Tirada Ni SlickMaster: PiliPinas Debates 2016 - Part 2

4/23/2016 9:16:19 PM

Interaksyon

Isang buwan rin ang pagitan ng mga ginaganap na presidential debate na inorganisa ng Commission of Elections (COMELEC), ano? Parang kailan lang, nasa Cagayan De Oro sila sa pagsisimula ng debate-seryeng ito. Samantalang parang kailan lang din ay nasa Cebu sila para sa ikalawang leg nito.

Sa darating na Linggo ng hapon, kung pagbabasehan ay ang oras ng aking pagsulat nito, ay gaganapin ang huling PiliPinas presidential debate sa Dagupan, Pangasinan.

Pero bago ang lahat, ano nga bang nangyari sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas sa Cebu?

PiliPinas Delayed!

Grabe ang inabot ng tao kahapon. Grabe ang init ng ulo nila. Ang pagkabadtrip; pagkadismaya; galit na bigla na lamang pumutok sa kani-kanilang mga account sa Twitter at Facebook. Ikaw ba naman eh, ang maghintay sa kawalan eh. Kala tuloy nila, may forever nga...sa paghihintay umere ang PiliPinas Debates.

Dahil sa isang matinding hindi pagkakaunawaan sa pagitan ng mga partidong sangkot, ito ay naantala nang mahigit nobenta minutos mula sa orihinal na nakatakdang oras. Ang pinakamainit na debate na nagsimula sana noong alas-5 ng hapon, ay halos 6:30 na ng gabi pormal nag-umpisa.

Why Sorry, Jimmy?

03-27-2012 | 04:06 PM

Papasadahan ko lang ito. Nag-alburoto na naman ang halos lahat ng netizens ng Pilipinas noong lumabas ang video ng isang nagngagalang Jimmy Sieczka. Ang ginawa lang naman ni Sieczka ay “20 things I dislike about the Philippines.” Isa sa dalawang bersyon niya ng mga feature na palbas ukol sa Pilipinas (ang isa naman ay 20 things I like about the Phiilippines.)At dahil nga umani ito ng sari-sari pero madalas ay negatibong remarks sa internet, halos i-kunsidera na ng isang konsehal ng Cebu City bilang “persona non grata.” Pero hindi nito itinuloy at sa halip, humingi ito ng paumanhin ang taong ni Sieczka via sa kanyang video sa Channelfix.

Bagamat marami ang tumuligsa sa taong ito, marami rin naman ang nakakaintindi. Marami nga naman ang dapat ayusin sa bansang ito. Hindi naman pwede sa lahat ng oras ay maganda lang ang nakikita natin. Kung may pangit dyan, ano? Magbubulag-bulagan tayo? E ba’t pa tayo nanonood ng mga balita kung ganun din naman e, marami rin naming negatibong pangyayayri dun?At ito pa, dapat nasa lugar ang ating “pride” bilang mga Filipino.
