Yellow Cult in the Philippines

politics

Why do they need to put a yellow ribbon in a government property?

Has the yellow ribbon become an official Philippine symbol?

Or is the Philippines now a home of the Yellow Cult?

 

No thanks, Yellows!

The “Tito Sotto” Problem

internet concerns/blogging, politics

At first, he vehemently denied copying parts of his speeches from Sarah Pope’s blog.

His Chief of Staff nailed him when he arrogantly “apologized” to the blogger in her own blog acknowledging that the Senator’s speech indeed contains passages from her own blog. And he is a lawyer… tsk… tsk.. tsk

Then, Tito Sotto tried to put her down as a “blogger lang yan” (she’s just a blogger).

Caught by his own staff’s admission, he now has this temerity to say about Sarah Pope and her blog:

“Ang tanong doon may copyright ba iyong blog niya? Kung may copyright iyong blog niya, either dapat mag sorry ako or mag-apologize ako. Or idemanda niya ako (The question is, is her blog covered by a copyright? If the blog has copyright, either I say sorry or I apologize. Or she can sue me),” said Sotto.

The arrogance of it all!

“I’m Sorry” would have made him a greater man.

His arrogance emphasized his showbiz roots.

Jasmine Lee’s Education

life in korea, pinoys in korea, politics

I left Korea a few days ago with a positive feeling that Philippine-born Jasmine Lee will become the first foreign-born Congresswoman comes second week of April, after South Korea’s election. She is South Korea’s Ruling Party’s number 15 candidate representing Multiculturalism and Single Parent sectors.

But just today, Jasmine Lee’s education is a hot subject in South Korean’s internet environ. To better explain it, here’s Betchay’s (of Buhay sa Korea) post:

 

Currently, Jasmine Lee is trending as the hottest topic on Korea’s cyberspace. The bad thing is, people are talking about an alleged “education forgery” scandal. They said that in one TV show on KBS2, she (or the caption) claimed that she went to medical school.

Jasmine Lee could’ve been misquoted, Jas’ candidate profile, trending on Daum

It could’ve been the difference in our educational system that was the problem. In the Philippines, one has to attend pre-Medical school first before the Medical proper for a total of eight (8) years education. It is quite different here in Korea. As far as I know, they didn’t have a pre-Med here until a few years ago. They also didn’t have pre-Law courses here until a few years ago.

The press could’ve misunderstood Jasmine when she said that she was in pre-Med. They could’ve translated it to mean Medical school. There is no intention of defrauding the public when JASMINE LEE 이자스민 HONESTLY listed on her profile that she went to Ateneo De Davao and studied BS Biology (considered a pre-Med course) for three school years.

The caption on the photo when she guested on the KBS2 show could also have been a mistake, not by her own doing. I didn’t watch the show so I couldn’t really comment. However, this reminded me of Lee Da Hae who was hated by a lot of Filipinos when she spoke English with an “Asian” accent. Too bad for her that the caption showed the Philippine flag and the name of the country in Korean. Remember that?

Since Jasmine attended Ateneo de Davao, here is a fact about their pre-Med course:

Q: What is the pre-med course in Ateneo? A: The BS Biology program is the course generally taken by Ateneo students in preparation for medical school. On the whole, 100% of the graduates of BS Bio have been admitted to Davao Medical School and top medical schools of the country.

I hope her party will release a statement soon to clear this up.

 

Among her Filipino friends, Jasmine has always been honest and vocal about her education. Let this be a time for Filipinos in South Korea to help spread the correct information above and explain the difference in the education system between our country and theirs.

Cheers!
