Idiocy

English version of an email in tagalog that’s been circulating as translated by Osh of PFSG:
GALIT na GALIT

*******************************************
I can’t help it. The events in this country are making me puke!

Endless corruption, the endless criticisms, mudslinging and pissing
contests of politicians, the endless investigations of whatever issues
without any resolution, the relentless grabbing of power between
different political parties, the continuous rise of laziness and the
number of stupid Filipinos, endless clash of ideologies that have no
use whatsoever.

The Philippine government beats the septic tank that sucks Malabanan.
Overly dirty and it stinks. No wonder the Philippines is one of the
poorest and most corrupt countries in the world. That’s because they’re
all rotten, they’re all useless. They’re all hungry for power and
money.

ANAK NG !$#%Q!&!* @!!!!! (Son of a… )! 

Even though I’m Christian, I can’t help but curse and ask God (AND
EVEN THE DEVIL AT TIMES) for him to make them all die and then be
barbequed in hell for all eternity.

WHO ARE "THEY”? THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND WORKERS, OF
COURSE. THE ABLE-BODIED FILIPINO MEN WHO LOITER AROUND BUT DO NOT WORK
AND PAY TAXES, THE TAX EVADING RICH AND SHOWBIZ ACTORS, AND ACTIVISTS,
NPA AND OTHER IDEOLOGICAL GROUPS THAT DON’T PAY TAXES BUT CAUSE SO MUCH
TROUBLE!!! DIE, ALL OF YOU!!!

Politicians always say: fight for the masses! Help them out! Love the masses!

P!@*%&A! (Local cuss word) ARE THE MASSES THE ONLY ONES LIVING HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES?

WHO KEEPS THIS “P!@*%&ANG” COUNTRY ALIVE ANYWAY??

WHERE DO THE FUNDS THAT ARE USED TO BUILD BRIDGES AND ROADS COME FROM?
WHERE DOES PORK BARREL FROM ANYWAY? WHERE DO YOU GET THE MONEY THAT
YOU’RE STEALING?

FROM US THE WORKERS AND THE MIDDLE CLASS WHO, EVEN BEFORE WE GET IT,
HAVE DEDUCTIONS ALREADY IN OUR SALARY! WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE KEEPING
THIS WORTHLESS COUNTRY ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

WHY ARE THOSE MASSES ALWAYS THE CENTER OF POLITICIANS’ PLATFORMS? DO THEY PAY THEIR TAXES???!!!!

NOT ONE OF THEM,

NOT EVEN A PENNY IS REMITTED TO THE BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue [Similar to IRS])!

BUT DOES THE GOVERNMENT LISTEN TO US?

ITS ALWAYS THE OPINION OF THE MASSES THAT THE GOVERNMENT PAYS ATTENTION TO.

WHOEVER STAGES RALLIES, AT EDSA, THEY’RE THE ONES WHO ARE OBEYED.

WHOEVER SHOUTS THE LOUDEST BUT HAVE NO ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION, THEY’RE ALWAYS GIVEN FOCUS WHEN A PROBLEM ARISES.

THEY’RE ALWAYS THE HEROES.

WE THE ORDINARY OFFICE WORKERS, OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKER’S, LABORERS
AND ALL THE OTHER WORKING PEOPLE PAYING TAXES? WE’RE THE ONES WHO TOIL
TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY ALIVE. WE ARE THE TRUE HEROES OF THIS COUNTRY!!!

Whenever I see my pay slip, my temper rises and I just want to cry out
in fury. The tax that is deducted from me is overwhelming but they only
use the money, that I toiled for, for useless things.

All the belt-tightening that I do to support myself,

my family and this “punyetang” country. I can’t even buy a chicken or spaghetti meal at Jollibee despite my great hunger.

I have to be satisfied with a 10 peso waffle, or if I have some money,

junior bola-bola siopao (A local Chinese hamburger) in Mini-Stop (A convenience store like 7-11) worth 20 pesos.

If the money that I paid my taxes with went to me instead, I
could’ve gone to the movies twice in a month. I could’ve bought those
new rubber shoes.

I could’ve built my own house.

The tax that I’m paying for, most of that goes straight to the
pockets of corrupt workers and government officials. While I’m having
great difficulty in budgeting my money, the indulge themselves in their
mansions. They even drive in SUV’s and luxury cars, while I only ride
in a pedicab!

SONUVA @&$^#H! THAT’S MY MONEY THAT YOU’RE PLAYING WITH!!!!!

The tax that I’m paying for, that’s what you use to support the
impoverished. Where do you get the funds to build housing and help the
poor?

Doesn’t it come from workers who pay their taxes! But most of
those who are so-called poor, they come of as if they were overly
abused.

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, THE REASON WHY THESE PEOPLE GET POORER IS BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY!

There are too many loiterers out in the street that don’t have jobs
but have big bodies. If they only worked as a hauler in the pier they
would’ve earned some money.

AND TO THINK THAT THEY HAVE NO MONEY, THEY STILL CONTINUE TO MULTIPLY!

P!@*%&A! YOU’RE ONLY ADDING NUMBERS TO THE LAZY AND STUPID PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!!!!!

I feel sorry for those kids who spill out into the streets and beg.

Instead of getting an education, they only add to the future
criminals of the Philippines. I won’t be surprised if that kid I saw
begging in Cubao ends up as a celphone snatcher within a few years.

AND THE PARENTS OF THESE KIDS, COMMON SENSE PLEASE! YOU PEOPLE ARE
ALREADY HARD UP IN LIFE, YOU STILL WISH TO AFFECT OTHERS?! YOU’D STILL
ALLOW YOUR KIND TO MULTIPLY?!

You just have no jobs and have nothing better to do, that’s why you
just resort to tickling and teasing each other all day long, all night
long. Truth is, im impressed. That’s because even beneath a bridge or
on a push-cart,
you’re still able to make a child! That means the Filipino is full of ingenuity.

If he/she wanted to achieve something, he/she could find a way. Even
though its in cramped, smelly and dirty places? SOLVE (Local slang for
“Doable thus, considered done!”)!

Another group that infuriates me are the activists, NPA and whatever
ideological political groups. They say, they love the Philippines so
dearly that’s why they’re fighting for their cause.

P!@*%&A! YOU DON’T PAY TAXES AS WELL! YOU ALL HAVE SUCH THICK SKINS!

HYPOCRITES! THEY SAY THEY LOVE THE PHILIPPINES BUT THEY DON’T PAY TAXES!

IS THERE A BIR COLLECTOR IN THE MIDDLE OF MENDIOLA OR EDSA?! IS THERE TAX COLLECTION UP IN THE MOUNTAINS?!

YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO JOBS ANYWAY! IF YOU PEOPLE HAD JOBS, YOU WON’T GO TO RALLIES BECAUSE THEN YOU’D WASTE A DAYS PAY!

HOW COULD YOU SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR THE PHILIPPINES IF YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING DECENT BUT RALLY AND HEAD TO THE MOUNTAINS??!!!

ANOTHER GROUP’S THE RICH AND THE SHOWBIZ ACTORS, THAT CHEAT THEIR WAY
OUT OF PAYING TAXES. YOU ALL HAVE SUCH THICK SKINS! YOU ALREADY HAVE SO
MUCH MONEY YET YOU STILL CHEAT ON TAXES!!!! YOU CAN’T BRING YOU MONEY
TO HELL ANYWAY??!! IT WOULD ALL JUST BURN THERE.

THAT’S WHY BUSINESSES CONTINUE TO PLUMMETT IN THE COUNTRY, BECAUSE OF
BUSINESS FOLK WHO CHEAT. PLUS THE SHOWBIZ INDUSTRY’S GOING DOWN AS
WELL. KARMA—THAT’S WHAT YOU CALL IT. THAT’S BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL
SCOUNDRELS.

I hope there would be a POLITICAL AND NATIONAL CLEANSING.

Remove (better if they kill ‘em) all the politicians and political
families in power. Demolish all the destructive organizations and
groups. Exile all the lazy Filipinos in a distant island or force them
to do hard labor. Separate the kids from their lazy and stupid parents
so that they could learn and be taught how to be good persons and
citizens. Let there be a new leader without any political ties—for the
love of God, anyone! And most of all, only taxpayers should be allowed
to vote!

If there has to be a war for the Filipinos to get disciplined, fine.
People here are already too hard headed. They want freedom, but they
can’t owe up to the responsibility in being free. They say there are
principles and goals to fight for but they’re afraid to die for these.

(To all those who know the anime Gundam Wing, That’s my inspiration
for the new Philippines hehe. I love you Zechs! I love you Treize!)

Until there’s radical change, the Philippines would continue to be
useless and majority of Filipinos would continue to be stupid.

With such a large number of Filipino migrants leaving for other
countries, the time will come wherein the people with brains in this
country would simply be a minority.

The talented Filipinos, are probably on the verge of extinction.
That’s because they’re all frustrated already and are depressed due to
what they see around them.

A few more years and I too will be leaving the Philippines. I don’t
plan on having a family no more in a country that doesn’t give worth to
the contribution of people that keeps it alive. How I would pity my
child if he or she were to live here.

To tell you the truth, I’m broken hearted. I loved this country too.

I’d convinced myself to defend it even though it’s rotten. I’ve been to
other countries, but then I chose to return. But now, I’m through with
it. I surrender.
I’ll be a waste in this country. My wishes are simple.

I just want to live in peace and with order. I just want, in any way
whatsoever, to be able to be proud of the Philippines. But alas, this
country’s doomed to be “jologs” (Street slang for ghetto posers).

I know that there’s still many believing in and hoping for change. Good luck
and God bless! I hope you’re right and I’m wrong.
