Military service doesn't inspire partriotism but breeds scalawags in uniforms

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Duterte-Carpio said “only the likes of Mr. Bello would think of mandatory military service for its citizens as arming them and telling them to kill” because for her, that actually “inspires patriotism in the youth.”

"I also emphasized the need for the youth to be prepared for disasters and become proactive community partners in rescue operations and in aiding victims of calamities."

Mandatory military service agad para maging proactive community partners? For both males and females? Talaga ba?

Military servitude inspires patriotism? Really? Iyan ba ang plataporma mo, bakit mo gagawin mandatory ito. Isip diktador, huwag kang mataray at matuto kang tumanggap ng  criticisms. Tulad ka rin sa ama mo?

My ROTC days did not even "inspire patriotism" in me. I just wanted the day to be over because I felt it was just wasting my time since I still needed to study for my other subjects. And all those days under the sun doing senseless stuff did not really gave me that patriotism because the officers were just taking advantage of their positions. Sa totoo lang, it doesn't inspire partriotism but breeds scalawags in uniforms. 

There are plenty of outreach programs and livelihood skills development that we can freely share with the youth. Also, there are already agencies in place to do just that.

Before you are called a certified rescuer, first responder, you undergo rigorous trainings and certifications. You can not just unilaterally claim that ROTC can create competent rescuers. She should stop floating ideas if she doesn't understand how it works.

You can be a regular Pinoy and still be patriotic. You don't need to join the military or even the ROTC.

Bakit niya pipilitin yong mga kabataan na mag mandatory military service, kung ayaw nila? Ano tayo?  Taga Communist China, North Korea? Yung Davao nga ay hindi niya maayos, buong Pilipinas pa.

That’s the only way she knows that can inspire patriotism? How about civil service? Yung mga na nag-take ng CWTS ngayong college ay walang patriotism? You are maybe confusing patriotism and fascism.

It's also hard to instill patriotism when the head of the state sucks up to other countries like China.

How do you inspire patriotism when you have leaders that kowtow to foreign countries that bully us and threatens our territorial integrity?  Or inspire helping community when we have leaders campaigning in other provinces during time of calamity?

Add the instability, low wages and living conditions, poor education system and work opportunities, rampant corruption and incompetency among government officials, etc., which doesn't really inspire love for this country. Priorities, priorities, priorities. You can start with our healthcare system or education system.

If you want patriotism, fix those first.

What will inspire patriotism is: seeing your leaders stand up to China, not military training -- seeing leaders with uncompromising principles, holding themselves accountable to the people not bossing them around.

Eh, si Digong nga yung giyera ang nasa isip kapag binabanggit ang WPS. Also, kung yun pala ang purpose, bakit hindi i-strengthen ang disaster mitigation and management ng bansa? Bakit kailangan sa inyo i-militarize lahat? Mga utak diktador.

I am sorry but there is no way I am endangering my children. Imagine an 18 year old responding to danger. Huwag naman please. Better to invest on good training for our men and women that are already in uniform. Or recruit more people and make this their permanent job. Please do not touch our children.

Bakit ba ang mga taga Davao official baliw na baliw sa mga militar service na yan? Kung ganoon ay mauna na sila at huwag na silang mandamay. Make it mandatory for the spoiled and entitled children of politicians and government officials.

Akala nila ay willing o kahit mag volunteer ang mga kabataan habang sila ang nakaupo sa puwesto? Wala pong gana mga kabataan kung alam nilang ninanakawan lang sila at nagpapakasasa mga nakaupo. 

Jusko, Sara. Sa bawat araw na nagpapaka VP ka kuno, lumalabas na authoritarian din ang style mo. In your case talaga, like father, like daughter. Kung ano ano na lang sinasabi. Haaaay. No  more of this please. 

I am sorry but there is no way I am endangering my children. Imagine an 18 year old responding to danger. Wag naman please. Better to invest on good training po ng men and women in uniform. Or recruit more people and make this their permanent job. Please not our children.

Mandating 'service' within the militarist framework only bolsters the subservient orientation of our education that is meant to foster docile citizens in the future—a precondition for unaccounted tyranny. Sara Duterte is no different from her despotic father.

Anyway, she's not my candidate for VP, or any position, and knocking the heavens to hear my plea that she would never win on 2022 and in any future.

The benefits of a Smart TV

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Smart TVs have slowly but surely begun to become essential within every household, in fact, within 2021, it was reported that 67% of households now own a smart TV which accurately shows how much they are dominating the TV market. However, some may ask, what is so great about a smart TV and what do they offer that a normal TV doesn’t? Let's jump straight into the benefits of a smart TV. 

 

Extended access to additional content

One of the main and most prominent benefits of a smart TV is the ability to access a wider range of content than a normal TV offers. With a standard TV, there is no ability to access the internet, therefore, streaming services are not an option unless you invest in a device that plugs into your HDMI that allows you to do so. Once they are set up, a smart TV gives the user access to a wide range of apps that are available for free download, and in most cases, the user should already have an account linked to the apps they wish to download and use. Apps such as Netflix, Hayu, Spotify, and YouTube are some of the wildly popular apps that smart TVs have to offer to give the viewer such a wide range of content for endless amounts of entertainment.

 

Still have access to live TV

Although a smart TV offers much more choice than a standard TV, a main benefit of a smart TV is that the viewer still has access to live TV. This makes it easier when purchasing a smart TV as smart TV prices are not as ridiculous as they were in the past and quite often, they are priced similarly to normal TVs, making it a no-brainer to purchase a smart TV over a standard TV.

Only reliant on one remote control

Clutter can be frustrating, especially when it comes to electronics. There is not much worse than having to depend on several devices to operate one device, and yes, we are referring to TV remotes! In the past, it is likely that we had a remote for our TV, our DVD player and not to mention whatever other devices were compatible with our TVs such as gaming devices like an Xbox or Nintendo Wii click here  for more. You know yourself that the clutter of different remotes was annoying and even more so when you lacked storage for them. With a smart TV, everything comes under the one remote, this means that there is less mess and accessing platforms is a whole lot easier for everyone. 

 

Easy to use 

Although a smart TV may sound complex to some, they are actually the complete opposite. Think about it, we all thought the same thing when the smartphone was released and now there is no looking back and they are such simple devices to use! The same goes for a smart TV. Setting up a smart TV is very much similar to setting up a normal TV and once the device has been connected to your home WiFi, you are all set to go! 

We Vax as One: Mobile Vaccination Drive

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) in partnership with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will be holding a mobile COVID-19 vaccination drive for commuters and transport workers at the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) from 24 January 2022 to 28 January 2022.

Dubbed as the “We Vax as One: Mobile Vaccination Drive,” the five-day activity aims to give the AstraZeneca vaccine brand as first, second, or booster doses. Those receiving their booster shots will be given priority.

Transportation Secretary Art Tugade said the vaccination drive intends to give 500 vaccine doses per day.

“Mahalaga po para sa atin na masigurong bakunado ang ating mga bayaning transport workers, lalo na at iba't-ibang lugar ang kanilang pinupuntahan, gayundin ang ibang stakeholders at mga commuters na kanilang nakakasalamuha sa araw-araw,” said Secretary Tugade.

Vaccinations at the PITX during the 5-day drive will be given from 8:00 a.m. until noon (12 p.m.) Those who want to be vaccinated are advised to proceed to Gate 4 at the PITX 2nd floor.

The vaccination drive is open for walk-in vaccinees with the registration to be done onsite.

To recall, the DOTr led a similar COVID-19 vaccination drive for transport workers for six consecutive weeks at the PITX that started on 31 July 2021.

Dubbed as “TsuperHero: Kasangga ng Resbakuna” last year’s vaccination drive was able to vaccinate public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers, conductors, and other transport workers. Participating in the vaccination drive was the DOTr Road Transport Sector, the Department of Health (DOH), the Mega Manila Consortium Corporation (MMCC), the Parañaque City government, and the PITX.

For that event, the MMCC converted five buses of which three were used to inoculate at least 1,000 transport workers every Saturday to reach the minimum target of 6,000 vaccinees.

The Parañaque City government meanwhile provided the first batch of vaccines for the vaccination drive with the remaining vaccine doses needed being sourced from the national government, under the nationwide vaccination program.
