Science may hold the key to understanding why Filipinos distrust one another

If there is one thing that has long baffled observers of social norms and collective behaviour, it is the predisposition of Filipinos to clanishness and distrust for one another. This lack of trust and extreme insularness that seem to be roadblocks to large-scale cooperation and organisation are what could likely be signficiantly hindering progress at a national level. Even after more than a hundred years of a collective identity as a “Philippine nation” and more than half a century of independence, Filipinos are still known for a debilitating form of regionalism and, worse, small-scale tribalism that prevents the needed social cohesiveness and harmony to blossom at the national scales essential for broader national development.

Why is it that Filipinos are unable to mobilise at these larger scales and remain trapped in petty bickering between small tribal units and cliques?

One possible theory could have to do with the Philippines’ tropical climate. In tropical climates, disease spreads quickly. Because of this, tropical societies such as that of the Philippines’ may have evolved relatively more acute pathogen avoidance behaviours than socieites that developed in more temperate and colder regions more hostile to pathogens and the parasites that carry them. In the steaming rainforests where early Filipinos lived, on the other hand, tribal units that applied a more open and trusting stance towards strangers and outsiders may have put themselves at relatively increased risk of being decimated by diseases carried by these foreigners. Indeed, because disease-carrying organisms like mosquitoes and flies thrive in tropical climates and pathogens survive longer in the moist, humid, and warm environments of the tropics, it would have been more prudent for small bands and communities of people to avoid contact with outsiders and even keep their distance from neighbouring tribes and clans.

Thus, in all probability, a heightened propensity for disgust and distrust against outsiders may have spelt the difference between survival and extinction for many primitive tribes living across what were to collectively become the Philippine Islands. Given that such cultural traists will have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years, the depth to which they are embedded in the culture and social fabric of native Filipinos would have been enough to make these traits virtually impervious to any influence by the relatively short hundred-odd year periods over which native Filipinos were subject to rule by European colonial powers such as Spain and the United States. Indeed, it is quite evident that, to this day, these traits remain embedded in Philippine society and can be seen manifesting themselves in today’s politics and society even as they are now incompatible with the demands of modern nation-building.

Given the strong possibility that behaviours that foment disunity and distrust amongst Filipinos may be genetic in nature and, even if not so, so intimately-woven into the fabric of Philippine society, how then can Filipinos build the modern and gllobally-competitive nation they so aspire to see? That, indeed, is one of the hard questions Filipinos need to confront and address in order to chart a path that takes into account their unique circumstances and characters as a people. The alternative is to continue latching onto obsolete narratives or foreign ideologies that are incompatible with the realities of the Filipino condition. It is ultimately up to the Filipino people to decide how to go about stepping up to the challenge of prospering as a society despite these obstacles. It begins by recognising the inconvenient truths about their society and culture.

  1. For a culture that prides itself in being hospitable the common man in public places sure comes across as rude, selfish and inconsiderate. I see it in the streets and in places like the MRT. Cutting lines, the need to segregate by gender etc.

    Broadcasters either don’t respect the mental capacity of their audience or they have an accurate assessment of it and program mind numbing shows and content appropriately. Media is a reflection of the audience they want to attract and pinoy TV, movies and news are moronic. So the law of attraction works in our culture.

    Many pinoys do not compete because their sense of entitlement dulls whatever competitive juices they might have. When your opponent is obviously better than you just yell “puso!!!” Basta Pinoy Da Best as we all know,

    1. FILIPINOS ARE NOT WHAT THEY ARE BEING ADVERTISED !!! Science is required to study the brain of those advertisers:

      1. Filipinos are not smiling people, according to my Pinay GF! They smile at me. They are polite at me. They are courteous at me. BECAUSE I AM WHITE !!! Filipinos looked down on each other. They look down on my Pinay GF because she got hooked with me. They asked me what STRIP CLUB I GOT HER FROM. She is brown like Filipino. Skinny like Filipino. Disgruntled English like Filipino. SORRY, THEY ARE JUST JEALOUS. They need science to take a look at their brains.
      2. IT IS NOT FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES. All I see are miseries. All I read are corruptions. All I hear about political in-fighting. NOT FUN AT ALL !!! Well, beach resorts are inexpensive. Beach side huts can be had at $50/night!

      The Filipino advertisers sell Fake Advertisement Philippines are not. THERE ARE VERY FEW FOOD VLOGGERS. I like NUMUTV in Youtube. The best Filipino Food Vlog. The rest of the Vloggers get 1 million subscribers because they are half-bred half-white hybrid Filipinos that stand on their head and monkey around to garner attention. ALL THEIR VLOG IS ALL ABOUT THEMSELVES. And they get 1 million subscribers. And those subscribers are FILIPINOS. Filipinos wanted to be like them unfortunately they are not white.

    2. @Gogs: Europeans (at least after their Dark Ages) seem to be predisposed to exploration and discovery and managed to colonise almost every corner of the planet.

      Filipinos, on the other hand, seem to lack a basic curiosity for stuff that may lie even just beyond their backyard.

      1. They know enough that one of us was lucky enough to yaya a guy who one day would beat an aging Michael Phelps. Don’t forget that. Let’s see Germany top that !

      2. You find me agreeing on that one. Ask a Pilipino what minerals composes the rocks and stones, and pebbles on the ground their standing on, and they don’t know anything, but ask a foreign guy and he will tell right away, there might be gold underneath. And this has been the sorry story of the Pilipinos, foreigners knows more about the land than the local natives that lives there.

        1. ASK A FILIPINO THE SCHEDULE OF THE FILIPINO CHANNELS DOWDY ARTLESS SHOWS they can tell you from the top of their head …

        2. @sarda

          Maybe because they weren’t exposed to it? Blame the catholic church for our shit education system

      3. @benign0

        Filipinos are not “afraid” to explore and discover. This can be seen in the legions of OFW in foreign lands. In fact, negritos (one of the earliest ancestors of Filipinos) are theorized to have traveled along the coasts of Africa to India to Southeast Asia. The average American living in the heartland is waaaay less traveled than a Filipino OFW.

        Maybe if you stop SUCKING white boi COCK for just a minute and do some ACTUAL GODDAMN RESEARCH for your articles you would know that.

        But no. Youre all “Deeerrrp derp derppp, brown skin bad” my head is in my ass and spewing my BIASED talking points.

        FAIL!

        1. This comment alone is already a fail since it’s not only biased on your part but it’s all AD HOMINEM.

          Try again, trollfag.

  2. “Why is it that Filipinos are unable to mobilize at these larger scales and remain trapped in petty bickering between small tribal units and cliques?”

    Forget about humility, this is a battle of arrogance.

    1. Filipinos bicker and fight even as mundane as POLITICS !!! They are all SCIENTISTS !!! Yes, POLITICAL SCIENTISTS … and their religion? SCIENTOLOGY ….

      Filipinos think they are brilliant and intelligent because they can argue Politics. Politics is old man’s entertainment.

    2. @sarda

      It’s pretty hard for pinoys to come to consensus on anything because the way pinoys argue is not OBJECTIVE. It all boils down to tribalism (which clique you belong to, “us” vs “them”, “yellows” vs “duterte” etc.). Then since there is no DATA, no facts and just opinions it inevitably dissolves into hyper emotionalism.

      Take for example, my issues with benign0. As the author who writes incredibly harsh articles he has the responsibility to back up his claims with data. I don’t think that is an unreasonable request. Instead I’ve been accused of being “yellow” and “lazy” for not looking for the data for benign0’s claims.

      Is not more lazy to just accept benigno’s claims at face value. Even if I use my own logic, then whether or not I believe benign0 is tainted with my personal bias. Therefore the arguments is no longer a search for TRUTH.

      Now I could have taken the high road and obtained the data to debunk benigno BUT I am not an author. I dont have a blog or an agenda. That is why there is such a thing as journalistic standards and libel/slander laws (something bloggers dont bother to comply with).

      Instead it is waaaay easier to call out benign0 for what he is… a PAID MARCOS HACK! Do I have proof of this?! No, off course not. But logically it makes sense. And according to benign0, I dont need proof. You benign0 have to prove you’re not a paid hack.

      [This message isn’t really for you though. But the folks lurking. You must be wise…]

  3. Tribalism will always be with us. Along with the “superiority complex” of some Filipinos. The Spanish colonizers imparted to us, the : “divide and conquer” strategy, so that they remained in power for more than 300 years.

    Our political situation also manifests this tribalism mindset. We have many political parties, with agendas for self enrichment only, when they are in power. Politicians use the dirtiest tricks, necessary to win elections, and to be in power. We have families ruling us, as political dynasties. These family political dynasties are embedded fully in our political structures.

    I cannot see any unity of Filipinos, even a century from now. Unless people will change their mindsets, and drive away these political family dynasties !

    1. SPANISH COLONIZERS ARE GOOD PEOPLE. Please stop blaming them. Just look at the last remaining Spanish Colonizers-turned-industrialists. They can pass-on their wealth to generations after generations … FILIPINOS CAN NEVER PASS-ON THEIR SARI-SARI STORE TO THEIR NEXT GENERATION.

      Last Remaining Spanish Colonizers employ brown-skin Filipinos. Give them benefits gazillion time better than Filipinos to their househelp. Filipinos treat their househelp like houseslaves. If they get bored they have their houseslaves stand against the wall and throw slippers at them. There was one slave master after returning from Sunday Mass they hold 15-year-old houseslave and place hot flat iron on her face !!!

      Spanish Colonizers were not able to colonize the brains of the Filipinos. In fact, the Filipinos, with the help U.P. historians, DEMONIZES COLONIAL MENTALITY. COLONIAL MENTALITY IS GOOD.

      If COLONIAL MENTALITY is the source of FILIPINO CORRUPTION why is it that there are NO NEWS OF SPANISH CORRUPTION ????

      NO NEWS OF CORRUPTION MEANS THEY ARE GOOD SPANISH COLONIZERS. My Pinay GF told me her parents hit her with the belt because that was the Spanish Colonizers did to Filipinos. DESPITE THE USE OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT FILIPINOS HEADS ARE HARD AS COCONUT THAT THEY STILL CANNOT LEARN.

      1. Another HYPEREMOTIONAL post coming from you, Dilawang Mortis.

        It’s nothing more than pure ad hominem and then you’re asking for “proof” and you still insists on your immature beliefa that blogging and journalism are the same thing and fact=opinion; it’s not just childish and immature but plain, lazy thinking mixing up with your flawed logic.

        That’s why no one wants to take you seriously. I mean, seriously, it’s all noise and no substance. It’s only a matter of time where your comments will get deleted due to spam.

  4. I always look at top driving forces of Filipino society: Television stations. Pimping Filipino people to get it on with hardship, impoverishment, starring pitiful protagonists, bickering characters, repetitive unintelligible dialogues and narrow plots – for almost a century now while never turning to open up serious issues like reelection of ineffective politicians, overpopulation, pollution, regionalism, anti-intellectualism and many more.

    1. Just lookit ‘Toopid Filipino Channels … All their talent shows is about iyak-iyakan … awa-awa-an … they plead before the public of their putrid condition so they can win the musicals … These hosts of TFC wouldn’t even broadcast these channels in their household because IT IS DOWDY !!! ARTLESS !!! CANNOT IMPART INFORMATION nor EDUCATION !!!

      HOME GROWN FILIPINO SHOWS is a show of Filipino IQs. The audience have distitute distressed looks. The audience of FILIPINO SHOWS derive their happiness thru the miseries of the singing contestants. Then the iyak-iyakan … the awa-awa-an …. (My Pinay GF cannot explain to me in a way I can understand but she told me to use it because it can connect better to Filipinos than my English)

  5. WEATHER and GEOGRAPHY has to do who are destitute, deprived, oppressed and naturally poor.

    Take out a Globe. Lookit. Where is America and Europe and white people located? Of course, way above the equator. Where is Philippines located in the Globe? What about those strings of poor countries located? Of course, in the Equator.

    Who likely colonize poor countries? The White countries colonize poor countries. NO, WE DO NOT COLONIZE POOR COUNTRIES. Poor countries allowed us to colonize them.

    Hard to understand? Of course, Filipinos are employed. Think of employees as poor countries. These employees work for the Employer. AND THAT IS HOW THE WORLD OPERATES. Employees are colonized. Employers are colonizers. Employers tell Employees what to do when to take a break and when to stand against the wall and get slippers thrown at them.

    THE WORLD IS UNFAIR. LIFE IS NOT FAIR. There are always poor and rich. The poor work for the rich. Why would rich disperse their wealth to poor people. The incentive of getting rich is gone if that is the case. Even if there is no more incentive to be wealthy the intelligent will still rule. Unfortunately, Filipinos have very little intelligence. So, the only incentives for Filipinos is to scream WE’VE BEEN COLONIZE THAT IS WHY WE ARE WHAT WE ARE !!!!!

    1. NORTHERN countries are always rich …
      SOUTHERN countries are somewhat poor …
      THOSE IN THE EQUATOR … they are just doomed to perdition … ALL I CAN ADVISE THEM is enjoy the suffering … until they get used to it.

      It is like HAPPINESS. Happiness come and go in fleeting moment. HAPPINESS is like a drug. They seek it. They want more of it. The more they want the more it is beyond their grasp. LIKE DRUGS.

    2. Since Philippines is in the equator. And their geography holds the key to their success. I suggest DO NOT FIGHT DESTINY. Philippines will always be poor, UNTIL such time when the earth tilts and Philippines would be above the Equatorial poorness and America will become poor when it is moved to the Equator.

      1. Well imagine if the Ice Age still exist today & our country have a sub-tropical climate just like in Europe, East Asia & North America, will our country become rich & industrialized? But what about the Filipino people if the Ice Age still exist today & our country will have an annual snow fall, will the Filipinos become more disciplined & united or we could see even a worst case scenario that the Filipinos are becoming more barbaric, arrogant & divided?

        In fact this youtube video might get an answer to the questions that I asked & I don’t know if that’ll apply it: https://youtu.be/1bz5Wn6G1qA

    3. I remember an article here that linked the weather conditions to the adaptability of man.
      Those from countries with 4 seasons are more developed because, in the past, they had to deal with winter. Food scarcity, keeping warm, the fight to survive, all these pushed scientific advancements with people formulating long-term solutions to stay alive through the winter months. This ultimately led to the industrial revolution.
      Whereas in the tropics where food was available all year round and you could easily rebuild your nipa hut after a storm because resources were abundant, people became content and lazy. Take a look at india. All those natural resources and manpower yet succumbed to the small yet mighty British empire thanks to the latter’s well-equipped military. Same case with the aztecs. The middle east wouldve remained poor if it wasnt for the oil and natural gas.

      1. The name that comes to mind in Montesquieu. He’s the guy credited with coming up with separation of powers, and also theorized that climate affects culture and society.

      2. “Those from countries with 4 seasons are more developed because, in the past, they had to deal with winter.” – MR. T.

        Filipinos have 4 seasons, too !!! NATIONAL ELECTION, LOCAL ELECTIONS, PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS, SENATORIAL ELECTIONS, and many other elections ….

  6. All I can think of is that entire Filipino country/nation is interacting with each other based on fear (for the unknown). It is in the religion and it is in the laws and constitution. There are hardly any choices to chose from. Hence, there is no freedom. Ergo, only fear rules. And fear results in distrust.

    1. Since human is believe to be created in the image of God it is only fitting that human also emulate God and that emulation include also that very distinct character of God and that is jealousy and this is just what Pilipinos are doing and that’s why there is jealousy and distrust.

      1. You are saying “God is a Jealous God” and that is where Filipinos jealousy coming from?

        Let us not bring God to Filipino squabbles. God has nothing to do with Filipinos inherent inutileness.

    2. @Robert Haighton

      If no freedom is a problem. Somehow benign0 thinks that MARTIAL LAW and military rule is a good solution. Somehow a “benelovent dictator” will rise to the sky like jesus and all the distrust in Philippine society will disappear and we will all go KUMBAYA!

      Most likely martial law will bring a whole host of ABUSES and disappearances. Government ca not be trusted and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

      Benign0 as a PAID HACK of the marcoses would like you to believe otherwise

        Benign0 as a PAID HACK of the marcoses would like you to believe otherwise

        And too much freedom IS a problem. Somehow you love to make ASSumptions about the author and you never even heard of Singapore either.

        Oh yeah, you’re delusional if you think abuses and disappearances are gone AFTER 1986. They still exist, under the guise of ‘democracy’.

        Dilawan Mortis as a PAID HACK of the Aquino-Cojunagco political axis would like you to believe otherwise. News flash: the Marcoses are only peanuts compared to them.

        1. @D46

          You dummies keep holding up Singapore as an example. A country of 5million people. Metro Manila has 2x the population. And the Philippines has 20x the population (and a much bigger land size).

          LEARN BASIC MATH BOL!

        2. You dummies keep holding up Singapore as an example. A country of 5million people. Metro Manila has 2x the population. And the Philippines has 20x the population (and a much bigger land size).

          LEARN BASIC MATH BOL!

          Nice strawman. One of the reasons why China became a rising economic power in Asia… is because they learned from Singapore. And that leader who made that happen during that time is Deng Xiaoping.

          That’s some defeatist notion right there. Typical Pinoy excuse.

        3. So Darth Mortis if we halved the population of Metro Manila then we will automatically become as organized and orderly as Singapore?? Admit it. We are in chaos partly because of 12 years of incompetent Aquino management. Noynoy can’t even organize his closet to come out of it.

  7. “Competing” to survive implies shortage and lack of generativity… and such an environment breeds distrust. And as what one comment here said, the general corp. media feeds garbage to people.

  8. Science is like the “forbidden fruit” in GENESIS, Pilipinos should not eat it or they will develop knowledge that’s going to free them from dependency to God. Pilipinos must make themselves content at the “paradise” God gave them.

    1. @Sarda:

      Science and Technology are very important in the progress of a nation , and the advancement of our civilization. Look at the countries that embraced Science and Technology; they are the First World countries , in our civilization. China and India, are embracing Science and Technology; this is the reason they are progressing.

      Much as I do not want, our dependence too much on religion is making us not to progress much, I believe in the saying : ” God helps those who help themselves”.

      Maybe, Vladimir Lenin is right when he stated: ‘Religion is the Opium of the people”…I hope I am wrong. I have nothing against those who promote religions…it is just my opinion !

      1. Transfer of Technology works well with China. Since it works too well they now accused China of stealing technology.

        With all Export Processing Zones sprouting in the Philippines no Technology Transfer ever happened. Why?

        North Korea is better. They are able to produce nuclear bomb and delivery systems. This means North Koreans can be educated.

      2. @333Hyden007Toro909098

        North korea has an advanced science program. Given that they are isolated yet still able to build FREAKIN NUKES!

        Yet NK is poor. Under the grip of a DEAR LEADER. People are suffering while that fat pig stuffs himself.

        Same thing will happen to the Philippines. No amount of science advancements will replace FREEDOM. Say no to MARTIAL LAW.

        Too bad benign0 and his myth of ‘benevolent’ dictatorship is attempting to brainwash everyone. DONT FALL FOR IT

          Too bad benign0 and his myth of ‘benevolent’ dictatorship is attempting to brainwash everyone. DONT FALL FOR IT

          And? The free nations have their own science programs and look what had got into them: lots of progress and innovation.

          North Korea is a poor example. You constantly forgot that it was a full-blown Communist country while China itself had an open economy. And they have become one of the fastest-rising economies in the world that even Trump went a tariff war against them. You love to overrate nukes but nuclear energy would help us in the long run if not for Cory and her stupidity.

          So pursuing science and technology would make us like North Korea or something? This is absurd and ridiculous. People like you are the reason why the Philippines remains a third world country. That’s some leftist thinking right there.

          Too bad you’re lying to yourself. In fact, you’re already brainwashed by the Yellow Mainstream Media and you want to continue to brainwash everyone with the Yellow Narrative because what you wanted is a government whored by media that keeps on telling you ‘everything is ok’ and never look forward for progress as society and a nation but to be part of a mediocrity.

          Too bad nobody is falling for your emotional outbursts and lazy thinking, kid.

      3. Pilipinos do not need to learn science and technology, maybe just for the few, but not all. You see rich countries needs maids and other domestic helpers, these are the roles naturally created for the Pilipinos because they are good at it. If “Religion is the opium of the people” then why not just let it be, if it’s making people feel better, calmer, peaceful, non-complaining, nothing wrong with that.

  9. A science article without any actual science. Kinda ironic. Are there any studies proving your point benign0? Any data?

    This article is as valid as the “science” articles that claim the EARTH IS FLAT! Just random hodge-podge opinions pulled FROM YOUR ASS

    Maybe filipinos are distrusting because we all descended from bathala who stole the mango from the golden tree?!

    FAIL benign0. So sad.

    1. Another nonsensical shitpost promoting lazy thinking.

      Asking for data makes you lazy when you can try AND look at it yourself. So everything you’ve said have pulled from your ass.

      FAIL Dilawan Mortis. Sad. So sad.

      1. @Darth Mortis the wise, D4C:

        Anyway, you are the same troll employed by the Aquino Cojuangco political axis. One troll with different names. Maybe your patron is paying you twice the amount…

        North Korean nuclear capability, and nuclear weapons designs, with its rocket deliverance capability did not come from North Korea itself. It came from the former Soviet Union, when the Soviet Union disintegrated. Some corrupt Soviet Union officials, sold the bomb and rocket designs to North Korean agents.

        What freedom are you talking about ? Pres. Duterte did not take your freedom away. You are free to write your stupid blogs in this website. You are free to misinform everybody who reads your blogs , full of nonsense. I have not seen anyone arrested or jailed because, they disagreed with the Duterte administration.

        I think , you are just hallucinating, because you cannot stop me from blogging …you are very afraid that your patron will fire you !

        1. Dilaw Mortis is just paranoid. He just love scaremongering with the Yellow Mainstream Media as his only sole source. He can’t even recognize his own stupidity, though.

        2. @56Hyden007Toro676765.65

          I didnt even know you have a blog. LOL. So INCONSEQUENTIAL. Like a mosquito. No one gives a sh!t about your dumb opinions.

          You talk about press freedom. What about RAPPLER! It’s an unprecedented assualt on a news organization. Just coz your a PAID HACK of the Marcoses doesn’t mean, press freedom isnt being assaulted.

          You just want to replace REPUTABLE journalists with porn stars like Mocha Unson. Whose “news” is as fake as her TITS!

        3. I didnt even know you have a blog. LOL. So INCONSEQUENTIAL. Like a mosquito. No one gives a sh!t about your dumb opinions.

          There is no such thing as “dumb” opinion. Only PEOPLE are.

          And you fall from Rappler’s seditious BS? That’s so foolish of you. They called it an “attack on press freedom” when the SEC filed a case against them for breaking rules. Just because you’re a YELLOW TROLL doesn’t mean all press freedom belongs to the Yellows. Is that right? Look at the Louie Beltran. He was jailed by none other than Cory herself.

          Oh yeah, as if PRESStitutes like Pia Ranada, Maria Ressa, Conrado de Quiros, Karen Davilla, Kara David, Raissa Robles, Korina Sanchez, Florin Hilbay and Jover Laurio are reputable. You never heard people like Bobit Avila, Alex Magno, Francisco Tatad, Bobi Tiglao, Jojo Robles, and Teddy Locsin, Jr. And your hate obsession of Mocha Uson makes you desperate because you have this flawed logic that entertainer = porn star. So you’re saying that those who worked on the entertainment industry are porn stars??? And her interviews with the Lumad tribes are “fake” like the leftist UP activists claim?

          That’s the problem with people like you. You wanted ‘facts’ but you always come up with one-sided and questionable sources, most of them are made up from you and always thoroughly inconsistent. Try to reply back and you’re proving my point.

      2. @D4C

        Why is it lazy to ask for sources?!?! You mean its less lazy to just automatically believe the BS that benign0 writes?!! You are an example of a DUMB filipino who is anti-science. You would believe everything as long as written on the FAKE TITS of mocha unson

        1. @Darth Mortis, the (wise) /fool:

          You claim, I don’t have a blog …Why are you writing about me ? I am inconsequential to you; but I am attacked by you in your blogs…that means to say, you are reading my blogs, and is very much interested in stopping me.

          Rappler is the paid media of the Aquino Cojuangco political axis. Maria Reesa, the Rappler , founder came from ABS CBN, the propaganda machine of the Aquinos. I am not a paid hack of anybody. I earn enough U.S. dollars in the U.S. , for myself and for my family. They cannot afford me, if I am a paid hack…

          Web blogging is very much different from journalism…because of your thick skull , your understanding cannot penetrate your mind to know : that Web blogging is not journalism.

          I don’t care about Mocha Unson. You are fascinated with her , and her tits ? You can ask her for a date, if you want …see , if she is interested in you !

        2. You would believe everything as long as written on the FAKE TITS of mocha unson

          Your hate obsession of Mocha makes you go on an insane, tililing rampage. And yes, it’s thoroughly lazy to ask for sources because it’s just as the same as spoonfeeding. As if things like reading and research are foreign things for you.

          And because of your blind hate and rage that you want people like Alex Magno, Bobit Avila, Francisco Tatad, Jojo Robles, Teddy Locsin, Jr., and Bobi Tiglao are as the same level as Mocha. Even blogger Sass Rogando Sasot also wrote for the Manila Times.

          Come to think of it, you didn’t even mention that Mocha works for ABS-CBN when they made an article of Nestle leaving the country due to the inflation issue yet when it was taken down hours later when Nestle Philippines made an official statement. Care to answer that?

          News flash: next reply from Dilawan Mortis –

          “You would believe everything as long as written on the FAKE ASS NEWS from Manila Times”

          There you go.

    2. I can sense this old man was deprived of his childhood. No food. No schooling. A lot of ignorant parent’s corporal punishments MOST OF ALL NO ONE TO LOVE HIM AND NO GIRLFRIENDS. Never had satisfying sex. And the closest sex DM-the-Wise have had was with a prostitute even the prostitute did not want to have open-mouth french kiss with him because of incurable bad breath.

      1. (Lookit, my Pinay GF did this post not mine. Her comment is toxic and corrosive that put down a Filipino to his place. She said majority of Filipinos have a very bad case of halotisis that is why she prefers white men than brown Filipinos. She pointed out that when Filipinos speaks they keep their distance enough their breath cannot be sniffed. And when they speak closer they cover their mouth to cover their bad breaths)

        I am not this bad person. But, remember my Pinay GF is a Filipino who knows every thing bad about Filipinos. Hope you understand, Darth. BETWEEN YOU AND ME, DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND? IS IT TRUE YOU DID NOT EVER HAVE HAD SATISFYING SEX? AND THE ONLY SEX YOU HAVE HAD WAS IT A PROSTITUTE NOT WITH A FRIEND-WITH-BENEFITS?

        I feel for you, Darth, maybe I can help you … No! No! No! my Pinay GF can help you …

        1. @Oratio Imperata

          Your MOM says “hi”

          Hope you get STDs from your PILIPINO tranny. You FAKER “white boi”.

        2. Oh, Darth, I feel for you. I can sense you have a deprived childhood. Do not blame those that comments here blame your parents.

          STD? No! My tongue is sure she doesn’t have STD. Been eating her for over six months including her butt and she likes it. Have you ever tried butthole?

  10. NAKED YOUNG COUPLE HAVING SEX while driving … in Cagayan de Oro City … They are charged for creating scandal ! HUH? Really? In that case all Filipinos having their partner doing blow job while driving should also be charged as scandalous … and those pregnant women should also be charged for scandalous act because they got pregnant !!!

    I SO LOVE PHILIPPINES … THEY ARE SO RIDICULOUSLY SCANDALOUS PEOPLE FOR HAVING 110,000,000 FILIPINOS !!! Of course, to breed Filipinos they have to have sex. Having sex in the confine of their homes, in the car, in beach side cottages in the park wherever is scandalous. SEX CANNOT ONLY BE HAD IN HOTELS, HOUSE AND CAR BUT EVERYWHERE ….

    Remember after thousands of deaths in Yolanda … after the storm 12,000 replacement babies were delivered in Leyte’s maternity. NOW, THAT IS SCANDALOUS.

    Can’t these peeps ever use their brains?

    1. According to this news article he is “Hawaiian-born singer”. FILIPINOS SHOULD PROTEST … he is a FILIPINO !!! NOT HAWAIIAN nor AMERICAN …
