Railways and Industrial Heritage Society
Philippines Inc
(Australian Chapter)

It has been a hard 10 years in the making, but yesterday the Australian chapter of this new society became official.
Ever since I first went to the Philippines in 1999 I have wanted to do something to help preserve the important railway and other transport history of the Philippines.
On returning home I set up the 'Philippine Railways SIG' which has gradually grown to over 200 members and led to numerous websites and forums, it has also been a place where travellers and Filipino students regularly came for information.
Still it was not yet a museum, or a society that could benefit the Filipino population as a whole.
This began to change in 2007 when a group of us visited Caloocan workshops and decided it was time for something to be done, we even inspected the little railcar that has now become our first restoration project.
We later went on to find an expert in Philippine history from Pila Laguna called Jaime Tiongson. Jaime has enormous experience in the area of history and we were very lucky to gain him as our president there. He has been instrumental in our gaining acceptence in many government circles and also captured us our first television appearance.

Being stuck in Australia had me a little depressed, afterall, it was my pet project and something I had pretty much decided to devote my life to. I love the Philippines, despite being a born and bred Aussie, but moving there permanently is not really an option at the moment.
So a happy alternative had to be found and that was the 'Australian Chapter'.

So what does our group do for the parent group in the Philippines?
Glad you asked!!

We are the base for a group newsletter, we conduct fundraising and we are the membership office for the world, the only place we don't accept membership from is, obviously, the Philippines (since the group is already there).
Our board has years worth of experience in the railway industry, preservation and also the railfan hobby. This will all go towards offering technical assistance, research work and other support roles.

DOES IT ALL JUST BENEFIT RAILFANS?

No, indeed it dosen't.
Besides also covering industrial topics as well, the society here in Autralia will also help the Philippines by:
* Giving jobs to people when we outsource major work, thus helping families.
* Most restoration material will be sourced in the Philippines, thus giving companies money and helping people with jobs.
* With most money spent in the Philippines, we will also be doing a lot to help the economy!

So any membership money, or even just the occasional donation helps, not only the saving of great history, but also the country itself.
That is great for everyone!

If you can help us, perhaps with just a donation, no matter how small, please check out our

Thank you

~~ MERRY-GO-ROUND OF MISTRUTH ~~

** THE EXCITMENT CONTINUES **






As outlined during my jog yesterday, there has been more exciting rumours going around.


It has indeed been a good decision to advertise the site via other media and mailbox drop, as the decent members of society are coming out of the woodwork with all the latest tid bits of rumour and bollocks.




Remember - for the full truth and nothing but the truth (willing to use a polygraph) keep checking out this website. I don't have the internal desire tolie, or reasons to have to make things look better for my for fear of legal repercussions.


So you may be asking yourself


"AM I A FILIPINO MUSHROOM?"
"AM I BEING KEPT IN THE DARK AND FED BULLSHIT?"


Well yes it is indeed a valid couple of questions.


Don't get me wrong, some people in the community are happy to listen to the bollocks and allow themselves to be treated like fools by the spreader, without doing themselves the honour of getting the full story.


Of course you are welcome to look like a fool - it is a free country - we fought in two world wars so you are able to make the decision to hide from reality and embrace that which is ignorance.


Of course if you have any self respect, you may wish to know the truth behind the storylines.
Now if you have heard any of the following storylines (in green) you may welcome a BREATH OF FRESH AIR, aka THE TRUTH (in red).


I was the one assaulted by them!
Interesting- how does one do that while sitting in a chair, being approached by the actual attacker?


I was attacked by Brad and a couple of guys!
This is an interesting story, which has now changed numerous times. There was only two guys there, one was myself who was trying to push the attacker off, the other was your friend who assaulted me (see earlier shot of the bruise on my arm).
Actually, while I think of it, a male Filipino friend of the attacker, who I have finally identified through a local Filo shop, was about to punch me as well but thought better of it.
These other two guys seem to have a desire to have caused themselves much trouble over reasons they had no idea about.


Those who were attacked have been taken to court!
Really, we missed this. How did we do? Did we win?

~~ MERRY-GO-ROUND OF MISTRUTH ~~

** CORRESPONDENCE **

Well to say that this posting has attracted a lot of attention would be an understatement. The first 4 hours saw 163 hits, with another 54 in the 10 minutes following.

Even the correspondence has been coming in thick and fast, from people I have never met, friends and some very interesting parts of the Filipino community here who have asked for thier comments not to be published for fear of revenge.

If nothing else, it does give an interesting insight into the community and what it feels about itself and about the people who make it this way. Srangely enough, many of these are considered friends by many who have detracted from the community standard and don't realise the negative picture they paint of themselves.

How very sad - bordering pathetic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway lets look at some of the correspondence that didn't come with any conditions and see what people are actually thinking.

Piss the dipshits off.

I made you an offer ages ago you want something done.
SamoanBoy

Brad, Great combo there mate, getting certain issues off your chest, within the restrictions of legal considerations, and keeping us readers informed.
I hope those that aim their cruel barbs and gossip at you read this and wallow in their hypocrisy and shame.
Won't happen of course. But good luck with everything!
Mike

What a bunch a flamin ferals you have hung around. why do anything for the ungrateful bastards if thats the way they are.just hang foul lineside with us again and be damned with this sort of scum in your life.would have thought you had enough to worry about with all the things you do in the hobby.love the Sadam stuff its a cack
PP

Those true friends still love and care for you.
Those others failed the test of your friendship.
Danny

My Brother,
I just had a read of the malcontent currntly running through your vains of joy..
I just have one more thing to add to all this.... Where's my bl**job you man b**ch.... I see that they haven't mentioned that rumor, or the one where you attack young defensless kittens with air rifles, or you drink three bottles of Johnny Walker Blue lable and dilliberatly throw it all back up in ya best friends car.
I wouldn't worry too much about all that c**p, the best thing too remember is that your true friends, the ones that will lay down their own farts for your protection, know exactly what sort of person your really are, a dead set utter yobbo, alco, scardy cat that has sex at eastgardens, but I'm afraid I can make the date for next week as I'm stuck at work. N seriously, just tell those trouble making wankers to go f*** a bull or something.
Take care my brother and, get pissed well.
Bong.

I prefer not to tell anyone Im Filipina.

Thanks to all and sundry for your thoughts. It was a bother at first, but every dog has its day as they say and that day is coming soon. Hate and spite is a past-time for many, but I would choose you people over that anyday.

Take care of each other.

The South Sydney Filipino Community (or part of it anyway)

~~ MERRY-GO-ROUND OF MISTRUTH ~~


Firstly I would like to thank everyone who helped me win the '2009-Most Lied About Aussie In The Filipino Community Award'.

It would be wrong of me to take all the credit myself, there were so many people who have lied about me over the years and they alone have made this awesome achievement possible.

While some of the the Mt Druitt/Werrington area Filos certainly made a terrific attempt to get me this prestigious award, it was a number in Eastlakes who finally got me over the line.

Sadly there are many out there who didn't help at all. They blatantly remained great friends, constantly caring about me, defending me and making my life feel so worthwhile.
Together they nearly lost me this award and to them I say THANKS.
Thanks for your friendship and making my time posting this, although representing years of pain and hurt, an enjoyable experience.

This posting does, after all, represent my side of everything, in a community where I have little chance of spreading as much gossip as those who wish to do so about me.


Everything said here I am happy to say on a polygraph, or indeed any truth telling, test. Indeed I desperately want to do so.

Sadly, due to the immense jealousy (and for legal publishing reasons) it would bring if I was to overlook anyone who has made a huge attempt to discredit me and lie over all these years and thus won me this award, I am leaving names out. However rest assured, I do appreciate every single person who has told other members of the community crap about me, without your efforts to make me look like a mongrel after years of helping, I could never have reached where I am today.

I love you all - well the honest ones anyway.
Now ladies, gentleman and anything in between we come to the part you have all been waiting for.


THE LIES

Lets look through all those wonderful memories, those lies over the last decade that have brought me to the realisation of this truly appreciated award.Not to mention how appreciated my efforts to help people has been.

So many happy times, like the first time I was called a 'Hippopotamus' and my old favourite, that first time I was accused of having an affair with a friend. This second one has become quite a regular over the years, strangely enough often (but possibly not always) being spread by people who have had previous experience of such things, either by them or their partner.

Anyway - without further delay, thanks to the following for helping win this award.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WATCH OUT FOR BRAD-WE THINK HE MAY BE HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH xxxxxxxxx.

Ahhhhh yes, so regular now that it becomes boring.
I do love and care about my Pinay friends, but I am not IN LOVE with them. I am married, love my wife and, unlike my freeking father, do not intend to have any sort of affair.

Yes my best friends are girls, big frigging deal. Grow up and understand that this does not instantly mean I am sleeping around.
Their husbands don't believe I am, so why should you woman who have nothing better to do? Insecurities over your own partners perhaps?

BRAD HAD SEX WITH xxxxxxxxxx IN THE TOILETS AT EAST LEAGUES FEMALE TOILETS.
-
Thankfully I had witnesses that night, not to mention the fact a security guard guards the door to these toilets making entry for males very hard.
The liars had a win this night, I haven't been back to that club since this event - which was coincidently brought up while I was away and unable to defend myself.

xxxxxxxxx IS AFTER BRAD FOR HAVING SEX WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND IN THE TOILET.

This disappeared soon after I decided to go to immigration. Strange that.
-
BRAD IS AN ALCOHOLIC!
-
Yes one or two rums a day with dinner is seriously out of control.
QUICK- CALL AA NOW! :-)
OH THE HUMMMMMMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRAD PUNCHED A WOMAN IN THE HEAD AND BRAD ASSAULTED A WOMAN!

Both versions of this one have been used for the same incident and by the same person. Also utilized was "Brad punched me in the shoulder". All are used together for clarity and the 'WTF' factor.
An interesting accusation, brought up after someone was informed they were in trouble for doing the same to a pregnant friend.
This lie is particularly interesting, because the details of what happened, as well as details as to prior knowledge keeps changing depending on who is the latest person to have been told.
I never have and never would assault a woman - those who know me already see this lie as laughable, a lie which is the biggest defamation of character I have yet had to endure from the Filipino community in Sydney.

BRAD IS A CENTERLINK BLUDGER!

Seems people will say anything to try to insult someone. Truth is, confirmable through Centerlink, that I have not been on the dole since around the late 80s when I was between jobs.
Seems this accusation has been leveled at a few people by the same group of people, "interesting" that Centerlink freud always happens to pop to their mind.

BRAD AND xxxxxxx OWES US MONEY

Interesting, do the words clock, cupboard, lounge, bed, fridge mean anything?
-
YOUR A BLUDGER - I HAVE A GOOD JOB!
-
I am on $42.50 and hour. How much do you get?
-
THE WAY I SEE BRAD AND FRIENDS IS LIKE A PACK OF ANIMALS!

Interesting, we help seperate a friend from a savage assault and we are animals.
Certainly rather be an animal than a supposed friend who would stand by and watch without lending a hand to stop it proceeding further.

BRAD IS DESPERATE TO YOUNG GIRLS .
-
Here is another particular favourite. I am a 40 year old who is into young girls.
Aren't I quite the moral defective?
Aren't I quite the pervert?
Really got to stop this dirty and disgusting habit of being nice to people.
No reports of inappropriate behaviour, sexually or otherwise, from other woman, young or otherwise. Can everyone else say the same?

BRAD DOSEN'T KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS!
-
Yeah, thats a tough one. Is it Sunday?

BRAD SPREADS GOSSIP LIKE A WOMAN!

Alls fair in love and war.
Do unto others what they do unto you.
You only reap what you sow.
Lots of this sort of stuff can be found in the bible, for all those who have cast aside nightclubs and refound the church in the last 6 months.
-
HEY ON THE SUBJECT OF NIGHTCLUBS - I HEARD A DISGUSTING RUMOUR THAT ELDERLY AND PREGNANT WOMAN ATTEND CLUBS. SHOULD THEY NOT BE BANNED? SIGN OUR PARTITION TODAY!!!!
-
BRAD BLUDGES OFF ALL HIS FRIENDS!

As opposed to bludging off his, say, NEPHEW to pay bills, which is far more socially acceptable.
Yes I could imagine my huge list of friends would stick around for a long time with me bludging off them. This accusation comes from areas that have given my nothing but grief, perhaps ask those people who care about me and me the same in return, you may get a different opinion.
These are the people I would do anything for.

BRAD IS JUST A LIAR!

I am willing to sit down to a polygraph test on everything I have written here.
Is anyone else wishing to join me?

BRAD IS A GIRL - HE RUNS TO THE POLICE!

I have friends and family to think about, death does not discriminate against sex or race, so death threats are taken seriously.
Show me someone who dosen't.


BRAD CALLED SOMEONE A WHORE ON THIS WEBSITE!
Besides immediately above, did anyone else see the use of this dirty language on here?


The police were given the website address and the provider can confirm no changes were made around this time, so I am open to anyone who is able to point it out.
Unfortunatley I did not call anyone this name on this site, I have respect for these people and what they choose to do, usually due to no other choice. I would not disrespect these woman by utilising their choice of job to describe any of the people who spread lies about me.

BRAD CALLED EVERYONE IN EASTLAKES 'ASWANG'.

Nope didn't do that either. People may wish to examine their Tagalog dictionaries to see what the word barkada means. It stands for group, as opposed to a suburb or province.
Indeed there does seem to be extensive confusion when it comes to Filipino terms, I am not sure what they were doing while at school.


Thanks (salamat) to everyone who has taken the time to read this.


Please note that no names have been mentioned, however those who yell the loudest about this, admitedly contraversial, posting will no doubt be the most guilty.

This post isn't aimed at any single person, these events have taken place over a decade of community involvement, involving ohh so many people who seem to be dead against my being a part of the Filipino community.

THEY MAY SPREAD LIES ABOUT ME.

THEY MAY THREATEN ME.

THEY MAY TRY TO DESTROY MY MARRIAGE.

THEY MAY MAKE DEATH THREATS.

THEY MAY SPREAD HATRED.

THEY MAY PROMOTE DISTRUST.

BUT HELL THEY MUST BE PISSED OFF I AM STILL A PART OF, AND HELPING, THE FILIPINO COMMUNITY HERE AND PROJECTS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

I love the Philippines and Filipinos!

Always have - Always will!

Get used to it or piss off and let me live my life how I want,
with whom I want and without having to share
the xistence of miserable people.

How it used to be before rumours and gossip made a couple
of these people disappear.
One constant in this community is how people can ignorantly believe one persons story without doing them themselves the benefit of
finding out the two sides.
How can anyone do themselves such an injustice?

~~ DINNER BY A RUNWAY ~~

G'day all my beloved readers. Been a big night and your fave reporter of bollocks is sitting here a tad sozzled and thaning the good lord for spell check at the end of this report.

Well it has been a big week following the assault at Mato RSL.
The lies being spread about what happened has had us laughing so hard that, beside risking a unexpected follow through, tired us out with the strain of the hilarity.

I suppose the thing that brings on the most bowel trembling hilarity is how the lies continually change. The art of a good bullshitting is to keep the story the same all the time.

One also should lie believeably, I mean, "A PUNCH IN THE FACE" yet no blood, no marks, indeed not even mentioned until being told the assailant was in big trouble.
Yeah right. Try standup!

Anyway after all the stress of such joviality - it was thought opportune to head on down to the airport for dinner while watching some planes, just like the good old days before air wasters entered my life.

Its a shame they lock the gate around 7pm as there was still lots of plane gunzels (PUNZELS?) and families still there watching the parade of jets. There was nothing truly amazing, just the normal, but who can fail to be impressed at the sight of a 747 (arguable still the worlds best looking aircraft - despite the arrival of the A380) landing.

Bit disappointing that none were seen taking off, as were any A380 monsters.

I took a few shots, but alas it was late in the day and I had no tripod, so they certainly are far from ranking in my highest of quality. Actually bloody far.

Heck I was going to rant on about my sledom shown interest in planes, but I am tired (and more than a little tipsey following tonights celebrations - Celebrating one week since the real nature of people was revealed) and think I will hit the hay like a hungry horse.

And like Fox Mulder always said "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE"!
Actually he may not have said that, it may just have been the shows subtitle. Anyway, the truth will out, indeed it already has.

Email me for the true version of events last week, once you are fed up with the bollocks. I would happily sit a polygraph test to confirm it and MAY STILL DO SO!

Tally Ho
Brad (A bit pissed and a lot pissed off)


VH-OGV landing above a Singapore Airlines jet this evening at Sydney Airport.
The bed of water is known as Botany Bay and is often freqented by another of societies vermin, sharks. Sharks at least don't lie, they just bite your leg off.


Same aircraft again.
My good mate and brother Daven Walters (a plane and railfan currently living as close to the middle of nowhere as you can get in Borroloola, Northern Territory) tells me this was originally in the 'Australian' fleet, an earlier attempt by Qantas to launch a budget international carrier.
It was late in the day so quality is the dogs bollocks, while my current state of inebriation revents any serious Photoshop work.


A plane throttles back (slows down?) after touchdown at Sydney Airport.

Heading in to land on the bay runway.
These smaller craft aren't as impressive as the ol 747, but who bleedin well knows in these arty farty type shots hey.

Thanks to Daven Walters for some of the information and his moral support during lifes current bollocks. LOVE YA BRO!

Cheers
Brad

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

Winston Churchill





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~~ COMING SOON ~~
**
Despite some of the barkada recieving injuries through a rather violent attack the night before, all were determined not to be held back and headed on our to Maroubra Beach to celebrate Brock's big birthday party.

The weather was great, the company fantastic, the food awesome and the seagulls very photogenic.
Join us in coming days for a photographic look at the days activities.

**
Recently found is all the photos from our island hopping journey from Panay to Luzon via Jintatolo and Masbate back in 2007.
We will have a looksie through a number of shots from this very beautiful part of the world.

**
One of my many interests is in planes, mostly of the large commercial aviation type. The recent departure from Australia of Qantas's last 'Classic 747' had me interested to look back at what has become of the the first two Qantas jets I rode to the Philippines on.
For a change of pace, I shall share my findings with readers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, if like us you are looking for ways to help out the poor people in Victoria who have suffered so badly with the fires, and those who may still do so, this new album may be of great interest to all.


A selection of local and overseas artists have come together to allow this album to be produced, the proceeds of which will help our fellow Aussies suffering down south.
Despite recent accusations (lies yet again) that I don't have and would never donate money to a charity, I have given to this numerous times, as have a number of our barkada. Never believe any story without getting both sides.

Cheers
Brad (The Centerlink bludging, woman bashing, desparado for young girls - or so they tell me)

~~ THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN ~~

ALL FERLIE PHOTOS REMOVED
BUT AVAILABLE


I have been overwhelmed by the amount of support coming in for keeping this site. Many friends, past and present are apparently enjoying keeping up with the barkada, as our our family and friend in the Philippines.

This sort of support is what really helps to make the effort all worth it. Especially with work getting busier for the year and time becoming more limited as our Philippine museum charity work ramps up.


Regardless of which email I looked at , the usual sentiment was not to allow the bad few ruin it for everyone, not ruin the website and not ruin your friendships with those Filipinos who do care and form the most wonderful and kind hearted people you could ever meet.



Despite a severe physical assault on a number of our group over the weekend I am going to push on with the site and not let people down.
I am also going to try harder to concentrate on those wonderful Filipino friends and family that I have, not allowing outside influences to interfere with this.



While the website is continuing, I am planning a whole new, and more positive, change in direction to our content. Our group has always been known for its fun, its compasion and its caring for each other.
The attacks against us only help us to become stronger, care for each other more and strengthen our resolve to do whats right.


While I have noticed a huge increase in visitor numbers during the recent sad events aimed at us, I am hopeful that numbers will not drop to much with the more positive aim of this blog.

If excessively bad things continue to happen I shall consider reporting them for the safety of myself and my beloved barkada friends, however hopefully this is not something that will be required shortly.


A few readers have said they want to add comments or photos but are unsure of how to do it. The easy way is to email me on the GSpot Barkada email address with whatever you wish to contribute and mention that it is for the website.

Feel free to tell us about your trips, show photos of your family in the Philippines, share jokes (particularly love funny Philippine photos and jokes), tell us about any charity you are helping with in the Philippines, or just about anything else you feel may be of interest.


The Philippines and Filipinos are great people - lets all celebrate both.


Please enjoy the new website.


Regards
A Somewhat Bruised Brad :-P
