… that we can see if we look at it in the “bigger picture”.
It’s a host. It’s a throng. Of problems. Problems in our country that needs more attention than the Hayden Kho – Katrina Halili Scandal and the US television scriptwiters’ view of our country.
A comment on my last post said that we should look at the “bigger picture” on the Revilla outrage for Alec Baldwin’s comment (which, really is an unfunny joke- but still a joke at that): we should support our senators who are doing something, at least.
Well, here’s a list of what they SHOULD be doing, for real:
1. Too much literate people.
We have a lot of intelligent people in the Philippines, it’s bordering on the insane. Next thing we know, were too intelligent and too smart to procreate, like South Korea. We are too learned in fact, that kids from the mountainmost barrios of Leyte are spontaneously combusting- they are being blinded with Science.
We need to put tax on incoming foreign books because dangit, people’s brains are just exploding all over the place.
2. A shitload of jobs with no one to do them.
Oh we are just overflowing with work here in the country. We have too much employment here in fact, that most of us go OUT of the country to work. We need the challenge. We need the challenge to not see our loved ones for years. It’s Survivor Philippines MaxMegaUltima. It makes us tough. The Senate needs to address this. Let us approve the visas of those Ompa-Loompas so they can work here.
3. There is a shortage of CallCenter and OFW openings.
It is pretty scary to think that the best and brightest of us will miss on the chance to work on a callcenter or be a maid in somebody’s attic. Its devastating. Where will they learn their cool, neutral accents? How will they form their Inter-Riyadh Pinay Association?
4. Absence of hunger
There is no hunger in the Philippines. Let us find hunger! Man a search party! Hunger, where are you? Let’s use Wowowee to look for hunger. Then show our talent.
5. No impoverished people
There is a lurking danger in our society. What will be the subjects of our Cannes entries? Who will be our opponents in Wowowee?
6. Environment
The way I see it, nobody is doing anything about our environment. There is still too much foliage in our country. We are an archipelago, menaing we are surrounded by beaches, yet for some reason, we have not bastardized and fucked them enough.
I am well aware that there are a lot of issues today besieging our country, needing attention, like Baron Geisler showing his jewels or Aling Dionesia or wtf did Noli de Castro do in office these past few years.
I am sure we are tittilated ecstatic over that mayor-guy-who-have-been-made-into-a-movie throwing water over Kho and searching for the videos of Belo and others.
But there are more things to think about in the bigger picture. What say you Manny Pacquiao, all-exalted guy who has achieved National Hero status alongside Ninoy Aquino and Andres Bonifacio.
Oh here’s the answer: mass-produce national heroes by making them win in televised sports.

I still reading many job offers. I think the problem is just a language and experience

I strongly agree and not only Leyte. I just visited my home town in Quezon province which is just a kilometer away from Sierra Madre mountain range. Education and progress is too slow because of this unqualified politician.
About leyte or Western visayas in particular, i think they rank low in the 2006 STEP competition. another poor performance are region in the south specially ARMM.
