Would Police-Hating Wokes Dare Call Criminals If Ever They Become Victims of Crime?

-


I did write about defunding the police a day ago. The big question worth asking to police-hating wokes is what's their justification behind hating police officers? Was it because an abusive police officer and the death of an innocent civilian? We do need to know the function of the police first. Whether those wokes want to admit it or not--the police is just as important as healthcare. In a crime scenario, the police officers apprended the crooks and healthcare takes care of the victims. The police officers might even be required to guard the hospital if ever a high profile victim of a crime is in danger. A vital state witness is protected because the criminal group he or she defected from may want to kill him for her. 

Yet, no matter how you try to argue about the function of the police, these guys are going to start screaming all over. I guess not even the American Bar Association can convince them why we need a police force to keep society safe. They woud say stuff like, "You (insert insult), don't you realize you're just as deluded as (insert bad word) would just make things worse. You're as delusional as (insert bad word) if you think policemen will make things better." You may even get comments like, "You know what! I'd rather trust the criminals than the police. It's because the police kills without a reason and criminals kill for a reason." What kind of messed up logic is that?

That's why I'd like to ask those people who want to seriously defund the police, "Are you willing to call criminals if you never need help?" They want to defund the police because of abuses. They want the budget of the police to be allocated them to other functions that need police to defend it. You'd need police officers to apprehend healthcare scams, crime scenes in schools, and to protect houses from thieves. If they start defunding the police then where will good police officers get money to have the equipment to stop criminals? If the criminals started having better weapons than the police--would police-hating wokes call criminals if they get into trouble?

Let's think of this imagined scenario. I had to imagine myself living in San Francisco. The consequences are really bad. I remembered watching a video by Misha Petrov on Youtube. The way that she describes it fills me with disgust. It's a brutal hard truth that needed to be heard. Can you imagine a street full of discarded infected needles, human wastes, crime left and right, and you might want to move away from the place as soon as possible? As a child, I remembered the song "San Francisco" by the late Scott McKenzie. The song is but a memory now because of the defund the police movement. That song made me want to try and see the place. After hearing the current situation, maybe it's about time to abandon the American dream for good.

Who would I call if any of those criminals in San Francisco start breaking into where I stay? I could imagine going on vacation to such a place. No police officers at all. No money to fund the place because of the anti-capitalist mindset. I could imagine walking in San Francisco with all the crime worse than what I encounter daily in the Philippines. I'd probably be a lot more scared because of drug tourism. I would totally say, "Who can I call if a druggie hits me? Call another druggie?" That's the price of not having rules, right? Yet, I'm meeting people who say stuff like they'd rather end their lives than follow rules. I guess some people enjoy the chaos even if they have to endure the smell of human waste left and right, discarded needles here and there, instead of having a safe, orderly place. 

Because of the absence of cops, we can see how places like San Francisco and California are really that bad. The scene of Disney's Pinocchio where Pleasure Island soon got vandalized ot the max comes to my mind. People are making jackasses out of themselves in the symbolic sense. Consequences will eventually be worse than what Disney's Pinocchio. Sure, the idea of people turning into literal donkeys is just fiction. However, I'd rather turn into a literal donkey and be useful in the salt mines than to become a jackass of no use. 

If their logic was to defund the police due to a bad police officer then here's what. They need to defund other sectors such as healthcare and housing. Would they want to defund healthcare because a healthcare authority abused his or her authority? Would they want to defund housing because a zoning regulator abused his or her authority? These people like police officers, healthcare authority, and housing authority also have rules to follow. If they fail to follow the job assigned to them--isn't it time to remove them from their jobs?

Also, a police officer who was broken the law should no longer be viewed as a police officer. A police officer who's broken the law is a law breaker--not to be viewed as a law enforcer. By their logic, any police officer who breaks the law should be trusted because that police officer has become a criminal. A police officer who commits murder now "kills for a reason" because he or she is already best considered a criminal. I guess they'll call the bad police officers for help them. If not, they've further proven themselves contradictory when they'll refuse to embrace a bad police officer, a person best viewed as a criminal.

Was Cesar Virata's Position as "Prime Minister" the Best Proof That a Parliamentary System Won't Work in the Philippines?

-

Kahimyang Project It's often said by some of the now-old folks that the Philippines was once under a parliamentary system. I had some insults from a close-minded political scientist, some former dancer of an OFW, and others whenever I said, "We must shift to the parliamentary system!" They would say, "Look stupid! We already had a parliamentary system back in the Marcos Years!" I ask for the proof and they keep using Cesar Virata. By using insults, they start to make me doubt their credibility. It's because insults and other forms of Ad Hominem attacks are often the favorite tools of sore losers .  I would like to give this an example. One of their best sources is Cesar Virata. At first, it sounds like, "Okay, we had a parliamentary system." However, we must take note that not every country that has a prime minister, is under a parliamentary system. Some of them are still presidential in nature with parliamentary features . I wonder if Mrs. Raissa

Shifting to the Parliamentary System is Better than Banning Political Dynasties

Some Filipinos who are totally against charter change (or constitutional reform) always use political dynasties as an excuse. It's not enough that some of them should keep saying that economic charter change will mean "selling the Philippines to foreigners". Please, if they realize it, developed countries allow 100% FDI ownership--allowing foreigners to own 100% of their business . Back on the topic, I would like to discuss political dynasties and why they're not necessarily bad . Some people keep talking about the anti-political dynasty law--that is one per family. It might be because they still think the first Marcos Administration was a parliamentary system. Please, evidence has been gathered that it was never a parliamentary system, to begin with (read here )!  It's easy to talk about political dynasties. Some people were citing President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. as a member of a political dynasty. Some people also cite the Dutertes. I even

REAL TALK: The Liberal Party of the Philippines Can ONLY Become The Genuine Opposition Under A Genuine Parliamentary Constitution

PhilStar It's difficult to talk with people who are still comfortable with what they already know, right? However, the term Dilawan need not be drowned in negativity, but it can be drowned in negativity if the brand gets marred in a popularity-based political system. The Philippines currently uses the presidential system. If we were in a parliamentary system right now--chances are Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. wouldn't be prime minister due to the difficulty involved as explained in  " How to Become Singapore's Prime Minister, Explained in 7 Steps ". That means all candidates would need to do the following: Study and specialize Wait for the call Tea sessions and panels Take a test Perform well as an MP Win the trust of your peers Prepare for office The Dilawans can call themselves the genuine opposition, march in their proud yellow t-shirts, and more. However, under a presidential system, there's no real opposition, and the platform of any party

Rare Interview Footage of Ninoy Aquino and Doy Laurel in Japan, Reveal Marcos Years Were NEVER a Legitimate Parliamentary System

-
Image
People who are afraid of shifting to a parliamentary system tend to use the Marcos Years as proof. Fearmongers on Facebook are still up to their old tricks, using the Marcos Years to say, "No to cha-cha!" Never mind that a new constitution had to be written after 1986. If anything, Article XVII was inserted in the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines because it was never meant to be set in stone. Also, the 1973 Constitution of the Philippines was illegal .  Here's a video of the late Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" A. Aquino Jr. and the late Salvador "Doy" Laurel. The words of Laurel here show the problem of Marcos' "parliament". Marcos' "parliament" lacked legitimacy . Where was the sporting chance of the Opposition? If it was a real parliamentary system, Ninoy would've been leading the Opposition in weekly debates against the Marcos-led government. That is if the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. was the prime minister. If Cesar Vir

Lee Kuan Yew and Mahathir Mohamad: Just a Matter of Strong Leadership Without a Good System?

-
Image
Jakarta Globe It's very easy to talk about how we need character change only, not a charter change. I say that having a charter change (better termed constitutional reform ) will lead to character change. The old saying of some boomers goes, "It's common sense that nothing is wrong with the system, just the people running the system." However, when I ask something like, "If that's so then why do other nations have better leaders? What about Mahathir Mohamad and Lee Kuan Yew?" Their answer is, "Well, that's proof that the system isn't defective, it's just the leader." This can also come from people who believe what Atty. Hilario G. Davide Jr. said that there's nothing wrong with the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, that it's the "best in the world". The arguments are clearly illogical at best . Some say that the parliamentary system worked in Malaysia and Singapore because those heading it aren't corrupt. T

The Vizconde Massacre and Trial by "Trust Me Bro"?

-
Image
As Christmas approaches, another case worth revisiting for history vs. gossip is the Vizconde Massacre. I watched Crime Investigation Asia uploaded on YouTube. I wrote about the documentary Give Up Tomorrow -- a documentary that explores the irregularities while pursuing justice for the late Chiong sisters, Jacqueline Jimenea Chiong and Marijoy Jimenea Chiong. I feel compelled to write about the Vizconde Massacre. For more than 10 years, I used to believe that Hubert Jeffry Pagaspas Webb, son of Freddie Webb, was guilty. It turns out that according to Crime Investigation Asia --it was really a trial by gossip . In my case, I want to call it a trial of Trust Me Bro.  I still read comments about how footage of Hubert in the States could've been "easily tampered". Yet, those who comment haven't presented the evidence. I guess if I asked for their evidence, they'll just say, "Trust me bro!" Granted, photo editing was still in its infancy back then so how cou

Was the Late John Regala Interviewed by the Directors of "Give Up Tomorrow"?

-
Image
The passing away of John Regala hit today. I remembered a film called Animal (2004) in  which the original title was originally Butakal meaning male pig. Regala starred as Jaco Lozano--an obvious caricature of Juan Francisco Gonzales Larrañaga aka Paco. Strangely enough, neither the Larrañagas nor the Osmeñas were heard to have ever filed a case against the late director Toto Natividad. Instead, it was the Chiong family that filed a lawsuit against Natividad. I did write about  whether or not Natividad himself was interviewed by the directors of Give Up Tomorrow . As mentioned, there was over 400 hours worth of footage and over 100 interviews done . Both Marty Syjuco and Michael Collins may have interviewed not only Natividad, the late Tony Calvento but also Regala himself since he played the film's main antagonist . In 2018, we had an incident when Niño Muhlach apologized to Paco for the portrayal in The Calvento Files . Apparently, Niño himself wasn't interviewed but was prob

Trust Me Bro: The 1987 Constitution is the Best in the World!

-
I may be no lawyer or constitutionalist but it's time to use common sense . I'm afraid common sense is hardly taught or even encouraged in schools. Right now, I want to do this provocative entry to ask, "Fact or gossip: Is the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines the best in the world?" Yes, you read that right. Hilario G. Davide Jr. said that last 2018 and I'm still laughing at it. I've decided to write this common-sense post to actually contest the idea that, "The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines is the best in the world."  I'm laughing at some things Davide Jr. had said such as, "It' is the only institution in the world where the public office is a public trust." However, this man is terribly wrong because, around the world, we see the doctrine where public office is a public trust. Thomas Jefferson also said that public office is public trust -- way before Davide Jr. was born into the world! I really laughed at their claim o

Ifugao OFWs in Taiwan and Discovering More About One's Common Austronesian Roots

-

I was doing some research on Taiwan finding out that the natives are indeed Austronesians . It seems that Indonesians and Malaysians may have also settled in Taiwan aside from the Philippines. A look at Mt. Alishan and Banaue Rice Terraces have a similarity. Taiwan has its famous tea terraces. Banaue has its famous rice terraces. Both are cultural heritages that must be preserved! I soon found an article which Ifugao OFWs in Taiwan. Not surprisingly, these Ifugao OFWs can point out several things that are pretty similar. An article called " A Gotad Picnic With Ifugaos Living in Taiwan " would tell of Armand Camhol, an Ifugao OFW, who met with other Ifugaos in Taiwan. Gotad is a thanksgiving festival for the Ifugaos. The News Lens International Edition What was noted by Armand at the end of the article is: The people of Ifugao value hospitality, and as a symbol of friendship, they shared their holiday with their invited guests, who, in return, sang, joined the dances, and made

Can Anti-Reformists Prove to the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy That the Marcos Regime was a Real Parliamentary?

-
Image
The previous comparison of the CoRRECT Movement was between the late businessman John Gokongwei Jr. and Hilario Davide Jr., a public policy expert. The comparison is pretty much apples and oranges which is why Kishore Mahbubani, founder and former dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) would make more sense. It's not enough to say something. If the source is just merely Merkado CTTO (read here ) then I have every right to doubt it. I tried asking for empirical evidence  they have that the 1973 Constitution of the Philippines was a parliamentary government. The only evidence they have was that there was a prime minister and his name was Cesar Virata. However, further details reveal that Virata was a non-starter and a no leader. From Third World to First , Virata was even considered a candidate to replace the late Ferdinand E. Marcos, a president with powers . A challenge that I want to pose to people who still insist that the Marcos Years were indeed under a parli
