You know, every day na lang, they show on TV how dangerous, violent and poor the Philippines is - all the negative points of our country. It affects me a lot because all my students know that I'm Filipino. They asked me insulting questions with some of my silly answers such as:
Student: 'Is it true kidnapping in your country is very common?'
Me: I don't think so - I haven't been kidnapped. You're in danger if you're rich though. So, don't worry. (funny huh?)
Student: 'Is it true the traffic jam is notorious?
Me: Yep, because there are loads of vehicles running on the road, especially during rush hour. (Stupid answer - at least they've learned what vehicle and rush hour are)
Student: Is it true it's not safe to travel?
Me: It's always safe if you know where you're going. (another stupid answer)
Student: Why was your President smiling when he was being interviewed over the tragic incident?
Me: I haven't the foggiest idea. I guess he has a smiling face or probably he wasn't trained to be a good actor.
Student: Is it true you treat human lives rather valueless?
Me: That's not true.
And more mind-boggling questions (haynako)

Student: Why was your President smiling when he was being interviewed over the tragic incident?
ReplyDeleteMe: Because he has Down's syndrome...looks like he is always smiling.
or
Me: Because he has no idea what is going on...I think he is daydreaming.

ReplyDeleteYUMZ: No, whats common is oldnapping.
hay nako balen. d na ako masyado watch tv since aquino won and next pa c erap. ung pareho pang bulok at bobo ang nanguna sa bilangan. kc disspointed ako talaga. bobo presidente, bobo mga pulis, bobo mga sec ni bobo#1, bobo nanghostage. Sana kung marami lang maghirap o nagutom sa kabobohan nila,ok lang kc sanay na mga pinoy magutom at maghirap, ang problema dame pa nadedbol. foreigner pa. d na inisip katayuan ng mga overseas pinoy na maapektuahn sa kabobohan nila. ung bobong mendoza, nanghostage para demand na ireinstate sya at review kaso nya. for the sake of argument nabigay sa kanya un. pano pa sya magpupulis e mas grabe bago nyang kaso na hostage taking? ung dati nyang kaso, tanggal lang sya sa serbisyo e, ngaun d lang sya tanggal. bulok pa sya sa jail dahil sa gravity ng bago nyang kaso. dati robbery w/ extortion lang e. thats not a capital offence. hay grabe. bobo bobo bobo.
I can relate to mendoza's case e. parang ang history ng case nya ay nahuli sila sa prescribed period to file a Motion for REconsideration nang mapatunayan ng Ombudsman na guilty cla, 5 cla e. So pag d ka nakapagfile on time, its up to ur lawyer to reason out why. nakakarelate ako kc feel ko ang me pagkukulang ay ang lawyer ni Mendoza. Alam mo naman d2 sa PInas, dont know there in Taiwan, napakamahal ng mga bigating abugado. kung dambuhala kalaban mo pareho ng kalaban ko sa shop. big real estate company, tapos abugado ko baguhan at tamad, patay ka talaga. So dahil d ko maaafford big time lawyer, i have to content myself w/ this one. Parang ako na rin naglalawyer sa kaso namin e, lahat talga feed ko sa kanya. Name nya lang gamit namin e. saka lagi ko ung pinupukpok kung me hearing. cguro kaya umabot ng 1 year la kame water dahil sa mga lapse ng complaint namin. pero sa ngaun e medyo feel ko lumalaban naman kame. maski na they got all the finances, we have d truth naman kaya ung 2 na un nalang magbabalance. Feel ko talaga, ang at fault ay ang lawyer nya. dapat mga lawyer nila talaga napa follow up mo mismo para gumalaw. D naman cla kawawa pag natalo kaso mo e , kaw kawawa e, so dapat kaw mas masipag kesa sa lawyer. parang stalker na nga describe ko sa sarili ko e. lagi ko kc sya teks at tawag e, pag d nagreply sasabhin ko ppnta ko sa haws nya, ayun magrereply. minsan nagjoke sabi sa ken, "cge po, baka d ako makaattend ng makaattend," joke ko naman " cge po, kita tau sa IBP, kau naman kakasuhan ko ng abandonement>' hay nako, buti na ung alam nya, pag ako nakawawa, kawawa din sya. hehehehe
