Thoughts Unlocked in the Time of COVID-19 (Log # 2)

Health is a fundamental human right of every Filipino.

Let us demand for a competent and efficient government!

Tama na! Sobra na!
#OustDuterte2020 #OustDuterte

.

This government is asymptomatic.

No symptoms of efficiency

.

Remember Bird Box on Netflix?

Instead of blindfold, we wear face masks. Can’t leave our homes.
Sana matapos na ito.

.

Dear future wife and kids,

Look oh, naka-ready na ang Netflix for our family.

Hahaha

.

To make this quarantine more productive, (aside from online classes) I am writing and finishing my proposed academic article for a communication and media journal.

Thank you FEU University Research Center for generously providing me an aid-in-writing grant.

Siya pa rin po ang bida mga kapamilya.
We don’t need that story!

.

Jump cuts.

French new wave ba itu? Haha

.

“Hindi ito panahon ng pagsasamantala.”

So, may right timing pala for that?

.

Duterte is romanticizing the death of our modern heroes.

What to expect from someone who does nothing but to conceal his government’s incompetence from the public!

.

Tulong, hindi kulong.
Medikal, hindi militar.
Vico, hindi Koko.
Duterte, hindi oke.

.

Under this administration, competence is a crime.

Insecure?

.

PDutz: Happy April Fool’s Day!

Me: weh, First time?

.

Do not intimidate the people.

We have nothing to lose but our chains!

.

The Purge, gets?

.

Paalala:

Virus po ang kalaban,
hindi ang taumbayan.

“Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal-dilag
Ang ‘di magnasang makaalpas
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha at dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya…”

(from Bayan Ko)

Pilipino,

“Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again

When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes”

(from Do You Hear The People Sing?)

I’m proud of my VisCom peeps.

May kuwento ako:

FRIEND: Why are you so political?

ME: Because everything is political.

FRIEND: Nope, I’m not political. Tahimik nga lang ako, ano bang magagawa ng pagiging kritikal nyo na yan!

ME: Exactly. That is your political ideology. Being silent is political. If you think you are helping because of your silence or being neutral, you are actually taking the side of the oppressor. Without realizing it, you contribute in maintaining the status quo, the hegemony. You are accepting everything as if they are just “normal” in our society.

FRIEND: Bakit, ano ba ang dapat na “normal”?

ME: Not to be like you. That’s not normal.

At simula noon ay naging former friend na nya ako. Hahaha.

Oh come on, gising na boy!

THE END.

(Warning: Nakakasira ng friendship si PDutz. Be critical at your own risk.)

If you have the privilege to study and acquire a degree, be thankful for that but do not say:

“Magsisikap ako sa pag-aaral para hindi maging tulad nila na mahirap buong buhay nila.”

Most of the time, it is not their fault why they are hopelessly mired in poverty and underdevelopment. The current system plays a big role in the creation of socio-economic divide.

Instead, change your mindset with this:

“Magsisikap ako sa pag-aaral para mas lalong maunawaan ang lipunan at maging bahagi ng solusyon.”

Achieving your dreams to be someone better than anyone else and look down on others is different from achieving your dreams to be better equipped in providing solutions.

Dream with purpose. Be an advocate of social change.

Nilalait nya si Atty. Diokno. Personal attack?

No wonder why many DDS speak the same way. May pinagmanahan.

.

May pag-trashtalk kay

Atty. Diokno.

Online Rambulan pala ito sir!

.

Youth, don’t be discouraged.

Your physical appearance has nothing to do with what you can do for your country.

.

Pustahan ito ang news bukas.

Don’t take it literally. He’s just using big teeth as a metaphor of how big his love for us.

.

“Ad Hominem ”

Attacking the person rather than reason or argument

Nagbubunga ang ating pagkalampag!

“After weeks of online petition for mass testing. The government already gave in and the Filipinos won again. The Government is now planning to have a mass testing of COVID-19 in the country as the next move in efforts to stop the spread of the infectious disease.” (from metroscenemag.com)
