Xenophobia, homophobia, and government fear mongering in the Philippines
My mother was telling me to not go to this specific college because a lot of Muslims started to go to school there for engineering and it is her firm belief that they are all applying for engineering because they’re going to make more bombs.
Me and my aunt told her she was being racist she said not it’s true. I asked her where did she get this from and she replied with “homeland security” which is a fucking AMERICAN TV SHOW I slapped my forehead so hard my aunt looked like she lost all hope. 
we’re not even American we live in the Philippines and she’s being affected by the stupid propaganda and refuses to listen to reason because she’s catholic and therefore anyone with literally any religion besides her must be either stupid and ignorant or very evil.
I tried to explain to her that terrorists and Muslims were not the same thing and she just won’t fucking listen. 
This is the same shit as her telling me not to go to a different college because they force people to go naked and wear paper bags on their heads during freedom day or else they’ll get failed by their professors. Turns out that this was the result of propaganda against activism and since that specific college encourages students to exercise their right to have rallies they are a lot of dipshits spreading lies or contorting things to make it look wrong.
By the way the school is the University of the Philippines in Cebu if you hear wacky rumors about this place regarding the naked people with paper bags and very anti-activism remarks don’t fall for it, they’re most likely lies and made specifically for people to not go there because they don’t want people to disagree with them on political agendas.
Very recently during my ROTC for our National Service Training Program. The ROTC director said that she was against activism because of the New People’s Army. Now firstly the new people’s army are not activists they are terrorists those are two different things.
But because she used activism instead of terrorism she’s immediately attaching a bad rep to it and since this is a government funded college that has free tuition a lot of the students are not that well versed in English to know what activism actually means. And because they don’t know what activism means they’ll just immediately attach activism to a group of terrorists who have killed people and they’ll think that being an activist is a bad thing. 
This is how they do it, in college they indoctrinate you with misinformation and heavily biased views without showing the whole picture so that you get tunnel vision and you do exactly as they say. 
They do not want leaders that want people who will do what they want and think they way they want them to. 
I do not have the ability as of the moment to do a very in depth explanation of everything since they do not talk about this to me. I am surrounded by die hard catholics, my family is very involved in the church, they are not the kind of people i’d want to tell who i voted for because when i did my aunt immediately made fun of it.
A lot of my family has very unfortunately voted for Marcos I loathe my aunt for that and also my uncle. He voted for Marcos because he didn’t want Leni to make gay rights and abortion legal. My aunt is a fucking piece of shit of course she would vote for Marcos she had no problem beating me in school in her office its not a far cry for her to vote the son of a dictator who’s showering is thieving mother with presents as if she fucking deserves it. My grandfather had voted for duterte because he’s sexist, an idiot who claims not to be an idiot, and duterte’s marketing was very heavy to people like him.
Once while we were in a mall we passed by a stall where a muslim woman was selling clothes. My grandmother said “that’s what she gets for being Muslim” and it shocked me so hard and it was just so baffling because my grandmother also owned a small store that sold miscellaneous items. I didn’t say anything because I did not expect that from my grandmother, my mom? sure she’s stupid like yeah you can solve algebra and you’re quick at maths but you lack the ability to comprehend that just because there are bad people in a religion doesn’t mean EVERYONE with that religion is bad. 
A lot of why people especially those that come from the provinces are like this is because they don’t have a lot of access to unbiased news or an outside view of our country. I used to be like them until the moment I was allowed more freedom to the internet and I could see just how bad everything actually is now that no one is holding my hand and closing my eyes.
People are straight up denying what happened during the Martial Law because of how Marcos has started to represent himself online. The Martial Law wasn’t that long ago so many people are still fucking alive from that time and just a few years ago before Duterte and the entirety of his fuckery came we all knew that the martial law was a bad time and it hurt and killed so many Filipinos. 
Tumblr media
By the heavens do not let people forget the past and ruin our future. Stop voting people who come from political families and control the country to benefit them. 
13 million idiots voted for Marcos and I’m not going to forgive or forget this. 
Also for Duterte and all of his stupid wars 
Tumblr media
FUCK YOU
There’s more by the way. This shit doesn’t end. 
Regarding the abortion rights and reproductive health. Its no surprise that the Philippines is a backwards country. They really hammer down the why would you kill a baby it’s a gift from god thing really hard. 
They prefer abstinence over actually teaching the students how to not get pregnant, how to not get STDS and how their body works. Just because it’s called sex education doesn’t mean the teacher is going to only talk about how to do sex and why you should do it.
Just because abortion would be turned legal doesn’t mean EVERYONE is going to abort the baby. There is a stupid amount of teenage pregnancy because you refuse to teach them how to have sex safely and because you have no problem with ruining the lives of everyone concerned with the young teenager but you have a big problem with getting rid of a pack of cells. 
I’ve heard so many stories of how many women have had their lives ruined because they were forced to raise a child that young. There is a very tiny generational gap between the mothers and their children. They do not have the emotional maturity to be in charge of a baby of raising an entire person. A lot of them will lose their identity, their dreams and their opportunities because you’re so far up your ass you can’t even consider their choice on the matter. Never force someone to carry a baby because pregnancy is not all fun times and rainbows and neither are babies. 
I love kids but i understand how stressful it is to live with barely any sleep because of the crying, the feeding, and the cleaning. This doesn’t happen to rich people this always is a problem with those without the money to support themselves. 
The same thing with gay people we did not have homophobia before the Spaniards came in. In fact in the Filipino language there is no he/she/him/her there is literally only they/them/you the only time you find out someone’s gender is when it’s explicitly said so. According to a spaniard’s diary documenting their interactions with the Filipinos of that time there was a person who didn’t like women, dressed in woman’s clothes and did women’s tasks but lived alone and explicitly avoided physical contact and the guy was just like ‘HUH I wonder why that man was so weird.’ (this is from a translated book that we do not own I only get to see pictures of it from someone I see in twitter the only public copy near me is one in Sydney Australia).
They use the sodom and gammorah bit of the bible so hard hell it worked on me until I started to realize that this was all horseshit and I’m an asshole. 
One time I had to listen to a priest say that “oh loving a man is fine biologically but Spiritually that’s wrong don’t be gay because its not right god doesn’t want you to be gay” this is the same priest who says “There are so many condominiums are around why are there still homeless people?” and also every time in every fucking homily he mentions how “wives should never leave their husband no matter how hard they beat you because God put you in that marriage”
I hate that priest with all my fucking body his name is Father Ciano Ubod he has a Youtube channel most of the people who watch him are all women and the fact that he’s telling women to not leave their abusive husbands instead of saying HEY maybe you shouldn’t beat your spouse? Because you know hurting people is WRONG he tells them to suck it up and love them. 
You may be a priest but your views drag you to hell.
Now this priest isn’t all bad because the only thing I agree with him is that you shouldn’t beat your children but also its ironic hurting kids is wrong but leaving your husband who’s hurting you is also wrong. Fuck you father ciano I hope you choke on a sausage and realize god doesn’t give a shit about you.
In Summary: people raise children to have tunnel vision and use fear tactics to control how they see anyone who opposes their agenda, the church is a carcass that attracts flies and maggots to powerful positions and affect the daily lives of everyone who has the misfortune of listening to them, Marcos is someone who pretends like his father and mother didn’t steal Billions of money from the Philippine government while abusing the country and then escaping, anyone who voted for him are ignorant and mislead or are pieces of shit on fire.

Her political career began when she ran for Las Piñas lone congressional district and won via a landslide margin vote. She lasted her post for 3 terms as Congresswoman. While her husband became Senate President, she helmed the Senate Spouses Foundation from 2006-2008. She eventually ran for her Senatorial post in 2013 and won, placing her as the 10th winning senator. She ran under Team PNOY as Guest Candidate, thus she was under her husband’s Nacionalista Party before the midterm elections.

I voted for her in 2013 and the ‘Sipag at Tiyaga’ mantra has passed on to generations. In fact, she will continue how her husband began the famous mantra, and even her roots in the family.
If you think Cynthia Villar is worthu to be in the Senate, voe for her on May 13. She is the candidate of Nacionalista Party and you may shade her at No. 62 (the last candidate in the Senators list) in your ballot.

KASALUKUYANG PANUNUNGKULAN NI PANGULONG DUTERTE
“Change is coming” ito ang linya itinatak ng kasalukuyang pangulo ng Pilipinas—si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Ang pagsugpo ng paglaganap ng droga ang pangunahing gagawin ng presidente kung siya ay uupo sa pwesto. Ngunit, paglipas ng mahigit na dalawang taon, parang wala pa ring nararamdman na “pagbabago” ang kanyang mga nasasakupan. Bakit mas lumalala ang Pilipinas nang siya na ay umupo sa pwesto?
Sa dalawang taon na panunungkuluan ni Pangulong Duterte, maraming isyu ang nangyari na nakakitil ng buhay ng maraming sibilyan. Lalo noong inilunsad niya ang kaniyang kampanya kontra droga. Ayon sa online news website na Rappler (2018), halos 4,279 na suspek sa illegal na droga ang napatay sa loob lamang ng labing-isang buwan. Walang pinipiling edad ang pagpatay ng mga ito. Katulad lamang sa pagpatay ng 17 na taong gulang na si Kian Delos Santos. Naging malaking isyu ito sa bansa sapagkat nasangkot ang pulis sa pagpatay nito. Base sa mga naitala, pinagbintangan ang kaniyang ama na gumagamit ng droga kung kaya’t siya ay napaslang. Isa pa sa mga isyu ng kaniyang administrasyon ay ang TRAIN law. Ito ang pagpataw ng mataas na buwis sa mga bilihin at maalis ang buwis ng mga kumikita ng mababa pa sa Php 250,000  kada taon. Kung gayon na wala nang buwis ang mga kumikita, hindi rin nila maiipon ang kanilang sweldo sapagkat mauubos din ito sa mga kailangan nilang bilhin para sa pamilya. Nagkaroon din ng tensyon sa pagitan ng Simbahan at ng Pangulo. Dahil sa hindi pagkakasundo ng mga pari sa kasalukyang pamamalakad ni Duterte, hindi naging maayos ang relasyon ng bawat panig. Ayon sa ipinahayag ng CBCP sa kanilang website (2017), “The Duterte administration and the Catholic Church in the country want the same things, they just can’t seem to speak the same language and capitalize on common ground.” Isa ang Pilipinas sa kinikilala na may pinakamaraming bilang ng katoliko at may malalim na pananampalataya rito. Dahil sa hindi pagkakaintindihan ni Presidente Duterte at ng Simbahan, magkakaroon pa ng kasamaan ng loob sa pagitan nito.
Sa kabilang dako, hindi maipagkaakila na may pagkakapareho ang ating kasalukuyang pangulo at ang pinaka-kontrabersiyal na pangulo na si Pangulong Ferdiand Marcos. Hindi mapagkakaila ang kanilang pagkakapareho sapagkat pareho silang nagpakita ng parehong pag-iisip. Ayon sa lathala na isinulat ni Carmel Abao sa BusinessWorld (2018), “demobilization of the opposition” ang pareho nilang gustong mangyari sa ating bansa. Gusto nilang isugpo ang mga hindi sumasang-ayon sa kanilang pamamalakad. Kung gayon, nasaan na ang demokrasya ng ating bansa?
Ang kaniyang pag-alyansa sa China ang isa rin sa mga maiinit na pinag-uusapan sa bansa. Nagkaroon ng state visit si Chinese president Xi Junping, kung saan pumirma ng dalawanpu’t siyam na kasunduan ang dalawang bansa. Halimbawa na lamang nito ay ang business trades, kultura at edukasyon. Dahil dito, umani ng maraming batikos ang pangulo at patuloy na nasisira ang kaniyang imahe sa mga Pilipino. Lumalabas na binenta ng Pangulo ang ating bansa sa China.
Ito lamang ang ilan sa mga isyu na hinaharap ng mga Pilipino ngayon na nagpapakita na walang pagbabagong nangyayari sa ating bansa. Marami man siyang nagawang maganda para sa ikabubuti ng Pilipinas, nangingibabaw pa rin ang mga bagay na lubos na nakaapekto sa mga normal na mamamayanan. Bagaman ang pagsugpo ng paggamit ng droga ang pangunahing tinutupad ni Pangulong Duterte, hindi lang dapat iyon ang kaniyang pagtuuan ng pansin. Maraming bagay na nasasagasaan sa kaniyang pag-aasam ng pag-alis ng krimen sa bansa. Tulad na lamang ito ng pagbagsak ng ekonomiya, mga abusadong opisyal at malalang trapik sa ating mga pangunahing kalsada sa bansa. Ang kaniyang katagang “Change is Coming” ay patuloy pa rin, ngunit ang pagbabago na inaasam ng bawat Pilipino ay nagkaroon ng negatibong epekto na nakasira at nakakitil ng buhay ng lahat ng mamayanan ng ating Perlas ng Silangan.

#FACTElections2019: Know Thy Candidates (Sonny Angara)
Tumblr media
Little did you know that he continues what the late Father’s work has done in the Senate through the years? and how this man became instrumental in authoring 160+ bills from his congressional stint in 9 years and his 1st 6 years in the Senate? And how he championed many, including Senior Citizens and Students because of the expanded Senior Citizens act and the Kindergarten Education act which is now legacy bills?
PROFILE
Sonny, born Juan Edgardo Angara, is the son of the late Senator Edgardo ‘Ed’ Angara. He was born on July 15, 1972 in Manila. He is the lone district representative of Aurora province for three terms in the 13th-15th Congresses, taking over his slot from his aunt, Bella Angara-Castillo, who became the Governor of the said province in 2004.
He authored the legislative bills from his 9 years as Congressman, most notably: the Expanded Senior Citizens act (RA 9994); UP Charter of 2008 (RA 9500); Magna Carta for Women (RA 9710); Civil Aviation Authority Act of 2008 (RA 9497); National Cutural Heritage Act of 2009 (RA 10066); and Kinder Education Act which is the proponent of the now-called K-12 Program (RA 10157).
During his 1st term as Senator, he authored the amended Public Employment Service Office law (PESO Law) or RA 10691, the Seafarer’s Protection Act or RA 10706, the naturalization of Andray Blatche who is now currently playing for the Philippine men’s Basketball team or RA 10636, the VAT Exemption for PWD’s (RA 10754), and the increase of take-home pay for Filipino workers (RA 10653).
Currently, Sonny chairs the Senate Committee on Local Government, and Committee on Ways & Means. He is married to Tootsy Echauz-Angara and blessed with Three children. He was a trainee for Metrobank back in 1991, and once a reporter for The Philippine STAR in 1992. He is also a law professor of New Era University College of Law and Centro Escolar University School of Law & Jurisprudence.
PERSONAL VIEW
Just like his father, Sonny worked hard to pursue the dreams of every Filipino, especially Students, Senior Citizens, Women, and PWD’s. Even Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo is a supporter of the Angara’s including her endorsement to the late Ed Angara in his last term as Senator in 2007, and her endorsement to Sonny in his 2013 Senatorial campaign.
For me, Angara is truly a brave person who defended some of the issues, including the resolution to review Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno’s appointment via Quo Warranto petition where he was one of the signatories. He abstained his vote on whether the late Ferdiand Marcos to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, and he also voted in favor of the so-called TRAIN (Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion) Law.
Also, I love his passion for the nation, most especially when he authored the Naturalization bill for 6′11″ NBA Player Andray Blatche to be a bonafide Filipino Citizen and play for the National Team.
If you think Sonny Angara is worthy to be in the Senate, vote for him on May 13. Shade at No. 8 beside his name. He is a candidate of Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP).
(NEXT WEEK: Bam Aquino)
