The Filipino First Policy Caused the Philippines to Succeed!

High School Philippine History Movement

Yes, you read it right! I found a hidden gem that I should've read years ago! It's the book Nationalist Economics by the late Alejandro Lichauco, who is part of the magnificent IBON Foundation. It's a shame I refused to read it. I should've read Lichauco's book instead of the late Lee Kuan Yew's book From Third World to First. What a shame that I didn't look into the details that LKY was a dictator, that Flor Contemplacion was indeed innocent, and that Singapore is a state comparable to Nazi Germany. As I bought my copy of Nationalist Economics from the Trust Me Bro School of Economics--I'm now convinced that the Filipino First Policy caused us to succeed! LKY ruled Singapore for 31 years, meaning it's a frightening thing indeed! Six years is the magic number ot establish a benevolent rule!

Who should we all listen to? Should we listen to foreigners or should we listen to our fellow Filipino? We must think straight. I quoted Kishore Mahbubani from Singapore a lot. What was I thinking? Why didn't I think of how Singapore unjustly treated by beloved countrywoman Flor! I watched The Flor Contemplacion Story on VIVA Films and it's extremely accurate! Instead, I now see the wisdom of our great fellow Filipino, Atty. Hilario G. Davide Jr. Davide's wisdom remains more valuable. After all, he's one of the framers of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines. Davide is right to call it, "the best constitution in the world."

As I went to the Trust Me Bro School of Economics, I see the beauty of 60-40 arrangement. Garcia prioritized the local manufacturers over the foreigners. That should be how it should be. After all, Filipinos are the most powerful race in the world! Filipinos can do anything! Filipinos can industrialize a country without much or no help from foreigners. As the Trust Me Bro School of Economics show--only people with psychiatric problems think the Philippines' Internet connection is slow. The Trust Me Bro School of Engineering has proven the Philippine has the fastest Internet connection in the world! Why should I listen to others when Trust Me Bro schools are the best schools of thought?

It's because we bar FDIs from owning 100% of their shares--we have created the magnificent OFW phenomenon. OFWs aren't just the new heroes. They are also the new warriors of the Philippines. If you get the job in another country--you certainly conquer that lot! The OFW phenomenon has allowed us to overtake ASEAN. Filipino First made the Philippines last? That's a stupid statement! Instead, Filipino First caused us to overtake the ASEAN countries, and how did it happen?

The OFW movement doesn't only grant remittance by dollars. Talks of separation anxiety are just drama. May I remind everyone of our great hero last 2016 named Ello Ed Mundsel Bello (Edz Ello). It was time for us to conquer Singapore. One can see that through OFWs, we will definitely conquer the world. It's because we're stealing the jobs away from the countries where OFWs are sent. It will not just be an increase in GDP but also an increase of the Philippine territory. The Philippines would soon conquer not just ASEAN but the whole world through the OFW program. Ello may have failed to conquer Singapore, but one day Filipinos will conquer Singapore and ASEAN through the OFW program.

We can also trust the Makabayan Bloc candidates. Teodoro "Teddy" A. Casiño's plan to increase the minimum wage is possible. #SahodItaasPresyoIbaba economics is possible. All we need to do is to push Pinoy Pride in all that we do. The laws of the Universe bends to Pinoy Pride! I'd like to say people must vote for Makabayan because Filipino First Policy will help us succeed. If there's any reason why the Philippines is failing right now--one should blame foreigners getting richer for its problems. I'm voting for all Mabakayan blocs because they're incredibly brilliant people!

GOTHCA! HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!

How Many MORE Unmitigated Typhoon Disasters Before Filipinos Realize That the Filipino First Policy is FAILING Them?!

GMA Network I remember surviving through Typhoon Odette last 2022. Tino happened on November 6, 2025, which also reminds me that Yolanda's anniversary came two days later . Yolanda was even worse than Odette! Thankfully, Cebu City's impact wasn't as bad, and power didn't take too long to return, unlike Yolanda. However, seeing news reports such as an investigation done against Slater Young's project in Monterazzas de Cebu should highlight a bigger problem. Looking at the photos of floods on Facebook makes me think, "How many more unmitigated typhoon disasters until Filipinos realize that the Filipino First Policy is failing them and that the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines badly needs updates?" For die-hard defenders like Atty. Hilario G. Davide Jr. (who will turn 90 this December 20) or Atty. Christian Monsod (who's 89 this year), they're prone to saying that it's just a matter of implementation . However, whether we want to admit it...

Filipino First Policy Also Responsible That ONLY 2/10 Pinoys Have Emergency Funds

Yes, it's been a day since Typhoon Tino. It was a stormy, scary time, and I thought about how expenses were piling up after I was hit by Typhoon Odette . Thankfully, I had contingency savings at that time. However, with Uswan moving upwards and entering another area of the Philippine Area of Responsibility, I considered the issue of emergency savings. I thought about how Christmas can be the most stressful time of the year, with issues such as traffic caused by last-minute Christmas shopping . This time, I thought about some not-so-surprising statistics on Filipinos. It turns out that only 2/10 Filipinos have enough emergency savings . This should be considered disturbing, and this is another thing I failed to consider in my younger, more foolish years, according to the Philippine Star : Commissioned by insurance firm EastWest Ageas, the PURPLE Report conducted by consumer intelligence company NielsenIQ showed that most Filipinos only have P50,000 in emerg...

Helping Others is Good But Not to One's Own Expense

I advocate for helping others. I believe in helping others but there were times I overdid it. One time, I gave up so much that I had to be stopped. I was told, "If you gave everything now, how can you help others later?" I would donate some sums here and there, without thinking much. I'm not going to write them all. Some of them left me good while others left a bad taste (and a bad record) for me to endure. Sure, I want to help people but I tend to overlook the consequences. Some of the bad habits I had in the name of helping others are like: Being too generous with buying with credit. Eventually, I lost a lot of money which was never recovered . Some seasoned entrepreneurs may admit their own falls including the credit trap pitfall. Being too willing to give a discount without thinking about how it'd affect profits. Sure, a cheap price can draw people near. However, there are times when the prices of goods and services need to be raised to keep a business running. I ...

A Lot of OFWs Can't Be Home for Christmas Thanks to the Filipino First Policy

It's just a few days before Christmas, right? I was reminded of how certain parts of the Philippines couldn't celebrate Christmas because of Odette (and I was included). Before Odette, there was also Typhoon Phantone which hit on Christmas Day . The idea that nothing goes wrong on Christmas is absolutely stupid. Some people even die during the Christmas season. Christmas gets so often associated with family get-togethers. However, some people wouldn't be home for Christmas when they could've. I'm once again talking about OFWs. Yes, they're working abroad not because they're out there "conquering the world". Instead, they're out there because of one lousy policy since Carlos P. Garcia. That's namely the Filipino First Policy . Once again, I dare say out loud that the Filipino First Policy caused the Philippines to fail . That's why I wrote that Filipino First Policy has no place in the rising Asian century (read here ). I was rather disg...

Refuse to Do Business with a Person Who Looks Down on Menial Work

If there's any reason why some people are angry with the rich--it's because of rich people who look down on the poor. Some people are born rich without knowing the struggles of the one who originally acquired the wealth. Some rich parents make the fatal mistake of making their children feel entitled. Meanwhile, some rich parents make their children do the right thing by not waiting until things get too far. Some rich parents end up making their children attend middle-class schools, do summer jobs, work as employees in their own businesses, and teach them the value of wealth, especially by narrating the struggles before they got wealthy. In looking for a business partner, I feel it's very important to look at the attitude of these people. How do they treat people who do menial work? I could imagine looking forward to a business contract. However, it turns out that the potential business partner is a spoiled brat . Maybe, it's already a red alarm if I'm invited to an ...

Why I'd Recommend Children Learn Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, Over MS Paint

This is a picture I drew out of boredom. Drawing Santa Claus (or Saint Nicholas) on the beach for fun is an obvious mark of boredom. I used several curves to draw everything, and copied/pasted the trees from my previous works. I dropped MS Paint for Adobe Photoshop (and now I dropped the latter, because of the fees). I remember getting fascinated by MS Paint as a child (though the limits are too, well, still limited today). I was looking into MS Paint on my most recent PC . It's almost useless, especially when I can do better casual drawing on either Affinity Photo (for raster graphics, and it has the basic features of MS Paint) or Affinity Designer. Just reading Affinity's offer of free access to eligible schools , MS Paint may lose its relevance even more. I was looking into Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, and a child could actually do some exploration, ask an adult for help, do more exploration, and start to do better. Sure, dealing with layers can be frustrating at f...

Instead of Hating Successful Chinese-Filipinos, Why Not LEARN from Their SUCCESS Instead?

It's Chinese New Year and I can remember some crazy stuff back in my childhood. Right now though, there are still some Filipinos of brown descent (either Malay or Indonesian) who still have their typical bitter attitude towards successful people. I was reminded of someone who blamed the rich, rather than their poor attitude towards money, as to why she had to work as a working student. There are still some who have their attitude of hating the rich for simply being rich . I don't deny that some rich people deserve hate. But why hate the rich person who has gotten rich through honest gain and hard work? Why not learn from good rich people who can offer sound advice instead of being bitter about their success? Some Filipinos of non-Chinese origin may feel too proud about their being "Pure Filipino". However, any study of Filipino history will reveal that their brown skin isn't too unique. We can see Malaysians and Indonesians tend to have brown skin. Some of the ea...

Phishing Can Be Done By the LEGALLY EMPLOYED in LEGITIMATE Financial Institutions

It might be easy for some to ignore the obvious phishing emails such as a complete stranger asking for money, a too-good-to-be-true employment offer, a Ponzi scheme offering huge returns in such a short time, a pyramid scam that promises to pay you every time you recruit, etc. when you've guilt some experience. I was once hit by a pyramid scam and lost a small amount of money. I decided not to pursue recruiting because I was too busy trying to get my bachelor's degree in business administration. However, what's so often ignored is the world of employee fraud. Besides, some phishing activities can be done by legally employed financial institution employees. Don't believe me? Well, I believe that's what happened to me today when I lost some money in a GCash "verification" process since it looked so legitimate. Apparently, the GCash scam was done were legally employed staff and not some programmer. Some people are so greedy that they want money fast regardles...

When a Merry Christmas Leads to an Unhappy New Year Due to FINANCIAL DEBT

WWD Christmas is near and I could rant about everything I hate about the season. I could think of heavy traffic and overcrowded malls. It's understandable if there are office Christmas parties. The bigger problem lies with people who end up wasting their paychecks all year round (read here ). It's just a few days before Christmas and I can see the excitement. For some, they're all waiting for the gifts people have to give them and what to give to people. In the Philippines, it tends to focus on partying which is somewhat similar to the American view of Christmas. I could remember living downtown in Cebu City for a good portion of my life. Some neighbors would party until dusk. I could remember huge crowds with their chatter together with loud music. Some people even hire a band to add to the merriment. Granted that some people have very little financial discipline . I'm not surprised that they would celebrate for the sake of celebrating. The mentality that they have lo...

Self-Defeating Demands for Higher Salary, Lower Priced Goods, and Handouts for Everyone

Yup, you can just expect it to backfire badly on your face. This is one funny meme I found on Facebook . The picture above might be very familiar to some people who were born in the 1980s or even older. Tom and Jerry is a very old cartoon already and that's the one I used to watch on either rented Betamax or on Cable TV for some time. I would like to render a translation on the following terms for the sake of readers especially those who don't understand the Tagalog dialect: Meowists is an informal term for Maoists. The term "Sahod itaas, presyo ibaba, ayuda para sa lahat." means "Increase salaries, reduce prices, handouts for everyone." Ayuda means help in Spanish. It's also referred to government handouts. The shotgun loop itself presents the very self-defeating demands and arguments. I only had a total of 12 units of college economics--three units during my Associate in Computer Science (ACS) days, six more units during my Bachelor of Science in Busin...
