Gwapito Will Be On GMA 7

Posted on August 17, 2009 by Gwapito.com | Leave a comment

Updated.

Gwapito will be on national television through GMA 7. The show is Imbestigador, and will be aired on the last Saturday of November. The topic is basically about Filipino nationalism. I will be telling my hate for tagalog movies, and a few other stuff.

Some guy in GMA 7 emailed me, and asked if i would be interested to be interviewed in one of their shows. I did not hesitate. He asked me several questions before doing the actual interview. Aside from the interview, i did some minor acting.

It has been my desire to share my opinions in the local television, regardless of the network. ABS-CBN contacted me months ago for the Media in Focus talk show, but i was three days late when i opened my email inbox. The topic was about Chip Tsao‘s War at Home controversy.

You will know my real name because GMA people don’t want me to use my “Gwapito” moniker.

Wrong Ideas about Filipino Nationalism

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Gwapito.com | 8 Comments

Being nationalistic is about what’s in the heart and what you do for the country.

The following are wrong factors in determining of how a Filipino is really Filipino.

1. Should speak tagalog. Did you know that Filipino-foreigners in the Philippine Football Team are more passionate and willing to sacrifice more than their team mates who were born in the Philippines? Some don’t speak a single tagalog word.

I could not speak straight and flowing tagalog, but i have done more good for the Philippines than you who is good in tagalog.

2. Should patronize Filipino products. I practically don’t like Filipino movies. The only Filipino movie worth every penny is Confessional, it’s an indie.  I worked hard for my money, so I should look for quality.

3. Should work and live only in the Philippines. Don’t condemn others who work their butts off abroad to send money at home.

4. Should have a dark brown skin. There was a discussion in a famous Philippine online forum about urging Jaime Zobel Ayala to run for president in the 2010 Philippine election. A few “true Filipinos” retorted that the Ayalas does not look like Filipinos because they are “white” and JAZA is not fit to run for president. Those ignorant Filipinos have no idea about the Ayalas’ philanthropy works in the Philippines.

I quote Beatriz Ayala:

“Anything that will be good for the Philippines I will be interested in. Like an opportunity like this, you will see me in it.”

Johnny Lee Clary

I found a video of Johnny Lee Clary in Youtube. I was attracted by the the title “Former Ku Klux Klan,” so i clicked it. Man i was so blessed with what i saw.

Johnny Lee Clary is a former member of Ku Klux Klan (KKK), but now a Christian evangelist. Clary was not just a KKK member,  but also one of its top leaders. For who those who don’t know what Ku Klux Klan is, it basically a racist organization founded in the United States.

Rev. Clary deserves some mention and linklove by Gwapito! Visit his site: www.johnnyleeclary.com.

Please Don't Watch Tagalog Movies!

Posted on July 14, 2009 by Gwapito.com | 53 Comments

The title maybe a bit harsh especially if you’re part of showbusiness in Manila, or you feel insulted if you’re a frequent tagalog movie watcher.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m an avid supporter of everything positive connected to the Philippines. Things like Manny Pacquiao, sports, Philippine Football Team, close family ties. BUT Filipino / Tagalog movies? A BIG NO!

Watching a tagalog movie is a waste of money and time.

I watched Super Noypi in the first week of January out of curiousity to check if the special effects in Philippine movies have improve. What a disappointment. It was like when i was 7 years old during the 80s watching crappy tagalog movies with crappy special effects.

My Opinion About Michael Jackson

Posted on July 1, 2009 by Gwapito.com | 3 Comments

I first knew Michael Jackson when i was 7 or 8 years old. I am a passive admirer of his talent. If you rate me as a fan, I would probably be a 3 out of 10. His dancing just floored me.

When he died I felt a bit of sadness. Tears was in the back of my eyelids, but it did not fall.

Reactions about his death spread around the internet like wildfire. Most of them accolades and sadness, and a number hate and disgust. Saying he was a kiddie fiddler (pedophile). That negative label of him from anti-MJs makes me say my piece.

I don’t believe MJ was a pedophile.

Although, there are a lot of rumors about his sexual orientation, that he is gay. But he is not a pedophile.

He had a deprived childhood. Never fully experienced like normal children do – play, eat, run around. The Neverland Ranch was a testament that he was to continue his childhood as an adult.

The accuser’s father was just intent on milking money from MJ. The father was was allegedly in debt in the thousands of dollars at that time. The media exaggerated headlines that altered people’s assessment of Michael Jackson.

Why Do the Rich gets Richer?

Posted on May 14, 2009 by Gwapito.com | Leave a comment

Some people often wonder why the wealthy seem to get wealthier while the poor people gets poorer especially in times of financial crisis.

Poor ones should not always complain about this inevitable truth. Because there are two types of rich people, the good ones and the bad ones.

The bad ones uses connections in the government, giving bribes, selling drugs, doing corruptions, extortion. You could find them a lot in the government and police force. Hahaha!

While the good millionaires just attract money just by using their own wits and wisdom. Economic recession for them is an opportunity to invest or create another business.

Ugly and Talented Singers

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Gwapito.com | Leave a comment

This is not to poke fun at these unusual individuals with international caliber talents. But hopefully, you’ll be inspired by them, as i am.

Susan Boyle
Gained instant international fame after appearing in Britain’s Got Talent audition. Although this 47 year old already had her song included in a compilation album back in 1999, but her career never really took off.

During the introduction part in Britain’s Got Talent, the audience laughed at her when she mentioned her age. She even got smirks when she replied, “I’m trying to be a professional singer” at Simon’s “dream” question. But those are really nothing compared to what appeared to be a humiliation done to her in an audition that happened 14 years ago.

Let’s hear her sing:


Mau Marcelo
She is Philippine Idol’s first winner. She received a lot of negative comments because of her looks and her weight. In the Philippine entertainment scene, the ugly talents are good only for comedy shows. But Mau Marcelo’s talent in singing deserves to be known internationally.

Paul Potts
Also a product of Britain’s Got Talent fame. This unassuming man makes me shed bucket of tears every time i watch his videos. He went on to win the 100,000 pound first prize.
