' Kusin Maka Lopot ', describes the condition when some Bisayan buy a new car, then the car seat or cushion wrapping is still there, normally plastic wrapping. I bet you had experienced to saw this weird and unreasonable strange behavior. Maybe for a week or two, the seat still tidy wrapped or still ' Maka Lopot'.

Can somebody explain why ? or it was normal stupidity.

I'm excited to see the day that I'll buying a new car to see whether I will put still the plastic wrapping or tear it out. I think there is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy and I will never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Hopefully it is not too late to congrats the president of PBBS (Persatuan Bisaya) for being promoted and chosen as a new cabinet members after somebody resign and did not interested on that post. ha. ha. As a deputy minister of federal transportation ministry, i hope the new man will boost up the cabinet performance rather than being static as a kitchen cabinet.

Then, another untold story was publicly revealed at the same time as mention by the mainstream media is the newly appointed transportation deputy minister is holding the recognition from overseas University for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) title. I'm proud to hear that because, it is not many Bisayan out there holding the MBA title. So once again, Congrats. I hope it was BAGUS, not BOGUS. But, how can the public did not know this man holding the MBA title ? . When he went to USA and study there ?. Hey !, how can this man got MBA without holding the BBA first ? This is the matter of we are the people are fool or we had been fooled. The Bisayan have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.


Nowadays we can see many of BISAYAN had a recognition in various fields such as Medical, Engineering, Law and Business study but don't forget, there still much more who still under the coconut shell. So it is the big responsibility for the Bisayan Leader. The elected leaders should think about the people's future rather than just think about his stomach and the organ several inches below. What was happened before, this top rank peoples prefer if the lower rank peoples keep quite, fools and naive, so their post will stable and guaranteed.

Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people. There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating; people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing. When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity.

Fate of people, destinies of nations and history itself are determined to a substantial extent by political leaders. When electing a leader, voters frequently base their decision on the image created by mass media and professional image makers; they also tend to take into account only current events and tasks. This, unfortunately, can result in bringing to power a politician who eventually damages the country's position or even causes national or international cataclysms.


Performance of political government can be measured by the increase of the quality of life in the respective region or (DUN) during the time of ruling. Some might say, “It’s not the matter either the cat is black or white, as long as it catch mice”. So they might say, “It’s not the matter either the leader is good or bad, as long as he give us money or opportunity”. Have you ever thinking of, if the good leader is ruling, how much better the opportunity you will get. I’m not telling you that Bisayan are fools but just not smart enough.


A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done. To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going. If you only offer the same old fashioned promises, nothing will change or it will even get worst. If you do what you always done, surely you will get what you always got. Think wisely, set the priority, smartly move your butt.


If you look at the scenario of Bisayan Leadership, in all kind of organization, specially in political hierarchy and the local organization such as Persatuan Bisaya. you will see the same pattern of the leadership, same old punks, same old thought. To be leader is not the stepping stone for the fame or glamour. It is also not just a 'Periuk Nasi'. It is beyond your old fashioned preconception Bisaya minded. Its about future and survival. what next . . . . . you'll make the move.

The 12th general election had passed few weeks before but the result will interfered and weaving the next five years pattern of the Bisayan socio life. Now is the time to get back what you had given. In the campaign period, lot of promises had been delivered so now is the time to get back the price of your ballot bullet pencil.

Somewhere, the tap water is free for 20 cubic meter but in here, we are suffered the water interruption. The electrical power supply also like a color light, (sometime on, sometime off). They promise peace but in 7 months period, two Bisayan murdered, tragically. Please don't bluff, you can fools some of the people some of the time, But you can never fools all the people all the time.

This is not the statement of anger but more on to softly advice and suggest. If something can be done by straight way, why choose the curly one. Hopefully the Bisayan should get rid of being a political beggar. Please earning for life on something else, maybe the quality of education will change this scenario.

Nowadays, if you see a Bisayan get rich and wealthy life, you can bet he is one of these two. First politician and second, the smuggler. Think outside the box, there are millions kind of things can make you rich and happy. Because of there are too many politician competing each others, so some will be glorious but some will loose. If you choose another successful way, nobody will loose. Actually we can achieve excellence in something else which are not listed in our book of mind as long as we try something new and discover the possibility. Things may come to those who wait...but only the things left by those who hustle.
