Anti-Charter Change “People, not the System” stupid and absolutely illogical
“That lame excuse that anti-Charter Change people used in saying “It’s the People, not the System” is a stupid and absolutely illogical statement because if one dares to say that it’s the people that need to be changed, the question thus is HOW DO YOU CHANGE THESE PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE?”
Thus says one B7 reader’s comment to Reyna.
(Parati na lang akong natatawag na stupid. Once is enough. Two is two much. Three is… leche! Totoo na yata ang memo na to! Hahaha!)
He would then send me a thesis-like commentary, very well thought out, nicely written, then he poisoned it with “ya’all are stupid and illogical” kinda thing.
He needs some spanking from Reyna and I’d give him some failing grades in my Social Climbing Classes 101 hehe!
Anyway, the original blog entry could be found here: Presidential or Parliamentary: Which one will solve the economic and political crisis in the Philippines? and I would like to share you his thesis:
Basa mga ka-barrio!
Dear Reynz,
Sooner or later, you’d probably realize that different systems not only have different results, but also different systems CAUSE PEOPLE TO ACT DIFFERENTLY, and if you continue causing people to act differently, they get used to acting differently and that because habit… Done long enough, that habit becomes the culture, and when that really gets embedded, you will find that the people will have changed FOR BETTER or FOR WORSE.
A better system is one that clearly results in having people who do things better, and if you continue having these people do things better, their habits improve and those improved habits eventually become the improved character of that people.
Let me explain a hypothetical example:
University A and University B have very similar students demographically. The students all come from the middle class and above.
Apparently, the students of both are similar because the matriculation fees are similar, and thus, only those who can afford to pay A’s or B’s rates ever think of going there. The sample populations of both universities reveal that they have very similar mixes of high school alumni and their populations pretty much look, talk, sound, and act alike. In fact, people from University A and University B have a lot of old friends in the other school, having perhaps been old high school classmates.
However, their systems are different.
University A:
University A has a rigid, highly selective admissions system where only students with high grades and high IQ’s. The teachers are extremely demanding and every year, students whose average grade point average dips less than 2.5 on a scale of 0 (fail) to 4 (highest) is automatically kicked out or at the very least, required to show excellent performance in the next term lest he/she be kicked out with finality.
The end result of such a rigid system is that the graduates of University A are highly sought after. The pressure to do well in school is so high that most students are forced to forego “gimmicks” and all sorts of pleasure-seeking all in the name of making the grade.
People who were relative slackers in high school who somehow made it in University A are forced to shape up, and after all is said and done, University A’s graduates are almost always serious, highly achievement-oriented, hardworking, and diligent. Always sought after by companies, and those who do go into business, always always succeed.v
University B:
University B, on the other hand, while attempting to get similar students as University A, by having a somewhat “similar” set of standards as far as admissions are concerned, is a lot newer than University A. As such, it is forced to realize that it cannot attract the exact same students as University A, because University A already has the prestige and so all the good students want to go there. University B has no choice but to RELAX its standards.
In the end, University B, while having similar middle-to-upper class students similar to the types who study at University A, gets students who come from the same high schools that supply students to University B, but take from the average percentiles. Also, it relaxed on the grade point average requirements so that its students only need to have an average of 0.5 (in a scale of 0 to 4, with 4 the highest). Moreover, students aren’t as stressed out as University B as the teachers aren’t expected to bombard the students with too much work.
The result is that University B students love to party. They love to go on gimmicks, and they love to just hang-out, cut class, have fun.
In the final analysis, University B students aren’t as sought after as University A students. Some prestigious companies thus require University B graduates to line up with the rest of the applicants to take a battery of exams just to get an interview, while any graduate from University A need not go through such. In fact any graduate from University A is automatically granted an interview in such companies. In some companies, any graduate from University A is immediately given the job!
Now, I ask you… Isn’t the system important, thus?
Because truth be told, what University A has is a SUPERIOR SYSTEM. It is a system that does not rest on its laurels after admitting top high school students, but instead, insists on continuously screening the students every semester or every year.
University B, on the other hand, has an INFERIOR SYSTEM as it promotes slacking and does not force its students to work hard and get sharpened.
That is why the question of SYSTEM IS IMPORTANT.
It is quite obvious, Reynz, that you seem rather convinced that the Parliamentary System is actually superior to the Presidential one. (Hint: It IS TRUE and it IS acknowledged worldwide by Ivy-Leaque PhD’s of political science, economics, and other social sciences that the Parliamentary System IS SUPERIOR) However, you are somehow trying to say that despite being a BETTER SYSTEM, “something else is important.”
Now using the above proof about the schools, you need to realize that the Presidential and Parliamentary Systems cause their players to ACT DIFFERENTLY.
In the Presidential System, the focus is on the Presidency which is the office of ONE person. In the Parliamentary System, the focus is on the Parliament, which is the entire TEAM, composed of both a Majority (government aka “administration”) and a Minority (opposition). The power dynamics in the Presidential System is highly PERSONALITY BASED, precisely because it is a single person on whom responsibility for executive decisions rests. Moreover, that person is also required to serve of Head of State (not just as Head of Government)
Worse, during elections, the PERSONALITY aspect of the candidates always comes to the fore precisely because of this. Given that Filipinos are an extremely emotional, sentimental and personality-based (as opposed to issues-based) people, the result is the hyper-Personalism of the campaigns. While Americans and the French (the US and France are the only two well-known First World countries that use the Presidential System) do use the highly personality-oriented Presidential System, the more politically-mature culture of both countries has balanced off the Presidential System’s inherent personalism with a more no-nonsense aspect that makes both countries still essentially focused on Platforms.
As for the Parliamentary System, because in truth it is PARLIAMENT (not the Prime Minister) which governs the country, the power dynamics are different.
Parliament governs the country, and the majority party/coalition directs Parliament, and in turn, the Prime Minister LEADS the majority party/coalition.
Think of a Russian Matryoshka doll. A doll inside a doll inside a doll. Or maybe Voltes V is better: The giant robot is controlled by a team of pilots who make up the different parts of the robot. And that team is LED by one guy who sits at the head.
Anyway, back to the Parliamentary System: In such a system, the majority party/coalition only gets majority when people across the country vote for the party (or the parties that make up the coalition).
What would cause people to vote for one party versus another? What is it that differentiates the party of one’s choice from other parties?
The answer: PLATFORM
A party is different from another party because of PLATFORM.
It is for this reason that in Malaysia, the elections are less stupid, personalistic, and rambunctious as opposed to the ones in the Philippines. Hardly any stupid dancing and singing in campaigns.
Instead, Malaysia – while its majority Bumiputras (Malays + other indigenous Malayo-Polynesian natives) are very similar in culture to Filipinos (they too are happy-go-lucky like us, musically-inclined like us, etc), has highly PLATFORM-CENTRIC ELECTION CAMPAIGNS.
In Malaysia, the Parti Islam SeMalaysia WINS the elections in Terengganu and Kelantan not because the party’s leader, Datuk Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, or any of its individual members of parliament is a rock star or a movie star look alike.
Majority of the Malaysians in both northern states vote for “PAS” (short form of “Parti Islam SeMalaysia”) only because they AGREE with the PAS Manifesto and Platform of upholding conservative ISLAMIC Traditions.
See how it works, Reynz? The Parliamentary System in Malaysia causes the very Pinoy-like Malays of Malaysia’s Northern States of Kelantan and Terengganu to ACT LIKE WESTERNERS in terms of being Platform-centric.
Like it or not, the Parliamentary System in Malaysia as well as in the countries that use the Parliamentary System, has FORCED THE ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO FORM THE ELECTORATE to decide based on Platform.
In the end, the people in government are thus forced to “sell their wares” in a very objective “PLATFORM-CENTRIC” manner, causing the election campaigns and speeches to be almost entirely focused on PLATFORMS, ISSUES, and relevant PROGRAMMES OF GOVERNMENT. Wala na yung pa-cute at pa-showbiz effect.
Now, do you really still think that the highly personality-oriented PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM should remain the “system of choice” in the already highly personalistic culture of the Philippines?
Or maybe it’s time we shifted over to the Parliamentary System that is OBJECTIVELY ACKNOWLEDGED by World Class scholars and PhD’s to be far more SUPERIOR?
That lame excuse that anti-Charter Change people used in saying “It’s the People, not the System” is a stupid and absolutely illogical statement because if one dares to say that it’s the people that need to be changed, the question thus is HOW DO YOU CHANGE THESE PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
And “changing people” means two things:
1) Changing the people by replacing old people with new ones
2) Changing the character and/or nature of such people by coming up with a process (process = SYSTEM!) that reforms and changes their habits, customs, and culture so that they cease to act like their former selves.Moreover the question of “which PEOPLE?” needs to be asked:
1) The leaders/elected officials?
2) The voters who choose those leaders/elected officials in the first place?
3) both elected officials AND voters?Looking at how things work, the answers turn out to be thus:
A) number 2; Changing the character or nature of the target people by adopting a process/system that reforms their behavior/actions/habits and eventually alters their character entirely.
B) number 3; that the target for such reform is BOTH elected officials AND votersNow. Don’t you think that the adoption of the SUPERIOR, more EFFICIENT, less personality-oriented and MORE PLATFORM-centric Parliamentary System actually means that the BEHAVIOR of BOTH elected officials and voters CHANGES for the better precisely because the adoption of a different system that has a different way of doing things and a different FOCUS forces both the electorate and the candidates for election to ACT DIFFERENTLY?
Don’t you agree that by shifting over to the Parliamentary System which is less personality-oriented and more platform-centric, voters will be more likely to look more at platforms and less on personalities and likewise, elected officials will focus more on platforms and issues than on pure “winnability?”
Take note that Malaysia itself is an extremely great example of how a very Pinoy-like people (believe me, Bumiputras/Malays are very very similar to rural Pinoys, except for their accent and religion) who have natural Pinoy tendencies end up NOT ACTING LIKE PINOYS during elections and campaigns so that they focus more on Party/Coalition PLATFORMS as opposed to all the dancing, singing, pageantry, and invitation of celebrities?
Reynz, be honest… Don’t you now agree that perhaps a SYSTEM CHANGE really is indeed in order?

and he never ever said anything suggesting “ya’all are stupid and illogical” like you said up there so cheer up! we can’t rid ourselves of the status quo if we defend the status quo.

double your pleasure naman, parehas den lang naman yon sa sinabi nya dito:

side question: curious lang ako sa signature mo. what does it mean?
be very careful with anonymous horses reynz. stop being nice. some pleasures were not sent to please.

careful with pleasure
huh?!
what i’d like to see is the removal of protectionist provisions in the 1987 constitution so that the philippines would attract lots of foreign investors that would
i. revitalize various industries here, including manufacturing
ii. create more jobs that their operations require
iii. encourage among already-existing companies to pay their employees better or else lose them to new companies that offer more attractive compensation and better working conditions
iv. increase competition among companies as far as offering better products/services/deals to customers, resulting significant improvements in available products/services/deals (because those companies that offer lower quality products, poorer-relative-to-competitors service, and least attractive deals, will die out)
v. make it more possible for more people to move up from their socio-economic class without leaving the country for a higher-paying toilet-cleaning career
so basically, freak out the oligarchs here while benefiting a very large cross section of philippine society.
constitutional amendment should be okay if we’re fully informed what will change, and we get to vote for or against the change. if amending the 1987 constitution will accomplish the above, then we can all party while the oligarchs sweat it.
don’t forget,
double your pleasure
@double your pleasure,
napaka interesting you brought out on the other thread na puro fallacies and mga comments dito taz medyo nagiging active ka na hehehe iyo na ang issue about the oligarchs. baka naman me nagpadala rin seyo dito para bantayan kami hehe. maraming mga pinadalang guards dito na hindi ayon sa aming mga opinyon kasi.
pero sang-ayon ako pagdating sa mga changes na sinasabi mo. makes sense yan ‘cept the oligarchs issue kasi kanya kanyang sampalan lang naman yan.
dun pa rin ako sa can you really trust this people na yan nga ang gagawin o baka isalpak ang forever gloria on the seat. yan ang tunay na issue, korak?
We would only change once we become more in touch of our indegenous and oriental side instead of colonial and occidental side.
right on mumbaki, gaya nga nang concern ko, sino ba sa mga yan ang mapakagkakatiwalaan about changes sa constitution?
Reynz,
Alam mo, di naman problema kung may lider na tatagal sa puesto eh. Ang importante ay magkaroon ng RESULTA.
Alam mo ba bakit “masama” si Makoy? It’s not because he was in power “too long.”
That’s crap, dude. Masama si Makoy because HE DID NOT DELIVER.
Alam mo, kung katulad sana siya ni Lee Kuan Yew o kung sino pang ibang leaders dyan na matagal sa puesto PERO MAY RESULTA NAMAN AT NAPAGANDA ANG EKONOMIYA at KABUHAYAN NG MGA TAO, nobody would really hate Makoy except for his enemies and yet the masses would love him.
Kaya nga lang people started to hate him was because he DID NOT DELIVER, especially considering the high population growth rate of the Philippines, which requires that GDP growth outpace the population growth rate.
So, please let me be blunt… yung sinabi mong “dun pa rin ako sa can you really trust this people na yan nga ang gagawin o baka isalpak ang forever gloria on the seat. yan ang tunay na issue, korak?” is rather… *AHEM* on the…
…INTELLECTUALLY-CHALLENGED side.
Hey, I didn’t use “stupid”, did I?
Pero aminin mo ang katotohanan, Reynz: NO ONE (especially in other countries) REALLY GIVES A F*CK IF A LEADER STAYS LONG IN POWER SO LONG AS THE LEADER DELIVERS ON A) THE ECONOMY B) IMPROVING THE PEOPLES’ STANDARD OF LIVING
I rest my case…
Hindi ko na problema kung ang kausap mo in me is intellectually challenged hehe! Kasama kasi yan dun sa sinabi ko na typical na argumentation is that – stupid ang opinion mo and no one should believe you vs. logical ang opinion you and you should believe me.
Oo naman da king. It’s the food on the table that counts. Pag busog ang tao, walang mag-rereklamo.
hey da king,
for once, salamat sa very well thought out comment mo. that was one very good commentary – social climbing on my part excluded.
unfortunately, hindi ako naniniwalang stupid ang statement na “It’s the People, not the System” dahil obvious na whoever man na ilagay mo sa pwesto na yan have always and continually that our leaders betray us. thing sa mga typical na argumentation is that -stupid ang opinion mo and no one should believe you vs. logical ang opinion you and you should believe me. merong pruweba bakit people believe na it’s not the system at mas lalong hindi illogical ang thinking na ganun.
now tinamaan ako? of course naman. pero no worries da king, sanay na ang lola sa mga bato. hehehe! look how nice i am, one full blog entry ka hehe i wanted to highlight na maganda ang explanation mo kahit hindi ako sold.
Right. Hahaha! That’s the real reason bakit merong mga midnight legislations di ba?
I remember those mayors sa Pampanga clamoring for Gloria to run sa Congress. Me resulta naman talaga. Look how wealthy they became.
ehem,ehem….pwede bang sumali? ok, intellectually challenge ako…inaamin ko….pero ganito yan, kailangang ba nating mag karoon ulit ng isang Marcial law? para makamtan ang ganitong pag babago? Tama its the people na namumuno ang makapag papabago sa buong sanlibutang Pilipinas! isang tao na may puso at may damadamin para maramdaman ang pag hihirap ng kanyang kababayan! Tama, kailangang i-deliver ang kanyang mabuting mithiin…. ang hirap kasi, madaming masyadong matatalino sa Pilipino! gusto lahat sila matalino, payabangan dito, payabangan duon…kamkam dito, kamkam duon…kasi matalino sila. Sino ang hindi mga sumusunod sa batas? sino pa eh di silang gumagawa ng batas? Nasaan si Juan dela Cruz heto nasa baba….nakatunganga sa kanila, nag hihintay ng mga mumo nila na mahulog mula sa kanilang lapag!
Ang punto ko lang dito….hindi sa intellectually challenge ako dahil para ako kay Noynoy….ang sa amin po ay ganito, ‘wag tayong mag-away at mag watak-watak dahil sa pag pili ng bagong Presidente…kahit palitan ang system ng ating gobyerno ay ganun pa rin ang lalabas dahil kung ang mamumuno ay Corrupt ganun din ang kanyang mga taga sunod…kung ang isang mamumuno ay malinis ang hangarin sa bayan…at sabi nga kailangan ng pag sasagawa, so kailangang may desiplina mula sa itaas hanggang paibaba…kailangang linisin ang itaas hanggang ibaba….madaming pag-babagong gagawin bago makamtan ang gusto nating kaginhawaan…ang tanong? ilan kaya sa mga gustong tumakbo at sa mga nakatalagang opisyales ng gobyerno ang may damdaming maka-bayan? at hindi pangsariling kaginhawahan? iyan ang tanong! dahil kung sino man sya, kailangang gamitan nya ng bakal na kamay ang kanyang pamumuno!, para mawala na ang mga opisyales na sumisira at gumagahasa sa buong Pilipinas……marami, marami syang magiging problema! katulad ni Obama, puputi agad ang kanyang buhok at tuluyang makakalbo! sino ang may gusto nyan? Sya ang tumanggap ng challenge at paghimok ng mga tao na mamuno sa Pilipinas! sino pa eh di si Noynoy! hahaha hey! I have free space here to comment di ba?
annie,
no offense ha but are you really saying noynoy would be able to stop corruption in six year’s time? i’m sure chiz, gibo, villar, perlas and any other candidate won’t be able to do this.
botomoto, well kung ikaw ay naniniwala sa kakayahan ng isang tao…lahat ay hindi imposible. Kailangan nating lahat na Pilipino ay mag ka-isa, mag tulungan, mag mahalan! gumawa ng mga bagay na ika-tataas ng bansang Pilipinas…..kung tayo ay panay nalang batikusan ng batikusan, at pahiran ng pahiran ng uling ng uling sa bawat isa…wala talagang mangyayari dyan! pwede naman sigurong ma-molitika ng walang kalkalan ng basura ng ibang basura di ba?
Sabi nga “kailangan nating mahalin ang ating kalaban at hindi lang ang ating kaibigan” bakit? dahil dumarating ang oras, na magiging mag kakaibigan tayo sa bandang huli, iyun ay kung papano tayo mag bigay ng respeto sa isat-isa. Hindi pa naman siguro guguho ang mundo sa 2012, kaya makikita pa rin natin ang unti-unting pag babagong magaganap….at ang pag babagong iyan ay sa ika-bubuti ng buong Pilipinas!
‘Wag tayong mag muni-muni kung mawawala ang Corruption sa ating bansa, mag tiwala tayo sa ating sarili na hindi tayo gagawa ng masama at masisilaw sa palamuti ng pera, dahil kung honest ka at may matatag na prinsipyo hindi mo tatanggapin ang naka-sisilaw na tawag ng “lagay”!. Hindi lang dapat i-asa kay Noynoy ang pag puksa ng Corruption, umpisahan ito sa ating sarili. I hope kaibigan naiintindihan mo ako…..tigilan ang pag bibigay ng lagay, sumunod sa mga patakaran ng lipunan at tayo’y aangat sa ting kinatatayuan ngayon!.
annie,
natanong ko lang because last time i checked even in countries like singapore, united states and so many others have corruption. so i figured maybe our candidates ought to base their platforms on something a little more realistic other than “stop coruption” (not that it’s not important). perhaps they should focus more on improving the economy in such a way that each and every filipino benefits from it.
as reinz acknowledged above “Pag busog ang tao, walang mag-rereklamo.” it makes sense naman di ba?
i used to think corruption can really be stopped 100% but i realized that’s not really possible.
the truth is nakakasawa na marinig ang mga pangako ng mga politiko na patungkol sa pagtatanggal ng korapsyon. dami na nagsabi niyan eh pero ang totoo niyan wala naman makagawa. kahit pilitin kong magtiwala kay noynoy o sa kung sino pa mang magsasabi na tatanggalin nila ang katiwalian, hindi ko talaga nakikitang magagawa nila ito. lalo pa kung ang kandidato ay may mga padrino siempre.
palakasin na lang nila ang ekonomiya para gumanda rin ang kita ng mga mamamayan. sa ganyang paraan baka mas mangyari pa na mabawasan ng malaki ang katiwalian sa bana. sabi nga ng isang kaibigan ko mas madali sigurong maging disente kung maganda naman na ang kabuhayan mo.
matanong ko lang pala ano ba ibig mo sabihin dito “Kailangan nating lahat na Pilipino ay mag ka-isa”? magkaisa sa anong bagay?
Botomoto, hello again, “magka-isa tayong lahat na Pilipino” means mag tulungan tayo na bigyan natin ng magandang Pangalan ang bansang Pilipinas. Simula sa ating Presidente hanggang sa pinakabatang nilalang na nabubuhay sa Pilipinas……Paano?
Ako ay isang magulang din katulad mo, nag hahangad ako ng mabuting kinabukasan para sa aking mga anak, kaya naman tinuturuan ko sila na hindi gumawa ng isang bagay na hindi ikabubuti ng kanilang kapwa at lalo na ng kanilang sarili.Magbigay ng respeto sa kapwa, matanda man o bata. Aminin ang kanilang pag kakamali and say sorry, please and thank you. Madami pa….ang ipinapakita natin sa ating mga anak ay ang kanilang ginagaya. Paano? paano mo ba pinagagalitan ang iyung mga anak kung sila ay nag kakamali o nag kakasala? binububog mo ba? o sinasabihan mo lang at itinatama ang kanilang pag kakamali? paano mo sila dinidisiplina?
Kaya ko lang nasasabi ito dahil ganyan katagal ang isang gobyerno para ma-imold nya ang kanyang sambayanan para maging maayos at matatag! oo, agree ako na naandiyan ang Corruption, hindi mawawala! kaya naandiyan yan kasi nga, kagagawan din ng mga taong nag susuhol at syempre sa kislap ng pera madami ang nagiging gahaman! ang kagahaman na yan ay gawa ng mga materyal na bagay na gusto mo ay mapasa-iyo na lahat! Pwede namang mabuhay ng simple at maligaya di ba? o ang layo mo! bakit tayo napunta sa simpleng buhay! gusto nga ng mga pilipino magarbo ang buhay di ba? iyun na nga eh, dyan nag uumpisa yan sa payabangan!
Well, mahirap mag explain sa taong matatalino…ako po ay isang intellectually challenge….kung hindi nyo ma gets bahala na kayo!
annie,
tama ka. maganda talagang magsimla sa bawat pamilya ang paghuhubog ng mga matitinong pilipino. bilang analogy, pwede rin nating tingnan bilang bansa ang pamilya at ang magulang ang mga namumuno. base sa ehemplo mo talagang nagmumula sa pagpapatupad ng magulang sistema nagsisimula ang lahat. at depende sa sistemang ipatutupad ng magulang doon mababase kung ano man ang kalalabasan ng mga anak. kung pangit ang sistema ng pagpapalaki ng magulang pangit ang resulta. kung maganda ang sistema maganda din ang resulta. nasa sistema nga talaga.
Thank you Kaibigan!
Ang sagot ko dyan ay combination! Dapat may matinong magulang na mag papatino ng isang pamilya! Para sumunod ang mga anak na maging matino rin di ba?
annie,
siempre kailangan matino at may kakayahan
may kaibigan ako nung elementary. napakabait ng magulang niya. sa sobrang bait hindi siya pinapagalitan at ibinibigay lahat ng gusto niya. kaya hayun lumaking spoiled ang kaibigan kong yun at siya’y naging adik.
matino yung magulang kaso mukhang walang kakayahan magpalaki ng tama kaya napariwara din ang anak.
dapat talaga ang mga namumuno — sa pamilya man o sa bansa — matino at higit sa lahat alam din ang gagawin. mahirap atang magpatupad ng sistema lalo na kung di mo alam paano gumawa ng maayos na sistema.
annie,
pahabol lang… actually, yung nga palang pagiging matinong magulang/pinuno dapat automatic na yun no? ang tanong na lang siguro ay sa kakayahan at kung anong sistema ang ipatutupad.
Well Botomoto, tinuturuan ko na mag karoon ng respeto ang aking mga anak….nirerespeto kita sa iyung paniniwala, ngayon kung ikaw ay lilihis ng landas nasa sa iyo na yun!
Tungkol sa iyung kaibigan……ang masasabi ko lang ay wala syang kwentang Anak! binigyan sya ng pag mamahal, dinamitan sya at inunawa…..at ang sukli nya ay kawalan ng respeto sa kanyang magulang? ano pa ang masasabi ko? baluktot ang isip nya!
Kaya tayong mga magulang turuan din natin ng hardwork ang ating mga anak!
Nung isilang ka sa mundong ibabaw, nalaman mo na ba kung anong klase ng magulang meron ka? kung paano ka nya didisiplinahin? kung ibibigay nya ba sa iyo ang lahat ng gusto mo?…..Well Kaibigan, pala-isipan po ang tanong ko!
annie,
“Kaya tayong mga magulang turuan din natin ng hardwork ang ating mga anak!” korek. dapat talagang ituro yan. pansin ko nga lang may iba talagang mga magulang siguro they mean well pero dahil di talaga sila maalam hindi rin nila maturuan ng mabuti ang kanilang mga anak.
naaalala ko tuloy ang storya ng buhay ni tiger woods. ang galing ng mga magulang nito. mula pagkabata binigyan si tiger ng kanyang mga magulang partikular ng kanyang ama ng mga turong naghubog sa kanya para maging “winner”. hinubog ang kanyang mindset para maging mahusay.
palagay ko hindi lahat ng magulang nagagawa ang ganito. minsan kasi nasa mga paniniwala din iyan ng magulang. example lang kung ang mindset ng magulang ay pangmahirap malamang ganun din ang maisasalin nito sa kanyang anak. swerte na lamang kung ang bata ay magkaroon ng sariling realisasyon na mapagbubuti niya ang kanyang sarili at sitwasyon.
mas maganda talaga kung ang mga magulang mismo ay nakapagbibigay ng magandang turo at mga tamang paniniwala sa mga anak.
kung di mo pa napapanood sana mapanood mo ang pelikula tungkol kay tiger woods. tiyak ko mapapahanga ka sa sistema ng pagpapalaki kay tiger na ipinairal ng kanyang ama. napakagandang sistema. pang-winner talaga.
See….dahil sa ama ni Tiger Wood ay naging magaling na manlalaro sya!Pinaiikot mo naman ako eh!
Ang ama nya ang nagtiyagang mag turo at sumanay sa kanya para ma-abot nya ang kanyang kasikatan ngayon di ba? So, nasaan ang system dyan? pangalawa na lang yan! sabi ko naman sa iyo….intellectually challenge ako!
Ano naman ang masasabi mo sa buhay ni Pacquiao? Dapat ba syang ipag malaki ng bawat Pilipino? Kitam! si Manny ay isang kahanga-hangang tao, kahit nasa tuyatog na sya ng kasikatan ay mapag kumbaba pa ring tao! ang sanay sa hirap ay nakakaramdam ng hirap ng ibang tao…..si Noynoy ay madaming pinag daanang pag hihirap na hindi alam ng mga tao!
Ikaw kaya ang lumagay sa kalagayan nya nuong lumaki sya na nakakulong ang kanyang ama…..namatay na lang na walang laban dahil sa pagmamahal sa kanyang mahal na bansa! Hindi muna naka-pag asawa dahil sa pag mamahal sa kanyang ina at mga kapatid! ang tanong ano naman ang connection nun? dahil sya ang tumayong ama pinasan nya ang pag aalaga sa kanyang ina at bantayan ang kanyang mga kapatid…..isa syang mabuting anak, at ang isang mabuting anak ay magiging mabuting ama rin! At magiging mabuting Pinuno ng bayan!
Well,ano ang tanong ko? karapat dapat ba si Noynoy maging Presidente? ang sagot ko ay Matigas na …..OPO!
O sya at kainan na!…..meron kaming adobo, chop suey, barbecue spare ribs at syempre…mainit na kanin! Welcome ka dito sa barrio namin Botomoto, anytime!
annie,
huh pinaikot?
anyway, magaling yung ama ni tiger woods. magaling ang turo. maganda ang sistema. tsaka tutok talaga kay tiger.
kaso may iba din mga sitwasyon na kahit ano galing ng pagpapalaki ng magulang wala rin nangyari sa anak.
sa kaso ni tiger woods mabuti na lamang at nakinig siya. hindi nasayang sa kanya ang turo ng kanyang mga magulang.
teka bakit nga ba napunta kay noynoy eh sistema ang topic? anyway puwede talagang maging mahusay na pangulo si noynoy yun ay depende kung ano ang laman ng utak niya hindi lang ng puso. sabi nga ni albert camus ““The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.”
masusukat natin kung may potensyal talaga si noynoy para maging maayos na pangulo kapag nilabas na niya ang plataporma niya. dun kasi natin makikita kung may maganda siyang sistema.
uy teka not necessarily true ito ha “isa syang mabuting anak, at ang isang mabuting anak ay magiging mabuting ama rin! At magiging mabuting Pinuno ng bayan!” malayo naman ang pagiging mabuting anak sa pagiging mabuting ama at lalo na sa pagiging pangulo. siempre una sa lahat may iba ibang skillset diyan. it doesn’t follow.
pero sana nga talaga maging mahusay si noynoy at ang iba pang mga kandidato. sino kaya sa kanila ang magiging bukas sa ideya na palitan ang mga sistema dito sa ating bansa? ako gusto ko malaman yun.
Ok, mag sunog ka na ng kilay…ngayun na! dalian mo, tumakbo ka at baka mahuli ka!
to THE KING and DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURES,
I am not the issue here and if you do not like my or OUR opinions, you two can open own blogs.
I disallow personal attacks especially coming from anonymous commenters.
People are weird and it’s always the same everywhere.
You could be in Manila. You could be in Australia or even in Singapore.
If you don’t agree with their position, then they start attacking you personally.
Mr The King – There is a reason why my CPA, MBA titles are in my “about me” page. There’s a long story about that that started sa kaVilang Varrio.
But what’s lousier with you is that if your opinion could not come accross, you’re no different from Benigno who calls people who do not agree with him as stupid, or Double your pleasures who calls the opinions of those people who do not agree with her as fallacies.
Bottom line is the same. Very FV, full of ad hominems.
