Here is an excerpt from Chip Tsao's Article, “The War at Home”
Masyadong pinepersonal ang political issues
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.
As a patriotic Chinese man, the news has made my blood boil. I summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture. I sternly warned her that if she wants her wages increased next year, she had better tell every one of her compatriots in Statue Square on Sunday that the entirety of the Spratly Islands belongs to China!
satire is funny if done right.
ReplyDeleteang masasabi ko lang sa kanya.... "mano y mano" LOL hahaha. :D
Aba, hindi ko alam na lahat na pala ng Pilipino ay nasa HongKong na. China? HOngkong? You have no power over all of us, thus I refuse to be called your servant.
ReplyDeletekawawang Luisa, eto pala ang malupit di ko nasama sa taas - stupid chekwa - baka nakakalimutan nya na maraming migrant na beho sa pinas:
ReplyDeleteGrimly, I told her that if war breaks out between the Philippines and China, I would have to end her employment and send her straight home, because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day. With that money, she would pay taxes to her government, and they would fund a navy to invade our motherland and deeply hurt my feelings.
The best way to deal this is let this china guy measure, draft and plot his own coordinates and azimuth of the Spratly Islands, just so he knows which island belongs to whom, also without neglecting the laws of exclusive economic zones (around 200 nautical mile radius) from the baselines of The Philippine Islands and china.
ReplyDeleteI just hope he understands simple trigonometry, solid mensuration and geodetics before holding an arguement with someone with a degree in international politics. There is not much to debate about if he is technically inclined with the above subjects :)
