Ethnic cleansing in the Philippines

The United Nations Convention on Genocide drafted in December 1948 mainly defines the physical means by which governments or rogue militia weed out ethnic or cultural communities. With bullets or bladed weapons, separation of younglings from their elders, we've heard it all before from the news and read it in the history books.  Original in Kapampangan and Cebuano

David C. Martinez grades the Philippines an F


(Actually he grades the nationalists C in history, D in logic and F in spelling.) The country that we call Philippines, that fatally flawed, essentially oppressive, historically venal, and imperially centralized construct that has always encouraged its citizens to submit voluntarily to their own exploitation. - from the 2004 book
Why? WHY?

A Country of Our Own
"The best writing on the Philippines I've read in a very long time."—Dr. Michael Ashkenazi, Regents College, London

"Meticulously researched, coherently crafted, passsionately argued."—Carmen Miraflor, Stanford University, California

"Immensely stimulating."—Bro. Andrew Gonzalez, FSC, former Sec. of Education, RP

"Like Alexandr Solshenitsyn, David C. Martinez, writing with the grace of a poet, the acumen of a scholar, and the heart of a patriot, offers the reader two rewards—the unembroidered truth and the priceless gift of hope."—Joseph E. Fallon, author, "Deconstructing America"

"Certain to change crippling misconceptions of 'nation' and 'identity.' Destined to radically, justly, and permanently alter the political landscape of the Philippines."—Nilo Sarmiento, formerly of the Society of Jesus

"Courageously irreverent, scrupulously annotated, and richly rewarding. A must-read for all who wish to comprehend the 'Philippine phenomenon'."—Tim Harvey, Co-Founder, DILA [Defenders of the Indigenous Languages of the Archipelago]

"The Religion of Blame” chapter was well received by Postscript readers. They are encouraged to read the entire book of Martinez"—Federico Pascual, Philippine Star columnist

The Pekingese dog collar (an anonymous slice of truth)
The INC and Marcoleta, they pose an international problem (and a more immediate one for the Philippines, just like Islamist jihadis). Marcoleta has gone on record that the West Philippine Sea is a myth, and his pro-Sara bloc in the Senate will almost certainly tip the impeachment towards her acquittal. This will lay the groundwork for her victory in the next presidential elections, and de facto annexation of the Philippines by China (and possibly replacement of English by Mandarin in the educational system, and tightening of prohibitions of non-Tagalog languages in schools, government, media and social media). If the country experienced hell and dictatorship and colonial rule in the past, that is only a foretaste of what is to come. The CCP is of course banning or severely restricting religion, but they can make an exception in the case of the INC, or even declare it the state religion.

The next Taiwan
Formosa is the more appropriate name if minima-Chinese sensibility is your armor of self-preservation. Austronesian nations radiated from Formosa thousands of years ago after turning their back on the mainland. Dutch overlords and Han-Chinese warlords preceded Japanese occupation and then there came the exiled Kuomintang who at first envisioned for Mandarin the grand nationalist pogrom of monoculturalization. Somehow it paused at bare survival level of marginalization for the remaining indigenous natives whom the Chinese subjugate under a political environ somewhat actually more democratic than our own. Non-communist Chinese is better than the other variety but neither should be permitted to take over as your master. Good Taiwanese are averse to witnessing the communist-fascists transform us into an ethnic and cultural Taiwan.
It'd been a mystery why DITO owned by the China business partner of Duterte has not been more aggressive few years after buying third spot in the cellular telecom market. PLDT invincibility is one reason but Globe also seems to be content with its paltry share as long as it has the towers, spaghetticables and cellsites to gorge on the information pipeline for the benefit of the mother company. As for DITO the rationale for conceding non-commercial success is China penetration accomplished.
The ascendance of Chinese supertycoons wouldn't have accelerated if Marcos and Cory didn't also marginalize locals and the mestizos inasmuch as those foreigners sponsored by the Chinese Communist Party are much more reliable in terms of discrete and constant support. China factors heavily in our manufacturing and energy sectors through these migrants and has gained near absolute importation and banking manipulation. National language is curiously their pet. Gaisano retail conglomerate, though Cebu-based Chinamen, uses Tagalog signages and jingles in their malls everywhere including Cebu itself. Secretly the Chinoy is laughing at a monkey.
Freeman columnist Atty Jimenez posited on July 6, 2026 the inappropriate demeanor of both Catholics and the Manalo cultists vis separation of church and state. Wait a minute. Almost everyone here fails on the subject of separation insofar as they abhor its apparent violation each time Iglesia or a cardinal engages in any degree of politicking. Prayer before a public event or activity is intended to hoodwink participants and observers about the outcome being blessed by God Himself. But holding Mass celebration in municipio of Catholic town is different. No one is violated unless you are an agnostic forced to attend.
The original meaning of separation in reality is that state does not interfere in religious matters but only accommodates the reasonable. Making Chinese new year and Muslim lunar events official holidays are true examples of religious violation and government in this extant instance is the persistent violator. This is unnecessary special treatment. If Christmas is a legitimate holiday it is only because 94% of us observe it anyway regardless if declared or even if not. They are scared to teach this in law school.
If cult mentioned above or if Moro migrants intimidate us with bloc voting, it's not political violation but just a business prerogative. Politically motivated pastoral letters you can call that opinion.
Separation principle applying to three branches. Separated powers no longer is followed when chief justice emotes about SC defending environment and social equity or when the executive branch is incrementally delegated more and more judicial-legislative functions. With true separation of powers your Congress monopolizes all legislative functions and therefore is not inutil like the one Marcos Cory deprecated it to. With true separation of church and state, government avoids anything that interferes plus or minus with a particular religion. No Chinese or Eid holidays or cheesy opening prayers intended for pretentious divine countenance.
Judicial gained many legis and exec functions even as the executive branch encroachment into powers intended for judiciary and legislature expands. Congress does not even have half anymore. Unfortunate for this branch and especially for us per experience because of the ease that a legislator's corrupt acts get caught.
Vote buying is an essential element without which the oligarcho-political system solidified by Marcos Cory cannot sustain. Like cancer or coronavirus, a protective mechanism presents itself so the disease persists long as it can. Our perverted citizenry had been brianwashed into equating with ayuda or social entitlement the cash they accept for vote selling. They know it is wrong but some justify it by thinking they have prevented a worse candidate from plundering more in our corrupt system.
Systemic entrenchment of Tagalogist national socialism can today only be toppled by the Church but only if it retools its election role. Not gonna happen if persons like Tagle who is part of the system are to make the decision whether to reverse our 5 decades of economic, intellectual-cultural and military regression. Not if they insist on preserving Tagalog supremacy regardless of the harm this has done to us.
Can vote buying be weaponized instead to overthrow the Marcos Cory system? No. You'd need to secure 90% buy-in for large-scale reform from the electorate and each of the three branches of the state. The requirement of prior consensual collaboration of the overwhelming majority is reason why procedural charter change is instantly scuttled by any interloper. Judicial wrench throwing, army Trillanes adventurism, legislative you-name-it. Amendment-proof down deep in an IRGC bunker.
School violence only surfaced right after the 2026 opening of classes but its unreported status prior to the sensational shooting headlines reveals how many incidents were concealed or covered up by the Department of Education. Now it's every week that we hear incidents of student violence in DepEd schools and that does not even include the multiple thousands of frat-soro hazing paddle beatings.
You can bet that at no time in Philippine history even with the shortlived MTBMLE did any single pupil or student learn in school even one local language. That's not how it works. It's never been classroom blackboard where you get English. Today dating from the Cory years they don't even possess a mother tongue before entering school unless they got parental tonguing in a native Tagalog locale. Cebu they only have mongrel tongues at kindergarten age: mongrel Cebuano, mongrel English and mongrel Tagalog. Incompetent curriculum of DepEd only diminishes further their language skill. But even teaching Cebu kiddos only in Ceb and Eng in school is 100% ineffective if there is Tagalog in the home, street and Gaisano.
If the dial of Tagalogism is turned up to maximum power there would always be some exceptions here and there that would survive but specimens of the local language you encounter mean little considering the extent it's retreated after being pushed down by the aggressively promoted Tagalog national language.
Buwan ng Wikang Filipino & A.I. Kasangkapan sa Panalasiksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon. The usual basura garbage every August expanded by the 1997 Ramos Proclamation 1041 for supremacizing the Tagalog of Marcos-Cory. Historical Commission now taking the lead in cognizanze of inadequacies shown by KWF and DepEd. Reject the Filipino Tagalog fathered by Quezon for just one reason. Nationalism is evil. There is nothing dumber than national language.

June 12, 1000 B.C.

How important is flag? It can only be so if, as Ben Shapiro says, this flag represents a great country, not a lousy or nefarious whatever. Great country, if that is what it symbolizes, makes a flag meaningful in a good way, otherwise it is just signage or marker. But for many their flag stands for how proud they are of Pride or Nazi or Peenoy. The first day the Philippines became a country was a July 4. Twas when God still blessed the Philippines. Republic Day should be the one and only state-imposed holiday, June 12 is fake history. Christmas, New Year and Lent it must concede but nothing more.
Make America Great Again is a weirdo slogan because its been the greatest country ever in history and one's goal should be to make America never lousy the way bunglers Obama Kamala Biden took that direction. Andy McCarthy explains that in the mindset of the Islamic Jihadist they had been victorious over the Soviet Union and since it's now safely in the pocket of China, enemy number one is US as big Satan and Israel little Satan standing in their way against domination of Sharia worldwide. Shifting to the Tagalogistas ruling Philippines, their biggie is Cebuano and little one English.
Leftists ie former Harvard economics professor Elizabeth Warren consider government power to be all good in and of itself while ignoring the practical effect of outsized overgovernance. Limiting the government and at the same time upholding freedom of the person is the reason America has left behind the leftist or neosocialist Europeans. Population/Deprivation scaremongers were all proven erroneous by global economic output in the last 60 years, objectively measured poverty is much less bad today with better availability and nonstop advancement. The countries left behind today are the diehards of national socialist big government.
Going through the Wiki entry on President Marcos you'll find hints of thievocratic kleptocracy somewhere right in the beginning where he flagshipped fiscal extravagance of the state in service of self-promoting populism. Overspend so there are less questions as you overgovern and grift the cowed citizens. The peoples are used to being fooled and entertained by theatrical productions of anti-corruption or covid hype-emergency, orchestrated by politisyans and bureauk-rats turned hoodlums by Marcos, Cory up to the Duterte crime family and beyond. This has been a regime that keeps growing its unlimited authority, unchallenged, to dictate everything and penalize anything.
Don't believe them and their officially promoted fiction like Tagalog originals of superlinguist Rizal and triple Indon-Malay migrant waves or ancient legends/codes. There is much better probability Lapulapu was a straggler of the Japanese pirate armada and was not a Visayan Cebu native. This was a time when Japanese piracy outposts were on the wane and of course the only record ever recorded about this Lapulapu was through Spaniards who compacted with Cebuano king Humabon.
On their return forty plus years after Magellan died fighting for his Cebu companeros, the Spans dealt with the king's descendant Tupas but the enemies in Mactan had apparently long fled this small barren island. We'll never know anything more about these "gypsies" because they left no artifacts, everything gov and acad are telling you is made up stuff including names and religion. Wiki bans artificial intelligence entries therefore you can have more confidence in the Wiki info on Jap pirates, Antonio Pigafetta and Gines de Mafra than on anything Google pulls out from generative hallucinations.
Greenwashing and religion/gender dysphorism are all the rage at proggie communes inside government and socmedia walled gardens. Technology is not man's ruler and government is not man's master but only for us non-fans of China. Magnifica Humanitas in 2026 prepares us for 2100 and beyond. The universal Church has mostly been right in balancing technological matters and human affairs. In modern times we've had guidance from Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, credence to the unfashionable reality that nothing is more important than man because God made it so.

Marginalization of the intelligent in an artificial country debasing to technological hallucination
To make everyone dumb and dumber, they proliferate fake words like cicl, pwd, pdl and lgbt-*/+. Lots of lousy crap going on. Local gubirmints promoting abnormal sexualities, basura mindlessly generated by media fed to the resilient slaves of cellphones, fraternity hazing is business as usual in schools, communities and police-military. Regardless if masonic-acad, community-gang or military-police, physical punishment administered by hazing is intended to instill tribalistic loyalty upon survival of extremely painful brainwashing. Automaton conform to the infliction of language problem, economic crunch and population distortion by your master. Best thing 'bout Iran is one&only frat there is IRGC (Islamic Revol...).
Socialmediabigtech sees/hears/reproduces all that you do or perform. You say you don't mind if it does all that because you got nothing to hide. And so you bare it all and stand naked in the platform of big tech voyeur gadgetry to post your innards. Scrolling infinitely down the algorithm specially concocted for cyberfriends bonded in screen addiction. Telecom, media and authorities encourage consumption because they get juicy rewards in return for supporting addicted attachment.
Online generative Artificial Intelligence deviates from its roots in the 1990s by redirection of deep learning neuralisms to harvested data from scraping information caches on the interweb. Derangement and hallucination are the result of turbocharging synthesized subjectivity in picking “answers” or specimens after an exhaustive crawl of the global net. Frighteningly wasteful and loaded with existential hazards, this is a topic so fraught and deeply consequential to non-Tagalog culture/language it necessitates separate commentary.

A criticism of David C.M. by his greatest admirer
As we all did, some in ways more immensely profound than others, I wanted him to be perfect but he never became the perfect philosopher king who'd deliver us first decade of this century from the evil republic that Marcos and Cory mutated the Philippines into. His perfect solution failed and the fault on his part was singular. Failure to perceive that people who've grown accustomed to corrupt governance will laugh out of the room any suggestion to referendum their way out away from Pinoy Tagalogista dystopia. Over here we are corrupt and we are fine being content with all that, if we want anything not rotten like this thing we have then we'll just do transient work in another country where labor is justly compensated and bring home the dollars to squander on purchases to the Chinese.
In brief it was never possible for Danny to liberate contemporary Philippines via the ballot from its corrupt political and sociocultural metastasis. Indelible ruin did Marcos and Cory bring to our country and the only way out is out. There was a time someone told Danny that in a bad situation you don't ask permission to go out, you just remove yourself from it whether they like it or not. Faith in democratic process is good but it has its limits in fighting against entrenched authoritarian rot. The founding fathers of America would never have succeeded without the spiritual and physical weapons God gave them.
As for those who elect not to fight imperial despotism, it is a matter of how much Stockholm has syndromatized them. We all let Danny down by taking for granted his solution will do the work for us instead of us prosecuting accomplishment of his vision, milestone by physical milestone. The dark reality is there're millions of them in and out of government who've sworn a damned-by-God oath upon election or appointment/employment (including police-military) to uphold and defend with their life an incurably bad constitution. Though nothing bad ever lasts longer than expiration date of the current flavor of evil, we cannot know if ourselves we can outlast the Republic of Tagalog. Heaven forbid by the time this Republic of Tagalog is gone only the shariah-jihadist, Chinese and Tagalog remain.
As a final effort to criticize Danny, aside from naming us, he is to blame for the 20 years dila.ph has existed as it was him and friends like Lilia who'd indirectly funded our site hosting, their generosity contributing to the toils of our leader Josie's inner circle.

Leni Robredo impression was not better than Junior
Cebu is the worst place on earth, there all the public edifices, vehicles and uniforms are marked with Tagalog letterings. Naga CamSur shocks us by marking their city hall as belonging to Ciudad nin Naga, their official seal is in something we haven't seen in a long time, English and not the national dialect. Irony. L Robredo struck me in 2022 and many years prior as typical of the Tagalogista trapus, indistinguishable from the other buyer oligarchs and panderer socialists insomuch as the two squabbling Tagalog senaturds Kiko and Robin cannot be distinguished apart from their self-interested divergence in China matters and mafia killings.
Junior's been straighter in each passing year and has gotten along nicely with the less dirty politicians especially Robredo. Not perfect but also not the total disaster the two predecessors were. Guy and girl can finger salute FU the 1987 constitution and run as a team with the purpose not of governing in 2028 but revolting. Otherwise this stinking country might undergo change only after Chinese invasion or Marxist Muslim jihad. It'd be worse than bad, everyone'd continue to worship a ludicrously fictionalized Lapulapu in the tradition of fakemasters of historical piracy.
The two's past statements and behavior darkened of portents for Tagalogist continuity but the rest of the field guarantee total preservation of the status quo. Trust the Supreme Court to be status quo preserver, sweet livelihood all them in govment have at our expense. If she sees the same wrong you see then partner with her and make right the country corrupted in 1972 by your namesake and the ones following. Restoration though revolution. For the longest, having been blandished shibboleths of Pinoy grandiosity yet confronted with inexorable evidence of irrecoverable failure, do these two choose to continue being resilient losers bred by Marcos-Cory or do they break away and take us back to the path of justice, virtue and success?
On May 24 special prayer was inserted at end of mass for the highest officials to get repentance and enlightenment. No way padres, after 54 years just plead ignorance if you cannot be specific about what is wrong and what needs to be done and don't give us that nonsense about corruption and reconciliation. Restore is a conservative suggestion, we were top two in Asia before the "reforms" or depravities of Senior. Revolution is a word that honestly describes the impossibility of changing our system back to good without viciously violating a constitution armored in Luciferian steel. EDSA can go to hell as the yellow joke that stock us for laughing at.

     Virus Scam Ph 22mb pdf full compilation of first blog, 254 pages

"Ang kinuwanggol sa covidcovid maskmask alang sa kagaw sa China-Duterte" will no longer be forthcoming sad to announce but you are more than welcome if you dare translate this 254-sheet masterpiece of antiMarcosCory truthsaying yourself even just as a mental exercise.
From the memoir Unleashed of Boris Johnson: the result of some botched experiment in a Chinese lab splicing bits of virus together like the witches in Macbeth and started replicating all over the world.
covid and PinoyTagalog national language are the best thing that ever happened to government parasites. They were the heroic frontliners who enjoyed power tripping us into submissive obedience and forcible purchase of useless stuffs sold by Chinese.
Starting 2025 the world's top health official is Jay Bhattacharya, the epidemiologist and economist who in 2020 condemned the senselessness of global lockdowns in response to China's virus. WHO and DOH deserve punishment for their unforgivable malpractice. They also forcibly deployed what turned out to be only partial (at best) vaccines, unlike most of the 20th century vaccines which worked all the way, even Pfizer (the best one) had limited efficacy against both symptomatic infection and transmissible infection. Virus was Satan's gift to China's commie fascists, the ones who knew how to use it best. If Satan inspired the laboratory creation of the virus then the national language Pinoy Tagalog must also be his.

 

    a personal statement against the   August Tagalog Month
Ramesh Ponnuru of NationalReview wrote on July 17, 2019:
Former Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens died yesterday. He was a World War II veteran, a public servant, and by all accounts a gentleman. His jurisprudence had many admirers, increasingly liberal ones after his first years on the Court. But not all of his fans are content to leave it there. Slate's obituary says he "fought tirelessly to build an America that lived up to his extraordinarily high standards." If that's really how he saw his job, it's an indictment of him.
--
You'll have to read that carefully to understand how it can be very, very wrong for a person occupying a high state position toiling with all his might to reshape his country into what fits his personal standards. To adjust the job you have been appointed to in accordance to your subjective personal preferences rather than just be a straightforward professional and adjust to the job in conformity to the job description. In contemporary high jurisprudence this boils down to either being a textualist who sticks to originalist legal meaning or to being an activist who bows down to the loudest social fad.
Institutional standards, community standards, historical standards, all of these were stridently discarded by Hitler, Stalin and Mao then buried by their ideological conceit. Dictators may be "forgiven" for what dictators do but not so in a free country if you are a high justice of the law who uses your bench to twist the written word in the direction of outcomes that conform to your own inclinations. The law is no longer the law. You are the law.
Quezon thought that same way when he treacherously nationalized Tagalog via the 1935 constitution. He decided that making the country Tagalog was for the general good based on nothing else other than his personal opinion, bias and prejudice. I'm certain Marcos honestly believed there was betterment for the country in turning Quezonian Tagalog, all at the same time that he was going to make the Marcos family fabulously rich. Davide is a great constitutionalist according to his many admirers. He's the opposite of that to me because he was a drafter of the worst constitution in the world and every interpretation thereof from him thereafter was consistently an exercise in nationalistic self-validation.
Nationalism is why the August Tagalog Month of Marcos-Aquino persists today and it is also why Duterts had a really, really hard time making up his mind about changing the Cory consti into an entirely new federal fundamental law. You end up being an internally confused person if you take up reformism while remaining nationalist socialist. That is why Teresa May failed because she is a Remainer while Boris Johnson is gonna succeed because he is a Brexiteer. Can't be two opposite things unless your name is Filipino (the Tagalogized schizo version).
Anyway I hope the good jurists who I know exist somewhere out there can excuse me for my criticism but no matter how the fidelity of one's interpretation of the law is to the text and original context, not much good in there if you are in the Philippines interpreting a lousy constitution. One that in the most honest remark ever of the sitting president is toilet paper. Now I know where you were sitting down Sir. Perfect meme concept but I am not an artist. (Do you know what TUNGO sounds like? The Cebuano word for CURSE.)

KAPAMPANGAN, NOT FILIPINO, IS OUR SARILING WIKA
by Robby Tantingco
Ernie Turla reposted at DILA-fb August 2024
I urge all schools in Pampanga--including private, exclusive, international schools--to hold activities promoting Kapampangan, not just for one day (Aldo ning Amanung Sisuan, held on the last Friday of the month) but the entire month of August. I also urge all schools in the border towns of Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Tarlac and Bataan--all the former towns of Pampanga--to hold their own activities promoting Kapampangan for the sake of their Kapampangan-speaking students. Filipino is already over-promoted in media, in schools, in government, in churches, in the streets, in malls... Kapampangan, not Filipino, is the language of our ancestors, the language we were born with, and the language that resonates most with our cultural identity. Remember that Filipino became our national language only in 1937 and only by legislation. Before 1937, Filipino was Tagalog, another regional language like Kapampangan, Iloko, Bikol, etc. until President Quezon elevated it to the stature of a national language (the reason we call him "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa"). The government renamed the national language "Pilipino" only in 1959 and "Filipino" only in 1973.

Origin of Tagalog or the Filipino national subdialect
"Tagalog is a fairly young language, not more than a thousand years old. It belongs to the Central Philippine group, bearing more similarities with languages in the Visayas than those of Luzon [e.g., Ilokano and Kapampangan]. Linguists say the Visayan languages are older than Tagalog, so we can conclude that today's Tagalogs are descended from settlers who originally came from the Visayas. Eventually the settlers' Visayan-based language evolved into Tagalog, new words being coined, others borrowed from the settler's new neighbors, for example the Kapampangan." - Michael Tan on Inquirer 2001, before becoming just another warlock of Tagalogista nationalist wokism

From Dr. Jes B. Tirol to Manuel Lino Faelnar on DILA-fb
"Filipino language, like Esperanto, is an invented language and no particular group of people speaks it. Filipino language is actually a scam."

 

These depictions of Pampanga and Cebu are instructive as to what may or may not work in protecting ourselves from Tagalog imperialism. dila.ph/pampanga.html and dila.ph/cebu.html

..

       

Every Tagalog word transplanted to a Cebuano child results in at least one Cebuano word amputated from him. Government is not going to stop until this systematic subtraction achieves the irreversible reduction of Cebuano to zero.
Join your Kapampangan brothers and sisters in safeguarding masses and Protestant services against usurpation by Tagalog.

"DO NOT POLLUTE OUR VERNACULAR AND ENGLISH MASSES WITH TAGALOG SONGS" Please have your own message printed on a slip of paper to be dropped with the second or first collection offering everytime there is a transgression by the priest or choir. Let your parish know you refuse to accept Tagalogization.

Hereunder are absolute essentials for the resolute non-Tagalog. Not Filipino is the short name for the DILA book. Himaya employs the kind of sensible translation that does not leave you deprived in the sensory and literary departments, written originally in the Cebuano language as was the Facebook story. The much longer Tribunal was done in English first. Also there is a visual argument for economic and political autonomy for a culturally contiguous Kapampangan nation that has sufficient state powers to protect its language. Or else apocalypse, the kind we were warned about by DILA founder E.Turla in the 1990s.
