Anatomy of an Overseas Filipino Worker (cont. 2)

2). THE SORE LOSER FILIPINO CANNIBAL

Now this one is a little morbid (if you are eating, please do not read this story).

Filipinos are compulsive gamblers. They gamble on everything that gives random results (I remember before that me and my classmates used to gamble using 'Lucky 9' by checking the license plates of oncoming vehicles.)

I will make this story short as I do not know how to write in a shocking or dramatic sort of way. One Filipino made himself a lottery 'banker' (one who buys prizes and gives out the numbers for betting) to earn some extra money. After the results were drawn (results are based on Thailand Lottery), he saw that one Pakistani guy won the prize. For whatever weird or crazy reason, he doesn't like that another nationality will take the prize, he wants only his fellow 'kabayan.' to win the prize. He and his friends beat the Pakistani guy, they chopped his body in small pieces, put it in a freezer, cooked, and ate it.

This cannibalistic fiasco has been the gossip and buzz from every expatriate I have talk to. Even my boss asked me "Do you Filipinos do that? You eat dogs right? How is human flesh?"

There is more, I told this story to a taxi driver, and he was glad to add more to the story as he is a nurse (wtf! times are hard these days). The Filipino cannibals went to the hospital as their stomach are in pain. Upon analysis of the doctors, they found out that they ate human flesh. The hospital staff called the police and caught the cannibals. Their fate is now unknown.

3) THE END OF A HORNY PINOY

Now this story gives a lot of smile instead of pity. There was this Filipino technician who serviced an air conditioning unit in a tall building. When he entered on a bedroom, a beautiful lady tried to seduced the Filipino. He was reluctant at first but the woman, who was so pretty, she tried to make advances like holding his d**k, and a lot of that. The Filipino can't take it anymore so he went for it - he had sex with a foreign woman.

After they finished, the Filipino wanted to leave the premises. The woman told that he cannot leave. Suddenly, the dressers and cabinets opened which was full of women! They also wanted to have sex with the Filipino. Of course he cannot because he was still 'tired' with the first one. The women became upset and they beat him, and thrown him out of the building.

Well. Those are some of my stories. Hope you enjoyed it. I can write more, if I remember some of them. You can share if you like.

Philippines: 10, 20, 50 years from now (cont 2...)

The rich and affluent will find themselves uncomfortable living in the Philippines as criminals will roam around and rob them in broad daylight. There will be horrible murders too. Some of them will arm themselves, but it will make matters worse. Law and order will be a major issue.

The Philippine government will try to calm down its people by increasing the basic salary of every worker, but this has turned off investors, and they are forced to look for cheap labor in other Asian countries like China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand. Unemployment will rise.

People will be upset and are forced to move out. Mass exodus of Filipinos are going to Asian countries to work. Many will die as they are crossing other territories as refugees, some will drown, or killed by security.
Filipinos are losing hope and will go back to provinces to plant on the rice fields.

(continued 3..)

Why we Filipinos love second hand items? (conclusion)

Although I have met some Pinoys who have this 'pride' that they want to have brand new things in their possession, majority of them are also swayed if they something cheap but original items which they long for.

Because Philippines is a third-world-country. That is about it.

Instead of buying brand new items which is overpriced for profit, items can be bought or even traded or swapped. We have lots of original items from around the world. Just go to the pier in Manila Port and you will lots of items from underwear to heavy equipment machinery. It is a big bargain really.

But it makes Pinoys also lazy.

They cannot make their own items for now, they all depend on these items that already existed in the market.

One good example is rice.

Rice is a common Asian staple food. So rice imported from neighboring countries like Thailand, Vietnam comes to the Philippines, all hell will break loose as the farmers there who plants their own rice variety will suffer because of the competition. RICE IMPORTED FROM OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE THE SAME PRICE SOMETIMES LOWER THAN THAT IS PRODUCED FROM THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

No need to explain further.

I asked some farmers too, why you are not planting your crops anymore? The answer is simple - why should we work very hard while I can buy rice immediately and even sell it?

But you will not get good profit.

Low profit is better than toiling hard, planting, breaking your back farming, bet your ass you cant stay at the field for an hour.

I was silent.

Something needs to be done here. Globalization and Capitalization can be our ally, and yet it became our worst enemy.

Your still ok? Have a beer, you have some more questions and shit? Ok, i'm sure you still do not believe me. It is ok I do not mind at all. I told this story to a lot of people but they called me crazy and stuff. There was this one time that I told this story to my ex gf before, we were having sex hehe, and Pres. Gloria called. She is asking how to handle the financial crisis that is creeping on everyone's doors. But you know man, Philippines was badly hit. Up to now it is still recovering. their monetary system is tied up closely with the US dollar, that is why if the dollar goes down, so does the peso. i told her that, "try to release more products that we have and put more prices on our goods so that we can have, you know that you are an economist for christ's sake." well, easier said than done. if we put more prices on their goods, they will go to our countries like china, indonesia, even thailand.

well enough of the economic shit, now is my g2g, my great great grandfather. its the 1950's war is over and the land was fucked up. you know what he did, nothing. during the war came, he used the certificate's power to gain access around the world. women, wine, gambling, everything. he just shown the certificate like a badge and he got all he wanted. like what i said, he came to know the power of that certificate. he knew that the war will come to the philippines, because japan gaines supremacy there. but he tried one noble thing, he told the americans to avoid the philippines, he will relinquish the ownership of it if they agreed. the americans rejected the offer. they told "while you are busy drinking and fucking around the world," japan already came to your country and spreading their shit all around it." he went to japan and talked to the emperor. he was also given an offer - that is - to bow down to them and they will give him a position as an ambassador. he will become part of the japanese government for international affairs. a good offer considering he will be part of the international delegation around the world - that is if they won the war. they will take the philippines in their posession and turn it into a major military stronghold against the americans.

he almost took the offer, but, being a filipino, and seeing what japan did during the war, killing, raping, torturing his fellow filipinos, he repented on the sins he made against the country he owned. and decided to talk again to the americans.

blast all the japs till they suffer. but there is one crazy thing he thought of:
drop the atomic bombs in manila and major cities around it.

wtf!!!

well, we want a new beginning. this is to serve as a lesson to all nationalities, especially filipinos. the horrors of war will never be forgotten. it is like the bible, where a great flood came, and everybody died excet those who believed in god, and we will come back again from the ashes and become a super power.

american generals, including douglas macarthur laughed. "you crazy sonofabitch, japan is our enemy, not the philippines. if we want someone to dead, it is the japanese."
