Globe Wifi Gone (LOS in Red) For Almost 1 Week Already

For almost one week or 1 week na ata, around late 5am or 6am in the morning last week, my wifi disappeared and the LOS was and is still blinking red. I already went to SM Globe to have it reported and fixed and they issued me a ticket and a schedule for the technician visit. The girl said within the next day as earliest or next two days as latest, a technician would arrive.

Last Monday or yesterday, the Globe at SM (a female employee) called me to confirm if a technician visited me cause she said their technician told them they visited my area and wanted to confirm to me if my wifi is already back. I told her perhaps your technician is lying because no technician visited me or at least my wifi isn't back yet. Since visiting Globe for the first time last week, I received at least 3 text messages from Globe saying my wifi is already okay, the first one being sent the same day after I visited Globe - specifically that text which arrived at almost 10pm after going to SM, saying the crew visited my area and the wifi should already be okay and I should just turn off and on my modem - but still not yet resolved. Even just today, I received another BS text from them, saying: "Hi there. You may have experienced a loss of our home internet and landline services earlier. This was caused by a problem in our system. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Rest assured that our services have been restored and you may continue going online again. Simply turn off and unplug your modem for 10 to 15 seconds, then replug your modem and turn it back on to refresh your connection. If you are still encountering issues, please let us know by sending a report using the GlobeOne app. Thank you and have a wonderful day!" I also went back again last Sunday to SM Globe, for the second time, because of that false and fake first message saying my wifi is already okay but clearly no signal yet.

Globe, stop the BS customer service. Don't wait for the day your officials (and other wifi providers who are also guilty of widespread or gross bad customer service) will be summoned at the Senate to answer countless issues and problems from your subscribers. If it is indeed a very difficult technical problem, why don't you just be honest, instead of sending fake, scammy, or false text messages saying that my wifi is already restored and okay WHEN IT IS CLEARLY NOT YET OKAY. There is no storm or typhoon in my area, so what's your excuse now? You wanna be grilled by the senators like Senator Tulfo? You want to become as famous as the ongoing impeachment hearing?

My Honest Analysis of TLPH's Latest Announcement

The closing line of Team Liquid PH's (TLPH) latest video https://youtu.be/GDdcpLsvShk?si=gTR3SBBRTutnsqx_ - 'And to everyone else, doubt us' - feels like a manufactured victim mentality. First of all, their MSC 2026 run was a disaster and arguably their worst failure to date. How do you go from being defending MSC champions and 3-peat MPL PH champions to getting dethroned via back-to-back sweeps in the early rounds?

The issue isn't simply that they lost - nobody is invincible. The real issue is HOW TLPH lost. Let’s be fair: most of us had high hopes for them precisely because of their regional dominance and having the GOAT, KarlTzy, on the roster. What few saw coming prior to MSC 2026 was that other junglers in the tournament would outright outperform KarlTzy. Their match against Aurora seemed to shatter them mentally, which ultimately triggered a second sweep by an underdog team that didn't even reach the knockouts.

It raises a broader question: what is the real weight of domestic titles like a 3-peat or 5-peat if you can't carry that momentum onto the bigger international stage, as we saw with TLPH in M7 and MSC 2026? It's similar to why Kairi is often called the 'uncrowned king' - despite his MPL ID streak and MSC 2023 title, an M-World crown has eluded him, much like how Kelra held that title until M6.

That said, just because TLPH stumbled badly in MSC 2026 doesn't mean they aren't the favorites for MPL PH S18. I won't be doubting them heading into next season. Why? Because until local teams prove there are better junglers than KarlTzy within MPL PH, or better teams vs TLPH, it's far too early to count them out. Coming into MSC 2026, nobody doubted TLPH; they were top bets until an international shift occurred. Domestically, until proven otherwise, TLPH remains the team to beat.

Stop hiding behind a fabricated underdog story to deflect from accountability - nobody doubted your championship pedigree, we were simply embarrassed by your total collapse on the world stage. Nobody doubted you before MSC - you simply failed, got outplayed, and manufactured a victim complex to avoid facing the reality of your own collapse. And now coming MPL PH S18, I will not doubt you, unless what happened in MSC 2026 will happen again in MPL PH S18.

Edward of RORA PH Is Retiring

As stated by RORA PH: "Edward, thank you for letting Aurora Gaming be your final chapter as a professional MLBB player." https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Hv3eZ7SM4/

Also, in the last part of this video https://www.facebook.com/reel/900451783122687, Edward said "Maybe this is the last time you will see me wearing a pro jersey." Take note of the term 'Maybe.'

But whether final or not, one thing is for sure, EDWARD IS THE TRUE EXP GOAT OF MLBB. As stated in this post: "On the other hand, RORA’s M7 victory solidified Edward as the true GOAT of the EXP Lane. Although Edward has experienced his share of shortcomings, he has consistently performed and claimed M-World titles across completely different rosters and metas, even while anchored to a heavily criticized team nicknamed "Choke-RORA." Between M3 and M7, he proved he could win both as part of a juggernaut with the Vee-Wise system and as the veteran anchor of a doubted squad." https://www.reddit.com/r/MobileLegendsGame/s/nekN9o0VvU

Yup, you read that right. Sanford is not yet the EXP GOAT. Until he can do the same, win another M-Worlds without a superteam or KarlTzy in his squad, like what Edward did winning an M-World without the legendary Vee-Wise and was part of a strong but belittled and trashtalked RORA M7 Team, then Edward remains to be the true EXP GOAT. Of course, you need a strong team to win the M-Worlds, but as proven by RORA and arguably ONIC in M6, you can win it despite not being a superteam. Also, in the NBA, do you know why Kevin Durant has a weaker case in the GOAT argument, or even as the GOAT of his generation? Although he is arguably the most efficient scorer ever, one reason his case is weaker because he has won his 2 chips in that superteam of GSW. Until he wins another one, outside of a superteam, he has a very weak case to be the GOAT or in comparison to Lebron despite KD being the most efficient scorer ever. That's also one of the reasons why Kobe wanted Shaq out of LA, so that he can prove to others he can win despite not having the most dominant center of the modern era. If you recall, in Kobe's 3 out of 5 chips, Shaq was the Finals MVP. It can be argued Kobe wouldn't be as great today if in all of his 5 chips, Shaq was there or was the Finals MVP in all 5.

Coming from the mouth of KarlTzy himself, PRIOR TO M4 DURING MPL PH S10: "Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno said it best in the post-game interview, saying: “Gusto namin patunayan na hindi kami laos. Tsaka gusto namin patunayan na ang super team kaya mag-champion.” Also contributing to the redemption arc is Sanford “SanFord” Vinuya, who was primary a reserve player last season, but revealed that his teammates did everything to level him up." Source: https://www.spin.ph/esports/karltzy-on-win-gusto-namin-patunayan-na-ang-super-team-kaya-mag-champion-a4858-20220814 So, who should you believe more - a biased fan who does not play professionally, or KarlTzy himself? And if that article and statement by Karl is still not convincing enough for you, watch this video at 12:50 mins mark https://youtu.be/yARolXkxPeY?si=RnxTI8WUGkRiVe9F - a conversation between Wolf and Karl himself.

As of this writing, only four players hold two M-World titles: KarlTzy, FlapTzy, Pheww, and Edward.

In M7, let's not forget who was the MVP in Game 3, resulting in RORA PH knocking the super team TLPH to the lower bracket. Let's also not forget who was the MVP in Game 4, when SRG was already match point and RORA was about to lose in the Upper Bracket Final and they badly needed to win on demand.

Thank you and rest well, Mr. Consistent.

Realtalk About The Flood Control Issue

Do you really know what Digong and her daughter Sara gave us? Not just “peace and order” slogans or medical aid programs, but a flood control system built on kickbacks and ghost projects that started in 2016, and a confidential funds scheme that left hundreds of millions disallowed and under plunder complaints. While they promised unity and change, what Filipinos inherited were substandard walls that crumble in every storm and secret budgets that vanish without clear accountability - legacies that continue to drown communities and erode trust long after their names left the headlines. Bakit, ngayon lang ba bumaha during the time of BBM? During the time of Digong, wala bang baha parang nakatira tayong lahat sa mahal na subdivision?

It is misleading to blame President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. (BBM) alone for the flood control crisis because the corruption system that produced substandard and ghost projects was already entrenched during the Duterte administration (2016–2022), when the Discayas and other contractors first entered DPWH flood control bidding and began paying kickbacks to officials. COA had flagged massive anomalies, budget insertions, and ghost projects as early as 2017–2020, yet no administration-wide cleanup or major prosecutions followed under Duterte. What happened under BBM (2022–2025) was not the creation of the scheme but its dramatic scaling: flood control budgets ballooned to over ₱545 billion for nearly 10,000 projects, magnifying an already-corrupt system into a national scandal. Thus, while Marcos bears responsibility for allowing the abuse to continue and explode, the roots, culture, and key actors of flood control corruption predate his term, making sole blame on BBM both historically inaccurate and politically convenient for those who benefited during the Duterte years. As per the Daily Tribune: Marcos said Duterte himself had acknowledged problems in flood control projects but said no officials were ultimately held accountable. "At the time, President Duterte acknowledged there were great problems in terms of the flood control projects, but nothing happened," Marcos said. "Having acknowledged it, he did not find accountability in anybody. So I guess that was left up to me."

Stop the pa-victim VP Sara, your father is also responsible for this.

MSC 2026: Realtalk

Of course, all qualifiers from MPL PH to MSC are strong. But while Falcons are indeed strong and congrats to them for proceeding to the knockout stage which TLPH miserably failed to do, TLPH is just much stronger if you wanna just base history. TLPH defeated Falcons 4-2 in S17 Grand Finals, and yet they crashed out and got swept in MSC, without winning a single game. And didn't KarlTzy said recently "Sa tahanan ng pinakamalalakas, ako ang pinakamalakas" ("In the home of the strongest, I am the strongest.")? Yup, the strongest team (TLPH) with the strongest player crashed out and didn't win even a single game in MSC and got eliminated by an unknown team. The issue is not about losing because nobody is perfect, but rather how they lost and got swept in MSC 2026, esp as defending champions which was frankly embarrassing. From M7 to MSC 2026, it can be argued that TLPH is now an even bigger choker than RORA PH in international events.

MSC 2026: Falcon PH, the last hope of PH, moves to the Knockout Stage

Now the stage is complete for the Knockout Stage. Falcon PH will face Vitality in the QuarterFinals. No matter what happens, this is already a big achievement, esp Falcon PH was just the silver medalist of MPL PH S17. ONIC ID with Kelra and Kairi also qualified by beating SRG. That was a crazy game by Kairi and Kelra in Game 1.

Yes, the 2024 MSC Champion SRG lost, but at least they lost to the MSC 2023 Champs with Kelra unlike TLPH who, frankly speaking, lost to an unknown team and that team who beated them didn't even qualify for the knockout stage. As the defending MSC 2025 champion and three-peat reigning and defending champion of MPL PH, TLPH lost so badly they didn't even win a single game and was eliminated by an unknown team. You can excuse their defeat against Aurora, especially with how strong Aurora played so far, but that sweep defeat against Entity7? There's no excuses. The GOAT with TLPH lost badly and it seems Mirko was right. Did you also see the pattern? TLPH is even a bigger choker now than RORA PH, at least internationally. Fumbled hard in M7, now crashed and collapsed in MSC 2026 as the defending champion with zero wins and an early exit. Your teammates said meta and ego was the reason you failed in M7, but what reason will you say now? Sanford clearly said in this video that this problem is now solved with your new coaches, at 5:00 mins mark: https://youtu.be/-AVvFOkCFrU?si=jKfY-9tc5bcQOL_j

He is the greatest jungler, overtaking Wise, but doesn't wanna master Fanny. I mean as the greatest jungler, he should have no problems mastering Fanny right? He doesn't have to play at the level of Kairi or Raizen's Fanny, but at least play it with competence in big international events. Also, why didn't he use Hayabusa, Lancelot, or Nolan? Otherwise, maybe his title should be adjusted. He should be the greatest utility jungler, not assassin jungler nor overall greatest jungler. Maybe this is the reason why he recruited Kairi for the coming ENC 2026, so that in case it will still be assassin meta by that time, he could rely on Kairi for that event. As the defending MSC champions and a dynasty in MLBB with the GOAT in your team, you don't go out like that with two sweeps. Frankly, that was embarrassing.

Just Law and Logic Only: My Thoughts Why Duterte, Bato, and Responsible Parties Should be Arrested

First of all, according to a news article in 2023: "Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte said he would “face the music” and “rot in prison” after the International Criminal Court (ICC) rejected an appeal to postpone its probe into his bloody war on drugs. “Wala akong pakialam basta ginawa ko yung dapat kong gawin (I don’t care, as long as I did what I had to do),” said Duterte, speaking before the National Convention of the Philippine Prosecutor’s League in Davao City on Wednesday, March 29." From a legal perspective, public statements of defiance-such as declaring a willingness to 'rot in prison'-can be interpreted as an acknowledgment of the severe legal vulnerabilities surrounding the execution of the anti-drug campaign. While framed as a defense of state policy, such admissions provide critical context regarding the deliberate nature of the operations now being scrutinized by international jurists. It was for a good purpose, but the ways were wrong.

Secondly, with that statement, Duterte, Bato, and other responsible allies should be arrested by the ICC. Here are the reasons why:

  • Assuming that a local warrant is needed, then what if the next years or next administration the ex president or his political faction is still very influential, just like today, do you think a warrant will be issued? Take note since 2022, no warrants were issued just to arrest Digong, Bato, and company. Thats why the ICC stepped in to issue a warrant of arrest because precisely local courts failed to issue a warrant within reasonable time. He is very influential because with his brand alone, Robin was able to clinch Top 1 in the senatorial race, Camille Villar able to secure a spot when she was losing before transferring to Duterte's side, BBM was able to win the presidency because of his allegiance then with Sara, etc. Do you also recall the time Sara punched a sheriff just because he was just doing his duty? If a local warrant is needed, then that could potentially make the ICC useless, especially if the ex-president or ex-official is still powerful even after his term ended. In technical terms: The complete absence of local criminal prosecutions against high-ranking officials years after the alleged offenses-despite widespread documentation of the acts-constitutes a prima facie case of state unwillingness and functional inability under Article 17 of the Rome Statute. Because deep-seated political influence paralyzes the standard territorial machinery of the Revised Penal Code, the specialized, independent track of international enforcement under R.A. No. 9851 becomes the only viable pathway to satisfy the demands of justice. Under Article 17 of the Rome Statute, the ICC acts as a global safety valve that triggers only when a sovereign nation is genuinely unable or unwilling to prosecute.
  • Also, what if one would say that "if a local warrant isn't needed, it could be weaponized by the ruling powers to dispose or deport any major enemies." Well, that's precisely what Bato filed in the Supreme Court which it just rejected yesterday. If you feel that the case of deportation is unfair or has no grounds, then one can just simply file a TRO to the SC or a petition for certiorari. If an accused wishes to challenge an international arrest, the proper remedy is not to demand a local warrant, but to file for specific constitutional safeguards (such as petitions for Certiorari or Injunction) in Philippine courts. Although the Supreme Court is yet to release this coming Monday its reasoning why it rejected Bato's TRO, my opinion, theory or speculation is that there is probable cause for the case against him (via the countless documentations and statements) and the Supreme Court’s denial of the TRO suggests that the petitioners failed to demonstrate a clear, unmistakable, and imminent danger to their life or liberty that would justify stopping law enforcement action. While some commentators and allies highlighted the recent Senate shooting as a security threat, the court likely evaluated the circumstances surrounding Senator Dela Rosa’s sudden return to the chamber, the timing of the leadership change under Senate President Cayetano, and the statements of Sec. Remulla clarifying that the Senate itself was not under an institutional attack, concluding that a judicial halt to an international warrant was unwarranted. Looking at the timeline through the lens of circumstantial evidence, the political maneuvering is hard to ignore. Senator Dela Rosa’s sudden emergence from months of hiding precisely in time to cast a crucial vote for Senate President Cayetano-who now holds immense institutional power over the chamber-presents a highly convenient sequence of events. When you couple this with the coordinated live streams of allied senators, the historical PMA ties with OSAA Head Aplasca, and Sec. Remulla’s categorical statement that the Senate was not under an institutional attack, the narrative of an imminent security threat begins to look less like a legal justification for a TRO and more like strategic political staging. For emphasis: STRATEGIC POLITICAL STAGING. Meanwhile, In an interview with One PH's Aplikante on March 5, Dela Rosa said, "Hindi ako natatakot. Bring it on." So Mr. Senator Bato, nasan na yung tapang mo ngayon? Bring it on, wag kana magtago!
  • One might also say "Hindi na tayo member sa ICC." Well, in Pangilinan v. Cayetano (2021), the Supreme Court ruled that the Philippines' withdrawal from the Rome Statute did not erase its legal obligation to cooperate in proceedings that began before the withdrawal took effect. Meaning, the crimes committed before the withdrawal were still and until now under the jurisdiction of the ICC. Just imagine that President A committed warcrimes or crimes against humanity, how unfair would that be if he would escape accountability just because he withdrew membership from the ICC. That would create a way for acquittal for offenders to just withdraw from the ICC to prevent accountability.
  • And this Duterte/Bato saga isn't even the most extreme case of the intersection of domestic and international law. Because are you aware of the organization called UN Security Council? Do you remember the Kosovo Bombing Campaign (1999) — Operation Allied Force? During that time, good luck bringing Yugoslav and Serbian to the ICC because there was no ICC at that time. But do you recall the Nuremberg Trials? Yeah that was one of the earliest forms of the ICC back then before its birth. Also, in 2011, do you recall the NATO Intervention in Libya (2011) — Operation Odyssey Dawn? Even if the ICC was already in existence in 2011, good luck bringing Libya to the ICC during that time. That's why other nations intervened like the USA. The point here is this: There are two kinds of crimes you could commit while in your country - the territorial crimes like the RPC and the universal crimes like crimes against humanity. That's why the "local warrant theory" wouldn't hold. Although the Supreme Court is yet to decide whether it is really required, but I bet it would decide that a local warrant isn't needed, with precedents like R.A. No. 9851 and Pangilinan v. Cayetano (2021). But at least I appreciate the D-D-S for defending like that because it will help enrich Philippine legal jurisprudence and to be more specific about certain matters.

Cayetano (2021), the Supreme Court ruled that the Philippines' withdrawal from the Rome Statute did not erase its legal obligation to cooperate in proceedings that began before the withdrawal took effect. Meaning, the crimes committed before the withdrawal were still and until now under the jurisdiction of the ICC. Just imagine that President A committed warcrimes or crimes against humanity, how unfair would that be if he would escape accountability just because he withdrew membership from the ICC. That would create a way for acquittal for offenders to just withdraw from the ICC to prevent accountability.
  • And this Duterte/Bato saga isn't even the most extreme case of the intersection of domestic and international law. Because are you aware of the organization called UN Security Council? Do you remember the Kosovo Bombing Campaign (1999) — Operation Allied Force? During that time, good luck bringing Yugoslav and Serbian to the ICC because there was no ICC at that time. But do you recall the Nuremberg Trials? Yeah that was one of the earliest forms of the ICC back then before its birth. Also, in 2011, do you recall the NATO Intervention in Libya (2011) — Operation Odyssey Dawn? Even if the ICC was already in existence in 2011, good luck bringing Libya to the ICC during that time. That's why other nations intervened like the USA. The point here is this: There are two kinds of crimes you could commit while in your country - the territorial crimes like the RPC and the universal crimes like crimes against humanity. That's why the "local warrant theory" wouldn't hold. Although the Supreme Court is yet to decide whether it is really required, but I bet it would decide that a local warrant isn't needed, with precedents like R.A. No. 9851 and Pangilinan v. Cayetano (2021). But at least I appreciate the D-D-S for defending like that because it will help enrich Philippine legal jurisprudence and to be more specific about certain matters.

Some Truth About Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers! This day is special for them, isip mothers nato and ilaw ng tahanan.

But speaking of "ilaw ng tahanan," and pardon me to be frank, we all know dili tanang mothers kay bootan or kind or non-toxic. Yeah, one might argue nga "isa ra akoang inahan" or "kung wala siya wala ko", but being a mother doesn't give the right to abuse the child, poison the family, or bring harm to the child or family which is much worse.

Yeah, lets just say tanang girls naay pagka maldita or kuti, especially our moms, but ibang usapan na yan when the "ilaw ng tahanan" becomes the source of darkness. Being annoying or strikta is another thing, but being already toxic or harmful is an entirely different league. While bias jud sa atoa ang family members nato, but the moment imong relatives like first degree cousins, aside from other many non-relatives, dili na gani maka-uyon sa imo mama, well most likely naa najud niya ang problema.

Or the moment the mother violates the Anti-Child Abuse Law or VAWC Law. Yes, pwede mahimong offender ang mama sa VAWC. As per the Supreme Court, a mother who maltreats her child resulting in physical or psychological violence is not exempt from liability. The law is meant to protect children even when the mother is the abuser.

Naa pud ubang mama dira, bisan dako na ang anak, like late 20s to 30s, mura gihapon teenager ang treatment. In short, naa jud mga SELFISH MOMS. To be clear, unless obviously dangerous or illegal ang buhaton, ang mabuhat rajud sa mama kay guidance nalang sa kana nga age range.

Ang uban pud dira, gihimo as retirement plan or personal resource ang anak nga obligated jud daw ka mubuhi nila or muhatag jud daw dapat. Uban magbuot pa how personal funds will be utilized, like dapat dako dayon ang ihatag, dili ginagmay lang. Again, okay raka mu advice but ayaw pagbuot sa final decision sa anak esp if hinagoan na niya. Naay uban mupa dungog2x by saying "kita ang nagtanom pero lahi ang nag-ani." WTF. Uban dira pa victim dayun or mang-wenta nga nalimtan naba daw sa anak ang sacrifices sa mama. Lol. Well, nalimot pud si Toxic Mom nga you are not God nga PIRMING SAKTO.

To conclude, I know no matter how cruel, toxic, or evil a mom is, mama gihapon na nato. But the moment she becomes a burden or bringing trouble in our lives, motherhood is never a license to abuse or maltreat a son or daughter. And my personal take? Life is just too short for stupid toxicity, and I have no room for people like that, even if YOU ARE MY MOM. I will still love you, remember you, honor you, support you, but dili nako mukuyog nimo and dili ka maka dictate nako unsa ako buhaton. I give whenever I can and want or whenever necessary. Like what I said, mothers should be the "ilaw ng tahanan", not "kadiliman ng tahanan."

But for others nga swerte nga bootan ang mama or sakto ra ang pagka strikta or maldita, Im happy for you. Anyway, whether kind or toxic mother, Happy Mother's Day gihapon!

I remember watching a YT video. I forgot which channel. He basically said his theory that the matchmaking system is designed to usually limit your winning rate to 50-60%, unless you are exceptionally good with semi-pro or pro level skills. Also, he has a theory that if you are good player, like winning many MVPs in recent games, bad players will be paired with you for the next matches so that you will be the one to carry those bad players.

In other words, you are a smart student in your class and you are intentionally paired with dumb classmates in a group activity because the teacher is hoping you will be the one to carry those dumb classmates.

I can't wait for the day when the top officials of Moneytoon will be interviewed and will respond to the long-time allegations and complaints by the players. And the interview questions should not be given in advance.

Sa mag nagtapos dito ng college or currently in college, do you still recall your subject called "Logic"? Because now, that subject can save you from the lies and traps by various political factions. You cannot be easily fooled if you have studied that subject well in college. Because if you can recall, one of the topics in logic are fallacies. Philippine legal laws decide whether you are legally right or wrong, but the rules on logic decide whether you are illogical or not - walang bias dyan. Unfortunately, many people nowadays they commit fallacies, especially in politics - even the educated and professional ones all for the sake of defending their chosen political leader. Below are two of the most common fallacies committed recently.

1. Whataboutism (The Great Deflection)

The Issue: Sara Duterte’s Impeachment & Fund Misuse. 

The Argument: "Why all this focus on impeachment? How about the billions stolen from flood control under the Marcos administration?" 

Logical Breakdown: Even if the flood control scandal is real (and the 2026 audit suggests it is), it does not logically prove that the Vice President is innocent of misusing confidential funds. These are two separate crimes. 

Why it’s a sign of weakness: They are conceding the point. By saying "what about them," they are indirectly admitting, "Okay, we might have done it, but they did it too."

The "Fallacy Fallacy" Rebuttal

  • The Opponent's Defense: "You’re committing the fallacy fallacy! Just because my logic is 'whataboutism' doesn't mean the corruption in flood control isn't a more important fact than the impeachment."
  • Your Response: "Acknowledging your fallacy isn't about ignoring the flood control scandal—both can be true, and both deserve prison time. However, using one to distract from the other is a Red Herring. My point isn't that the VP is guilty because your logic is bad; it's that your argument provides zero evidence for her innocence. If she didn't misuse the funds, show the receipts. Pointing at the floods doesn't explain the missing confidential funds."

2. Cherry Picking (The Selective Truth)

The Issue: The Drug War & the International Criminal Court (ICC). 

The Argument: "The Drug War was a success because Davao City became the safest city and millions of users surrendered." 

Logical Breakdown: This ignores the thousands of extrajudicial killings and the 2026 ICC findings of "systematic" state-sponsored violence. It focuses on a small, contested success to mask a national disaster. 

Why it’s a sign of weakness: You only cherry-pick when the "whole tree" is rotten. If the policy were an objective success, you wouldn't need to hide the body count.

The "Fallacy Fallacy" Rebuttal

  • The Opponent's Defense: "Even if I'm cherry-picking, the 'safety' of Davao is still a fact. You're just using the 'fallacy fallacy' to dismiss a real-world success!"
  • Your Response: "The Fallacy Fallacy only applies if a conclusion is true despite poor logic. But in this case, your conclusion (that the Drug War 'worked') is actually invalidated by the missing data. In medicine, you can't claim a drug is a 'success' because it cured one person's cough while causing heart failure in ten others. By ignoring the systemic killings, your 'fact' about Davao is an incomplete truth, which in a legal context is a lie by omission. I'm not dismissing your fact; I'm revealing that your fact is not a representative sample of the reality."

When an opponent uses the "Fallacy Fallacy" defense, they are trying to force you to debate the truth of their distraction. Don't fall for it. Accept their distraction as a separate truth, but firmly point out that it has zero logical connection to the issue at hand. The side that uses the most fallacies is the side that cannot win on the main evidence.

So the next time you can hear someone say - "Why all this focus on impeachment? How about the billions stolen from flood control under the Marcos administration?" - now you know that is an illogical statement. But even if you try to enlighten that person, pero ayaw paring makinig, well better just avoid people na close-minded kasi wala kanang magagawa sa mga tao na yan. As the saying goes: "A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open." - Frank Zappa (often attributed to James Dewar)

Sa mga naay uyab dira, esp sa baguhay palang ni enter, pagbantay mo ana inyong uyab. Do not give everything - at least maintain some level of VIGILANCE. Dapat aware mo kung gaslighting bana or manipulation, especially if naglikay silag accountability. And to be fair, dili tanang acts kay gaslighting or manipulation, so one must know the difference.

For example, nibakasyon ang imo uyab kuyug sa iya family, pero sa 2 or 3 nights niya didto, esp naay signal didto, wala jud siya naka chat nimo maski gamay lang, esp if nag tagay2x siya with laptop by the beach. Dayun inig balik, the moment mangutana ka ngano, magpataka dayun blame nga "needy" daw ka. Lol. Ka oplok rasona. So ikaw pa hinuon ang sala instead of taking accountability. Calling your partner 'needy' for wanting more than a thumbs-up reaction to messages is a way to avoid talking about why you went silent. I’m not asking for your constant attention - I’m asking for basic respect when you clearly have the downtime. And it might get worse if wala siya naka chat nimo habang naa didto, pero sa laing opposite sex nga non-family naka chat siya. HAHA.

Another example, nag cheat imo uyab pero ikaw ang gi blame kay seloso daw ka or busy daw ka or dili daw ka enough para niya. Lol.

Another example, nikuyug siyag voluntary trip for multiple nights with her older male ESL student 1v1 adtos south, unya sa dihang ganahan ka mukuyug kay something feels off sa imoha (arang2x nalang mukuyug kaysa ipa cancel jud nimo), kalit lang siyag ingon nga controlling daw ka or possessive. Hahaha. Pagka obob.

So sa mga walay uyab dira, kakita nimo unsa ka complicated ang uyab2x? Masabtan raman ngano kay pagkabata nato wala raba ta gitudluan unsaon na pag handle. Maong if single paka, humana muna imo pagskwela until graduate naka or professional naka. Because as cleverly titled by Thomas Erikson in his three books: "Surrounded by Psychopaths"; "Surrounded by Idiots"; and "Surrounded by Liars." Yes, unfortunately we live in such a world and usahay maka jackpot ka nga ingonana imohang uyab maong if nag skwela paka avoid the potential drama of relationships by staying single.
