New Philhealth Chief is Suspected Davao Death Squad Member Dante's Gieran

Wazzup Pilipinas!

With regards to former NBI Director Dante Gieran being appointed as new Philhealth head

Just look at that photo and his fist bump....He is obviously a DDS.

Duterte's strategy is to appoint trusted allies, especially the ones from Davao, regardless of the lack of qualifications, in order to have loyal friends to protect him from any future uprising. Observe that majority of his cabinet members are from the military, or the ones who supported him throughout the past years or during his campaign for President, and the ones he could easily control. Survival instinct is priority regardless if the appointed ones are not fit for the job. So what do you expect of performance if most are not qualified and were brought out of retirement?

Naturally he'll pick his friends, who will be his ally. It doesn't matter to him if they"re old and nearing senility, still need to be trained or tutored of how to do their job, what matters most is his primary objective - keep every agency of the government under his control.

Gieran was pointed as a member of the Davao Death Squad (DDS) as accused by Edgar Matobato, a self-confessed member of the DDS, who once testified that Gieran led the capture and killing of a man who was fed to a crocodile.

Even when he was still mayor of Davao City, President Rodrigo Duterte was at the receiving end of allegations pertaining to violations of human rights.

He has long been linked to the infamous Davao Death Squad (DDS), a vigilante group alleged to be behind the extrajudicial killings in Davao City.

Matobato claimed that Duterte and his son, Davao Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte, were behind some of the killings.

If the accusations is true, there could be other crimes committed by Gieran.

Ber Months: Jose Mari Chan Rewrites Song to be Apt with the Quarantined Times

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Whenever I see girls and boys selling lanterns on the street I remember the child in the manger as he sleeps"

Ilonggo songwriter Jose Mari Chan has also “rewritten” his classic hit “Can We Just Stop and Talk Awhile” to lighten the mood amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He changed the lyrics to be appropriate for the new normal, adding words such as Internet, surfing and chat, FaceTime, and quarantine.

Chan is also known for his Christmas classic “Christmas in Our Hearts” which has been the subject of various social media memes.

BTW, this year marks the 30th year of Christmas in our Hearts and tomorrow is the start of the Christmas season here in the Philippines! I can't wait to hear Jose Mari Chan's voice again. I can almost hear his voice come September 1.

The 3 most famous characters during Christmas season:

1. Jesus Christ
2. Santa Claus
3. Jose Mari Chan

Hope we will have better days in the Ber months inspite of the Corona virus (Covid-19) still lingering in the air.

Pero bakit nung nakita ni Jose Mari Chan yung girls and boys selling lanterns on the street, ang naisip niya si baby Jesus,  at hindi yung unjust society that made kids have to work to survive? Lol!

Because probably baby Jesus is also a casualty of an unjust society. Being born on a stable manger due to poor parents.

According to the Bible stories, Joseph, a descendant of David, was born in Bethlehem. And in that time, a decree from Rome stated that there will be a census, so technically, Joseph and Mary were required to go to Bethlehem for them to be listed as part of the population.

The prophet Isaiah already prophesized that Jesus will be born in a manger? As per scripture, it is all in God's plan. Jesus was sent to earth not to fight the sin who is the real oppressor.

But most probably, it was also because of atrocities not highlighted by the church, like the Roman Imperial government requiring them to pay absurd taxes in Bethlehem. Why else would they travel at the height of Mary's pregnancy if it wasn't life and death. The child Jesus had to be born in a manger because there was no more room in any inn in Bethlehem during peak season because Joseph and Mary had to pay taxes to a foreign imperial government and mandatorily travel miles from the comfort of their home at the height of Mary's pregnancy.

Rumor has it that Jose Mari Chan romanticized child labor in that particular song. He is said to be a capitalist, and a union buster, a labor rights violator thus we should cancel him and find other Christmas songs instead because we shouldn't tolerate any capitalist.... and yes this is also political.

He and his family are in business and have been implicated in union busting since 2004.

Ahhh yes. The song is romanticizing poverty as if being poor is a gift from God kasi pag mahirap ka sa lupa, yayaman ka raw sa langit.

Baby Jesus was LITERALLY born in a manger, sabsaban. Not even in an inn. Is He not representative of an unjust society in His times? Ipapanganak ka pa lang may injustice na sayo, sa nanay mo?

Actually, you cannot separate Jesus and i justice. If you're a Christian and you understood and lived the life of Jesus - from his birth to his death, and even His disciples' ministry, you cannot separate the concept of social justice.

Injustice nga yun. Kakapanganak pa lang naka experience na ng injustice si Jesus. The greatest and last was His crucifixion.

Pero bakit pati kanta ginagawan ng issue? Ang tagal tagal na nito? I sold lanterns on the street when I was a kid but not because I had to... so, dapat di tayo nag-aassume agad. Hindi na lang din ako magka-caroling kahit kelan, kahit anong taon! Nakaka-stress na pala kahit ang Christmas songs ngayon. Just enjoy the memes. Lol!

The Filipino excitement for Jose Mari Chan in heralding the Ber Months can be a testimony of our overflowing love for Christmas, on which as his song goes, "This season may we never forget, the love we have for Jesus."

December 25 belongs to Jesus Christ.

But the days leading to that -- starting from September 1 up until the last minute of December 24 -- all these still belong to Jose Mari Chan.

#SingingForThePresident trending because of government's atrocities

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"The President who stood for the people now needs 'us' (the people) to also stand for him during uncertain times. Let us show him our love, the love of the majority of the Filipinos who sing his praises for the good he has done for our country."

A group of DDS holds a virtual concert titled #SingingForThePresident as its tribute to what they call President Rodrigo Duterte’s "tireless effort" amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

#SingingForThePresident is trending but not because artists like Freddie Aguilar will be singing for Duterte as a tribute to his "tireless efforts" in fighting COVID19.

BIGGEST. EYEROLL. EVER.

They misquoted.... He’s “tired and effortless!!!”

#SingingForThePresident is trending because of images of and links to all this government's atrocities most especially about the victims of Duterte’s extrajudicial killings disguised as a drug war.

Kian, Raymart & Carl were not the only minors killed in the 1st yr of his war on drugs, at least 54 others died.

Althea Barbon. Her dream was to become a cop. When the police bullets hit her delicate body and killed her and her father, she was only four years old.

Kian delos Santos. He was a high school student. Duterte’s police said they shot him in self-defense. But video shows they dragged him into a dark alley and executed him. He died in fear kneeling and covering his head.

Aldrin Castillo. He was killed despite stopping his drug use years before, according to his mother, Nanette Castillo. Aling Nanette has been actively speaking up on extrajudicial killings until now. She lamented how the poor is easily killed.

Erica Fernandez. Her friends called her Angel. She was a school student who was shot to death by Duterte thugs. She was wearing a Hello Kitty watch and held a Barbie doll at the time of her murder.

Zara Alvarez. She was a teacher who loved seafood and worked tirelessly to help the poor. Duterte’s thugs shot her to death on the street for her Human Rights advocacy.

Randy Echanis. He was tortured and killed inside his rented house along with a still unidentified neighbor, in Novaliches.

“In Davao, I used to do it personally...” - Duterte

Don’t forget about the Gemver fishermen left for dead by the Chinese. The jobless jeepney drivers. The exhausted healthworkers. And a lot more.....plus the blatant misogynistic words and women objectification coming out from the mouth of the highest ranking Philippine official.

Remember it's West Philippines Sea not South China Sea. Then all of a sudden Manila is a province of China. Duterte respects China but disrespects the Philippines and the Filipino people.

The President looks so tired. So tired that he can do these to his own countrymen.

When I first saw the hashtag I thought Pres. Duterte is dead, at may pa-tribute ang mga DDS. Kaso, wala man lang bang pa, kape at biscuits?

Are they planning to be comedians? Pina-trending lang ng trolls yan.

Seriously, are Freddie and those DDS living on the same planet and talking about the same Duterte?

Well, it's true that Duterte has shown "tireless" efforts, as in walang gulong. Kaya hindi na tayo umusad sa fight against Covid-19.

Duterte had done nothing except ask for more budget, more loans and sign for them without even laying grounds for a good outbreak management plan.

So whats the point of this #SingingForThePresident?? Desperate last minute efforts to rebuild the image of the inutile president?

Don't ever forget about the many "collateral damage" who died because of "nanlaban" or just plain trigger happy policemen.

Not only were those who were suspected into drug trade and use who died in the war on drugs of Duterte and who were deprived of the due process of law, the equal protection before the law and the chance for redemption, it also did not spare children.

One must be held accountable for the death of the innocent children during this fake drug war, and that is none other than the president himself!

#SingingForThePresident is filled with cult members who chose to kiss the ass of the most incompetent “leader” who is “working” from home instead of raising funds to aid the debts of the country or to help those who are suffering because they got hit hard by this crisis.

Karamihan diyan mga nakikinabang ngayon, napasweldo dahil sa appointed position or nabigyan ng business deals.

There is no more dangerous threat to civilization than a government of incompetent, vile and corrupt men.

Tonight pro-authoritarian DDS are #SingingForPresidentDuterte. But I wonder #Duterte, ‘Do You Hear the People Sing?’ Because they’re the ones you should be listening to.

"If [drug suspects] pull out a gun, kill them. If they don't, kill them still, son of a whore, so it's over, lest you lose the gun. I'll take care of you." - Duterte
