‘Should you not be thankful na pinansin ka pa?’ – Radio host to Jennylyn Mercado decrying attempts to silence her

Radio host Mark Lopez couldn’t stop the itch to respond to Jennylyn Mercado’s latest tweet decrying what she called an attempt to silence her for exercising one’s right to question.

In a Facebook post with the title “JENNYLYN MARKADO PART 2”, Lopez wrote: ‘Eto na naman tayo Jennylyn Mercado eh…’

Lopez explained once again to Jennylyn Mercado why he wrote the Jennylyn Markado Part 1, and that is not to shut her mouth or a message telling her to shut up.

‘Nung sinagot ng maayos ang obviously rhetorical question mo about “breakdown ng inutang,” the effort was not to silence you, or tell you to shut up.’

But…

‘On the contrary, we addressed your rhetoric to actually help educate you, especially in the nuances of what you have brought up as an issue.’

Without holding back his punches, Lopez called spade a spade re Jennylyn Mercado’s latest attempt to engage netizens on Twitter.

‘Ngayon, here you are engaging na naman with your flair for drama and putting yourself as an underdog who was attacked and harassed by simply exercising your right to question.’

Lopez told Jennylyn Mercado that she has two choices staring at her face but she chose the latter, which he suspects a puppeteer is pulling strings behind the curtain.

‘You see, you really have a choice naman talaga whether you want to sincerely know and learn, and use that knowledge to influence and make the world around you better… or simply act your part as the bitch who was probably coached or influenced to engage in linguistics just to spite and incite people to hatred and rage.’

Lopez remarked that his gut feeling tells him Jennylyn knows what she’s doing and the current “paawa” narrative is just a pathetic attempt as her defense mechanism she has been exposed as a fraud activist.

‘Feeling ko naman, alam mo ginagawa mo, and this current ‘paawa’ and ‘pa-victim’ narrative is another pathetic, lame and moronic attempt to defend yourself because you have been exposed for your sham activism and epic fail in pretending that you really care at all about our National Debt.’

Lopez reiterated it is incorrect for Jennylyn to claim she was being silence. It just makes her looked very stupid.

‘Again, it is so incorrect and misleading to say na ‘gusto ka patahimikin’ just because nagmukha kang tanga.’

If you asks his personal opinion, Lopez believe Jennylyn isn’t stupid. She may even be relishing at her new found notoriety. As they say in showbiz, good or bad publicity is still publicity.

‘Personally, I believe hindi ka tanga, and you may even be enjoying your new found notoriety, typical of that showbiz cliché na “good or bad publicity, is still publicity.”‘

On Jennylyn’s complained that people might have forgotten to respect others who different opinion, Lopez answered:

‘As for respecting your opinion, the fact that we took painstaking effort to respond, and even presenting you with facts, prove how we acknowledge what you posted in social media, even if we know what you were really aiming for is not to expound and elevate the discourse, but simply to engage in diatribe against the government.’

Lopez shared to Jennylyn another cliché to remind her about earning respect.

‘By the way, here is another cliché – Respect is earned, not demanded.’

Lopez ended the FB post by reminding Jennylyn to thank him for the attention. ‘Should you not be thankful na pinansin ka pa?’

You’re welcome.

Lawyer quips on Renate Reyes: ‘Hinala ko nga, baka panahon pa ni Magellan, nag ra-rally ka na rin sa Cebu’

‘Eto na naman ang payaso!’ This is the opening salvo of Atty. Nick Nañgit to warn netizens that Renato Reyes is gonna get roasted in his latest FB post.

Atty. Nick called out Reyes, whom he addressed “payaso” or clown in English, to tell Reyes what his mother told him that before he was born, the “payaso” has been a fixture in street protests. Now that he is a lawyer, he wanted to asks Reyes, is he still on the streets (leading anti-government protests)? No government is good for you? Atty. Nick asked.

‘Huy, mamang payaso, di pa ako ipinapanganak, sabi ng nanay ko nasa lansangan ka na. Ngayong abugado na ako, nasa lansangan ka pa rin? Walang mabuti sa iyong pamahalaan, ganern?!’

Atty. Nick dared Reyes that if he is disappointed with the leaders of the country, why not run for President, to get elected to a position and prove that indeed you are good, not just blabber and blabber, when you are not even a worthy critic.

‘Kung disappointed ka sa lahat ng namuno sa bansa, bakit hindi ikaw mismo ang tumakbo, para mahalal ka sa posisyon at mapatunayan mong magaling ka, hindi yung putak ka ng putak e wala ka namang katorya toryang kritiko!’

Atty. Nick accused Reyes of turning street rally as his personal enterprise! That’s why, when asked about his plans with regards to the pandemic, because he is so intelligent, he should bravely answer the challenge and not sidestep the question. Supposedly, he is a genius now because he has lived under different Philippine leaders in different decades and yet he has not found contentment with them, correct?

‘Ginawa mo ng palabigasan ang pag ra-rally! Kaya, pag tinatanong ka kung anong plano mo sa pandemya, dahil nga punung puno ka ng katalinuhan, dapat buong tapang mong sasagutin ang hamon sa iyo, at hindi yung isasantabi mo ang tanong. Dapat isa ka ng henyo ngayon, dahil naranasan mo nang mapasailalim sa mga pangulo ng ilang dekada at hindi ka nakuntento, diba?!’

Atty. Nick remarked that if Reyes fails to understand what the President has been doing now, it is because of he is just slow.

‘Kung di mo getz ang ginagawa ng Pangulo ngayon e dahil yan sa kahinaan ng iyong kokote!’

The truth is, Atty. Nick said, Reyes isn’t capable of taking the challenge because his brain is slow, that is why street rallies or enterprise has been his thing for several decades now.

‘Yung totoo, di mo talaga kayang sagutin ang hamon sa iyo, dahil nga mahina ang iyong kokote, kaya serbisyong lansangan ang inatupag mo ng ilang dekada!’

Atty. Nick ended the FB post by joking that he suspects, Reyes started street rallies in Cebu since Magellan’s time, that’s why his face is shaped like mango.

‘Hinala ko nga, baka panahon pa ni Magellan, nag ra-rally ka na rin sa Cebu, kaya nag muka ka ng mangga! ’

Ex-La Salle prof compares anti-administration critics on covid-19 response to “Laban-Bawi” contestants. Read why!

A former De La Salle History professor compared the noisy critics of the Duterte administration’s handling of the covid pandemic to the very popular but now defunct “Laban-Bawi” segment of Eat Bulaga.

Former De La Salle History professor Van Ybiernas opened the FB post by acknowledging that the Philippines has now more than 100K cases of covid but registered only 2K+ deaths. However, there are more than 100M Filipinos in terms of population.

On Facebook, Ybiernas asked: ‘Ano ang dahilan?’

Ybiernas answered, ‘Dahil daw palpak ang ating pamahalaan.’

I imagined Ybiernas raising his eyebrow while throwing a series of questions to perfectly set up the fatal punch that took out the wind out of the anti-administration critics:

‘Ganun ba? E ano kaya ang masasabi ni Angela Merkel dito? Doble ng bilang ng kaso ng Covid sa bansa ang meron sa Germany (211k) at lampas 9k ang patay. 83 milyon lang ang populasyon nila.’

‘E ang Canada ni Trudeau? 38 milyon lang halos ang populasyon pero halos 117k ang Covid cases at halos kasing dami ng Germany (9k) ang patay.’

‘Sa France in Macron kaya? 188k ang Covid cases at lampas 30k ang patay! 67 milyon lang ang populasyon nyan.’

Here’s the fatal blow I said earlier that Ybiernas threw at the anti-administration critics, ‘Aba’y kung sablay ang “populist” na lider ng ating bansa, e di mas sablay ang mga liberal democrats ng Europa at Norte Amerika!’

‘Mass testing daw ang solusyon!’ Ybiernas noted the cry of the wokes and the Opposition.

Ybiernas also cited the experience of Russia who is not doing well either.

’27 million tests na ang nagawa ng Rusya. Ang resulta? 850k cases at 14k deaths. Populasyon ng Rusya ay 144 milyon.’

Ybiernas also mentioned Germany having conducting 8M tests and urged the reader to refer to the stats he already stated above.

‘Germany ay nagkaroon ng 8 milyon na tests. Nabanggit na sa itaas ang statistic nila.’

At this juncture, Ybiernas asked the $1M question which I pictured the anti-administration critics scampering towards their refs to get a glass of water.

‘Ano pa ang solusyon ng mga kontra-gobyerno na contestants sa Laban-Bawi?’

Ybiernas cited an example why he compared the anti-administration critics to Laban-Bawi contestants.

‘Mali daw ang ECQ nang mag-ECQ ang gobyerno. Pero ngayon tama na daw ang ECQ.’

Another inconsistency of the anti-administration critics Ybiernas noted is they want the Duterte admin to follow Vietnam’s lead in handling covid but having the covid positives isolated in military camp is wrong, which is what Vietnam is doing.

‘Sundin daw ang Vietnam. Pero mali daw ang pag-isolate (sa mga kampong militar) sa mga may Covid, na siyang ginawa ng Vietnam. Mali daw yun, kapateeeeeeeeeeeed.’

In addition, Vietnam is against mass testing. According to Ybiernas, the last count was around 300K tests for a nation of 90M people.

‘Tapos kontra din ang Vietnam sa mass testing. Ang huling ulat nasa 300k tests lang ang Vietnam para sa isang bansa na 90 milyon ang populasyon.’

This is in contrast to the Philippines which conducted more than 1M tests. ‘Lampas 1 milyong tests na ang Pilipinas!’

On why the government was against mass testing? Ybiernas called critics stupid. He recalled the government said from the start that we should trust our experts. They know who to test and who not to test, when to test or not.

‘E bakit daw kontra tayo dati sa mass testing?
Tanga! Ang sabi namin noon ay pagtiwalaan natin ang mga eksperto. Sila ang nakakaalam kung dapat ba o hindi, at kung sakali ay kelan dapat, mag mass testing.’

Another consideration which Ybiernas recalled having said it, which is also the same as Malaysia’s stance on mass testing, is that the people might have false sense of security. They might have this thinking since the numbers of covid cases are low, they will lower their guard down by disregarding the safety precautions.

‘Ang ilang konsiderasyon dati —na nabanggit ko din— ay kagaya ng sabi ng Malaysia na baka magkaroon ng false sense of security ang taumbayan bunga ng mass testing, na isipin nila tutal nagmass testing na at mababa ang bilang ng infected sa Covid ay pwede na nila bale-wala-in ang safety precautions.’

Ybiernas shared his observation in South Korea where is based now. He said many Koreans stopped wearing mask perhaps because of the humid weather since it is summer there. They started to get complacent after the mass testing and the cases of covid in South Korea is low, so they started to think that it is okay not to follow the safety precautions.

‘Actually, nakikita ko iyan dito sa Korea. Dumarami na ang hindi nagsusuot ng mask kasi siguro summer dito at maalinsangan (di naman talaga masyadong mainit). Kumpiyansa na sila na nakapag-mass testing na at mababa ang Covid sa Korea kaya pwede na huwag sundin ang safety precautions.’

Ybiernas took a swipe at critics he described intelligent summa cum laude graduate of Facebook University – especially the communist morons – are the ones who know the solution of covid. He said the communist morons are very certain that they will not get covid that is why they keep holding rallies.

‘Yung mga matatalinong summa cum laude gradweyt ng Facebook University —lalo na ang mga bugok na komunista— lang naman talaga ang nakakaalam ng solusyon sa Covid. Siguradong sigurado nga ang mga bugok na hindi sila tatablan ng Covid kahit rally sila ng rally.’

‘Iba talaga ang mga bugok! Maski ano ibabato basta makabato lang!’ Ybiernas lamented how pathetic the anti-administration critics’ strategy.

Bugok!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ex-De La Salle professor calls Opposition “Bugok” for joining bandwagon calling for re-imposing of ECQ in NCR

‘Ang bugok nga naman!’

This is how former De La Salle History professor Van Ybiernas described the Opposition politicians who change their stance or position in a particular issue depending on where the government stands.

Ybiernas cited the ECQ as an example. The former De La Salle professor noted that when the Duterte government imposed ECQ in Luzon, the Opposition had a litany of complaints justifying why they were against it.

For example, they were worried about the employees who will lose their jobs, the daily wage earners, the dirty ice cream vendors and the jeepney drivers who will lose their incomes because of ECQ.

And now that the government is second guessing whether to return to ECQ or not amid the rising cases of covid in NCR, the Opposition are quickly jumping on the bandwagon amid the call of the medical frontliners pleading President Duterte to return NCR and nearby provinces to ECQ.

Ybiernas can’t help but lashed at the kind of politics the Opposition play on his Facebook wall, calling them ‘Bugok’ or rotten.

Ybiernas lamented that the Opposition seemed to have forgotten the daily wage earners, the dirty ice cream vendors and the balut vendors now that they have spotted an opportunity to attack the administration.

You may now continue reading the full FB post of Van Ybiernas below.

Nang magdesisyon ang pamahalaan na mag ECQ noong una, naglitanya ng reklamo:

Paano daw yung mga walang trabaho habang naka ECQ

Paano daw yung mga arawan ang sahod

Kawawa daw sina manong dirty ice cream vendor

Paano daw yung mga jeepney drayber

At kung ano ano pa.

Pero ngayon ECQ na daw! Biglang hindi na naalala yung mga kinaawaan nila dati.

Ano nagbago?

E kasi nagdadahan-dahan ang pamahalaan sa pagdedesisyon mag ECQ dahil sa maraming konsiderasyon, pangunahin na nga ang ekonomiya.

At dahil nagdadahan-dahan ang pamahalaan, biglang ECQ na ECQ na ang mga bugok.

Hindi na naaalala yung mga dirty ice cream vendor, yung magbabalut, yung mga arawang manggagawa.

Hu u pohwzzzz na sila ngayon…

Ang mga bugok talaga.

Bugok!!!

By the way, one of those who are now actively campaigning to reimpose ECQ in the NCR is VP Leni Robredo amid the call from the medical frontliners. In case you missed it, Robredo was against extended lockdown because she said it won’t help in fight vs. COVID-19.

Non-lawyer netizen makes short work in busting point raised by 2019 Bar topnotcher on Twitter vs Duterte admin

So mainstream media’s new poster girl, 2019 Bar topnotcher Ms. Mae Diane Azores has been quoted once again, particularly by News5Digital via her recent tweet taking a swipe at President Duterte, who said that the plan of the government was to wait out until a vaccine arrives?

Atty. Azores remarked on Twitter that this plan is like waiting indefinitely for a miracle to happen.

On that note, one of our “suki” DDS bloggers named Tio Moreno has taken to Facebook to defend President Duterte from the impertinent remark of Ms. Mae Diane Azores.

“Inaasa nalang talaga natin sa vaccine?” This is the opening salvo of Tio Moreno to open his long rebuttal to Atty. Azores’ tweet.

‘YES YOUR HONOR!’ Moreno, in a mocking tone, replied that the government’s plan is to wait for the arrival of the vaccine.

Moreno informed Ms. Azores, in case she isn’t, that the government has already set in motion the plan she was demanding via the IATF. He asked then where was she when the BAYANIHAN TO HEAL AS ONE ACT was enacted?

‘The government has already set in place the policies by the IATF. Resolutions were even made available for public consumption. I don’t know if you’ve read all of those, but your honor where are you when the BAYANIHAN TO HEAL AS ONE ACT was enacted?’

Moreno joked if Atty. Azores was asleep when the government rolled out the billion-peso program to help out Filipinos during the outbreak.

‘Did you sleep when the 275B was rolled out to help out the Filipino citizens on this coronavirus outbreak?’

Moreno went on to update Atty. Azores the various programs of the different government agencies and citing figures to give her and fellow critics a picture of what the government has done so far.

The National Government has also embarked on the biggest social financial aid program in history.
DSWD: Social Amelioration Program
DTI: Loans to MSMEs, moratorium on rentals
DOLE: TUPAD and CAMP
DOF: Small Business Wage Subsidy, moratorium on loan payments
DA: Loans to agricultural sector

Are you aware that the government launched the PUBLIC-PRIVATE TASK FORCE T3 (test, trace, and treat) to significantly extend RT-PCR testing capacity? The reason why we have overtaken South Korea and Japan in terms of testing per population.

In line with that they also have procured and distributed the following:
– Coveralls: 1,685,661
– Face masks: 9,287,550
– Gowns: 1,644,123
– KN95 masks: 1,629,640
– N95 masks: 459,024
– Face shield: 1,107,011
– Gloves: 3,607,470
– Goggles: 940,623
– Non-invasive ventilators: 74
– Head caps: 1,744,855
– Thermal Scanners: 3,066
– Aprons: 742,600
– Sanitation tents: 10

And since SARS Outbreak in 2003, previous admins did not care to boost our health care system & medical infra, this government was able to build facilities in just few months that have
– Total bed capacity as of June 21: 13,108
– ICU beds: 1,298 (34% occupied)
– Isolation beds: 8,802 (37% occupied)
– Ward beds: 3,008 (35% occupied)
– Mechanical ventilators: 1,941 (19% occupied)

Moreno clarified that the figures may have changed because of the dynamics of the virus but the government isn’t resting on its laurels and continue reacting to the changing situation.

‘These figures may have changed now because the number of positive cases has been obviously increasing and our gov’t continues to build medical facilities as well.’

Moreno lamented that despite the government tapping the services of the AFP and the PNP to ensure the lockdowns are strictly observed, but still still, there were a few who defied the measure to prevent the spread of the virus.

‘The government already tapped the PNP to safeguard lockdowns and asked help from AFP to restrict mobility to lessen contagion, but still rallies and protests are everywhere.’

Moreno informed Atty. Azores that he will now rest his case, believing he has said enough to defend the government from her criticism.

‘With that in mind your honor, we believe that the government has done its part and that is to ensure resources will be available both for the citizens and frontliners in the middle of pandemic.’

‘Your honor, what can save people from COVID19 is their adherence to quarantine protocols, plus the availability of the VACCINE. Yes your honor, we are indefinitely waiting for a MIRACLE to happen because miracles come true,’ Moreno added.

Moreno wrapped up his FB post by challenging the 2019 bar topnotcher to share her suggestions or recommendations to address covid19 crisis.

‘And I heard you’re a BAR TOPNOTCHER, I hope you can give out better suggestions or recommendations to address COVID19 crisis.’

Radio host offers brilliant suggestions to President Duterte how ECQ 2.0 will succeed this time!

The medical community, particularly in the NCR and nearby regions has fired the distress flare so to speak, asking the government to impose ECQ, jus for two weeks to give them breathing air amid the rising cases of covid in Metro Manila.

In a joint statement, the Philippine College of Physicians wrote to President Duterte.

“We propose that the two-week ECQ be used as a “time out” to refine our [COVID-19] pandemic control strategies, addressing urgent problems.”

On that note, radio host Mark Lopez wrote an open letter, appealing to President Duterte to give a listen to the plea of the medical community in the NCR and nearby provinces.

Lopez explained the aim of the medical frontliners, which is to slow down the number of cases and to prevent the hospitals and health centers from getting overwhelmed.

So to give the medical frontliners the necessary break, people need to stay at their homes for 2 weeks.

Now, Lopez asked why people go out? Because they they need to work for their survival.

Lopez went on to articulate the ideal response of the government to stop people from going out if and when ECQ 2.0 returns, that is to make people look at ECQ 2.0 as an incentive to stay at home for 2 weeks and not as a threat.

So what are the incentives?

Please continue reading below for Mark Lopez’s detailed explanation how to make ECQ 2.0 effective and succeed!

Mayor President Rody Duterte,

Dito po sa panawagan ng mga doktor at medical frontliners, ang aim nila is mapa slow down lang ang infections at para hindi ma overwhelm ang mga ospital and health centers.

So ang kinakailangan po eh dapat ang mga tao, mag stay home muna for 2 weeks.

Ngayon, bakit ho ba sila lumalabas na ngayon? Kasi ho kailangan naman nila ituloy ang hanap buhay for survival din.

Siguro po ang ideal na tugon ng gobyerno para huwag muna lumabas ang mga tao eh hindi threat ng lockdown kundi INCENTIVE PARA TUMIGIL MUNA SA BAHAY kahit TWO WEEKS.

Ngayon, ano po puede INCENTIVE?

Baka puede po SAGUTIN NA NG GOBYERNO O KAUSAPIN NG GOBYERNO NA ILIBRE MUNA ANG UTILITIES SA MGA HOUSEHOLD, meaning KURYENTE, TUBIG, AT INTERNET. BIGYAN DIN NG AUTOMATIC SUBSIDY AND LOAD, OR TANGGALIN DIN MUNA ANG DATA CAP.

Ang para po matugunan ang problema sa pagkain, MAGBIGAY NA PO NG FOOD VOUCHERS for FOOD DELIVERY sa bahay din.

Ipatawag nyo na po sa Malacañang ang mga UTILITY COMPANIES, AND FOOD MANUFACTURERS LIKE SMC ROBINA ETC.

Sila na ho ang bigyan natin ng burden to help you in government take care of the people in their homes.

At least pag sila lang po kausap nyo, mas madali na ang execution, at derecho talaga ang benefit sa mga tao. Wala pang corruption o red tape from government. Immediate na ang assistance.

Siguro po, na gets nyo naman what I am suggesting and how it can be immediately adopted.

Sana po ma consider.
