First Rappler show that deserves to become a series... with Tito Boy who is very objective, same way with Prof Xiao.

[@bimbam9603]

Just subscribe to tito bhoy's channel, Yung way of questioning ni bagito ay very manipulative sakin at may gustong puntahan, masosoplak ka talaga pag matalino kausap mo kasi gets nya ang hawi mo.

[@jasperjornales2458]

Therefore history is never tsimis... but sometimes a tsismis could become historical once it can be verified by facts and evidences.

[@motivationaltv7071]

Binawasan mo namn. Wag bawasan ng " like". Kasi tsimis na pag may bawas.

[@praisesandquotations]

So when verified by facts and evidences becomes a history. Therefore its tsismis first before it became history.

He was punished due to the wrong things he did, not because of injustice. History helps us understand what we must avoid to repeat from past's mistake. I don't believe the "nagawang maganda,"whatever it is, was not included in the history. All projects signed by FEM will always be there. The nation's debt during his term went to his projects and his pocket at the same time. Nutribun and Australian aid which was supposed to be completely free was used by LGUs to be people's income from making roads or other works. People just doesn't want to accept they were victims of corruption and they do not know how to change that. After all, after FEM, people still voted Cory, Erap and FPJ for president although having no background or knowledge about politics. Even senatorial elections, people think popularity and color matters.

You cannot control how other people think and talk coz of a lot of factors. If one is educated MOST LIKELY ( see, I didn't type ALL) the person will listen to both sides but bear in mind other people have other viewpoints, too, albeit educated or not. Before I thought, communication is the very important key to understand each person but I realized every time, it is one's ability to listen that makes a difference. One can communicate he/she all he/she wants but if the other person won't listen to you, then every word has no meaning. 😉

Kya ms magandang bumalik sa mga Marcos nlng

[@ccarillo8757]

In 20 years ba namang umupo si FEM in power pag wala pa cyang nagawa ewan ko nalang. 20years vs 6 years sa mga sumunod na presidente. C'mon simple logic para magkumparahan ng mga ginawa. Bagsak ang ekonomiya natin as per record dahil sa laki ng foreign debts natin noon because of the graft and corruption cases of the Marcoses according to news and it is documented kaya nga may mga kaso sila hanggang ngaun dinidinig pa di ba? So I think kahit sing talino pa ni Rizal ang iluklok mo as President, aba e milagro kung mapaunlad nya kaagad ang Pilipinas! Kung may sumunod na presidente after Marcos na napaunlad kaagad ang Pilipinas then maybe isang cyang God! So don't ever compare what Marcos did when he was the president vs the other presidents after him. Konting common sense naman please.

She’s an adult and should be called out and questioned for her actions and intentions, just like everybody else.

We have to understand that tsismis brought life in the study of history for example Apolinario Mabini being accused with syphilis that made paralyzed. Andres Bonifacio being known for his knowledge in several languages like French and Spanish etc and in reality carrying a revolver most of the time unlike being projected in our history textbooks who uses bolo. Cory Aquino as a Dictator when she called for a Revolutionary Government for a year when we already had an existing Congress, Supreme Court and LGUs. However she decided to cancel them and appointed officials while preparing for changing the Constitution.

Palpak ang misyon ng America dahil unang una 2 ang war fronts ng USA noon. Priority nila ang Europe. Pangalawa ay pinadala si McArthur na Isang general na promote dahil sa family connections lang. itinago at nagsinungaling ang mga Amerikano sa firepower na kaya nilang iabot sa atin. Si McArthur underestimate Niya mga hapon, sinalaula ang 10 taong paghahanda laban sa hapon at nung andiyan na mga hapon... anak ng tokwa tumakbo sa Australia, iniwan ang buong fleet at ang kanyang second in command ang sumama sa ating mga kawal sa death March... 😢 Hindi ito sinaad sa ating mga textbooks.

What measure can one say, that the Historians really writes the facts? I believe whoever writes history cannot absolutely know all side of the story, especially if he does not consult one particular character in the story.

[@adlrvet5313]

Will this be a regular thing it’s nice to listen to

[@petercabrales9064]

I don't believe in tsismis, and try not to participate in it. I go for history as long as there is source cited, and there is corroboration with other historians who present primary sources. I use reference of sources for me to validate any historical claim. If you have no references, the narratives become doubted or politically and religiously motivated. History is the narration of truth which when sought independently will lead to Unity and Peace.

Good job Tito Boy Abunda. Very smart and intelligent conversation.

[@merliemarquez55]

Boy Abunda you are a guest, not a moderator but you talk to much! Give the moderator and the historian writer the equal chance to talk, sorry but I found Boy to be very talkative.

[@ecegary]

Finally I can say the most balanced content from Rappler. We can see the contradiction on both ends but delivered in a very intelligent and professional manner. Kung marami pa kayong mga ganito sana, mas exciting. Kudos to Rappler for this one! 👏👏

galing ni boy abunda magpaliwanag. nakakabilib.

So impressed of tito Boy.... Accepted such humble setting despite his status in life... 👏👏👏

[@Johnapacible6352]

In the first place he should not be guested in this discusdion. He foesnt know what hes tslking.

[@donbel1991]

Happy to open this discussions. Now I know they are trying to use trolls, media influencer and media propagandist to make the history like tsismis lang.

[@pinknest2001]

i used to like boy abunda but it looked like he was trying too hard -- killed interesting topics that started to encrouch on the marcos image he is clearly trying his best to polish

[@samsonescalarga301]

A very good conversation. It tickled my brain.

[@pinaytravelsinuk5852]

Very interesting! Lalo na yung portion na Tito Boy was asking Prof Hsaio on which is tsismis or not. Sana Tito Boy you’ll have a talk show like this!

I thinks it's kinda awkward lalo na sa host or facilitator. Boy Abunda keeps on interrupting and almost looks it's his own show. Agree naman na it is very educational ung portion nila na fact or tsismis. Just an opinion.
