    1. Great guy this one, I may not agree with everything that has ever come out of his mouth, but he knows how to roll with another person's idea without being swayed. Saka alam niya din iseparate ang beliefs niya sa friendships niya.

    2. Majority of the Filipino people share the same sentiments Teddy! Thank you for defending us!

  2. totoo naman. andaming big time smugglers, baket yung mga balikbayan boxes pa pinag-iinitan nila. tapos "confiscated", saan napupunta? sana sinabi nyong ibabalik sa nagpadala, pero sila sila din naman sa customs naghahatian nung mga confiscated items.

    1. Sus para naman hindi natin alam ang kalakaran dyan sa Customs! Kaya huwag maglinis linisan ang mga buwaya! Pare-pareho lang kayo ng balat! Makakapal!

  4. Teddy has long been tweeting his opinions. He was put to light nga lng dhil sa tweet nya in favor of Marian but before that he has long been tweeting in almost all of the news. Very intellectual, spontaneous and humorous

  8. I love Teddy Locsin! I am an ofw and work to the bones. I am thinking to send them goods from Japan for Christmas. But... I changed my mind. I dont want these greedy people to take advantage of my hard earned "padala". Might as well send cash.

    I feel sad for the Philippines whenever I explore in this country. I always utter, Sana ganito sa pinas. Siguro ganito din ang pinas kung hindi corrupt ang govt at hindi mangmang ang taong bayan sa pagpili ng taong magsisilbi sa bayan. Mayaman tau sa natural resources. Wla lng disiplina, integrity, at pagmamahal sa bayan.

    Im so scared for the future at next generation. May uuwian pa ba kme sa pinas? :(

    3. 1:13 gusto ko yung sinabi mong ' mangmang na taumbayan'! Totoo iyan! Ang daming mangmang na b*b*tante sa Pinas! Nagpapadala sa emosyon! Gamitin ang utak hindi ang emosyon sa pagboto! Kaya hibdi umaasenso angbansa natin e! Sinasamantala lang ng mga ga**ng pulitiko!

    4. Wala na better take your family and live in Japan . Same sentiments when I went to another country lagi kong naiisip "sana ganito rin sa Pinas".

  10. Ano to, binuksan siguro tlaga yung boxes para malihis sa totoong pakay na pag taas ng tax at mas maaccept ng tao yung pag taas ng tax? Kumbaga, make the evil a lesser evil to make it more palatable? Lumang tactic na yan ha.

    1. Correct! Lumang taktika para mag-impose na naman ng bagong tax o taasan ang tax! Saan napupunta ang tax na nakokolekta nyo mga tinamaan kayo ng lin**k!

  11. Matagal na ang issue na ito about panghahalungkat ng mga bagahe at pagpapatong ng "TAX" noon pa so bakit ngayon lang nag-iingay ang mga "concern sa mga ofws" kuno? Ako at mga kakilala ko ay more than 20 years ng nagpapadala at lagi na lang nahihirapan mga pinadadalhan namin sa Pilipinas na mailabas sa Customs ang mga package. Diyan sa may airport. Mismong mga foreigners na kahit mga used ng mga gamit yung nasa box nila ay nireresibuhan sila ng mas higit pa sa presyo ng gadgets nila. Itinawag na namin yan many years ago kila Tulfo Brothers, ABS at GMA pero wala namang sumeryosong ibalita o ipush hard sa nakakaitaas para matanggal ang mga M na yan! Ningas kugon lang yang pag-iingay ninyong kunwari ay concern kayo sa amin pero after ng election, balik ulit sa dati ang mga M na yan!

    1. Ay..may tv po ba kayo? Or may nababasa ba kayong post sa FB about this issue? Kung noon po kasi illegal na binubuksan nila, ngayon gagawin na "sana" nilang legal ang pagbukas ng balikbayan boxes. Ok na po ba kayo?

    2. May point ka 2:51! Nagpapalamig lang ang mga buwaya bago umatake ulit!

    3. 9:23am Saang bundok ka galing at hindi mo alam na pabalik-balik lang yang issueng yan ha!? Wala namang nangyayari puro nakawan pa rin sa Customs at Airport. Hoy ! Baka ikaw ang walang TV sa bawat silok ng bahay? Baka nga rin wala pa sa kalahati ng lakas ng wifi namin ang gamit mo! Makacomment ka lang hindi mo muna nireresearch ang history ng pagkagahaman ng sistema ng Pilipinas! Isa ka na dun!

  12. Go teddy! Relate ako kasi nangyari na sa akin. They got my chocolates! Chocolates lang yun pero grabe naman. Pagnana*** pa rin yung pagkuha na hindi para sa inyo! That was supposed to be pasalubong. Nakakainis ang customs!!! Booooooo!

    1. Kaya pala yung dating kapitbahay namin na nagta-trabaho sa Customs ang tatay laging maraming chocolates at namimigay pa sa mga kaibigan at kaeskwela eh wala naman member ng pamilya na nasa abroad na magpapadala ng imported chocolates! Lagay o nenok?

  14. To the mor-** who was asking Da Who is Teddy Locsin Jr in the previous posts, here he is in all his no-holds-barred glory. He doesn't mince words and he's the one you want on your side.

  15. Eh nakakapikon naman kasi. May stricter rules pa silang nalalaman. Ang tignan nila is yung mga kabalbalan sa customs & airports na nangnana*** ng contents ng mga balikbayan boxes.

  16. Medyo Tita Lea levels na si sir...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Reason for not declaring it, is because people from customs steal valuable items. Plain and simple truth!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Honesty is the best policy. Sana i-declare din naman natin ang malalaking bagay at magbayad tayo ng tamang buwis para sa ikauunlad ng bayan natin.

  19. Exactly my sentiment. WTF

  20. My husband last year sent me a small box which has his old phone a Samsung note 2. It tool 4 months before I got the box because it was stuck in customs. They charged me 2.4k for that old phone and what's worse a lot of edible items were missing. I got 3 chocolates left from the 1 whole pack my husband sent, they opened the pack of chocolates and took all but 3. They also crushed the head of the Easter bunny chocolate that's for my daughter. My daughter got a beheaded easter bunny. It was so sad.

  23. Madami din kasing mga online sellers ang nagpapadala thru the guise of balikbayan boxes pero mga benta pala. Smuggling na rin yun kasi di nakadeclare na taxable na pala. Just my two cents on this issue.

  24. Teddy Boy for the win!

  25. LOL Kung si Lea ang nagsalita, ang daming sinasabi. Kung si Teddy at nagmumura pa, okay lang. How patriarchal!

  26. Agree with him 100%! They go after OFW's who work so hard for their families and yet those smugglers wala lang. I admire his bluntness.

  27. Try din kasi nila ausin ung palakad sa airport. I know theres a certain ml for lotions and perfume that you can only travel with. Pero i wonder bakit pag imported kinukuha but when i tried bring ung pinakamalaking Avon lotion to see if kukunin dedma naman. Bs lang.
