MANILA, Philippines - Former senator Joker Arroyo succumbed late Monday to heart attack at a still undisclosed hospital abroad, according to highly reliable sources of The STAR. He was 88.
Arroyo represented the first district of Makati City for nine years in the 9th, 10th and 11th Congresses, from 1992 to 2001. He served as senator from 2001 to 2013.
He was known to be the most frugal member of Congress, earning him the moniker “Scrooge of Congress.” He had only three staff members: a driver, a secretary and a legislative assistant.
As a congressman and a senator, he had no bodyguards. He did not enjoy the trappings and perks of power.
“You have to know when to stop,” he told The STAR in an interview prior to the end of his term in 2013. He said he was not running for public position after his Senate stint.
Unknown to many, he was the only other senator who did not use his P200-million annual Priority Development Assistance Fund or pork barrel allocation, saving taxpayers P2.4 billion over his 12-year stint in the Senate.

Arrogance Explained

Senior actors and insiders in showbiz are often fond of the saying “Drowning in a glass of water,” when referring to the change in attitude of younger talents who achieved fame in a short time. When a celebrity is said to be in such a situation, he/she is throwing weight when it comes to projects and actors to work with.
Sadly, most of the starting talents who succumbed to the saying have lost their momentum and their fame as quickly as they obtained it. For example, when a young actor suddenly refuses to do a project for whatever reason, it indicates that he/she is not following the instructions of management, particularly, the terms of a contract. Disobeying the management is a risky undertaking, as such, action can disrupt the career of once famous talents. Such disobeying talents can either kiss their careers goodbye for the moment and wait until their contract has ended so they can move on.
In the past months, the industry has shown the rise of several young men into stardom. Fans suddenly increase and an actor becomes famous even though he has been in the business for some time. Thus, when Cute Actor (CA) finally made it to the big league, the management was surprised at his attitude. CA is throwing his weight and making others feel that he is an important talent of the network. This negative and boastful attitude of CA has thrown off some colleagues, as they could not believe the fact that CA has turned into such a person. The image he has oncam is that of a humble and fun-loving person, but the opposite behind the scenes is evident.
As his attitude can get on the nerves of his co-workers, he was warned by a top executive not to be so haughty, as he only had very few projects that are considered hits despite being with the station for several years. Thus, he has not really proved anything. It was only in the last couple of years that CA became a household name.
Given that CA is arrogant, some have speculated that he might be compensating for a flaw. Allegedly, the grapevine says that CA is indeed lacking in that department, and he is not that gifted despite the stance that he projects in his photos. Allegedly, someone who has been intimate with CA spilled the beans that indeed CA is inadequate when it comes to size. Thus, he uses his projection of arrogance to make up for his physical shortcoming.
‘Be careful not to mistake insecurity and inadequacy for humility! Humility has nothing to do with the insecure and inadequate! Just like arrogance has nothing to do with greatness!’― C. JoyBell C.

Racist Post Against Filipinos over Gilas’ Loss Sparks Outrage

Never add insult to injury.
Filipino netizens, still reeling from the controversial loss of Gilas Pilipinas to China in the Rio Olympic qualifying tournament, did not take a seemingly racist post of a Chinese Instagram user sitting down.
The IG user with the handle account yu.long has enraged many when he posted a remark that appears to discriminate against Filipinos, and at the same time belies allegation that the game officiating in the heartbreaking Gilas loss’ to the Chinese team, was not ‘sabotaged’, or as many have said, ‘cooked’ Chinese-style.
Yu.long’s comment appears to be in reply to one @engr.castronuevo. He wrote: “We can’t buy referees, but we can buy a million Filipinos to clean our toilet.”
A screenshot of yu.long’ IG post was uploaded on the Facebook page of media personality Cesar Apolinario. Apolinario, himself derided yu.long with the caption: “Posts like this one deserves 12 rounds of applause and a come from behind three point shot sa ilong ng batang to! (in his nose)” with the hashtags #Racist and #TellYourMomToTeachYouSomeManners.
Irate users flooded the post with comments full of spite, insult and sarcasm of varying degree directed against yu.long.
“A commentary coming from a retard will never make me feel less like a human…” one wrote.
Another, obviously offended, replied: “Your mouth is way dirty and stingy than a public toilet with no water…”
“Pocket full of cash, mouth full of trash. Talking non-sense,” yet another wrote.
But a few ‘cooler heads’ chose to be more forgiving, and urged everyone to just ignore the post.
“Everyone needs to chill. Have you guys read OUR tweets about them? I’m pretty sure we made racists remarks too,” a commenter said.
“Still many things that money can’t buy like respect for others and MANNERS. The whole world knows what you guys did on that particular day anyway. You guys are unbelievable,” added another.
The post has since been shared on Facebook more than 6k times and commented on more than 1.7K times. A check on Instagram turns out yu.long’s account has been made private.
