A relative recently tried to add me here on Facebook. I didn't accept his friend request, though. It was for his own good. Seriously, Facebook profiles -- especially the private ones like mine -- should have a visible content- or age-rating system. Honesty? I'd rate my page an R-18. If you're below 18, I wouldn't accept your friend request. Again, it's for your own good. All of you know the kind of weird shit I post here. Tell me I'm wrong. Lol This is just friendly advice for parents (I hope you don't take this personally): please keep your 12-year-old kid away from Facebook, for God's sake. I post bastos crap all the time, but that's nothing compared to all the predatory shit around here on social media.  I'd say Facebook is even more damaging than the most violent movies or video games (well, come to think of it, there's LinkedIn too, but that's another story -- or post). And that's putting it lightly. (This blog post was, obviousl...

With the way things are going, I'm genuinely surprised that we aren't seeing "Pining Garcia" (pronounced "Pining Garsha") or Tiyo Paeng (pronounced "Chu Paeng") among the names of supposed confidential funds recipients. Those are two of Joey De Leon's go-to names in his movies, and are still 100% more believable than the uninspired crap that Sara Duterte's minions can ever come up with. 😆 (Heck, give me Andrew E's Binibi Rocha any day. Lol.)

People who don't know me personally, especially those who haven't worked with me, will take one look at the anti-AI posts and anti-work memes that I've been sharing here on Facebook, on Instagram, and even on LinkedIn (LOL) and immediately label me as shifty and unreliable (work wise). It's funny because I have former bosses here on Facebook, those who have a sense of humor of course, who just laugh at those posts. I have a strong work ethic, as both those who've managed me and those who've worked with me can attest, and I'm easy to get along with; but what I mainly have a problem with are those greedy capitalists, period. When you think about it, this should be EVERYONE's problem too. You can disagree with me all you want, but I do believe that we're living in an era of late-stage capitalism: wealth is increasingly becoming concentrated in the hands of a few billionaires and mega corporations, and basic commodities are becoming more expensive and th...

Pia Cayetano always reminding us, when she has the chance, that she's a lawyer. 😂 If you're trying to wield that like a weapon, remember that an experienced professional chef has professional knife skills as well. He or she can use those skills to scale and fillet a fish, or debone a fowl, or peel off the hide of some game animal -- or choose to slit another person's throat. You're a lawyer and senator, but you chose to use your skills, privilege, and experience to protect someone who misused her confidential funds; someone who regularly abused her power as both the vice president and education secretary (and as mayor of Davao City before that); and someone who (more recently) threatened the president of the republic and his wife, plus the former speaker of the House (I don't like any of them, but that's irrelevant in this case), and (several years ago -- but still) beat up a court sheriff who was just doing his job? And by the way, the person who did all that ...

The mob is blaming De'Aaron Fox for getting blocked by OG Anunoby, instead of holding the ball and waiting to get fouled. They say Fox lost San Antonio the game.  I wouldn't pin this on Fox. 1. You see an open lane to the basket, you take it strong. He got blocked by Anunoby, sure, but OG is a stud. (In fact, in the succeeding offensive play, it was Anunoby who tipped in the ball after a Jalen Brunson 3-point miss.) Fox's decision to go for the layup was the right call. 2. They were up by 29 fucking points. TWENTY-NINE. After that Victor Wembanyama flagrant foul on Karl Anthony Towns, the Spurs inexplicably jacked up eight 3-pointers. They missed all of them. (On the other end, the Knicks made their threes, which helped whittle down the Spurs lead even more.) Why the fuck would you continue shooting threes even after consecutive misses, when you can get higher-percentage shots in the paint? While still up big? That wasn't Fox's fault. 3. Wembanyama misse...
