I think ang point lang is while we are celebrating our independence from colonizers, look how far we have come since that independence? Imbis na mag progress nag regress pa. Compare our country with other Asian countries, 50 years ago tayo ang leader ng Asia, ngayon leaps and bounds nalagpasan na tayo ng Singapore even ng Vietnam. We even import rice, eh ang laki ng bukid natin. Sad diba?
Maganda sagot ni @Rey Pinyoko at walang maisagot si Lea so she opted to correct his grammar instead and use the "don't judge me if you're as dirty as me" line of thinking when she is doing the same.. judging people who celebrates and finding positivity in the celebration.
Sa mga bumabatikos kay Lea MAGABROAD KASI KAYO!!! para makita niyo difference ng bansa natin sa iba or better yet alis kayo dito for a number of years tapos balik kayo. Sabihin niyo kung hindi may pinagbago. Mahirap iexplain sa inyo point niya kung hangang mall lang ang beauty at utak niyo
I agree too kay anon 1:14 at 3:30. I only had the chance to work sa ibang bansa as OFW for 10 years at totoo na malayung malayo ang ibang bansa sa kaunlaran kumpara sa ating bansa. Hindi ito malalaman kung hindi ka umalis ng bansang pilipinas.
Singapore??? Lmfao!! Try saying harsh things about their govt, at may paglalagyan ka agad sa kulungan nila! Doing things right? Right pa ba yung anti-homosexuality laws, caning punishment, and mandated race ratio nila? At this day and age??!!? Geez, if that's your definition of democracy, then no thanks!!!
6:16 Tama. there's a 16-year-old boy arrested over criticizing lee kuan yew. ang maganda kasi dito compared sa china or singapore, there is free speech compared doon. try ni lea mabuhay sa china or singapore at ipagsabi ang tutoong nangyayari sa karaniwang mamamayan doon, huli din siya.
china may be a superpower, but then most of its population are weak and have no voice. kung ano lang ang gustong ipakita ng gobyerno ang pwedeng ipakita ng media.
just like in any country, including the us of a, the rich become richer and the poor become poorer, and the media spin whatever story the higher ups want them to spin.
what we see is the PR machine that is at work all the time. we don't really know what's happening to the common people.
Just to correct you she also excels in academics, she graduated validictorian If I'm not mistaken .. so I guess she has the right to be miss-know-it-all
She sings like an angel but sadly, saksakan ng yabang. Funny thing is, i would've believed her had she said finland or sweden etc, but singapore??! Didn't think she was that ignorant. Akala ko ba isa siya sa mga sumusulong ng lgbt rights?! Then why choose a country like sg whose laws on race and gender preference are backward and disgusting?!
Because she really is smart. She graduated from OBM tapos nag-first year siya sa Ateneo (BS Bio). She was asked by the BBC in London when she was 17 kung ano ang gusto niyang maging kung hindi siya nakuha sa Ms Saigon, sabi niya "I really want to become a doctor."
yung makikitid utak sasabihin mayabang,OA, bye-bye lea, tita lea, etc... please be open minded. Magaling siang sumagot, on point and again, she even hash tagged #JustMe. Like all of us, may opinion sia.
Madami kasi satin di natin kawavelength si Lea kaya ganun iyong tingin natin sa kaniya. Pero for sure, iyong mga friends niyan sinasabayan siya sa katalinuhan. Hindi lang tayo sanay kasi mediocre karamihan mga nakakasalamuha natin.
Lahat naman kakampi ng mga tulad ni casiño! Nung panahon ni Ramos Kampi sila ke erap, nung si erap na nakaupo, Kampi sila ke arroyo, nag sigawan at palakpakan pa sila Ning mag oath taking sa Edsa remember?, nung si arroyo na nakaupo, Kampi na sila ke Pnoy! Now na si Pnoy na nakaupo e kakampihan Nila magpapakulong ke Pnoy....laging kakampi yang mga tulad nila Casiño!

Malawak ang pang-unawa ko. Ang makitid ang utak ay yung mga tanggap na lang ng tanggap sa kung ano ang sasabihin ni Tita Leah. Wala silang sariling opinyon. Para sa kanila, si Tita Leah na ang pinakamagaling at pinakamatalino. Sarado ang utak nila sa posibilidad na nagkakamali rin si Tita Leah. Ang open-minded are those who can see the real Lea Salonga behind her self-righteous statements, and those na nakakaaninag ng arrogance sa register niya.
Singapore is just like Subic or Davao city in terms of size and population kaya Madali pa siyang makontrol. The best example would be Lichtenstein! Well it's also a small country with a controlled population unlike the irresponsible rabbits in this idolatrous group of islands!
About the journalist only to those who have no clout nag a apply yung Sinabi niya coz yung mga me padrinos eh naeelect pa! Or usually konektado in marriage from some politician or influentials!
Team Lea ako dito totoo naman eh, kung di pa nauso OFW malamang kasing hirap na tayo ng Congo o Bangladesh walang maasahan sa gobyerno, magbayad man tayo ng buwis. Eh sa ibang bansa may suporta sa health, education, unemployment etc lahat iyan natutugunan. Dito kasi mga politiko ang unang agenda maka kubra. Kaya si Juan sariling sikap dahil kung hindi nganga.
On point ba yung sagot niya dun sa Rey Pinyoko? Pinuna lang naman niya yung grammar nung tao. Typical of her. Nangmamaliit ng mga mali-mali ang grammar.
Ikaw ang makitid ang utak dahil blinded ka sa idolet mo na kala mo Miss Perfect palagi e hindi naman nya iniisip ang mga tinitweet nya puro rant ng rant lang sya.
@12:32am, kung malawak panguunawa mo, alam mong opinyon niya lang yan kaya di ka dapat tumatalak pa jan lalo kung iba opinyon mo. Make sure your argument is fool-proof bago kumuda.
yeah, and you believe everything that a singer named Lea Salonga says? She's maybe an achiever in music but that doesn't mean everything she says is of substance.
E di lumipat ka ng Singapore! Please lang, nakakasuka na ang pagiging pontificating mo at yang kayabangan mo. Please liberate us from your arrogance. Isaksak mo sa baga mo yang Tony mo (na hindi na nasundan), na siyang puno't dulo ng kayabangan mo.
Grabe ka naman. Opinion yan hindi kayabangan! Tsaka totoo naman na di hamak mas safe sa SG compared sa pinas. Doon, kahit madaling araw safe gumala sa kalsada. E satin, the moment na dumilim na hindi na safe!
Kayo ang walang critical thinking, anon 1225 and all you Leah worshippers. Para sa inyo, the word of Lea is the word of the Lord. Kahunghangan! Kamangmangan! You are so easily impressed ng dahil lang sa kanyang pag-iinggles.
Di ka pa ba nakukulitan sa sarili mo na ang parati mong sagot iyong awards niya 2 decades ago, kahit walang kakone-koneksyon? Paganahin naman ang kukote kahit paminsan-minsan lang.
The only freedom we have is in social media. She has a point. Sige nga free ba kayo maglakad sa gabi ng hindi natatakot? Even in broad daylight ninanakawan mga pinoy kahit nakasakay ka pa sa kotse. From mrt issues, traffic, corruption etc. The problem with most pinoys is the "ok na yan" mentality.
Anon 12:49 we are not Leah's worshipper.. not because we agree with her "fan" na agad.. her tweet is a rethoric which meant to make us think.. and by the way she is taking about freedom from neocolonialism.
she could have said it in a constructive way..she can use her influence in a positive way. but to say, we don't have any reason to celebrate? We may be living now in a chaotic Philippines but at least be respectful to the heroes who have fought for this country long time ago. arrogant as always!
Ang konsepto ko ng kalayaan ay freedom to do or express whatever you want without stepping on anyone's toes in the process. And lest you think I'm butthurt, I'm not. Why should I be? I'm just pointing out how arrogant she is with her posts and replies if you only analyze her tone/register. Never ko pa siyang naobserve na makipagdebate in a cordial manner. She is always defensive, at talagang mataas ang tingin niya sa sarili niya. Try to observe din her nonverbal cues para maintindihan niyo.
It's not about having hang-ups but a display of discontent...to be honest we are not even free amongs ourselves as Filipinos, gudlak na lang sa bansa natin, sabagay matagal naman ng wala ang pagiging tunay na makabayan at nasyonalista...kakaunti na lang ang dugong Pilipino na may tunay na pagmamahal sa bansa... Karamihan sa atin ang mahal lang natin ang ating pamilya at sarili
wag masyadong magpakaintellectual historical event ang sine celebrate natin. kung true freedom ang hanap nya dun sya sa walang sibilisasyon for sure walang mangaalipin sa knya dun
Sa Twitter siya nagvevent out ng kanyang angst. Marami ring issues sa buhay ang babaeng ito. Not very apparent, pero makikita mo sa pananalita niya, at sa mga posts niya on social media.
You know why chewing a gum is against the law in Singapore! Don't be ignorant. In the Philippines, we always complain when step on gums when we walk on our streets and even find gums on the seats of PUVs and cinemas. So go ahead, rant about freedom in chewing a gum!
You measure freedom by gum chewing? At least in SG you don't get those discarded gums stuck in seats or soles. What do you get when you chew gum anyway?
There's freedom only if you're white or of Chinese-Singaporean or Hong Kong Chinese origin. They even treat people from mainland China as second class citizens.
No there's no freedom. You cant say anything bad against their government. Yes, no gum. Meron sila pwedeng i chew, tapos natutunaw na lang sa tongue. Ayaw din nila kay Lee Kuan Yew, but di sila nagsasalita agains him...sige Lea, doon kana.
kaya nga ang daming mangmang na pinoy eh nuh? mayabang sya sa akala nyo pero may mga natutulungan yan and take note ayaw nya ng pinapublish na gaya ng ibang artista puro may cam pa na nagdonate kuno, tse!
True, mayabang ang tingin sa kanya ng karamihan. Pero come to think of it, she's actually challenging the government and the society sa post nya na yan
for someone who chooses to stay in the philippines but sees nothing good about it, is just mind-boggling to me. learn to appreciate for crying out loud!
It's called HOPE. And it's because she still loves it. Hindi mawawala ang puna sa mga nakalabas ng bansa kasi ramdam na ramdam ang kahirapan at kaibahan.
As an ofw,i got her point..yes there's no perfect country but whenever i go home to PH wala pa ring pagbabago at makikita mo talaga ang difference sa ibang bansa, ang hirap pa rin ng buhay,kelangan pa rin mag abroad kasi pag walang kapit sa pulitiko walang trabaho..magulo ba?basta i got her point.
Hirap kasi sa iba dyan ayaw harapin ang katotohanan. Tama si Lea. Buti nga cxa kaya nya i voice out nararamdaman nya atay pake cxa sa bansa. Yung iba walang inatupag kung di manood ng tv o mag anak
Yup. Third commenter 12:18. Lol! Can't take the hard truth, and these people start saying she's arrogant for something she won years ago. Like it got anything to do with the tweets of Ms Lea.
Award is an award even its 2 decades ago she gave pride to the country, kaya nakilala pilipinas na magaling, e ikaw anong nacontribute mo besides crab mentality? Atleast she speaks her mind e ikaw dami mo kuda may nagagawa ka? Siya may boses ikaw wala
Review review din pag May time. A tony is awarded to someone who not only possesses a great voice but is also a great actress. Lea belongs to that elite circle of awardees that got all the major awards that year.
As for her post, I agree. We are not a free country if only for the corruption that we allow to happen.
2:12 Did you watch her plays? You can sing and act your part even when injured? Can you deliver an act live, one shot? And... Why is it that when she makes movies, those she did are still fondly remembered. Sana Maulit Muli?
How many times has she appeared on Broadway, and how many times has she won a Tony? Answer that, then compare her achievements to the likes of Audra and Idina. Still think she's all that?
Butthurt na naman kayo at ibabash si lea! She is telling the truth. Yung mga trolls iniinsist yung "freedom of speech" chenes against lea's argument pero sa totoo lang ang pilipinas ang isa sa pinakanotorious sa pagpatay ng journalists who expose truths in this society.
And there's the unsolved mass murder cases like the Ampatuans and the Fallen 44. So really, where's the freedom of speech there when simple information surrounding these murders cant even be delivered?
You celebrate because after all we are still blessed. Just think of the people in some parts of Africa who can't even eat once a day. Think about living in a war torn country when everyday they kidnap women and even girls to use them as sex slaves. Sometimes it's okay to think of positive things and be thankful for every little things.
Obviously her answers are too personal because she knew she must not tweet that way. Oh well what do I expect from this self serving person who tweets whatever she thinks about that is only making her look tactless and cheap.She might be thinking that she has brought to much glory for the country maybe thats why she acts like this. I dont even think this kind of tweets contribute to the progress of this nation. So better yet she pulls of her self and know her limits. Just like my grandma, she becomes very tactless and naughty when she starts to get too much age. Ughh
Tactless and Naughty, yes. But, definitely NOT cheap! Kung cheap yan, walang laman ung sinabi nya no.... but there's meat in there kung bubuksan mo lang ang utak mo....
eh Di bumalik sya SA Singapore nag susumiksik sya SA Pinas ,kasi dito may work sya mabuti nga pinagtitiyagaan pa syang panuurin ng mga pinoy ,sobrang reklamador wala naman ginagawa para maibsan yung problema get sinasabi nya
Kakairita ha! As in ipaglaban mo pa Ate ang baliko mong tweet. Uulitin ko. Ms. Salonga should re-read HER country's history so she might have her own answers to her stupid tweet. I dont like artists who feel socially relevant!
ok lang mag-voice-out ng frustrations pero sana naman i-celebrate naman ang ganda na meron ang pilipinas. kay lea, wala talaga eh, walang kelangan na i-celebrate sa pilipinas. nagagalit ako dahil sa dami ng mali sa bansa natin at nasasaktan ako bilang pilipino kapag kapwa-pilipino ang di makakita ng kahit isang maganda sa bansa natin. kahit isa lang (naku, pwedeng title ng movie).
Eh bakit ka bumalik ng Pilipinas? Laos ka lang din naman dito sa bansang walang kalayaan. Eh di bumalik ka sa New York kasi baka dun ang mga tao eh purr-FECT!!
11:13 a.m sa Denmark . 1:03 p.m. Karamihan sa Europe ang maayos na sistema at disiplinado ang mga citizen na malabo sa Pilipinas. Denmark ay halos walang maibalitang human hurting human mentally o physically o corruption. May maibalita man e yung lasing na nakatulog sa bar o kalsada o park o sa harapan ng bahay. Hinahayaan ngang matulog hanggang magising ng walang nanakaw at bugbog no.
matagal na tyong free from colonization so in this modern era magfocus nmn tyo sa free from corruption, progress, to make us proud of our country... she's been all over the world, she has seen things na bkt di ganito ang pinas na to think we are also a rich country... i'm an ofw, been to other contries... mapapaisip ka tlga na bkt walang progress na nagyayari sa bansa naten... i think that's what she wanted to say... what she wants us to think about... akala nyo walang syang point but i really really get her... something to think about for you all...
tama naman yung mga nagcocomment. wala namang bansa na katulad ng sinasabi nyang debt-free etc etc. kita nyo, kahit si teddy casino hindi nasagot kung may alam siyang bansang ganon. aminin na kasi ni lea na mali naman talaga yung tweet nya na komo hindi debt free wala nang dapat icelebrate. hahahaha.
I wonder why she's still in the country despite all her frustrations? Lea, you're free to leave, you're free and we'll be also free from your whinings. A win win solution.
To each his own! if you don't want to celebrate Independece Day,then don't! If you think the Philippines is not free yet,you're free to leave and go to a country that's free. You yourself Lea is not free yet, kc nasa Pinas ka,Ingles ang salita mo, kinikita mo pesos, at jan ka nakatira. dami mong arte! Hala,bitbitin ang maleta at mangibang bansa! Layas!!!
Bakit ba may mga taong sinasamba tong si Tita. Okay fine matalino siya, magaling siyang kumanta, pero arogante at ignorante din sa napakaraming bagay. Nakatira sa perpekto niyang mundo. Hindi siguro siya proud maging pinoy no??
Sobrang nega talaga ng posts coming from someone who should have served as inspiration despite the negativity of life in the country. Dahil lang na traffic sya nung isang araw. Nakaka-sad naman coming from someone I look up to. Naging icon of negativity si Lea.
The thing is, alam naman natin ang point ni Lea about so many bad things in this country. But as a citizen, wala naman mangyayari kung puro nega lang ang ibabato natin sa gobyerno.
Ipokrito kasi karamihan sa mga Pinoy. Makabayan kuno pero walang iniaambag sa bayan. Napakataas ng potensyal ng bansa natin pero tinalo pa tayo ng mas maliliit na bansa. Naging Malaya pero hindi umunlad. Kung sa tingin nyo malayo na narating ng Pinas, try nyo mamuhay sa ibang bansa at makikita nyo kung gaano tayo kahuli.
kahit di pa kayo pumunta sa ibang bansa try nyong mag search sa youtube ng mga vlogs ng mga ordinaryong tao sa ibang bansa gaya ng mga vlogs about teen mommy. makikita nyo ang big difference ng bansa natin sa ibang bansa gaya ng Amerika. ang taas ng standard nila sa kahit anong bagay. concern lang si Lea sa tingin ko, gusto nya siguro ng wake-up call para sa ating mga Pinoy.
If you would look and compare to India, they're much poverty stricken and have corruption anywhere yet they celebrate extravagantly their independence. It's just the attitude of being grateful, wala yata noon si lea..
I agree with Leah. Nasaan ang freedom sa pinas ngayon. Mismong sariling mong bahay wala kang freedom puro fear lalo na gabi, alingusngus lang dilat agad ang mata mo at baka pasukin ka. Pag naglalakad ka asan ang freedom, ni halos dimo nga mailabas ang celphone o kaya baka mahold-up ka. Asan ang freedom? May freedom nga sa colonizers pero mismong pilipino ng ngtatanggal na freedom na mamuhay ng safe.
minsan iniisip ko sana na colonize na lang tayo ng US. At least parang HAwaii tayo, province ng USA. COme to think of it, muka namang state side ang mga tao e. At least, protektado pa islands natin from China.
May point si Lea Salonga. Ang kalayaan lang na meron tayo ay freedom of speech na kung titingnan mo ay sobrang inabuso ng mga pilipino. Ang totong kalayaan ay lahat ng bata malayang nakakapasok sa eskwela para makapagaral. Ang totong kalayaan ay malaya kang makakalabas ng bahay na di ka natatakot manakawan. Ang totong kalayaan ay malaya kang makakapag pagamot na hindi ka mababaon sa utang. Ang totoong kalayaan ay makakapasyal ka sa mga mall na di ka natatakot baka may naglagay ng bomba.
hay naku Lea..antanda mo na, di ka pa din masaya sa lupang tinubuan mo.. bat ba kasi nagtsatsaga ka tumira sa Pinas eh amerikano naman asawa mo..dami mo reklamo.. sa Pinas ka naman kumikita..
Most of the Scandinavian countries are almost debt-free, corruption-free and poverty-free. Why are Filipinos always angry when someone tells it like it is
I don't know if it's just me but it really takes an intelligent & open mind to be able to relate to Lea Salonga's tweets. I love her honesty. Brutal sometimes, but that's how she speaks her mind. People tend to forget that Lea lived abroad for so many years kaya hindi nya din talaga mapigilang sumama ang loob kasi umalis at bumalik cya ng Pilipinas na walang pagbabago ang sistema.
Hindi mayabang si Ms. Lea, sinasabi lang niya ang totoo. Totoo namang maraming problema ang Pilipinas. Bakit kaya natin sinecelebrate ang Independence Day? Hangang ngayon, hindi pa rin umuunlad ang bansa. Kasalanan din yan ng mga voters kasi hindi nila alam kung sino ang tama para maging presidente. Binoto ng mga Pilipino si Noynoy, ngayon gusto na nila patalsikin.
Kung di nyo parin ma kuha ang ibig sabihin ni lea salonga, gamitin nyo ang natitirang braincells nyo at basahin ung "animal farm" book ni George Owel. baka dun medjo tumaas din ung level ng pag iisip nyo at hindi lang putak ng putak, manipis lang sya na libro kaya makakaya nyo yun basahin bago dumugo mga ilong nyo
If i were her she could have ignore it. I mean she is different level and in my case i will never talk back to people in my level.
ReplyDeleteBut do you agree with ms.lea na we shouldnt celebrate independence day just because we are not debt free etc?i wanna know ur views about this.
DeleteI think ang point lang is while we are celebrating our independence from colonizers, look how far we have come since that independence? Imbis na mag progress nag regress pa.

Delete3:47 hindi nga nya masagot si ragingbulex.
Deletealam nyo naman ang dahilan ng pagiging PA-BIBO ni lea.
Yun eh para pagtakpan ang insecurities nya
coming from
a dysfunctional family
Ang utak ni Aling Maria maliit pa sa buto ng kamatis! Hindi mo ba naintindihan yung huling post ni Lea?
Delete1:14 PM you got it exactly right! Kapag may pagkukumparahan ka dun mo talaga nakikita kung gaano ka- left behind ang Pinas!
DeleteI agree too kay anon 1:14 at 3:30. I only had the chance to work sa ibang bansa as OFW for 10 years at totoo na malayung malayo ang ibang bansa sa kaunlaran kumpara sa ating bansa. Hindi ito malalaman kung hindi ka umalis ng bansang pilipinas.

Delete1249 hindi ako naiimpress sa pag-iingles nya. Pero totoo naman ang sinabi nya, palibhasa iisa lang ang konsepto mo ng kalayaan.
Deleteshe could have said it in a constructive way..she can use her influence in a positive way. but to say, we don't have any reason to celebrate? We may be living now in a chaotic Philippines but at least be respectful to the heroes who have fought for this country long time ago. arrogant as always!
DeleteFinally someone who made sense. I like anon 2:01's comment. He/she gets it, at di sya butthurt sa nasabi ni Lea.
DeleteAnon 2:01 you're the only one who actually made a comment na may sense
DeleteAng konsepto ko ng kalayaan ay freedom to do or express whatever you want without stepping on anyone's toes in the process. And lest you think I'm butthurt, I'm not. Why should I be? I'm just pointing out how arrogant she is with her posts and replies if you only analyze her tone/register. Never ko pa siyang naobserve na makipagdebate in a cordial manner. She is always defensive, at talagang mataas ang tingin niya sa sarili niya. Try to observe din her nonverbal cues para maintindihan niyo.
Delete2:01 the only sensible comment ever. Yung ibang commenters halatang 3rd world ang mentality.
Deleteawan ko ba for someone as successful as her, sya pa tong maraming hangups!
ReplyDeleteHindi hang ups yan te, thought provoking ang posts nya, hindi puro kababawan lang. Hindi lang kayo magkawavelength kaya hindi mo masakyan.
DeleteIt's not about having hang-ups but a display of discontent...to be honest we are not even free amongs ourselves as Filipinos, gudlak na lang sa bansa natin, sabagay matagal naman ng wala ang pagiging tunay na makabayan at nasyonalista...kakaunti na lang ang dugong Pilipino na may tunay na pagmamahal sa bansa... Karamihan sa atin ang mahal lang natin ang ating pamilya at sarili
DeleteShe may be successful sa mata ng mga Pinoy, but she knows she's not all that.
Deletewag masyadong magpakaintellectual historical event ang sine celebrate natin. kung true freedom ang hanap nya dun sya sa walang sibilisasyon for sure walang mangaalipin sa knya dun
DeleteI like how TITA lea answered all commenters. :)
ReplyDeletebecause she answered all in English? I don't find her answers on point!
DeleteAng sipag magreply ni Lola Lea ah!
ReplyDeleteSa Twitter siya nagvevent out ng kanyang angst. Marami ring issues sa buhay ang babaeng ito. Not very apparent, pero makikita mo sa pananalita niya, at sa mga posts niya on social media.
DeleteYan ang epekto ng hindi lumaki sa bansang Pilipinas. Hindi alam ang history kung bakit tayo nagcecelebrate ng Independence day sa june 12.
ReplyDeleteShe spent her elem and high school days in the philippines. Just so you know.
DeleteShe spent her elem and high school days in the philippines. Just so you know.
DeleteUm, she grew in Pinas. Studied there too. Till college freshman year.
DeleteIbang konspeto ng kalayaan ang sinasabi ni Lea
Deletemasyado k naman literal.
DeleteFreedon in Singapore? Cant even chew a gum in Singapore. Lol
ReplyDeleteYou know why chewing a gum is against the law in Singapore! Don't be ignorant. In the Philippines, we always complain when step on gums when we walk on our streets and even find gums on the seats of PUVs and cinemas. So go ahead, rant about freedom in chewing a gum!
DeleteNot true. They can actually keep gums in their bags but only for personal consumption. How say you?
Deleteyes you can but you should not just throw it anywhere....
DeleteYou measure freedom by gum chewing? At least in SG you don't get those discarded gums stuck in seats or soles. What do you get when you chew gum anyway?
DeleteThere's freedom only if you're white or of Chinese-Singaporean or Hong Kong Chinese origin. They even treat people from mainland China as second class citizens.
DeleteNo there's no freedom. You cant say anything bad against their government. Yes, no gum. Meron sila pwedeng i chew, tapos natutunaw na lang sa tongue. Ayaw din nila kay Lee Kuan Yew, but di sila nagsasalita agains him...sige Lea, doon kana.
Deletetweet of ragingbulex is best tweet for me
ReplyDelete#justme
habang tumatanda yan lalong yumayabang
ReplyDeleteyep, arrogance has consumed her!
Deletekaya nga ang daming mangmang na pinoy eh nuh? mayabang sya sa akala nyo pero may mga natutulungan yan and take note ayaw nya ng pinapublish na gaya ng ibang artista puro may cam pa na nagdonate kuno, tse!
ReplyDeleteTrue, mayabang ang tingin sa kanya ng karamihan. Pero come to think of it, she's actually challenging the government and the society sa post nya na yan
Deletefor someone who chooses to stay in the philippines but sees nothing good about it, is just mind-boggling to me. learn to appreciate for crying out loud!
ReplyDeletee kc di nya kayang tumira sa ibang bansa na walang maid .
DeleteIt's called HOPE.
DeleteAnd it's because she still loves it.
Hindi mawawala ang puna sa mga nakalabas ng bansa kasi ramdam na ramdam ang kahirapan at kaibahan.
5:43 maraming pilipinong ganyan, di kayang walang maid. it's sad in a way...
DeleteNapakamakabayan talaga niya. Hindi alam ang ibig sabihin at pinagmulan ng araw ng kalayaan. Tsk!
ReplyDeleteAs an ofw,i got her point..yes there's no perfect country but whenever i go home to PH wala pa ring pagbabago at makikita mo talaga ang difference sa ibang bansa, ang hirap pa rin ng buhay,kelangan pa rin mag abroad kasi pag walang kapit sa pulitiko walang trabaho..magulo ba?basta i got her point.
ReplyDeleteHirap kasi sa iba dyan ayaw harapin ang katotohanan. Tama si Lea. Buti nga cxa kaya nya i voice out nararamdaman nya atay pake cxa sa bansa. Yung iba walang inatupag kung di manood ng tv o mag anak
ReplyDeletetulog kana mommy Ligaya
DeleteI'll bet somebody's rebut here is about Tiyang Lea's tony & olivier awards. :)
ReplyDelete2 decades ago pa yun.
Na hindi na nasundan dahil hindi naman talaga siya magaling. It takes more than great vocals to be considered a great musical theater actress.
DeleteYup. Third commenter 12:18. Lol! Can't take the hard truth, and these people start saying she's arrogant for something she won years ago. Like it got anything to do with the tweets of Ms Lea.
DeleteAward is an award even its 2 decades ago she gave pride to the country, kaya nakilala pilipinas na magaling, e ikaw anong nacontribute mo besides crab mentality? Atleast she speaks her mind e ikaw dami mo kuda may nagagawa ka? Siya may boses ikaw wala
Delete@ 1:01
DeleteReview review din pag May time. A tony is awarded to someone who not only possesses a great voice but is also a great actress. Lea belongs to that elite circle of awardees that got all the major awards that year.
As for her post, I agree. We are not a free country if only for the corruption that we allow to happen.
@ 3:38
DeleteHAHAHAHA si lea magaling umarte?
Ampft….
NANUNOOD KABA NG PELIKULA NYA?
Kaya walang kumitang pelikula yan eh!
2:12 Did you watch her plays? You can sing and act your part even when injured? Can you deliver an act live, one shot? And... Why is it that when she makes movies, those she did are still fondly remembered. Sana Maulit Muli?
Delete2:12
DeleteTheater is a different medium as compared to a movie. Are you familiar with the tony and Olivier?
Lastly, since when has great acting been equivalent to a box office success? And are you even sure flop ang movies Nya?
2;12 tony is The tony Award! Research research din pag may time. Hindi yung puro telenovelas at jeje movie lang ang alam!
DeleteHow many times has she appeared on Broadway, and how many times has she won a Tony? Answer that, then compare her achievements to the likes of Audra and Idina. Still think she's all that?
DeleteFull of sense tlga tong si bruhang lea. I love her PERIOD.
ReplyDeleteButthurt na naman kayo at ibabash si lea! She is telling the truth. Yung mga trolls iniinsist yung "freedom of speech" chenes against lea's argument pero sa totoo lang ang pilipinas ang isa sa pinakanotorious sa pagpatay ng journalists who expose truths in this society.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's the unsolved mass murder cases like the Ampatuans and the Fallen 44.
DeleteSo really, where's the freedom of speech there when simple information surrounding these murders cant even be delivered?
You celebrate because after all we are still blessed. Just think of the people in some parts of Africa who can't even eat once a day. Think about living in a war torn country when everyday they kidnap women and even girls to use them as sex slaves. Sometimes it's okay to think of positive things and be thankful for every little things.
ReplyDeleteActually, dito sa Pinas more than half the population are starving and ang dami din kaya dito victim ng human trafficking
Delete10:32 aren't you striving for the best for the philippines? So kuntento kana sa "atleast we are better than africa" ? How pathetic can you be.
DeleteObviously her answers are too personal because she knew she must not tweet that way. Oh well what do I expect from this self serving person who tweets whatever she thinks about that is only making her look tactless and cheap.She might be thinking that she has brought to much glory for the country maybe thats why she acts like this. I dont even think this kind of tweets contribute to the progress of this nation. So better yet she pulls of her self and know her limits. Just like my grandma, she becomes very tactless and naughty when she starts to get too much age. Ughh
ReplyDeleteThat tweet is not cheap to me
DeleteTactless and Naughty, yes. But, definitely NOT cheap!
DeleteKung cheap yan, walang laman ung sinabi nya no.... but there's meat in there kung bubuksan mo lang ang utak mo....
Talangka kasi ang utak mo eh.
eh Di bumalik sya SA Singapore nag susumiksik sya SA Pinas ,kasi dito may work sya mabuti nga pinagtitiyagaan pa syang panuurin ng mga pinoy ,sobrang reklamador wala naman ginagawa para maibsan yung problema get sinasabi nya
ReplyDeleteTeh, try mo po mag-work sa ibang bansa para malaman mo po kung bakit maraming pinoy ang umaalis ng bansa
Delete12:45 eh ikaw may ginagawa karin ba? So ok lang sayo na na ganyan nalang ang pinas?
DeleteKakairita ha! As in ipaglaban mo pa Ate ang baliko mong tweet. Uulitin ko. Ms. Salonga should re-read HER country's history so she might have her own answers to her stupid tweet. I dont like artists who feel socially relevant!
ReplyDeleteIkaw Teh? Socially relevant ka rin po ba?
Deletepeg ni ati Lea si nega star...bumaba ang dignidad ng dahil lang sa twitter
ReplyDeleteYuh, buti yung isa tumigil na.. Etong si tita grabe kayabangan! Sarap igulong sa putik!
DeleteHi Tita Lea, when are you leaving for Singapore? Can you please stay there for good? Pretty please?
ReplyDeleteTeh, try mo po rin mag-Singapore para malaman mo kung ano ibig sabihin ng independence and good governance :)
Deleteok lang mag-voice-out ng frustrations pero sana naman i-celebrate naman ang ganda na meron ang pilipinas. kay lea, wala talaga eh, walang kelangan na i-celebrate sa pilipinas. nagagalit ako dahil sa dami ng mali sa bansa natin at nasasaktan ako bilang pilipino kapag kapwa-pilipino ang di makakita ng kahit isang maganda sa bansa natin. kahit isa lang (naku, pwedeng title ng movie).
ReplyDeleteHindi kaya ni lea sagutin si rangingBulex dahil may LAMAN ang tanong nya.
ReplyDeletekaya yun grammar nalang ang pinansin.
BWAHAHAH
PAHIYA SI TITA LEA
Teh,
DeleteBaka ikaw po ang kinulang sa comprehension
ragingBulex said "Your stupd" to which Leah corrected with sarcasm to check himself first.
Gets na po? Oh balik na po sa pag-aral ng Basic English 101
The only artist I want to personally say "SHUT THE #$&^ UP" to. Get off your high horse you hag!
ReplyDeleteShe won't shut up because she has a mouth. Ikaw din, kaya ka nakakapagsalita kasi may bunganga ka.
DeleteLahat na lang may sagot tong si Coach Lea. Napaka perfect mong tao. Hay!
ReplyDeleteHaving an answer to everything does not mean you are perfect. It only means you are smart...and educable.
DeleteEh bakit ka bumalik ng Pilipinas? Laos ka lang din naman dito sa bansang walang kalayaan. Eh di bumalik ka sa New York kasi baka dun ang mga tao eh purr-FECT!!
ReplyDeleteYou are too sensitive. Kontento ka sa freedom mo pero anytime pwede kang patayin or tutukan ng baril ng kahit na sino?
DeleteAnd how is that different from any other country aber? Mag cancel na ba ang US ng July 4th celebration nila because of this logic? Please.
DeleteIf meron sensitive dito, it's your get off your high horse Tita.
FYI agent blue at missjoverZ , check Finland at Denmark how peaceful ang pamumuhay nila. I like you Lea Salonga for telling the truth.
ReplyDelete4:24 mali ka nakatira ako sa Scandinavia at maraming homeless dito, grabe din ang krimen lalo na kung non white ka.
DeleteTama!
DeleteMadami talaga sa Europe ang very safe na bansa. I forgot which country pero may isang bansang wala silang army kasi super safe ang bansa nila.
Deletetalaga wala krimen ni isa wala mahirap perpecto ba yung lugar n yan
DeleteKahanga hanga si Lea kaysa ibang artistang tameme dahil takot natira ng pailalim ng pers sistah!
Delete11:13 a.m sa Denmark . 1:03 p.m. Karamihan sa Europe ang maayos na sistema at disiplinado ang mga citizen na malabo sa Pilipinas. Denmark ay halos walang maibalitang human hurting human mentally o physically o corruption. May maibalita man e yung lasing na nakatulog sa bar o kalsada o park o sa harapan ng bahay. Hinahayaan ngang matulog hanggang magising ng walang nanakaw at bugbog no.
Delete5:27 a.m. Part ba ng Finland o Denmark ang Scandinavia ? Makacomment lang hindi na nag-iisip.
DeleteDenmark is part of scandinavia.
DeleteScandinavia ang tawag sa grupo ng Denmark, Sweden at Norway. Some consider Finland din. But it's not a country itself. Kuha mo 7:41p.m.?
DeleteSingaporean yata ang husband nya db?
ReplyDeleteFil-Am po and based in New York
DeleteParang Chinese something.
DeleteKorean American husband ni Lea...
DeleteAmerican Japanese ang husband ni Lea.
Deletematagal na tyong free from colonization so in this modern era magfocus nmn tyo sa free from corruption, progress, to make us proud of our country... she's been all over the world, she has seen things na bkt di ganito ang pinas na to think we are also a rich country... i'm an ofw, been to other contries... mapapaisip ka tlga na bkt walang progress na nagyayari sa bansa naten... i think that's what she wanted to say... what she wants us to think about... akala nyo walang syang point but i really really get her... something to think about for you all...
ReplyDeletetama naman yung mga nagcocomment. wala namang bansa na katulad ng sinasabi nyang debt-free etc etc. kita nyo, kahit si teddy casino hindi nasagot kung may alam siyang bansang ganon. aminin na kasi ni lea na mali naman talaga yung tweet nya na komo hindi debt free wala nang dapat icelebrate. hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteDaming Hanash ni Tyang Lea....
ReplyDeleteAnd the High and Mighty award goes to...Manang Lea! lol.
ReplyDeleteSorry but Leah is right.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why she's still in the country despite all her frustrations? Lea, you're free to leave, you're free and we'll be also free from your whinings. A win win solution.
ReplyDeleteThe freedom that gave us the chance to rise again is the same freedom that is pulling us down.
ReplyDeleteSupalpal si inang. Walang masagot na debt-free, crime-free, corrupt-free and poverty-free country. LOL
ReplyDeleteTo each his own! if you don't want to celebrate Independece Day,then don't! If you think the Philippines is not free yet,you're free to leave and go to a country that's free. You yourself Lea is not free yet, kc nasa Pinas ka,Ingles ang salita mo, kinikita mo pesos, at jan ka nakatira. dami mong arte! Hala,bitbitin ang maleta at mangibang bansa! Layas!!!
ReplyDeleteBakit ba may mga taong sinasamba tong si Tita. Okay fine matalino siya, magaling siyang kumanta, pero arogante at ignorante din sa napakaraming bagay. Nakatira sa perpekto niyang mundo. Hindi siguro siya proud maging pinoy no??
ReplyDeleteMag tagalog nga baluktot pa. Yan ba ang tunay na pinoy?
DeleteSobrang nega talaga ng posts coming from someone who should have served as inspiration despite the negativity of life in the country. Dahil lang na traffic sya nung isang araw. Nakaka-sad naman coming from someone I look up to. Naging icon of negativity si Lea.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, alam naman natin ang point ni Lea about so many bad things in this country. But as a citizen, wala naman mangyayari kung puro nega lang ang ibabato natin sa gobyerno.
Haaayst. Ang stubborn pa ng mga replies nya.
True
DeleteIpokrito kasi karamihan sa mga Pinoy. Makabayan kuno pero walang iniaambag sa bayan. Napakataas ng potensyal ng bansa natin pero tinalo pa tayo ng mas maliliit na bansa. Naging Malaya pero hindi umunlad. Kung sa tingin nyo malayo na narating ng Pinas, try nyo mamuhay sa ibang bansa at makikita nyo kung gaano tayo kahuli.
ReplyDeletekahit di pa kayo pumunta sa ibang bansa try nyong mag search sa youtube ng mga vlogs ng mga ordinaryong tao sa ibang bansa gaya ng mga vlogs about teen mommy. makikita nyo ang big difference ng bansa natin sa ibang bansa gaya ng Amerika. ang taas ng standard nila sa kahit anong bagay. concern lang si Lea sa tingin ko, gusto nya siguro ng wake-up call para sa ating mga Pinoy.
ReplyDeleteOA si Lea, pero nakuha ko punto nya. Masyado namang literal ang mga nagcomment dun sa post nya.
ReplyDeleteHayaan nyo na c tita Lea nsa malchora stage na cya kaya laging moody.
ReplyDeleteIf you would look and compare to India, they're much poverty stricken and have corruption anywhere yet they celebrate extravagantly their independence. It's just the attitude of being grateful, wala yata noon si lea..
ReplyDeleteI agree with Leah. Nasaan ang freedom sa pinas ngayon. Mismong sariling mong bahay wala kang freedom puro fear lalo na gabi, alingusngus lang dilat agad ang mata mo at baka pasukin ka. Pag naglalakad ka asan ang freedom, ni halos dimo nga mailabas ang celphone o kaya baka mahold-up ka. Asan ang freedom? May freedom nga sa colonizers pero mismong pilipino ng ngtatanggal na freedom na mamuhay ng safe.
ReplyDeleteminsan iniisip ko sana na colonize na lang tayo ng US. At least parang HAwaii tayo, province ng USA. COme to think of it, muka namang state side ang mga tao e. At least, protektado pa islands natin from China.
ReplyDelete10:42 dios mio! mag-HISTORY lessons ka nga...
DeleteMay point si Lea Salonga. Ang kalayaan lang na meron tayo ay freedom of speech na kung titingnan mo ay sobrang inabuso ng mga pilipino. Ang totong kalayaan ay lahat ng bata malayang nakakapasok sa eskwela para makapagaral. Ang totong kalayaan ay malaya kang makakalabas ng bahay na di ka natatakot manakawan. Ang totong kalayaan ay malaya kang makakapag pagamot na hindi ka mababaon sa utang. Ang totoong kalayaan ay makakapasyal ka sa mga mall na di ka natatakot baka may naglagay ng bomba.
ReplyDeleteread between the lines ika nga, wag masyadong literal. valid pa din naman ang mga arguments nya
ReplyDeletehay naku Lea..antanda mo na, di ka pa din masaya sa lupang tinubuan mo.. bat ba kasi nagtsatsaga ka tumira sa Pinas eh amerikano naman asawa mo..dami mo reklamo.. sa Pinas ka naman kumikita..
ReplyDeleteMost of the Scandinavian countries are almost debt-free, corruption-free and poverty-free. Why are Filipinos always angry when someone tells it like it is
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's just me but it really takes an intelligent & open mind to be able to relate to Lea Salonga's tweets. I love her honesty. Brutal sometimes, but that's how she speaks her mind. People tend to forget that Lea lived abroad for so many years kaya hindi nya din talaga mapigilang sumama ang loob kasi umalis at bumalik cya ng Pilipinas na walang pagbabago ang sistema.
ReplyDeleteCynical Lea
ReplyDeleteHindi siya cynical, nagsasabi lang siya ng totoo. Corrupt ang Pilipinas at hindi umuunlad gaya ng ibang bansa.
DeleteHindi mayabang si Ms. Lea, sinasabi lang niya ang totoo. Totoo namang maraming problema ang Pilipinas. Bakit kaya natin sinecelebrate ang Independence Day? Hangang ngayon, hindi pa rin umuunlad ang bansa. Kasalanan din yan ng mga voters kasi hindi nila alam kung sino ang tama para maging presidente. Binoto ng mga Pilipino si Noynoy, ngayon gusto na nila patalsikin.
ReplyDeleteKung di nyo parin ma kuha ang ibig sabihin ni lea salonga, gamitin nyo ang natitirang braincells nyo at basahin ung "animal farm" book ni George Owel. baka dun medjo tumaas din ung level ng pag iisip nyo at hindi lang putak ng putak, manipis lang sya na libro kaya makakaya nyo yun basahin bago dumugo mga ilong nyo
ReplyDelete
