Filipinos, generally, have a huge sense of humor. Most foreign bloggers would agree based on their published contents. Anyway, here are some proofs of Filipinos' sense of humor.

They preach about forgiveness; but they do not practice what they preach. What I am writing here is addressed to the priests, bishops, archbishops, cardinals and nuns of the Catholic Church, whether religious or diocesan. To Forgive and To Love You must have heard or read the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:23-35. If you are a priest, a nun, a pastor or a priest of higher position such as a bishop, I am sure that you know about this parable. For that reason, I would no longer quote Matthew's gospel here. Instead, I am going to write about The Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians 2:5–11. Before reading the passage, if you are a religious leader of the Catholic Church in the Philippines, I want you to pause for a little while and think why I am addressing this post to you all. Reflect on the lines that I have emphasized. Forgiveness for the Offender 2 Cor 2:5–11 But if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but to some extent — not to exaggerate it —...

It's been more than a year; the pandemic has not ended yet. Despite the vaccinations, why is there a surge? Despite the current lockdown, COVID cases more than doubled in 11 days (66,895 active cases before the lockdown on 5 August; 106,672 cases on 16 August). I think, the lockdown will only delay transmission of the virus. Once the people start to roam again the cities and other places, there goes the dreadful COVID again. Perhaps, even for just a week, IATF could have implemented ALL-STAY-HOME-NO-ONE-GOES-OUT policy. In case of emergency, call an emergency hotline. Rescue and medical teams pick up the patient. The problem is: do we have a hotline? How many ambulances do we have? Well, that should not be a problem. Everything can be planned. Circuit Breaker: Total Lockdown Here's an actual scenario. A friend visited my sister on her birthday. She stopped her car in front of the house. Without getting off, she rolled down her window and had a quick chat with my sister. My sist...

How real is real time when live streaming a TV broadcast? While my sister and I were watching the same program on TV, I could hear from my room that the audio coming from the living room and my room were not synchronized. I could hear the audio of my TV ahead from that in the living room. So, I already know for a fact that a TV broadcast via cable has seconds delay compared to watching a program via air antenna (terrestrial). Cable TV Broadcast vs Live Streaming on the Net Outside my room, my sisters were watching GMA News on TV; while I was watching the same program via live streaming on my iPhone. I could clearly hear that the audio from the TV was ahead from that of my iPhone.  YouTube App vs Facebook App On iPhone, if live streaming via YouTube app, there was a delay of 20s10 (seconds). With Facebook app, the delay was only 10s19 (seconds).  Therefore, that makes live streaming on Facebook app nearer to real time compared to live streaming on YouTube app. Faceb...

Day 32 The 30-day quarantine was extended to until 30 April 2020. On this day, there were 1.95 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 of which 126,000 had died - a mortality rate of 6.45%. Day 21 Background What is like being locked down inside a community quarantine? It's first for me, and perhaps to everyone else. How would one see life then – seriously? Hopefully? Angrily? When dengue epidemic hit the Philippines in 2019, it caused more than 46,000 cases with 622 deaths in 7 months. No town or city was quarantined for the reason that dengue was not communicable from human to human. In the case of COVID-19, there are only 307 cases as of this writing, yet the whole Luzon and parts of Visayas and Mindanao are under quarantine. With dengue, it takes one mosquito bite to get sick. With COVID-19, infection is exponential. In 1906, Mary Mallon did not know, that she was a carrier of typhoid bacteria. Wherever she cooked, people near her would develop typhoid fever...
