The Sad Truth About Manny Villar's Jingle

Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura?

Nag-Pasko ka na ba sa gitna ng kalsada?
Yan ang tanong namin…
Tunay ka bang isa sa amin?

Nalaman mo na bang mapapag-aral ka nya?
Tutulungan tayo para magkatrabaho?
At kanyang plano’y magkabahay tayo?

Si Villar ang tunay na mahirap.
si Villar ang tunay na may malasakit.
Si Villar ang may kakayahan
At gumawa ng sariling pangalan.

Si Manny Villar ang magtatapos
ng ating kahirapan.

My first reaction when I saw this ad was: “This is fucking insulting.” This guy thinks that the Filipino people will fall for this song number. I mean anyone with half a brain knows that the point of bathing is to get cleaned, so why the hell would you take a bath in a place dirtier than you are? And any sane hobo won’t consider sleeping let alone spending Christmas in the middle of the road... Seriously have you seen anyone in the right mind hanging out in the middle of the street? No, they hang out in the sidewalk.

But the sad truth is, after a month or so, everyone and his sister is singing this fucking song in unity. What the hell is happening? Somehow the Filipino people don’t care about the senselessness of this song and only cares about the catchy tune. This just confirms that the intellect of the Filipino mass is… (you finish the sentence.)

This is really sad, like when you realize that Santa Claus isn’t real. It make a guy lose faith in something really important… like the faith in the Filipino people. My hopes of Success here in the Philippines is now hanging on a string.and that string will snap If Villar wins.

The truth is this jingle symbolizes the neck deep shit the Filipino mass is in today. The fact that the people can be persuaded by something this futile simply means that they can be fooled by a more clever scheme. In my opinion, every Filipino with average IQ should be insulted with the way the big guysare manipulating the masses.

Tips Para Makatipid sa Inuman

Here are some things that I realized after waking up with a bad hang over. Kung gusto nyong magpakabasag sa inuman pero 100 lang ang pera nyo, eto ang ilang tips:

1. I-set ang budget bago uminom. Alamin kung ano-ano at magkano ang dapat bilin (alak, chaser, pulutan, yosi) bago pumunta sa tindahan. Stick to your budget, maglabas ng saktong pera. wag ka ng dudukot sa pitaka, baon mo pa yan bukas.

2. Know your limits. kung tatlo lang kayong iinom, tama na yung isang litro. Kung di kayo malalasing don, see tip number 3.

3. Unleash hell. kung ubos na ang alak at mahina pa ang amats, gumawa ng bagay na nakakahilo at/o nakakapagod. Magsoundtrip - magheadbang, magsayaw, magsisigaw. Pwede din magsex nakakapagod yun. Maya maya hilo ka na, masusuka ka pa, diba yun naman ang point kung bakit nag-inuman?

4. Learn from the experts. gawahin ang mga tricks na ginagawa ng matatanda. Example, yung sinisindihang gin, hindi na makati sa lalamunan, mura pa. Pag kalagitnaan na ng inuman, Fortune nalang ang sindihan, wala na ring pinagkaiba sa marlboro yun pag bangenge ka na.

5 Ang pinakaefective na natuklasan ko: TAGAYIN ANG PULUTAN! mag-assign ng tanggero ng pulutan. kung cornik o mane o chichirya ang pulutan, tama na yung 2 o 3 pcs per tagay, ilagay to sa takip ng alak at ibigay kasama ang alak at chaser.
