Or maybe the fact that he just rejected some homosexual Davaoenos from designing dresses for Miss Universe.
1) He doesn't even take note of the fact that homosexuals are generally better in style than heterosexuals. Have you seen the way they cut hair? Lol. If you want practicality, choose homosexuality..
2) Showcase your Bisayan culture, bruh.

> plans for ASEAN
> DU30 shunning homosexuals

No I was just bringing up the Miss Universe topic, not commenting on ASEAN. I'm surprising he isn't willing to showcase Bisayan culture which has been shunned off by the imperialist Tagalogs the people of Luzon.

[Theodosiya]

Scuse me guys. Dis one come from your southern neighbor. Any plan or stuff regarding ASEAN? Or bilateral talks?

Afaik, there aren't any big events involving them yet beyond the 2017 Summit. So maybe we'll have to continue to wait.

Anyways, here's a question for everybody: will you cross the Philippines off of your destination itineraries just because Duterte's sitting in office? Feel free to answer in your own way (though not in the inciting kind of way).

No, because i don't even have the money to go abroad, hadn't visited many places in my own country and i don't really know Philippines tourist magnets.

[Storica]

Duterte is one of the great meme machines of the modern age.

[Pasong Tirad]

"He will slay me, I shall not hope!"

if you aren't a drug dealer what's the problem

The problem is this kind of mentality.

Duterte is one of the great meme machines of the modern age.

So is Donald Trump, and prominent populist figures

Well it isn't really his job to plan Miss Universe down to the bikinis, lol (though knowing him he'd probably be happy to do just that).

Too bad, should've let the Mayor do it (wear the bikinis) first..

So we shouldn't have to worry about ourselves being in line with the law, instead we should worry over the fate of the criminals?

Just because I'm a Dutertard doesn't mean I'll fawn over his flabby stomach draping over his crotch. Geez.

So we should just worry about ourselves and ignore the fact that dozens of people are dying every day?

People. not criminals, not innocents. People. That's why due process is important af.

Now, since everyone is going everywhere with different topic without a consistent direction, let's start with Political Dynasties.

What are your views towards the existing political clans in DuterteLand?

Depends on which dynasty we're gonna focus on. Let's go over the main ones, shall we?

Marcoses? Eh, they're pretty much disgraced for eternity due to FM. Aquinos? Proved rather incompetent in solving the shit Marcos left, though admittedly PNoy is more competent than his own mother. Macapagals? I'll say this: Diosdado's a saint, Gloria's a sneaky little smart-ass. Estradas and Ejercitos? Can surprisingly balance out acting and politicking, doesn't make them good though knowing how Erap, JV, and the others are controversial.

The Marcos dynasty is indeed disgraced forever after the actions of FEM. What's worse, his descendants are the equivalent of Holocaust deniers in Germany-- Non-yellow sources have already shown that FEM has indeed done corrupt acts during Martial Law, usually through his Rolex 12.

The Aquinos are pretty much a lesser evil, but they can also be proof that history is written by the victors. No one talks about the Hacienda Luisita massacres, clearly because most of the populace is already bathed in the propaganda that all Aquinos are heroes. Maybe Ninoy was indeed a hero, but where was Cory when EDSA 1 occurred? Noynoy has some decent economic savvy, but revering him because he is the son of Ninoy is like criticising Sandro Marcos just because of his grandfather.

(Infocom voice)But wait, theeeeere's moooore!

The country is literally littered with political dynasties. It's going to be a long and difficult process if there ever is an attempt to try and control and/or dismantle the "family businesses."

Take, for example, the Senate, which has a little over half of those serving (or probably more) who are part of political dynasties. And even then, how would we even go about with an Anti-Political Dynasty Law?

Hmmm, I'm all for keeping things a little bit more dynamic, but many politicians would probably be against the idea simply because they're already part of a dynasty, are confused over what defines a "political dynasty", or just fearful it'll not solve the corruption problem. Plus, there's the fact that their key supporters see political dynasties as a sign of stability of things staying the way they are, and the politicians know if they don't please those key supporters a rival can sweep in and all (which can actually happen quickly in this country if the family is not careful).

Ask my dad saying wasn't there a dynasty bill already. Said that Pnoy wasn't competent enough to do so.

I wanted to be the next dictstor president of the Philippines(maybe it's forever going to be a dream now)but i can't even follow up with our politics.

I should warn you in advance. Know the rules of the game or you'll lose miserably.

Well at least the American election was exciting.

Compare it to us we have a happy-go-lucky liberal,a no-chance step daughther of every fathers iconic local superstar,a corrupt arrogant asshole and a dead woman.

1) Exist as a Filipino citizen outside of any blood from a political family. Attain a good education, and after that start off a business when you are an adult.
2) Profit hugely, and show to the general Filipino populace that you have a philantropic attitude. Marry some cute TV star.
3) For some reason, pursue politics. Ask your family not to talk about political discussion much, so that a possibility of a political dynasty would be 0%.
4) Work with the system, run for President, and with endorsements from your chosen allies, you win the election. Set up a Constitution that "aims for the general advancement of Filipinos as one society", as stated in your first SONA. This Constitution allows you to give out Executive Laws without the consent of the Senate, though, but its buried so deep in fine print that the apolitic Filipino populace didn't notice it.
5) Set up an anti-corruption sentiment, and after some time when the Filipino people are literally CRYING for you to abolish political dynasties, start your endgame by ordering the arrest of all figures of political dynasties. Gentlemen, this is what we call a populist dictatorship.

well of course i was kidding.. Who would think that far?
