just my two cents on the migration issue. I mean, yeah, you might have to leave the Philippines for a brighter future, for greater opportunities. But please don’t forget our country. Take a little patriotism as “baon” and come back with your acquired skills and experience (and wealth!) someday. This generation is definitely doomed, but the next isn’t. Yet.

Who knows, we still might be able to shape a better Philippines.

But that’s just me dreaming…

Me thinks this guy got bamboozled when he was doing a round in Quezon Ave.

@Nepenthe: I’m studying the issue, and I’m not really sure where I stand on it. Seems ridiculous that she could have cheated a well-established political clan of an election victory, though.

@Twin-skies: It seems Rep. Abante is actually a Baptist.
The Pope says hello.

When people ask me why I gave up being a Catholic, I point to Abante, and the CBCP, and I ask them:

\"Would YOU willingly follow orders from a bigot?\"

Hey 1T, can you do a piece on Gov. Padaca’s recent predicament? Yeah , she’s a politician and all but the ideal person in me wants to believe that she is different. Dinaya daw nya yung last elections. haha.

LMAO!

That reminds me of the Pansy Division song “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other”

Er. The CPP-approved marriage that one guy was talking about, I believe, is the one with the two red fighters who got communist-married. Guys, that is.

If my memory serves me right, these two dudes got separated from their cadre when the military attacked. They hid behind some tree or cave or something, waiting the night out while a rain of bullets gently pattered their cover. Gripping their rifles (hur hur), they talked about what they were fighting for, why they’re both hard for Stalin or something, and when morning came, they realized they really like each other.

I hear it was very romantic.

@onetamad

Been planning it for ages anyway. I\’m gay and though I\’m not exactly a tranny nor effeminate (so I don\’t have to worry about bashing), that\’s not much of a comfort from idiots like Abante (the irony of his name hasn\’t escaped me either). I have no future here. At least in other countries, gay marriage is something that is fought for seriously, not to mention much more open GLBT communities. I know it\’ll be aaages before the Philippine government will even touch on such issues, too afraid of the Vatican, too ignorant to even think outside the box of organized religion. And I don\’t want to wait for that, I want to get married too, I want to live dammit.

Also my line of work is 3d modeling/texturing for games. The Phils has virtually no game industry, so I can\’t exactly survive here either. Unless I\’m willing consider a career shift to selling pandesal that is. LOL

Communists are little better too. Thinly veiled totalitarianism and cults of personalities. No matter how attractive socialism is, I\’d go with the European model rather than the soviet model of the CPP.

I\’m curious as to what a CPP approved marriage looked like though. LOL. Knowing full well that communist countries despite being supposedly free of the shackles of religion and sexism are all paradoxically homophobic.

We\’re doomed! We\’re doomed I say!
