LYRICS:


It doesn't matter if your Pinay or if you're P-I-N-O-Y.
Just point with your lips, pare
'cause we're pinoy this way, baby.
Use your eyes... If it was snake it bit you already!

My Momma scolded me when I was young, when I said I hated school. She said "You know the land where we come from, every class is always full." Because in Philippines education is never taken for granted, no it's not, along with food, work, and medication, we know they all come from God.

Back home, a land far away,
Where we work hard every day,
It makes us grateful, baby
We're pinoy this way
Where you will need pamaypay
As temperature rises high
You have not lived 'till you live like a pinoy this way.

Nothing ever goes to waste,
Appreciate, don't throw away
Baby, we're pinoy this way!
Say my prayers everyday,
Bless to all the elderly,
We always say "po" cuz
We're pinoy this way.

Don't mean to brag, it's Philippines,
We're Ricivores, it's in our genes,
Model for Bench, I want to be
My mom said no, and palo'ed me

Our culture's full of diversity,
We're waving the red, white, yellow, and blue
Tagalog, Ibanag, Kapangpangan
And Ilolano are my roots.
Whether you are in the provinces
or in the Capitol Manila, hey-hey
You'll find we're all the same deep down inside,
Pinoy tayo! and Mabuhey!
It's mabuhay





Think traffic here makes you curse?
Well, in Manila it's worse,
But we still show respect baby, we're pinoy this way
I take jeepney cuz it's fast,
Calesa uses no gas,
I drive a tricycle, baby
I'm pinoy this way

Use a rope to tie the knot
Touch the Tarsiers better not
Baby, we're pinoy this way
Play pusoy to win the pot,
Sabong, kawawa naman,
So pick the right cock, baby
We're pinoy this way.

Pretty pinays, and strong pinoys
Have dancing feet, a pretty voice,
We're everywhere, the world is ours,
We have sarsi drink, NO not sars!
With many capabilities, lots like Imelda's shoe galleries,
Just stand up proud and say today,
Mabuhay! Yun you're pinoy this way!

We have white rice on our plate, San miguel beer, balut egg, and chicharon bulaklak, cuz we're pinoy this way
We eat vinigar with fruit, use spoon and fork to eat food, we're saving some for baon, we're pinoy this way.

We take our sapatos off,
And put our chinellas on,
But watch the host say, "Waaaggg, put your shoes back on!"
Cuz we're pinoy this way
Whether we're black, white, or beige,
Yes we are orient-made,
We come in different looks and colours
We're pinoy this way

I can ride a calabaw,
Noone can beat Pacquiao,
Baby, we're pinoy this way
CR's at the megamall
Don't have toilet seat at all
Visit the skating rink,
Inside the mall you can skate.

When she turns 16 we do,
Catillion and a debut,
Oh, and again two years later
We're pinoy this way
From tinikling with bamboo
To videoke with you
Today we're celebrating,
Being a pinoy this way

Same DNA
We're Pinoy this way
Long spanish name
We're Pinoy this way

I am pissed off.

I just heard that Globe Telecoms is planning to cap the internet data volume of its subscribers because according to them, it's a way they need to "promote a more responsible way of using the Internet that will ensure fair and optimum usage of its broadband services across all subscribers." Whatever the hell that means. 

See, I have been a Globe subscriber since October of last year. I was originally a Smart subscriber but due to inefficient services, I decided to switch to Globe, not because it was the best provider but because I had no choice. It was the only internet provider available in my area. My first option was PLDT but it took them 48 years to respond to my application and I really needed to have an internet connection since my job depends on that. 

I work as an online tutor for Japanese students every night using Skype. It's a good and convenient way to earn money because I don't need to wake up early in the morning to battle the nightmarish traffic congestion in Metro Manila and the schedule is really flexible (plus malaki talaga ang sahod kahit 4 hours a day lang ang trabaho or less). This job heavily depends on a stable internet connection. A bad connection equals bad rating and bad ratings equal lesson slot limitation which will also mean that I will earn less. 

Globe has been giving me a less-than-satisfactory service, what with all the week-long network outage and the really suck-y customer service. I've been itching to change my provider but unfortunately I have a one-year-lock-period and I have no choice kundi tiisin ang pangit nilang serbisyo.

Now, this. They have decided to cap the internet usage because of moral and ethical reasons. I won't elaborate this fuckery but read the article for yourself and see what I am talking about. (Click the title to be redirected to the original site.)

Globe moves to cap Internet data volume

Without any law to prevent its adoption, Ayala-led telco Globe Telecom has decided to invoke the “fair use" doctrine in imposing a data limit on the Internet subscription of its customer as a supposed way to curb unrestrained use of just a few broadband users.

Globe’s move, first reported by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, was contained in a press statement issued by the company over the weekend.

The data volume limit, according to the Inquirer, “would affect only users who download data in excess of 1 gigabyte a day."

By adopting a “fair use" policy, Globe said it can “promote a more responsible way of using the Internet that will ensure fair and optimum usage of its broadband services across all subscribers."

In a recent analysis, Globe said only 5 percent use 80 percent of the available broadband network bandwidth, leaving only 20 percent of the capacity to be shared by 95 percent of the remaining users.

The issue on data volume capping remains a contentious topic in the industry, with local telcos pushing the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to impose it as a formal regulatory rule.

The agency, however, has already announced that it will not include any provision on data capping on a circular it is currently drafting on the minimum broadband speed in the country.

This is not the first time, however, that a broadband provider has adopted a data usage ceiling. San Miguel-owned Liberty Telecoms, which operates wi-tribe, has been offering WiMax services that have data limits. Lopez-owned firm SkyCable, through its broadband service unit, also recently rolled out a 5-Mbps Internet offering with 15-GB threshold.

Saying network bandwidth is a finite resource, Globe said “it is necessary to adopt a policy that promotes responsible and fair use of the Internet to prevent abuse and misuse of services from a relatively smaller group of consumers."

“Moreover, the policy aims to preserve the quality of resources in order to provide subscribers with seamless, uninterrupted, and reliable internet connections," it added. “This also ensures consistency and reliability of connection for use of the greater majority of broadband subscribers."

Globe cited study done by Envisional which showed that close to 36 percent of torrent downloads was pornography and another 48 percent was movies and television shows.

The study further claimed that 23.8 percent of global Internet traffic is piracy-related and nearly one-quarter of the traffic on the Internet involves the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials such as movies, TV shows, music, and video games.

“These activities, apart from being unsecured, also utilize a significant amount of broadband network data which prohibits other subscribers to enjoy the same quality of Internet connection," the company said.

In the statement, Globe said it has partnered with a parenting group MLAC Institute for Children and Families to educate parents on how to guide their children on the proper use of Internet and computers.

“Because it is our responsibility to provide our subscribers with quality Internet services, we are doing all we can to teach our broadband users how to properly use the internet," stated Jurist Gamban, head of globe fixed broadband business.

Gamban added, “Through this forum, we are actively involving the parents in guiding their children when they access the World Wide Web. We are concerned about how children are exposed to various Internet activities, from downloads, playing games, to watching videos and doing social networking and chatting.

Without restrictions, the Internet can be a source of information not suited for children, or worse, might pose risks that will threaten their minds and own security, Gamban said.— Newsbytes.ph

Using moral reasons to justify your inefficiencies is unforgivable.  First and foremost, your advertisement says "UNLIMITED BROADBAND" and that is what we, the subscribers, believed in when we decided to avail your service. IT IS NOT OUR FREAKING PROBLEM IF THE QUALITY OF YOUR INTERNET SERVICES SUCKS BECAUSE IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE US WITH BETTER SERVICES THAT DO NOT DETRIMENT OUR USAGE. . We are not paying for a limited connection you assholes. 

Who are you to tell us how we should use our internet? Last I heard,  I live in a democratic country. I am free to do whatever I want as long as it is in accordance with the law. I am intelligent enough to distinguish right from wrong so please do us a favor and stop your bullshit...using the internet properly, my ass. Don't kid yourself Ms. Gamban, stop hiding your statements in shitty euphemism because it's you and the rest of the capitalists in your company who should be adhering the moral standards of this society. 

I hope you all freaking burn in hell. 

I am switching to another provider.
