And so now Filipinos are calling for the ouster of President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino. Well, some say it’s 5 years too late. But, you know, a year is still a lot of time to spread his trademark BS all over the Philippines. And buti sana if it’s just the same ha-ha BS. The massacre of 44 SAF policemen is proof that funny BS can turn into not-so-funny BS. So tragic talaga. Despite President BS Aquino being so bobo, he still won in 2010 and went on to rule for another five years.
But what really makes me wonder is why President Joseph “Erap” Estrada who was also bobo and also a sad slave to barkada and a lot of unsavory vices did not survive past his fourth year while BS Aquino who as we all know now is so full of the “S” in “BS” was tolerated by Pinoys for so long — with fatal consequences!
Well, it sort of came to me last night! President BS Aquino enjoyed the support of rich and sosyal people. During his campaign my Facebook timeline was filled with emotic messages of support from Atenistas, LaSallistas, Assumptionistas, and all the other Istas you can think of (o sige na nga, da Kulasas too). You’d think kiddos with that sort of royal schooling would be a bit smarter. But no. Aquino despite having a cavity where a brain should have been somehow appealed to educated people.

That whole thing — a time when being opposed to a BS Aquino presidency was considered KJ (killjoy) — made me realize that Pinoys are just bandwagon hoppers. They see an “in” movement and they start changing their Facebook profiles into the logos and faces of that movement. Come to think of it, before the whole Noynoy-for-President insanity, there was the death of Tita Cory, which also prompted a lot of bozos to engage in a mass hysteria of emotional blubbering all over social media. I swear, I could almost wipe tears and uhog off my computer screen at the time when I logged onto Facebook. Specially the Atenistas — wow, I was, like, magpakalalaki naman kayo!
Don’t get me wrong, Tita Cory was a nice lady. But in retrospect, we can see now that the path she had been taken in her final decade was pretty much the trajectory her son BS Aquino would continue — engaging in too much of the personality politics and the misguided “alliances” with whoever that started the irreversible erosion of the “EDSA magic”.
No thanks, of course to the Philippine media. And here I was thinking sosyal people derided Filipino TV as baduy. Turns out these latte-sipping guys and gals did not know what they were talking about and were as big suckers for TV boboism as any wretched Willie Revillame fan. I gotta give some credit to ABS-CBN. They really did a number on the minds of this lost generation. Imagine that: an entire generation lost to Yellowtardism. Despite the bright colors flying all over the place, this age will go down in history as a really DARK one. Ha ha!
So it looks like we’ve come full enough circle to realize an important lesson here. It’s not really all about being just “popular”. It’s about being popular in the right circles.
President BS Aquino and his kamaganaks and kabarkadas were backed by the right circles — rich land owners, media moguls, and a bedrock of techo-savvy minions who spewed gigabytes of inanities all over the Net. I find it funny that a lot of them have become turncoats after this crisis. Kapal talaga. After being such rabid Noytards in the old days, they now make like they are such cluey ‘activists’. Not! Palibhasa being anti-Noynoy is so “in” already now.
In fairnes, at least they change colors presumably on account of some reflection they did in light of recent events. Better late than never. Unlike some people. There are lot of folks out there who will probably NEVER abandon their Yellow “heroes”. That sort of blind loyalty is right up there with primitive religidiotic thinking. Those brain-dead “Panahon na, Magka-isa” songs of the mid-1980s that ABS-CBN kept drumming ad nauseum into our heads back then may as well be their bible. They’re all wearing Reason-Proof vests.
That’s the whole problem when you bake religion into politics and come up with that addictive Yellow cake that Filipinos subsisted on since 1986. Sarap sarap to sayaw sayaw, right?
Ocho-ocho pag may taym…
Filipinos certainly made a lot of time back then to sayaw-sayaw da ocho-ocho. And yet here we are after that last sham of an EDSA people power anniversary. The streets once-teeming every Feb 25 were all but silenced by the idiocy of a president who’s become scared shitless of his own people. His “bosses” daw. What a laugh!
Umuwi ka na lang! Not to Malacanang but to your daddy’s house in New Manila!
The Philippines has become Kaboboan Central under the presidency of Noynoy Aquino. How can Filipinos be proud of such a country? Tanong lang naman. Sagot sagot pag may taym. Please naman.
Frustrated artist doing geek for a living.
The Noytards of the ‘intelligentsia’ like him because Momma & Daddy are ‘IN’ at the GOCC’s and business’s that all prosper due to their ‘allegiance’ to the Aquino’s.
The RP has done well ,in some spheres, since Aquino took office and all the people and their families that have made mucho peso’s because of the ‘retarded one’ still have the guys back.
Gagawan daw ng sequel ang Sleeping With the Enemy. May bed scene si Iqbal at Kris Aquino tapos supporting actors si Ngoyngoy at Colonel-Ferrer. Supporting lang si Ngoyngoy kasi yung MILF at iba pang terrorist groups ang totoong bida. Si Iqbal ang PR Manager nila kaya kailangan niyang makuha si Kris para mauto si Ngoyngoy at ang Pilipinas.
Filipinos hate being left out. They want to be part of the crowd because of the values instilled in them by the family and peers – “Pakikisama”. Which sadly means going with the crowd… even if said crowd do really inane and stupid things.
And this within lies the problem. Because Filipinos have trained themselves to be incapable of independence and their society doesn’t favor independence, they really cannot think for themselves. They are sheep. Which ironically something the Catholic church wants out of its followers.
And the way I see it, the first step for true independence for Filipinos are proper education and being instilled by the right media… not the garbage on the TV screen they see alot.
Did you know real-life yellow cake is type of uranium which is radioactive? (And very bad for you, like Philippine media)
INC, Gangs, Frats, Bandit/Rebel, commie insurgency groups as well… Its all pakikisama!
It’s no longer a fight for independence from colonial powers. It’s a fight for independence from the forces of KABOBOAN like ABS-CBN and the Yellowtards..
I got confused, Kate. What colonial powers? Matagal nang ibinigay sa’tin ang kalayaan to run our own country and to compete with the world with what we have. Talo lang tayo sa globalization because we have weak government, we can’t deal with our own sustenance and problems without outside assistance (on food, oil, disaster assistance, jobs, military). So it’s just right that our enemy is our own people and our own government and our own selves. This colonial mentality only shows how uncompetitive and inferior most of us are in state of affairs we get into. This colonial mentality is also a way for Filipinos to escape the primitive offers of our own highly-educated people in media and government. The Filipinos can grasp more, can do more but are only presented with very limited and poor choices so where do they go, what would they choose? Paalis ng bansa to where they can unleash their full potential, adapt foreign innovation and educational system that’s better than what we have, be up to date to the latest discoveries, current styles and taste of the more advance country kundi patuloy tayong mapag-iiwanan. Some of us are lucky we know what will lead us to the ditch we can simply turn our back on it or fight it, others could only blindly follow. The blindness, the blind and the ones leading the blind is the enemy, these forces of KABOBOAN you mentioned.
Tolerance isn’t about not having beliefs. It’s about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.
The Evolution of “Kabobohan” in the Philippines, started with Cory Aquino. A Clueless, unaccomplished Housewife, who was put there by the U.S., as our President.
Then, followed by Erap Estrada, a college dropout, who was an Actor, who became a President.
We have now, Benigno BS Aquino III, who has not accomplish anything in his life. A mentally retarded, and suffering from Depression.
The YellowTard Media also contributed to the “Kabobohan” of the Filipinos. Wowoowee shows, Prize Winning Shows, Teleseryas, dumb movies, etc…plus they portrayed the Aquinos as Saints, Heroes and Martyrs…
Now, we have the brutally massacred 44 SAF; the MILF/ISIS/Al Queda, financed by Aquino with our tax payers money. They are also promoted by equally “Bobas”: Deles and Ferrer…who I believe have financial interests in every Deal they make…
It’s very simple. ASEAN free trade got started in 2015. Philippine sugar is no longer competitive. Therefore Hacienda Luisita will not longer be profitable. Aquino must have a deal with Malaysians which is why he is rushing the BBL to be passed before his term ends. http://opinion.inquirer.net/81121/asean-free-trade-looms-as-threat-to-sugar-industry
Our government made sure our sugar will not be competitive! Same with our rice! They killed our own agricultural industry for the sake of “importers” as foreign sugar and rice will be more profitable for them! In the province we dont even have proper irrigation system in our farms!
ARROGANCE OF POWER
is the reason why PNoy get dumber & dumber (Incompetent).
“Power makes leaders dumb. The more power you gain the dumber you get”.
The Danger of Incompetent & Arrogant Leaders are:
1. Incompetent & Arrogant Leaders create dumb organizations, poor planning, and failed missions.
2. Incompetence/Stupidity is contagious and can spread (viral).
3. Incompetence (Stupidity) can be fatal / kill people.
“Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.”
Ways to spot PNoy lacks competence & humility:
1. How do PNoy talk to his people?
“buhay pa naman kayo”
“hinde ako pumupunta sa libing ng hinde ko kilala.”
“wala sa schedule ang pagpunta ko sa arrival honor for Fallen44 PNP SAF”.
2. How do people talk about PNoy Presidency?
– Weak, Push over, Soft
– Incompetent, Stupid, Dumb
– Detached
– Uncaring, Insensitive
– Untalented
– Corrupt, Denial, Deceit
– Hypocrite
3. How do PNoy support others?
4. How do PNoy’s celebrate the accomplishments of others?
5. How much time do PNoy & Kris spend talking about themselve and legacy of parents?
6. How much time do PNoy spend calmly listening?
PNoy only listen to people when forced by world trending on Twitter (Social Media) #NasaanAngPangulo.
7. PNoy tolerate his people work behind the scenes? Despite of being suspended – PNP chief Purisima allegedly called the shots in SAF covert mission that led carnage in Maguindanao.

Why is this article so poorly written with lots of grammatical errors?
The author obviously used a different literally device in this particular article.
It’s what we call propaganda! For dumbing our masses! But dont worry it’s not only here it’s happening! If we have ABS-CBN they have FoxNews,CNN,ABC,CBS etc…
Try watching their news or better yet listen to Obama’s speeches like “American Exceptionalism” (I almost puked) and you have the average American Joe yell “USA”! The Elites made sure they make their masses dumb so they can be easily fooled!
“Kabobohan” is everywhere and not only in the Philippines my Dear
Loved this article…exactly my sentiments, spoken the way i would have. Thanks kate and i’m looking forward to read more of my thoughts through your pen (or keyboard). 😉
