FILIPINO'S IMMUNITY TO SHIT!

As no one has ever noticed, I didn’t right any new blogs for two days. The reason being is that I was contemplating…how lazy I was. But now I have a conclusion! I am only lazy for two days!! Bwahaha!

 

             *******************************************************************

        There are thousands of sins/stupidity/arrogance/evil actions those politicians do every day and every minute that I would ever know. But what do we do if something as almost as insignificant (what they want us to think of) as copying somebody else’s work? There are more actions that was done in secret that would shatter and devastate us if we ever know, but what do we do if and when we encounter something that we teach the younger generation not to do? Must we ignore a minor wrongdoing just because there are more ‘important’ things to consider? 

I guess I must share something that my Mama and most of the adults and teachers I have encountered told me when I do some ‘naughty’ things: ADMIT THAT YOU ARE WRONG, AND THEN ASK FOR AN APOLOGY. Yes, I am sharing this to you Senator Sotto and to his cohorts. And while you’re at it, maybe you could omit/skip the part where you are being bitter and arrogant that the one you plagiarize…no I guess I don’t need to be so light; When you ask for an apology for STEALING, Just say it! More than that, makes your apology a big bullshit! And no, there is a difference when you COPY something like one of you said about our constitution and our brand of Democracy and ideals and thoughts and JUST PLAIN STEALING! When you steal something, you NEVER ACKNOWLEGE and LIE about where you got that something. SORRY FOR BEING JUST A MOTHERFUCKING BLOGGER!!!

Tsk tsk…when you are caught red handed…any denials you make is futile.

There are a lot of things the Filipino people have to endure when dealing with our own government. But what do we do with it? Shouldn’t we, the Filipinos, do something about it?

One of my personal experiences is with the Bureau of Immigration at the NAIA 2. First let us lay down a Truth statement that cannot be argued: Freedom to Travel. Except for some exceptions to the Right to Travel like: 1) Unaccompanied minors, 2) A Hold Departure Order, 3) A Watch List Order, etc. and other stuff that must be provided by OFWs and Government Officials on official duty. In short, according to our constitution, it shall not be impaired except in the interest of security, public safety or public health. Ok, I won’t argue with that but here is my scenario: I have all the legal documents, passport, a round-trip ticket, an affidavit of support or invitation letter. Why did it take me at least 15 minutes to clear the immigration officer’s ridiculous questions?

“Do you have a job?” <- maybe a reasonable question. Some friends I have asked said that you must HAVE a job because the immigration officer might think that you are just applying for a job and not just a tourist. Well…the FUCK?! First, immigration officers are not MANGHUHULA (fortune-teller/a mind reader) to know that I would be looking for a job. And even though they might think that somebody is just going to find a job overseas directly, THAT SOMEBODY’S RIGHT IS GREATER THAN SOMEBODY’S OPINION. Live with it! Find better evidence than your CRYSTAL BALL.

I replied, “I am a blogger.” <-might not be a typical job, but it’s as real as being a journalist or a novelist. I am not just paid well. Or not at all. But I still put effort into it. Like a job. Except I am also my boss. And no money.

She then said, “Blogger? There is no money in that, right? How do you get money? It’s not a job” <- I raised my right eyebrow 2 cm higher. I was pissed off at that offending statement. I could have said if it wasn’t for my self-control or general pussyness, “Excuuuuse me?!” While bobbing my head side to side and showing my index finger, “I AM FUCKING RICH BITCH! I DON’T NEED “A” JOB!” I just went on to explain about advertisements and ad-sense thingy. What the fuck do they care how I get my money? Hello! They don’t work for Commission on Audit or BIR. 

Even if someone has to lie just to get out of “interrogation”, 100% of the time, those people who do find work abroad, they are the ones that helps the economy of the country rise through their remittances! And seriously speaking, for those FILIPINOS who manage to get a job directly would go to POEA stationed on that foreign country to be registered as OFW and not the other way around. Would you trouble yourself of being a victim of racketeering from agencies, or hanging to false hope while you could certainly do something better and faster if you do it yourself? Or being maltreated or being serviced so poorly by the lazy bunch from the Philippine Government who in reality could deliver a much better/faster service for the people who gives JUICE to the economy but presently having a mentality of being the MASTER of the SLAVE applicants, who goes to work and do the job on their own terms!

I am not belittling all, those people from POEA government who does their job well compared to some of their co-employees, who sympathize and share the burden of going back and forth from our country, or to those honest agencies who really do care about the workers they sent and not just to profit much. For you ideal citizens and public servants of our beloved COUNTRY, I SALUTE YOU!!

And now thinking about those Lazy Bunches…may I offer a suggestion? Get rid of the rotten tomatoes before it spreads to the good ones.

Now to give you people something to think about. Now that I am here in a foreign country where there are legal ways to get a job, to help my family and my country, would I go back to feel being freely shitted upon by those people who SHOULD BE helping ME get a job?

Please Don’t Forget To Be Happy! - and FUCK YOU for those who doesn't want me to (I don't knwo why but I'm so angry just remembering that experience!)

p.s. I would like to site my reference - My Brain (TM) (C) and the web site of Bureau of Immigration of the Philippines.
