Delving so much on the matter makes the avoidable inevitable:

A WAR OF NATIONS…

Apologies were given, so just call it quits ok?

Not much of a point dragging the issue so much that it’s making a mess it shouldn’t cause…

Then, after we see the mess ALL of us has done we’ll start pointing fingers again…

It’s pointless to judge a nation just by one individual, that’s stereotyping…

The same goes to us as well…

Tigilan na po natin kasi sa huli wala din mananalo sa awayang yan, magdudulot lang yan ng mas maraming problema…

PEACE TO ALL…

The actual message here is for the government of Philippines and on the side US……… the message is actually exposing the plights of the Filipino workers – instead of focusing on another war and providing income to US gov……..how about improving the plights of the Domestic Workers and OFWs in general!!!!!!! The Philippine government should instead focus their resources and energy on the plight and improvement of well being of OFWs instead of preparing for another war on spratlys, an issue since time immemorial and (as provoked by the US!)……… he is demonstrating for increase income, less working time……….read the ques……….

Lets confirm that the Filipinos are intelligent and can read between the lines…..as we were thought on how to read Rizal’s Noli me tangere, El fili and the likes!!!

Chip Tsao is so wrong in his description of our country: we are not a nation of servants. At the very least, we are a nation of people too lazy to read. At worst, we are a nation of stupid people who already cannot understand what we are reading. To those who made conclusions and opinions without first reading the article of Chip Tsao (including our senators) here are the first two paragraphs of the article:

1. The Russians sank a Hong Kong freighter last month, killing the seven Chinese seamen on board. We can live with that—Lenin and Stalin were once the ideological mentors of all Chinese people. The Japanese planted a flag on Diàoyú Island. That’s no big problem—we Hong Kong Chinese love Japanese cartoons, Hello Kitty, and shopping in Shinjuku, let alone our round-the-clock obsession with karaoke.

3. But hold on—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130, 000 Filipina maids working as $3, 580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.

Right there and then, you can already see that this article is not an attack of the Filipinos. Ironically, it is actually in defense of us. Chip Tsao’s bottomline is putting China to task for picking a fight with lowly Philippines for doing something so minor, instead of directing its rage against Russia and Japan who had done far more serious crimes against China. He even called Spratlys as scattered rocks! Hay, how difficult is that to understand?

Mabuhay talaga ang Pilipino!

Tsao has issued an apology it seems:
