Re: If he’s TGIF, why leave?

Pinoys . . . who questioned the morality of Filipinos living abroad, specifically the US oF A, are those who don’t have the chance – the privilege – to get out from that hellhole Philippines.

Came to mind, Pinoys are lined-up like ducks in a gallery before the US Consulate in Manila, stepping on each other, just to get in , to acquire the most coveted of ’em all . . . a tourist visa.

While others, their ilk, with placards up in the air shouting their lungs dry . . . America go home!

When does the love of America begin, when the love of the Philippines ends?

Does that love of one’s birth expressed by a few in this forum really exist?

Or, these few are going gaga because it’s politically correct to say. To claim such devotion to the Philippines, when you’re sworn in and renounced it upon the granting of US citizenship – is not only suspect, but ludicrous.

Ergo, if you’re TGIF staying illegally in America why not leave? Why stay in this country, riding the wave of uncertainty, with an expired visa, and all the restrictions thrown in your face?

Aaaaaah! The Pinoy . . . an smartass, the chameleon par excellence!

Patriotism does not fade . . . it disappears!
