a bad chip off the block

As far as Filipinos are concerned, Chip Tsao is the villain of the day. His article enraged a lot of Filipinos from the domestics that he berated to the mediamen and politicians alike. And I wouldn’t be far behind. Of course I’ve got some patriotic spells too just like this stupid writer so it’s my duty to defend my country which he unceremoniously disrespected.

So he has no problem if Russians or Japanese will kill them Chinese and invade their land?. Boy that was an outright admission of cowardice, low self-steem and un-patriotism. Contrary to what he claims to be.

But if it’s the Philippines who will lord it over, he’s fighting back. Why? Because he sees Filipinos as a mere ‘nation of servants’! And he can only fight back if it’s ‘small fry’ he’s up against? Whatta prick!

But before I jack up my blood pressure unnecessarily, let me step back and say one thing: this Chip Tsao is obviously a nut case. He’s either psychologically incapacitated, mentally ill, or just plain and simple whacko.

For him to lecture his housemaid about politics and geography is pathetic. To think that Louisa has a degree on international politics. I could only assume it’s Louisa who should do the lecturing.

And for him to think of ‘hostaging’ these domestics should the Philippines pursue it’s claim on the Spratlys? That’s what I meant when I say mentally deranged.

So as I took a step back and regained my composure (together with some objectivity), let me send out some messages here:

To the UNCHR: Please look into the plight of Louisa and other domestic helpers here who, according to this Chip Tsao, are being indoctrinated and made to shout “China” whenever they hear Spratlys. This is obviously a violation of human rights and should be investigated. Punish the violators specially this bad Chip.

To the publishers and editor of HK Magazine: Wake up you guys. For an article this toxic to be published in your magazine, you must be sleeping.

To the Philippine Government: Pull out Louisa and save her from this obviously dangerous monster. She must have been suffering a lot by now. Give her back the dignity so ruthlessly taken away from her by this abusive employer. On a grander scheme of things, improve the Philippine economy so that Pinoys would no longer have to go to HK and other countries. You can start by stopping graft and corruption and serving the Filipino people in it’s truest, selfless sense. Not just your own pockets.

To my fellow Pinoys in general: Sure we all have to be angry whenever things like this pop up. But we should aso think instead of just reacting. Think about things that we can do to wipe out the contempt and disrespect in the hearts of Teri Hatchers, Jimmy Kimmels and Chip Tsaos and the likes. With our talents, skills and innate warmth, we sure can win over these devils.

And to Chip Tsao: If you really are patriotic, then don’t take foreigners into your domestic staff. Take someone from your own country. Afterall, there are many jobless men and women in the obscure provinces of China whom you should be taking into your employ. With that, you can truly be a patriotic ass.

Oh boy, whatta way to start April huh!
