April 1 Humor: When Chicken Restaurants Create Some Funny April Fool's Ads

-

It's April Fool's Day, and what's April Fool's Day without some friendly humor? Here's some crazy stuff I found on Facebook:


This one is way too ridiculous. I confess I'm a fan of Bok Korean Fried Chicken. However, I still prefer Bonenone Korean Chicken at A.S. Fortuna, Banilad, which still tastes better IMHO. My only problem with Bonenone is the difficulty in getting a parking space. However, Bok in IT Park can be a quick fix. So far, no restaurant should be stupid enough to give free chicken, for bringing a live chicken. 


This Mang Inasal ad made me think, "Cool, there's mocha ice cream." However, the description from the Facebook page made it a clear joke. Looking at the caption, "Pwede ring hindi." meaning "Maybe not," with the laughing icon proves it's just a joke!


This one would be totally a joke. Hopefully, Dairy Queen will offer mint chocolate after this joke. It's definitely not advisable to swallow toothpaste. This is an obvious joke. But who knows? This obvious joke might inspire chocolate mint into the menu! 

Once again, Happy April Fool's Day!

The SCARY Truth About Trying to Get Rich Quick Gambling

-
Image
Freepik Two years ago, last October 2023, I wrote an article where I described that the pera-normal settings are resultss of  mismanagement . I was running out of ideas, but thankfully, Gemini AI, with its combination of right and wrong answers (that's why double-checking is important ), has helped me out of writer's block. I would like to state that because October means Halloween for some, I decided to write this post where I address the scary truth about gambling. This reminds me of the irony of turning down investing in favor of gambling , such as the irony of "investing" in Axie Infinity after pulling out of AXA , or the stupidity of buying lottery tickets in hopes of getting rich . Back in 2012, I remember losing a huge sum of money to a family friend, who was a habitual gamber.  Some people even play mahjong until the crack of dawn, hoping to get rich fast. In another situation, I remember hearing of people who keep playing the lottery,  hoping to get rich. Th...

Why I'm Not in Favor of Nationalization of Utilities Mixed with Protectionism

-
Image
ToonPool There's the call of leftist fools to stop privatization. Many still believe that utilities should be run by nationalization rather than privatization . I've been reading on Facebook where some fools believe that allowing foreign telecommunications companies (telcos) to invest in the Philippines will "risk security". Any telco will risk security if there are no laws to regulate it like the Data Privacy Law. Just because I support private enterprises doesn't mean that I say the government is hands-off. On the other hand, the government has the duty to set rules such as fair compensation, proper employee treatment, safety measures, and the like to make sure that we remain in healthy competition. Some people who keep protesting against the privatization of industries I believe (1) want the government to provide for all the needs of the people (which leads to dictatorship, eventually), (2) have some agenda as to why they're doing it, or (3) these people ar...

No Hard-to-Earn Economics Degree is Required to Know That a Welfare, Anti-FDI Philippines is Destined to FAIL

-
Image
GMA News When it comes to constitutional reform, I'm afraid one of the worst sources quoted would come from the Makabayan Bloc. Some people I face who are so against FDI also want to end the OFW program. The solution comes out rather absurd, as the Philippines must have its own state where it's all beg and beg . It would be like: "Free education for all! No to FDI for schools!"  "Free lunch in school!" "No to open FDI! The government must fund our local production!"  " Increase the salaries, lower the prices of goods! " (which is just plain bad accounting ) That's just a few of the crazy demands that have been given! My favorite question has always been, "Where will you get the funding?" The usual answers can be: " Print more money! " "The government should just make it a law!" "Tax the rich all the more!" which can often be accompanied by, " After all, it's the fault of the rich that p...

Refuting the Myth that Only FDIs Will Get Rich If You Invite Them to Do Business in Your Home Country

-
Image
Assignment Point 2022 is just around the corner. It's really something to think that some Filipinos still don't understand economics. I remembered talking about the need for economic liberalization. However, the common misconception about foreign direct investment (FDI) can be linked to nonsense such as, "Why will you let them invest here? Only they will get rich!" This is baloney when you've got access to the rich digital media to access real great constitutional experts who made their country great. I would be referring to great men such as former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir bin Mohamad, the late Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, Deng Xiaoping of China, Kishore Mahbubani the former dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. Maybe, we can also talk about how foreign investments played a role with the administrations of Fidel V. Ramos, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, and the late Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III (Noynoy).  Foreig...

Are Pinoy Pride "Economists" Willing to Establish Their Own Businesses to Provide Employment for Filipinos?

Buwan Ng Wika (Month of the Language) may not be Buwan Ng Produkto (Month of the Product). I'm going to continue indirectly targeting this fat whiner I dub as Porky Madugo. A lot of Porky's statements on his Facebook account (which I will not link here to avoid getting personal or giving him any more clout) are just plain ignorant or he knows he's lying. One of the statements that Porky said something like this: To all the inattentive people who push for FDI (foreign direct investment), why are you relying on foreigners to have a better economy in the Philippines?  Why don't we just strive to work to improve our economy? Don't keep complaining that the 1987 Constitution is already old and that we need FDI. All you do is rely on foreigners. You are all rocks! Work and don't dilly dally in your jobs. You are not given mininum wage just to be inattentive.  Once again, Porky has his stupid argument based on Pinoy Pride Economics. A few days ago, I wrote an article d...

The Pinaskohan Mentality is Keeping Poor Filipinos, POOR

Philippine Star Is it me or is the Christmas Season really that toxic in the Philippines? I wrote an article about the irony of early Christmas season with late Christmas shopping . I didn't think about writing this but is it me or do people like to ask for impunity during the Christmas season? Think about that toxic former friend or former romantic partner. You cut off that person because of the toxic behavior he or she shows. However, you meet at a public place during the -ber months. The person says, "Let's reconcile! It's Christmas!" I can be open to reconciliation with classmates with who I had a childish quarrel back in high school. So far, one of the people I had a childish grudge wasn't  a toxic person. The reason why I feel I can reconcile with that person is because he's productive . The same can't be said for people who have a toxic attitude.  What do several Filipinos look forward to during Christmas? Would it be just the spiritual signific...

Why Vegetarian Restaurants Tend Not to Last Long in the Filipino Market (Hint: It's All About the TYPICAL Filipino Diet)

-
Image
Laidback Gardener Years ago, I remember how Little India Healthy Cuisine opened in Cebu. Before that, there was also Planet Vegis . Planet Vegis had closed during the pandemic. Little India Healthy Cuisine opened in One Pavilion Mall in 2019 (if my memory serves right). Later, Little India Healthy Cuisine became a delivery service. It saddened me that my second-favorite Indian restaurant permanently closed, as shown by a Google Maps search. I was having some more plant-based food to increase my vegetable intake, since I was on a journey to weight loss. I was thinking that might be because Bollywood Tandoor is actually hard to defeat . I remember ordering some vegetarian  items at Bollywood Tandoor. I confess that non-sattvic vegetarian items contain garlic and onion, making them easier to consume than sattvic ones. But I was after weight loss , because I remember my blood pressure shot up before the pandemic.  I thought about the times when I ate at Little India Healthy Cuisin...

My Personal Opinion on the Recent Universal Robina Incident

-
Image
I was doing some news readings and I found out about the death of a certain Stephen Corilla. The incident happened in the Universal Robina Corporation's factory in Mandaue a few days ago. It really chilled my bones to read these details which I'll share from Sunstar : POLICE are set to investigate a food and beverage plant in Barangay Tabok, Mandaue City after one of its workers was killed on duty while cleaning a pulverizer machine Thursday afternoon, June 2, 2022. Cpl. Glenn Bordalba of the Mandaue City Police Office Station 3 in Barangay Basak who is leading the investigation told SunStar Cebu Monday, June 6, that they will visit the Universal Robina Corp. (URC) Mandaue City plant in Tabok on Tuesday, June 7, to investigate the matter. Bordalba added that they have not started the investigation yet as they were not allowed entry to the site by the URC management after the incident was reported to them. An approval from the corporation’s consultant is needed for the police to...

Understanding NAVPU Better

-
Image
As an investor, I tend to be rather impulsive. So, I decided to do more studying about the NAVPU. NAVPU means Net Asset Value Per Unit . So, how do we get the NAVPU? My first understanding of NAVPU is the amount per unit to make up one unit. For example, if the NAVPU is at least PHP 100.00 per unit then spending PHP 1,000.00 will give me 10 units of that certain Unit Investment Trust Fund (UITF). However, how do we fully understand the NAVPU? As a Metrobank client, I decided to look into Metrobank to further understand what NAVPU means than just the amount of units I can get depending on the price per unit. Here's what Metrobank says about how to understand NAVPU when investing: Understanding the Net Asset Value per Unit Net Asset Value per Unit, or NAVPU, on the other hand, is the underlying value of each unit. NAVPU is important because it allows you to compare how different schemes are trading, even though they may have very different prices. A large difference between price and...

Kabataan Partylist Seriously Needs to Learn ECONOMICS from the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union

-
Image
Vietnam National University, Hanoi Kabataan Partylist, is that you? No, it's actually the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (Đoàn Thanh niên Cộng sản Hồ Chí Minh), or alternatively, it can be called the Vietnam Youth Union . The color blue may remind some of Kabataan Partylist. Both Kabataan Partylist and the Vietnam Youth Union are involved with recruiting youths into the organization. However, there's a crucial difference between Kabataan Partylist and the Youth Union in how they view economics. The  Kabataan Partylist Laguna's blog  even writes this: It believes that the Philippines, as a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, is plagued by a system which allows foreign and big business interests to dominate, while the majority of our countrymen are left poor and hungry . We are living in a society where foreign subservience, peasant landlessness, and rampant corruption are the top three ills. To that end, Kabataan Party-list strives to galvanize the Filipino youth in u...
