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!

Real Talk: No MNCs In Their Right Mind, Would Ever AGREE to That Ridiculous 60-40 Proposal

Here's another art I found on Facebook. Some time ago, I wrote about how the 60-40 policy may not prohibit, while still discouraging FDIs from entering . It's plain common sense, really, that nobody would want to rent a space if they had to part with 60% of their net profits to the lessor (read here ).  It annoys me to think that certain Netizens on Facebook are still blaming government corruption over the 60-40 policy. That can get annoying. I can link the 60-40 policy to government corruption . After all, corrupt officials want to perpetuate their stay in power through an ignorant and impoverished population. However, blaming corruption alone is really downright stupid. Some say investors are going to Communist Vietnam because the Communist Party of Vietnam-Vietnam People's Army is serious about cracking corruption. However, the reality is that, ironically, Communist Vietnam has more reasonable economic restrictions compared to the Philippines (read here ). Only a few sec...

Venezuela as a Cautionary Tale on #SahodItaasPresyoIbaba, Nationalistic Pride, Welfare State Economics

The Sunday Guardian Years ago, I wrote about Venezuela's pride and protectionism , under a more "formal" style of writing compared to my latest posts. I decided to use an even "less formal" and "less academic" tone since I'm not writing a term paper. Instead, it's like how a professor and a student discuss the thesis using first person over third person, using contractions, etc., while the thesis doesn't use such tones. Back on track, I thought about the arrest of Venezuelan President Maduro can spark debate. Was it a violation of sovereignty? I'm no expert on international law. However, Venezuelans can be seen celebrating Maduro's arrest. Right now, I'm using Gemini AI and Google search to help me find some sources for this blog. It's because I don't want my blog to become another gossip central, but a place to discuss facts with my own personal opinions (making sure they don't  derail the facts).  I used Venezuela ...

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

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...

Communist Vietnam's Great Leap Forward in Agricultural Production

I remember reading through Third World to First by the late Lee Kuan Yew. It's very easy to use the book to badmouth the Marcoses but not to learn from the rest of it. The book also talks about Vietnam and LKY's encounter with the late Nguyen Duy Cong aka Do Muoi. It's often said that Singapore only opened because of its lack of natural resources. On the contrary, Do Muoi decided to learn from Singapore how to turn the Communist Party of Vietnam into a powerhouse. Do Muoi, though a communist , was impressed by Singapore during his October 1993 state visit. Vietnam, unlike Singapore, is a country rich in natural resources. The third-world mentality said that MNCs are there to rape the resources .  A very huge misconception especially if you know Singapore's history Some Filipinos on social media even say that FDIs will destroy agriculture and nature. This is a meme by the Philippine Anti-Fascist League on Facebook. They say that FDIs equals environmental degradation. Yet...

60-40 Foreign Direct Investment Ownership is Nothing More Than OVERPRICED Rent

I'm amazed that there are some people who still insist that the Philippines should retain the 60-40 investment scheme or even lesser shares  ownership for foreign investments. The argument always goes such as (1) Filipinos must be the majority shareholder because it's their country, (2) only foreign investors will get rich if you let them invest in here 100%, and (3) you're basically selling land. This is the problem when people can't tell the difference between shares ownership and land ownership . Shares ownership means owning a percentage of the company. Land ownership is where the land is leased upon. This is where I would like to argue why easing certain foreign investment restrictions is necessary. An illustration that will help see why 60-40 is nothing more than overpriced rent I would like to give this picture. Let's imagine you're a businessman and you're looking for a space to rent. Not everyone is willing to sell their commercial space but there ...
