Pinoy Pasaway Series #5

Presenting Mountain Top Experience's newest Pasaway baby: Lito Atienza!


Even as the Department of Health has advised Pacquiao not to go home as planned on Friday, May 7, 2009, after his devastating win over Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas, Atienza comes to the rescue and disputes the DOH's advise.

The DOH has very good reasons, though, as to why they issued an advisory-that is to avoid a possible entrance of the H1N1 Influenza virus in the country.

Atienza states,

"He is healthier than most of us,” Atienza said. “He could be the healthiest Filipino now.”

Sige na nga, Sec. Atienza. Malusog nga siguro si Manny. Pero lahat ba ng entourage niya ay masasabi mong kasing-lusog ni Manny? Ilan ba ang amuyong na kasama ni Manny pag-uwi sa Pilipinas?

With due respect, Sir, Sec. Atienza. You are putting the entire country into a very risky situation.


Pasaway ka!

Pinoy Pasaway Series #4

Following the news that Dra. Vicki Belo already apologized over her "joke" on Boy Abunda, radio show host Jobert Sucaldito involved himself into the issue.

Jobert Sucaldito comments: “Joke lang? Ikaw ang joke, Vicki Belo. Hindi mo na nga mabukas ang isang mata mo.”

Nagpasaway sa joke si Vicki, mukhang mas nagpasaway naman si Jobert.

Haba ng hair!

Dude, Where's My Car?

Stolen’ car of tipsy cager recovered
By Julie M. Aurelio
Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines – A basketball player for Talk N’ Text was red in the face after he reported the loss of his car to the Quezon City police just before dawn Sunday.

The 26-year-old cager, Abraham Santos, who admitted that he had a few drinks, eventually learned that his silver sports car was parked just a few blocks away.

“He probably forgot that someone had borrowed his car. When he looked outside for it, he thought someone had stolen it,” said Insp. Angelo Nicolas of the Quezon City Police District.

Nicolas, head of the QCPD’s anticar theft unit, said his men checked the area of Tomas Morato Extension early morning Sunday to verify if the vehicle was indeed missing.

But to the surprise of the policemen, the “stolen” car was found just a few blocks away with all its accessories and parts intact.

Santos reported the “carjacking” incident to the police at around 5:46 a.m. Sunday.

But what Santos appeared to have forgotten was that he allowed a friend of his, a certain “Tito Caloy,” to borrow his car. Caloy then parked the vehicle four blocks away in front of a coffee shop.

Monday morning, Santos was allowed to bring home his silver Mitsubishi GSR after he presented the papers for the vehicle to anticar theft operatives.

Kwento nang isang teen-ager na nagnakaw nang motorsiklo:

Bike thief makes series of mistakes…
…until finally arrested by police
By Julie M. Aurelio
Philippine Daily Inquirer

For committing one blunder after another, an 18-year-old was arrested by Quezon City policemen on Saturday.

The unlucky man was identified as Ramon Igay, a resident of P. Basilio Street in Pasay City.

According to the police, Igay’s first mistake was stealing a motorcycle that had been left in front of his house.

While driving the vehicle on his way to Novaliches, the teenager committed his second mistake: He ignored a group of policemen who tried to flag him down on North Avenue.

In his haste to escape from the pursuing lawmen, Igay made yet another mistake: He turned right into the North Luzon Expressway where motorcycles are banned.

Insp Angelo Nicolas of the Quezon City Police District’s anticar theft unit said it was only after they caught up with Igay that they discovered he had stolen the blue Honda Wave motorcycle with license plate 4360 DP.

Nicolas said his men flagged down the teenager because his motorcycle did not have a registration sticker from the Land Transportation Office.

Nakakalungkot. Isipin mong isang 18 years old na bata ay natututo nang magnakaw at maging pasakit sa lipunang ginagalawan. Kung susuriin nga naman, sino ang dapat maging responsable sa mga ganitong pangyayari? Ang mga magulang? Ang gobyerno? O ang mismong taong nagkasala sa pagnanakaw?

Anu't anupaman, ang mga ganitong kaganapan ay patuloy na nangyayari sa iba't ibang dako nang Pilipinas.

Nakakalungkot.

Pinoy Pasaway Series #1

Kung minsan, hindi na kailangan nang mahabang eksplanasyon para maipaliwanag ang pagiging pasaway ng mga Pilipino.




Madalas, ang karakter na ito ay nagkalat sa ating paligid. Tahimik na bumubungad sa mga mata natin ngunit hindi natin napapansin dahil nga "nakagawian na" o nasanay na tayo sa mga ganitong pangitain.

Pinoy Pasaway Series

Ang Introduksiyon

Ilang beses ko ring pinag-isipan kung dapat ko bang umpisahan itong series na ito sa aking blog. May posibilidad kasing maging tampulan nang pagkamuhi mula sa mga kapwa-pinoy kapag nakita o nabasa nilang inilalathala pa ang mga kahinaan ng Pinoy.

Subalit naghuhumiyaw ang katotohanan na tunay ngang napakaraming kahinaan ng pinoy.

Ang sabi nang ilan ay kailangan mong kilalanin ang iyong kaaway upang ikaw ay magwagi laban sa kanya. Sa ganitong kaliwanagan, pipilitin kong mangalap nang mga artikulo, kwento, sanaysay at balita na magpapakita nang pagiging pasaway ng mga Pilipino. At sa pamamagitan nito, nawa'y makita natin kung paano natin mapagtatagumpayan ang kahinaang ito.

Tara! Umpisahan natin ang pagdiskubre sa ating mga sarili.

Pinoy, pasaway ka bang talaga?
