FB Critics ... Too Unforgiving

The fact that Emilio Daez is 1 Million richer was not enough to contain some FB commenters that "Rainbow Rumble" was living proof that we have an educational crisis right now.

When Host Luis Manzano asked the group : "Ano ang palayaw ng bayaning si Jose Rizal?"

Emilio answered Miong and Grae answered Joe Joe. Both of them were just guessing and I know they were joking and were half-hearted when they gave their answers. But that doesn't mean that their selective memory loss is tantamount to a pressing educational crisis.

I studied the life of Rizal when we were in first-year college ... I remembered it was Pepe but my brain was almost bleeding ... or was it hemorrhaging before I recall it.

What happens now if I ask "Why is Pluto not considered a planet?" That doesn't mean that your inability to answer the question ... means there is an existing educational vacuum in science that needs Dep Ed to overhaul and reexamine its present academic structure.

In fairness to Emilio and Grae they may not have answered that no-sweat question ... think about it ... they have responded to harder questions in the same game show that you didn't know ... including their harsh critics who exaggeratedly concluded an urgent educational cataclysm needing emergency government intervention.

What was astonishing ... was when Luis asked the audience ... they readily answered Pepe (overly genius bunch huh) making the contestant look stupid.

I was flabbergasted to see that 100% of the studio audience knew Rizal by heart ... as they unabashedly chorused Pepe in unison ... and I found it unbelievable seeing the camera pan on their faces smiling as if saying: "Ako hindi man ako artista pero alam ko ang sagot.".

Emilio may have won 1 million pesos ... but the embarrassment he and Grae experienced from the show was not worth it. They were poked fun at... and the host even dropped to the floor laughing and said "Who is the author of El Filibusterismo ... Miong Miong. Sino ang author ng Noli Me Tangeri - Joe Joe) And everyone has a good laugh.

I know Luis means well, and he did not intend to ridicule anybody. He was doing it to go with the jolly Bardagulan ng show. And maybe the ratings.

Emilio was a good sport though being put in that position ... but Grae was serious maybe questioning himself "Nag-guest ba kami dito sa show para hiyain?"

Kulang at Sobra

Bakit ba maraming mga kabataan ngayon ang hindi nagsa-succeed? Bakit maraming suportado naman ng mga pamilya ... pinag-aral sa magaling at mamahaling na school ... bokya pa rin. Binibigyan sila ng freedom mag-decision sa sarili ... pero palaging "maling choices and pinipili? Was it because: 

Kulang sila sa tiyaga ... kaya walang nilaga.

Kulang sa sakripisyo ... kaya palaging may perwisyo.

Kulang sa determinasyon ... at kulang din sa imahinasyon.

Kulang pa sa ambition ... at kulang sa vision at mission.

Kulang sila sa pera natatanggap... pero bakit nalulong sa bisyo at sobra ang hanap

Kulang daw sila sa allowance ... wala ngang pera pero bakit sila sobrang high maintenance?

Sobra sa pagmamahal ... pero kulang sa pangaral

Sobra sa suporta ... pero kulang sila sa pagpahalaga sa kuarta.

Sobra sila ka-believe sa sarili ...  sobra din sa yabang ang ugali

Sobra sila kung magbabarkada ... tingin nila sobra pa sila sa pamilya.

Bakit kasi ang mga bata kung sila ay minamahal ay nagiging spoiled brat ... 

Akala siguro ... sagot sila ng tatay at nanay hanggang katapusan ng lahat!

Paano lumobo ang yaman ni Harry Roque?

Political Meme

Kung pelikula ang budget hearing sa senado ... sigurado patok na patok ito. Kita mo ... memes like this are starting to flood the internet waves. Hindi ba alarming ito?

So paano ba natin i-explain sa isang bata ... na sa murang edad ... maaga niyang natunan na namumulitika pala ang kanyang ina kung nagtatanong ito kung ano ang paggagastahan niya ng pera na hinihingi niya?

Ito ang suggestion ng isang netizen na sagot: "Nak, politics is also the management of resources, and because our resources are not unlimited ... then we have to manage them well,"

Hindi ba napakalalim at matalinhaga ang sagot na yan para sa isang bata?

Nice try though ... I appreciate that. Hindi man na-gets ng bata ang gusto sabihin ng nanay ... at least may effort na e-explain.

May mga adult na kung tatanongin kung saan niya gamitin ANG PERA NA KANYANG HINIHINGI ... ang iba ay naging combat-IVE ... some becomes defens-IVE ... and still others in some strange stroke of fate ay naging aggres-IVE ... sigurado ako na feeling entitled sila.

Whatever they want ... they get! Kung hindi mo mapagbigyan ... sa ganyang edad nagta-tantrum?

Be careful what we teach our children. Much more than what we show them on TV

More Intrigues

Inday seems she had never had enough of herself. Was she taunting somebody when she said that she intended to write another book?

“Abangan ninyo ang susunod kong isusulat na libro tungkol sa pagtataksil ng isang kaibigan,” she said.

(Wait for the next book that I will be writing about a friend’s betrayal.)

YouTubers are now having a field day guessing who betrayed who? And they are busy speculating about the identity of a friend.
