NABUDOL: Marcos Fake News & Disinformation Victims

Sabi nang isa kong dating kaklase noong highschool na isang Marcos supporter, mabuti na lang daw may social media na lalo na ang Facebook at Youtube dahil hindi pa daw nya malalaman ang totoo kung hindi dahil sa mga ito.

Peke, mali, at sinungaling daw lahat nang nasa libro at itinuro sa amin nung highschool. Anak sya nang isa sa mga guro namin.
Nakakalungkot di ba?
Sabi pa nya dilawan/pinklawan daw lahat nang media lalong lalo na ang America at iba pang mga bansa na sinisiraan ang mga Marcos.
Sabi ko impossibleng maging dilawan ang buong mundo, maniwala ka sa ebidensya at sa mga nakasulat sa kasaysayan dahil i a update naman nila yun kung kaylangan mang i update. Basahin at panuorin mo lahat nang gusto mong panuorin pero maging mapanuri kung san nila nakuha ang impormasyon at kung may ebidensya ba.
Nakalimutan kong itanung kung alam nya ba o na icheck nya ba kung sino ang mga may ari nang sinasamba nyang social media giants tulad nang Facebook at Youtube/Google. American companies ang mga ito 😅
So ibig sabihin sa sinasabi nya, dilawan/pinklawan din ang pinanggalingan nang mga fake news at maling information na pinaniniwalaan nya. Pero ayaw nya maniwala sa mga written posts at videos na may credible sources online na makikita din sa Facebook, Youtube, Google search at iba pang mapapagkatiwalaang websites.
Naka block na sya sa akin ngayon, oo tama po sinukuan ko na sya.
Bakit?
Malalim na ang pagkakatanim sa kanya na ang mga Marcos ang may ari nang pinaka madaming ginto sa mundo, naniniwala syang totoo ang Tallano gold at kung alam ko daw ba kung sino ang totoong may ari nang Pilipinas. Hindi ko na kinaya. Nakaka insulto ang pagpipilit nya nito sakin.
Napaka haba nang aming naging discussion. Sinubukan kong ilahad at ipaliwanag lahat pero isa sya sa mga tuluyan nang na brainwash nang ‘golden years’ nang ‘Marshall Law’ years nya, hinding hindi daw sya maniniwala sa mga sinasabi ko kahit na maglahad ako nang datos at ebidensya.
Naging toxic na ang aming usapan sa Facebook messenger. Naki usap ako sa kanya na saka na lang ulit kami mag usap kapag bukas na ang kanyang isipan.
Para sa kanya ako ang mali at na brainwash na ako nang mga dilawan/pinklawan.
Sinabi ko na lamang na sana ay wag syang mag sisi.
Kako hindi ko buburahin ang aming usapan, maaaring maging leksyon ito sa kanya sa hinaharap kapag kaylangan nyang balikan ang pagkakamaling kanyang nagawa na ngayon para sa kanya ay tama.
Patuloy na nagdarasal na may ibang makayanan syang makumbinsi at matulungan syang makapag isip at matauhan bago sya bumuto.
Totoo din na mas epektibo ang personal at harapang pakikipag usap lalo na kung bukas ang isip at teynga sa maayos na paliwanag na base sa datos at ebidensya.

Praying for the good people in the Philippines 😢💔🙏🏼

Let’s pray no will get hurt and no one will hurt our students activists.

I’ll always be here and will always be praying for my loved ones in the Philippines who didn’t vote for Marcos and his uniTHIEVES (unite to steal and more).
To those who voted for him, I am letting you go to whatever path you chose. I gave up on you when you gave up your values, heart, soul, conscience to support people like Marcos and his uniTHIEVES.

Reaction on a YouTube video about Philippines Election: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Watch it here: Philippines Election: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Surprise!
We have our own segment from a British comedian’s show.
Laughingstock.
If there’s any leftover Marcos & Duterte blind supporters in my FriendList, get yourself out.
You are not welcome here and in my life anymore.
I don’t need anyone who support and justify the vile & power hungry Marcoses and Dutertes.
I mean it.
Let’s talk again when you realize it’s unrespectable to support and defend a murderer/mastermind of murders and tortures especially of innocent people, stealing from our country, lying about almost everything, did and still doing all these without a bit of remorse.
Let’s talk again when you can accept facts and evidences without insulting our own history by saying these are all just plain accusations blemishing their ‘perfect Yamashita & Tallano gold plated’ name.

Marcos Machinery of Fake News, Disinformation, Propaganda & more

Sa mga magsesend sa akin nang link from the Marcos machinery of fake news, disinformation, propaganda, and lies:

Please don’t send a link to me where the author of the post is not even a real person but a fictional character.
Iko-convince mo na rin lang ako dun naman sa ang post ay galing sa totoong tao na ginagamit ang totoong pangalan nya.
If you can’t even explain geopolitics and other terms you’ve read, heard and watch from pro Marcos videos from Tiktok, Youtube, or here in Facebook then you don’t really understand what you’re talking about.
If you believe that credible sources online, reference books in schools, historians, accurate data/numbers and legitimate evidences are fake/false then there’s nothing to say anymore.
Let’s not waste each other’s time kung ganitong klase ang discussion. If sarado ang isip mo at ayaw mong maniwala na nabiktima ka nang fake news at disinformation, magpapaikot-ikot lang tayo.
If you want to maintain our friendship, just hide the things I share and post if you don’t like it or wala kang tyaga magbasa o manuod.
Post and say whatever you want on your wall as I do in mine.
If you are so full of pride and you don’t want to try to educate yourself, that’s your choice.
Sabi nga nang isang Leni supporter na nabasa ko: I respect you, but not your opinion if it is based on lies, ignorance, and fake news.
Thanks.

Marunong MAHIYA

Yung asawa ko sa 10 debates namin, isa o dalawang beses lang ako manalo, at kahit anglakas nyang mang asar pag talagang tama naman sya e anong magagawa ko. 😅

Pero pag ako ang tama or he sees my point, he acknowledges it and he agrees with me.
Ganyan ang tunay na maayos at mabuting lalaki, marunong umayon, marunong umamin pag mali, hindi nagpapadala sa PRIDE, sa laki nang EGO, marunong MAHIYA at hindi pinipilit yung balikong paniniwala.
Wala akong paki alam kung anung kasarian pa ang maging Presidente, dun ako sa most qualified at hindi ka hiya hiya tulad ni Marcos.
Yes nakakahiya talaga, magbasa ka kung anung tingin sa atin nang mga taga ibang bansa lalo yung mga negosyante nila, bakit yun importante?
Kasi malamang gusto natin sila mag invest sa bansa natin.
Hindi lang mga mayayamang Filipino businessmen ang dapat may paki alam sa imahe natin sa buong mundo.
Bilang ordinaryong Pilipino, may paki alam din dapat tayo sa imahe natin sa labas ng ating bansa.
Nakakalungkot na nakakahiya, mas may alam pa nga minsan, at mas hindi nakakalimot ang mga nasa labas nang bansa sa mga kasalanang ginawa nang mga Marcos sa mga Pilipino.
Tantanan ako sa respeto at kung anu anung excuses.
Dahil kung nag aapply ako at hindi mo ako hinire kahit ako ang most qualified, kawalan mo pero anglaking sisi mo for sure kung ang basehan ng pagpili mo ay dahil:
1. napaniwala ka sa mga kung anu anung kasinungalingan na tinanggap at pinagtatanggol mong totoo
2. kalugar mo o anumang equivalent nang favoritism (yabang pa nung iba na pinapractice ang NEPOTISM tulad nang idol nila na si Duterte, google o i-check mo sa dictionary kung anu yun)
Hindi ako nakikipag away pero nakaka insulto at nakaka gigil yung pinipilit pa sakin yung mga disinformation kung san sila naBUDOL.
Don’t me po.
Kung ayaw mo sa totoo, wag ka dito sa wall ko, i hide mo.
Pikit.
Yung nasa Taas na ang bahala sa mga patuloy na nag bubulag bulagan, nag bibingi bingihan.
Ok lang tahimik pero boboto sa tama.
Pero yung boboto ka habang jina justify mo sa sarili mo dahil ang daming RED FLAGS ay naku good luck.
Kahit anung sipag mo kung nanakawin lang WALA din. Hindi mapupunta sa dapat puntahan.
Wala man kami sa Pinas, botante pa rin kami. Pilipino pa rin kami. Yung nanay ko at ibang mahal sa buhay andyan.
Sa pagtaas nang bilihin, pagbagsak nang ekonomiya, pagdagdag sa utang nang bansa na hatid ay pagbaba ng piso at iba pa kasama sila sa mag sa suffer sa consequences nang botong TAGILID para sa bayang sinilangan.
Yun lang.
Ang haba na naman.
Masarap nga ang mahaba (oh sa mga gusto nang green jokes dyan). 😂
Pero seriously masarap ang mahabang paliwanag na may sense. Masarap magbasa ng mahaba basta worth it basahin at hindi fake news at hindi galing sa fake account.
Naka abot kaba dito?
Salamat.
Hindi ako galit (maliban kung may gagawin kang nakakagalit).
Gigil. Passionate. May pakialam lang. 😉💗

Nakakaloka ang upcoming Philippine Election 2022

   Grabe nakakaloka talaga ang pagkaka brainwash/ pagkaka biktima sa lies, disinformation, at propaganda nang mga sumusuporta sa mga Marcos.

Paano nila na ju justify sa mga utak, puso, at konsensya nila na ang mga kakampi ng mga Marcos ay galing din sa mga political dynasties, mga corrupt at magnanakaw din sa kaban nang bayan na sina Arroyo, Ejercito, Revilla at iba pa? Birds of the same feather flock together.
Paano nila naaatim magbulag bulagan? 😢💔
Paanong hindi sila nakakaramdam ng awa sa mga nakaranas ng pang aabuso sa kamay ng mga Marcos? Ang mga pinahirapan at pinatay. Kahit kanino hindi mo gugustuhin mangyari yung ginawa sa kanila.
Bakit mas gusto nila maniwala sa mga posts at videos na walang maayos na pinanggalingan?
Na guni guni ang ebidensya?
Pero tinatamad magbasa, manuod o ayaw agad maniwala pag galing sa credible sources, may legitimate references, proper citations and actual evidences.
Kahit saan galing, pinklawan daw ang buong mundo!
Bakit kaya hindi nila makita o kahit nakita ay binabalewala yung mga RED FLAGS? mga BABALA at KATUNAYAN na may mali sa iboboto nila?
Bakit hindi sila nahihiya?
Bakit hindi nakokonsensya?
Bakit naniniwala sila sa mga fake news at pang ookray about kay Leni pero yung VALUES of hard work, integrity, at credentials na hindi pineke hindi sapat sa kanila?
Bakit galit na galit sila na documented lahat nang achievements at ginagawa ni Leni?
E ganun din naman tayong lahat kahit nung nag aaral pa tayo pag may project tayo may written report na kasama, hanggang ngaun nga mapa trabaho o ordinaryong araw dinodocument, nirerecord, pinipicturan natin lahat at pinopost sa ating mga social media accounts.
Hindi susuko sa paglaban sa kasinungalingan.
Kahit nakaka disappoint yung mga Marcos supporters.
Kahit nakaka frustrate ang katigasan nang ulo at pride.
Kaylan pa sila matatauhan at magsisisi?
Pag huli na talaga?
Saan na lang sila pwedeng tablan?
Dasal.
Mananaig pa rin lagi ang katotohanan at totoong kabutihan.
Hingang malalim.

To Close Minded Marcos supporters/apologists/loyalists/enablers

I started to unfriend Marcos blind supporters here in Facebook. I asked myself, do I want to be friends with someone who don’t share the same values? Nope.

All my posts about Leni and the Marcoses are in public, if they still want to see it and they start to realize they want to read, watch or check them out, they’re free to do so. 😊
Please send me a private message after Election Day on May 9 if you change your mind and you uphold the same values again I thought we shared.
If not, let’s cut it short. Hindi natin kaylangang mag plastikan (No need for hypocrisy).
I’m happy with the number of friends and family I have who honor and practice the values I cherish.
I did my part already. I voted for the person who’s not only the most qualified for the position in terms of her proven works and achievements but also her character. Integrity, hard work and other values I treasure that she represents.
I’m raised by my Mama Lynn to uphold those values and not ‘Mama’ VP Leni Robredo. I am not a blind supporter. Though my mom and her have similar aura, similar personality, same dimples, same beautiful smile. If VP Leni wins, I will still do my duty as a responsible citizen, calling out lapses whenever needed. 😉
Now truth be told, praying it won’t happen, but if Bongbong Marcos wins, I’m taking it personally.
Yes, that’s how much I am disgusted with him, his mother, his sister, his father, and everything they did and still doing. Stealing, lying, and killing.
The tortures they did to innocent people, I won’t wish it to happen even to my worst enemy or even to a pest.
Hindi ko kayang sikmurain. Kung kaya mo, ikaw yun.
(I can’t stomach it. If you can, that’s you.)
If I wasn’t able to unfriend you but you want to unfriend me because of my beliefs, please feel free to do so. We don’t need to a part of each other’s lives, no need to be toxic to each other.
P.S.
Different topic, to those who are also PRO-ABORTION in all cases, stages of pregnancy, and situations, please unfriend me too.

Another lesson from the Philippine Election 2022

Genuine respect is earned, not ask nor pressured. You can’t insist on it. Your freedom of speech is respected but not your blind, questionable, unrespectable opinion.

Post Philippine Election 2022 Feelings

Marcos blind supporters have no sympathy nor empathy to all the Martial Law victims. May no one else, that they know, experience any of the things these people experienced.

I don’t know any of them personally but my heart & soul ached for them.
I still feel sick to my stomach whenever I think how we can let the same family return to power. 🤢🤮
I had headache & heartache for two days like the others I know.
I feel sorry and more.
I’m ok here in the U.S.
But my loved ones are there in PH.
Hoping, praying, there will be no victims like them in this ‘new’ Marcos regime.

My COVID-19 experience while pregnant

August 19, 2021 (Thursday)

Late Wednesday evening to early dawn of Thursday when I first felt some symptoms similar to common cold or flu. I experienced sore throat and some body pain early in the morning, I felt better though after drinking some warm lemon juice with honey. I also gargled with water and salt. I decided to skip work. I don't want to risk giving anything to anyone just in case. I reported at work that I was sick and was told to stay home and rest.

My husband bought a COVID home test kit (antigen test) when he came home from work, he helped me took it and the result was NEGATIVE. To be sure though, hubby sleeps on the other room for the meantime.

By evening, I started to have some low grade fever. I was more worried for the baby than myself.

I haven't been this sick since I came here in the U.S.A, close to three years ago. Even when my husband got sick last January 2020 and I took care of him, I barely got sick. Being pregnant, even when I tried my best to be extra careful, my immune system was compromised. I also think there's a good chance I overtired myself from work during the first week of class opening.

August 20, 2021 (Friday)

I called the OB-GYNE clinic and talked to my doctor's nurse. I reported to her my symptoms and I was given instructions to call the Delivery and Labor Department at the hospital if my fever comes back on the weekend. 

August 21, 2021 (Saturday)

I was feeling better, I was even able to do our laundry. I washed the bedsheets too, cleaned the house and sprayed Lysol to kill any lingering virus. I opened the doors so fresh air will come in. I feel so much better after.

August 22, 2021 (Sunday)

I started feeling sick again and my fever is back, higher than the first time. I called the hospital as I was told but the line was busy. Good thing our health insurance has a 24/7 Nurse Hotline where I was able to talk to a registered nurse, report my symptoms and got more instructions on how to safely lower my fever. Hubby is worried too. He took care of me. We are hoping my fever will go down and we can meet my doctor on Monday. 

August 23, 2021 (Monday)

My fever went down and I am feeling better again. I have cough and runny nose, and headache most probably related to my sinus. 

We had our anatomy ultrasound for the baby, everything is good and we found out we are a having a BABY GIRL! Yey! Lavender Nursery Room!

Hubby waited for me outside after the ultrasound, because of COVID the clinic's rules changed again and I can only meet with the doctor.

I told my doctor all my symptoms and everything we did, I was given instructions on what medicines are safe to take if I still have fever (and other symptoms) on the following days. I was also told to take another test but this time the COVID PCR Test. I made an appointment and the earliest I got was on August 27 11:50 am (Friday).

August 24-26, 2021 (Tuesday to Thursday)

My fever didn't return. I still have cough and runny nose but overall I'm getting better. 

August 27, 2021 (Friday)

I drove and went to get my COVID PCR Test. Still feeling better, thank God fever didn't return anymore. Result will be out in 1-2 days.

August 28, 2021 (Saturday)

Still taking things easy. Rest and drinking more fluids. Eating healthy stuff. No fever. 

August 29, 2021 (Sunday)

Got the result. POSITIVE. Hubby reported at work too. He will also take a PCR Test on Tuesday. He will work from home for the time being. I also reported my result at work.

August 30, 2021 (Monday)

Talked to my doctor's nurse, reported my result. My OB-GYNE is out and she will report to her my result tomorrow. I inquired about what to do on how can I get a return-to-work for later on. Do I need to take another PCR Test or an antigen test will do? Do I need to wait until I'm negative again? It's been more than 3 days that I don't have a fever. It's been more than 10 days since the first day I experienced the symptoms and I immediately isolate myself. I will follow whatever is necessary for my sake and everyone.

September 1, 2021 (Tuesday)

Finally, I was able to talk to my doctor's nurse. She told me that my doctor will probably ask me to wait another 10 days from August 27. I told her again the fact that I'd been isolated since August 19 when my first symptom appeared. I called the Florida Department of Health, they have a record of my positive result and at first I was told the same thing to wait another 10 days from August 27.

September 2, 2021 (Wednesday)

I work from home today. The school secretary per the school director's instructions told me to call again the Florida Department of Health to tell them again that I'd been in isolation/quarantine at home since August 19. The new representative I talked to investigated my case and decided that indeed I am finished with the 10 days quarantine needed. She sent me the COVID 19 clearance letter on my email saying that I can go back to work the next day. Yey!

September 3, 2021 (Thursday)

I return to work. Everyone welcomed me back. I maintain my 6 feet distance with everybody just to be sure just in case I cough (I still cough a little bit). I wore my face mask if I will be in close contact with someone. I decided to be extra cautious for me, my baby, and everyone else. I'm glad to be back. A workmate said me and the baby have now a natural immunity for around 7 months. I checked and this is what I've found and read from the website of the National Institutes of Health, the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and public health research: Lasting immunity found after recovery from COVID-19.

*Update 9/4/2021: Hubby tested NEGATIVE on his PCR test. 😊

Philippine's 1st Olympic Gold 💛

    Our very own weightlifting fairy Hidilyn Diaz won the Philippines' first gold Olympic medal last July 26, 2021 at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. 

    She lifted the spirits of all the Filipinos all over the globe especially those who need it the most in the Philippines.
