Ratings. Jeez.

I have always been fascinated and irritated about the way of life here in the Philippines:

people like to make a fuss out of everything, and they like to make sequels out of anything, and they choose to be copycats rather than to be innovators.

There goes the Part II of the mutiny, which is now being celebrated in Makati. Take care, Zippy.
It is no surprise that they did it once again in a hotel. They love hotels, don't they? Surely they must have never been to one when they were young. They must have been fed up of the basakan and the palayan during their younger days. Pity them.

Furthermore, it is no surprise that the same people are doing it again.

Filipino voters, thank you so much.

See? Look at some mutineer-cum-useless politician. You let him win the elections. Yet what is he doing right now? For the benefit of the Filipino nation daw? For a new Philippines? When? How?!
He's merrily and crazily expressing his anguish and desire for power that emanate from nowhere but from his superfluous ego.

Sila-sila nga talaga. Them, the power-hungry, intelligent-but-baluktot-ang-pag-iisip military personnel, and politicians who should actually be superannuated and sent immediately to hell. Might as well close down the Philippine Military Academy to completely stop breeding potential evildoers.

America, please colonize this country once more. Spain? Why not not add another 333 years of your presence here?

When will they stop?

Can't they just cooperate and help each other bring back this f****** country back on the right track?

Truly, pursuit of self-interest knows no bounds.
Pare-pareho lang silang lahat.
Manipulate. Manoeuvre. Under-the-table transactions. Intimidate. Murder.
It's the same old routine.

And it's sickening.

I am very fascinated of the ratings war going on between ABS-CBN and GMA 7.

It's such a profitable business, I just realized.
Try to build a shop, a shop where people can fight over which station is number one, or which station's programmes are being watched by more people..
It's going to be a lucrative and wonderful business venture.

Sixteen years after ABS-CBN dominated the country, GMA 7 suddenly comes knocking the former out of the Pinoys' TV screens. It is undeniable that the latter is enjoying its marginal lead, and of course, as a corporation, reaping huge revenues brought about by the hugely successful ratings of its shows.

And in the few years ahead, of course, will see the greatest ratings battle that will have ever occurred in Philippine TV. More and more people will be drawn to this circus, more and more people will be interested to follow the events of this war, and more and more people will be divided between the Kapamilya and the Kapuso.

And these tv stations will be penchants for copycats and yung mga walang originality.

Umm.. Marimar? hahaa
so ano na naman sa sunod, Chabelita? Rosalinda? or Prisonbreak? ano, Muntinlupa-break?
And please, when you make game shows, make sure that they are WORTH watching, and give money WORTH winning.
And please, get newscasters who can tell news without having to sing in irritating and fluctuating tunes.
And please, stop exaggerating your wins. It makes you sound more unreliable.

At 'yung mga dumedepende na lang sa sequels... Part 2? 1.5? Baka sa sunod may part 3.1416 na kayo ha.

Did I sound like I was siding one station? Hmm... not really. :)

I must admit, their shows should now be put under 'quality control'.
The shows are getting worse, and meaningless!
Lastikman, Whammy, and Zaido especially... baduy!

Can't they produce good shows? Sayang ang kuryente eh!



Good thing I have cable TV.
