My Personal Opinion

ABS - CBN 's Ang Probinsyano | It's all About the Ratings | Semi-Porn on Primetime ABS-CBN’s Ang Probinsyano has aired another episode that contains sexually suggestive material. It’s very disappointing that a network such as ABS, with a big production crew, cannot think of a more conservative way to create a scene.  The ratings of the show must be dipping and the entire crew is in desperate need of ratings. Or, the entire production crew of Ang Probinsyano has lost their moral value.  Ang Probinsyano’s time slot is after dinner time for most Filipino households. And in most families, after dinner, everyone will be gathered in front of the TV. Unlike the superstars of the show, most Filipinos are like mine. We have one small living area where the family gathers after dinner. And here’s the point of this article, ABS-CBN’s Ang Probinsyano airing episodes loaded with sexually suggestive material that should not be available to young children. Not everyone lives in a big house, wi

Smart City Dumaguete | The Vaccines Were not FREE Smart City Dumaguete It turns out, the vaccines from China were not free.  From an article published by Inquirer, it mentioned that a Chinese sub-contractor was set to work with Dumaguete’s grandest project, the Smart City.  I’m not against progress. But I have two sources of disappointments from our city officials.  First is they lack care for the environment. The massive land reclamation project will destroy marine life in the bays of Dumaguete. Though the city will receive financial profit from the project, it will also be sacrificing a heritage. It’s very clear in our experiences with the weather and the limiting supply of marine life that we need to protect what's left of our environment. Globally, there is a movement in investing more on greener projects for the future. And Dumaguete’s Smart City is disconnected with that vision.  Second, the Dumaguete has a lot of existing problems that need addressing first. One of which is

Photo is a Stock Image and is not the Project Perspective Ok. .so last week, the Facebook Page of Yes The Best Dumaguete posted a proposed city project that looked like a rendered drawing from a newly graduated Engineering student. The post was about a project of the City of Dumaguete to reclaim 174 hectares of the ocean that is dubbed to be as "Smart City" that will cost 25-Billion pesos. When I first read the post, I thought it was just a hypothetical project that will happen in the distant future. But apparently today, the heads of Silliman University circulated a public petition opposing the reclamation. Then I thought. .wow. .since the University issued a petition, this project is not hypothetical.  And there’s actually a plan that would cost the City’s natural resources. Now, here is my personal opinion about the project.  It's a painful reality that in the process of progress, nature gets sacrificed. But this idea to even materialize in the City today is just a hu

Dumaguete | The City of Gentle People has no Water? Dumaguete, you know the city right? I believe it has the best tag name, “The City of Gentle People”. And what I am going to share here concerns the people of Dumaguete. Let me share a story that received no immediate attention, and it might be something the government needs to talk about. The City is running out of water supply. I cannot remember when it started, but since the start of the lockdowns last March 2020, the City’s water district has failed to deliver a consistent and reliable flow of water to the houses of Dumaguete.  The water utility provider has announced several maintenance issues with its pipeline and pumps.  But is it really the root cause of the problem? Because it has been more than a year, and the very slow and close to no water from the faucet seems to be prevalent in most houses. If this is a mechanical issue, then the management is very poor at addressing the concerns of its consumers.  Such pumps and pipeline

3 Ways you CAN DO to Avoid Deep Fakes From Ruining the Philippine Election Before we jump into the topic of the weaponization of deep fakes in the coming Year 2022 Philippine elections, let me ask you a quick question. Are you a registered voter? If not, go out and register. I had a friend that was very strong in arguing with people during the last 2016 election. But when I asked him who he would vote for, he said he can’t because he is not a registered voter. But anyway, back to the article. Today we will talk about deep fakes. What it can do and its weaponization during elections. Social media and the internet helped dirty politicians and supporters spread fake news. The weaknesses of the internet algorithms enabled contractors to share fake articles.  Political parties and supporters fabricate fake news articles about one another. And it EXPLODED big time. Fake news is shared more than the real news itself.  So what does it have to do with deep fakes? Or, better yet, what are deep f

Pacquiao vs. Dueterte | The Punisher vs. The Headhunter If you’ve been following the news about politics in the Philippines, then I believe you know what I am talking about. It’s obvious now that the fighting senator is aiming for a larger political seat. And Pacquiao is acting like a boxer.  In boxing, fighters would release a statement calling out their challenger to increase ticket sales. Because normally, fans are more interested in the fight if there’s drama between two fighters. It's entertaining to watch their presale interviews.   Duterte is not a stranger to this type of tactic, and I believe that he knows what Pacquiao is trying to do. Pacman wants the people to start talking about him. In one of the interviews, Pacquiao released a statement that corruption is still seated in most areas of the government. Implying that the current administration is inadequate in its campaign to eradicate corruption.  And Duterte was quick to retaliate and used a very wise psychological re

Know me Lyrics of the Group 8 Ballin.  This is my personal opinion of 8 Ballin's lyrics of the song, Know Me . This song is viral, and I believe that as of writing the views are still going up on YouTube, and more content creators are creating their content about it on YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.  Download Know me Lyrics Here And in my personal opinion of the song Know Me, this song is just genius. Whoever thought about this deserves an “isang libong palakpakan" .  You might ask, what am I trying to talk about?  For the very obvious, what made you click and watch the video? For sure, it's not the looks of the artist or the meaning of the lyrics?  And YES!!! Let’s all feel sorry for our behavior, we watched the video because we thought the singer had some sort of condition with his speech.  We all clicked and shared the video because of how it was sung.  When the song blew up on Facebook and TikTok, like blew up big time, we all dived in because it was unique. We were al
