Dagohoy

It was the first day of school in Dallas, Tx and a new student named Dagohoy, the son of a Filipino immigrant, entered the fourth grade. The teacher began, "Let's review some American history, class. Who said 'Give me liberty or give me death?'"She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Dagohoy's who had his hand up,"Patrick Henry, 1775.""Very good," said the teacher.

"Who said 'Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth'"? Again, no response except from Dagohoy: "Abraham Lincoln,Gettysburg, 1863," he said.

The teacher snaps at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed, Dagohoy who is new to our country knows more about our history than you do."

She hears a loud whisper from the back: "Screw the Filipinos." "Who said that?" she demanded.Dagohoy put his hand up. "General John Pershing, Manila, 1896."

At that point, Jack, another student says, "I'm going to puke." The teacher glares and asks, "All right! Now who said that?"

Again Dagohoy answers, "George Bush, Sr. to the Japanese Prime Minister during the state dinner, Tokyo, 1991."

Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!!

"Dagohoy jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher at the top of his voice, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, the Oval Office, 1997!!"

Someone shouts, "You little shit if you say anything else, I'll kill you."

Dagohoy yells, "Congressman Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, Washington, D.C., 2001!"

The teacher faints. "I'm outta here!" mutters one student as he sidles to the door."President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Baguio City, December 30, 2002!!" Dagohoy responds.As the class gathers around her on the floor, someone says, "Oh shit, now we're really in big trouble!"

"Saddam Hussein, on the Iraq invasion, Baghdad, May 2003!" Dagohoy bellowed.

"Now, I really have to run," Jack mutters, heading for the exit, "Gloria Macapagal Arroyo again, Pampanga, October 4, 2003!!!".

Dagohoy shouts triumphantly jumping with glee.

Then a burly African-American boy grabbed Dagohoy and strangled him, about to give a fistful to a frightened Dagohoy.

Then an Asian boy stood up and shouted, "Hey easy on him. I'M A FILIPINO!"

Dagohoy then blurted out before he got socked out, "Fernando Poe, Jr. Manila, January 2004!!!"

La DIVA Kolokay

La DIVA Kolokay has earned the ire of bloggers and rightly so why should bloggers not get so fired up at the FAT lady that never sings……. that’s why it ain’t over, lol.

What this lady has done and is saying in her column hopefully does not show exactly the mindset of the ruling elite in the land of cheats. Insensitive, callous, unfeeling snobs who look at the people in the so-called lower strata of society as less of a human being. How else can we explain the stupidity and dumbness of this society run by a few ignorant fools who despite reports of abuses and runaway OFWs overcrowding our respective consulates still has the gall to promote “Super Maids”?

How can these lard errr larger than she is self proclaimed Diva and Fashionista poke fun at OFWs when right this very minute we have a certain “Melissa” being raped by her employer, son and his pervert buddies kept as a sex slave?

There are unconfirmed reports that this lady is the Sister of Vicky Zubiri, mother of unbedolable winner Mike Zubiri. This is a new senator who will be there for 6 years who will feed on pork barrel. Poor Pilipinas……….. While majority of its people are wallowing in poverty scraping and hardly had nothing to afford 3 meals a day we see an OVERFED sorry excuse of a human being insulting the very people that props up a sinking economy due to mismanagement and rampant corruption of the so called elites and “educated” sector of our society.

Due to the massive response and reactions that has been generated by the Malu Fendandez article that can be found HERE, HERE and THIS lame bigoted response she really deserves an award (I stole this from InstaPundit, sorry about that guys but her being a proud member of a political family she really deserve this award) from this Political Jaywalker.

Ok, I know some bloggers will probably say I am hitting below the belt and I have stooped down to her level with this oink oink hall of shame award...... well tough luck because I really don't care what others will say. For her malicious insult and belittling of OFWs and being part of a political family that she shamelessly brags in her column I say you deserve all the insult and below the belt response you are getting.

For those of you bloggers out there that was not in the list (I picked this up at technorati) please email the Political Jaywalker so I can include your entry and blog name on this entry. Below are the list of entries of bloggers wanting to shave off some fat errr saying their piece in reaction to the article bashing the OFWs and her response that got her in deeper trouble:
