I HEARD THIS OFTEN FROM FILIPINOS!!!

Why can’t I read of Filipinos in Economic and science journals? Like Wall Street Journals or Scientific American?

What has the Filipinos contributed in life-altering accomplishments and business-improvement decisions? ZERO!!! BIG FAT ZERO!!! These high-income Filipinos are working their butt off as nurses being led, commanded and controlled and Filipinos just follow!!!

All we brag about is our english!!! Dude, Vietnameses, Hong-Kongeses come to America nary an english yet they have contributed life-altering-business improvement ideas!!! Filipinos zero!!!

We brag about our impeccable spellings!!! Tell me who are the line up in Scripps Spelling Bee!!!

Hey, I take you are from New YOrk. Here’s a story from New Jersey. A nurse mother child was told to look for another school for her child.

She complained to my brother and said, “I’ll bring my Mercedes so they’ll know who I am” SO A MERCEDES CAN MAKE A FILIPINO INTELLIGENT?

HOW EXTRA DUMB!!!!!!!

I DRIVE A VOLVO AND A SAAB!!! I DON’T DRIVE MERCEDES. BECAUSE MERCEDES IS SOOO FILIPINO!!!! DOES THAT MEAN I’M A BRIE-EATING WINE SNOB ELITITST DEMOCRAT?????

Good to know that you know MERALCO’s reason for doing that.

Thanks for the advice on asking the communities on Commonwealth Avenue but may be some other time.

But since you understand that the readings of those “high-altitude” meters of low-income neighborhoods are not actually billed to the end-users and instead, meralco has a “special way” of determining consumption in those neighborhoods and charging the users accordingly;

did MERALCO say WHY they installed meters in the first place when the actual reading of such meters aren’t the basis for billing charges anyway?

Sorry for the very late reply.

Cheers anyway.

Qwerty,

I didn’t have time to scan if you addressed your main concern on the issue of underground electrical cables to our host (since that issue is originally his while the issue of high electrical meters is mine).

But its quite obvious that you as a resident would be willing to relinquish your right to inspect your meter. Unless of course your vision is that good with or without binoculars to inspect your meter that high up.

As I implied before, a resident consumer has the right (as based on the Magna Carta for Residential Electricity Consumers) to a properly installed meter that is easily accessible and visible for reading by him/herself.

Unless MERALCO has justifiable reasons to deny that right; that right must be respected.

so the task of being ambitious and risk-happy is left to the middle class and the elites. unfortunately, they too can’t be ambitious for country. they will be greedy for family, true, but they will let the rest of the country go hang. wala tayong sense of nation. once we imagine ourselves successfully as a nation, we might be able to care enough and transcend tribal, social, economic barriers to think of our common fate. now, we might think of ourselves as pinoys but that aint intense enough to get us all through.

Regardless of country locations, pinoys are engaged in sourgrapings which generally have no tractions other than for entertainment. I just think good luck to people at work who might be envious coz I care less as long as I am the driver.

The change between then and now is relatively invisible. My old friends and relatives don’t know what I am doing nor have any idea. I don’t mix my relatives with friends. When I went back to Philippines, I still ride PUJs and tricycle. The funny part is I can claim I am working in Manila or in Cebu unless somebody learned from nanay. Most of all no cellphone, it is a distraction.

In personal life as in business, you don’t want to advertise yourself as an easy target unless you want something in return.

And to think that some in your office (like your former bosses who are now gone) may want to get you fired…. not fun at all.

If you have time to reread, the post is stating about me on the lack of ambition or opposite of it. To take it as “enmity towards you”, is an overreaching interpretation to your disadvantage that might limit your potential of getting clients as web contents writer if you read too much on any write ups.

Up n Student on, “companies tend to systematically promote their least-competent employees”.

That is how we do it and then fire. It is less aggravating and better defensible position from legal standpoint to fire a person that fails on new position. In contrast, it is hard to get rid of a person who had been doing the same thing over the years like a machine because it is difficult to prove a significant variance of performance that can hold up in court.
