Good grief, if the majority of Pinoys in the blogospehre were to read this kind of inane navel-gazing and Filipino self-hate, there’d be lynchings in cyberspace!

examples of expression to deny…

Now that you mentioned it, I’m quite a superstar where I work as well. But the question is this: are we really representative of the *average* Pinoy schmoe? Do you think people like us got to where we were thinking and acting like a typical Pinoy? – Benign0 on Thu, 24th May 2007 10:05 am

But do you really think that people like you and I are truly representative of the Filipino people? Just because there are a handfull of brilliant individuals does not necessarily mean that the society to which said individuals belong to is collectively brilliant. – Benign0, February 5th, 2007 at 6:55 am

both are substantial evidence of DENIAL in expressive form. :)

Dean, what makes you think I am in “denial” that I am a “Filipino”.

Cite examples please.

In the Multiple Prisoners Dilemma, you would be the ultimate defector, Benigz. Only in this prison, that is evidently ostracizable behavior. Hehe. Serves you right. But blog on! I am sure now that you are at least a Good Sport.

Benign0 is in denial about the undeniable–that he IS quite simply, a Filipino.

Thus, Bencard hit the nail on the noggin applying the term “SELF-LOATHING” to Benign0′s peculiar convolvulus. This is the name of the meme that has conquered the brain of Benign0.

It is a very serious viral infection that is worse even than those tragic cases of men being trapped in women’s bodies or vice versa. Imagine detesting a race of men to which you belong. At least those others can get medical relief through sex change operations. But how does Benign0 get out of his Filipino body.

Can he get skin transplants, special contact lenses, hair implants, hypnotic reacculturization?

How can we help this poor suffering soul become something other than a Filipino as the only way to relieve a devastating but unreachable itch?

KA FLOR. Pigsty, he says.

Pigsty can’t be the Fort Boni area and many differently-designed but laudable communities of Marikina, Quezon City, Cebu, Davao and others. And pigsty can’t be the truth/justice, pro-family, pro-children, pro-progress slogans that Pinoy stand for (Ka Flor voted for them).

What I read (in Ka Flor’s entry) is a rant against the performance of the partnership. His rant is against the failure of the linked hands of the citizenry and elected or self-appointed leaders to remove pigsties.

The question is less about the slogans that the linked-Pinoy-hands stand for. To be questioned is the actual effort — what again is the partnership working on? And then, there is the matter of what the partnership achieved.
