we get it, you don't like her.

Well, you gotta admit, he's not the only one. Then again, that's hardly news by now. :D

His absence from the country isn't helping his argument a lot. But more importantly, will he be content with merely quoting other people's diatribes, or will he actually do something about those feelings of discontent?

Hello everybody, Sorry guys ako ata ang nagsimula nito sa pagpost ko sa thread na ginawa last 12-29 2005 pa. Noong mga 70's, napakahirap ng situation (lalo na sa paguwi sa gabi) dahil sa nagkalat na pulis na basta na lang nangbabatuta sa mga estudyante na hindi naman nila alam kung sumali ba ito sa demo or hindi. Delikadong magsalita in public, ika nga. Ngayon , dito sa tsikot ang saya ko noong una kong nagpost. Ito ang Freedom of Expression on line sa isip ko. Sa akin, anong problema ba ang ibinibigay sa atin ng isang tao, sinasabi lang naman niya ang opinion nya or kung may nabasa man siya at ipinost nya. Palagay ko kung may ayaw kayo doon sa posting nya, banatan ninyo ung post nya, huwag ung tao (pati ba naman ung English ng tao eh ......pati kung nasaan sya...ano ba yan) Kung ito man ay dapat sa ibang thread nakalagay bakit ngayon nyo lang sinabi? Tsikoteer tayo ngayon ganyan na tayo..paano na lang kung nasa Malacanang na tayo...heheheehe. Kaya mahirap atang gumanda ang takbo ng lahat ng bagay sa Phils. eh.........Peace sa inyong lahat!

Well... if you call someone to be PGMA's arse-licker then that's what he got in return.

He-he! Bakit di na lang ipagbawal ang mga "anti-govt. or anti GMA" na threads dito. Para walang gulo, di ba? Lahat masaya.

Let's admit it, may mga nasasaktan eh.....

If the article / criticism is well constructed (like how Winnie Monsod and Dong Puno dishes it out) then why not?

But if it is a rehash of yesterday's news and full of generalizations (and without concrete actions suggested) it begins to sound irritating already.

Take for example the peso to dollar exchange mentioned in the article, the author contributed the strong exchange soley on OFW remittance. What the author did not mention is the 15% jump in our exports for this year and lower than projected budget deficit that might have also contributed to the said exchange rate gain.

If they can "criticize" the government & PGMA then why can't we critize the critics also? Are we not entitled to do that even at the risk of being branded as arse-lickers?

Dissent is most welcome here. It makes for healthy discussion naman.

But let's not hide behind other people's opinions all the time. If you appreciate/despise something or someone, especially if it concerns the government, then come right out and say so in your own words. Kahit mali-mali pa ang English, ok lang. Kung nahihirapan sa wikang banyaga, eh di tagalugin.

At least you'll be truly expressing yourself instead of just quoting someone else word for word, every time. Panindigan ang saloobin sa sariling pamamaraan, sa halip na magtago na lang sa sentimiyento ng iba.

UK is one of the most expensive place to live and has the most taxed residents. but family circumstances brought me here...and if i have the choice, i still like to live in the philippines - the very reason why watch/read news about the country.

i-quote ko na lang sinabi mo.

just follow your flow of thinking ... from poster na "inapi" to walang kwenta na kagad ang Pilipinas. analyze mo na lang bro.

Malaking issue na pala ang munting English lesson...

Sana po mapansin na it was a little poke-in-the-ribs for sir explorer not to get on too high a horse unless he is ready to defend his posts in a reasonable manner. Kapag kasi naging mapagmataas, one opens one's self to all sorts of questions. One must be ready to answer these questions, whether these are in jest or in all seriousness. Bawal ang pikon.

Napansin ko lang kasi in previous threads na palagi nalang last word niya is something to the effect of "...buti pa ako, I care..." without any real answers or refutations to the questions and/or issues posited him. Medyo nakakasawa lang kasi e.

Btw, sir oldblue, cool ka lang. Parang palaging masama gising mo these days a. No offense sir ha, pero mga sagot mo medyo way-off na.

Yun lang po. :popcorn: na me.
