UPDATED: So how do we deter North Korea from doing a rocket launch? Maybe Kris and Carlo J. Caparas can come to our rescue.

Kim Jong Un (who is probably "Noynoying" in this pic) seems really excited to launch a satellite into space next week. The launch is said to be scheduled between April 12 - 16 with rocket debris from it's first and second stages expected to fall off the coasts of South Korea and the Philippines, respectively. This plan to launch a satellite into space is widely viewed with suspicion given that North Korea is a secretive and unpredictable nuclear-armed nation that is at odds with its East Asian neighbors (South Korea and Japan) and the US, among others.

While Japan and South Korea are determined to shoot down the missile in case it enters their airspace, the Philippines unfortunately doesn't have the same capability to do so. We have so far gone the diplomatic route to protest NoKor's planned test. I'm not too hopeful that this will convince Kim Jong Un, duh. So, I've decided to offer my unsolicited advice as to how to strongly convince NoKor's Supreme Commander from pushing through with their rocket launch.

The Kim family LOVES! their propaganda. They portray themselves as demigods sent from up above and gifted with supernatural abilities to rule over their people. They encourage the making of movies, plays, songs, posters, etc to promote themselves and their ideology and force their starving population to watch/listen to/read these 24/7. I think President Noynoy Aquino should seriously consider sending our very own National Artist, Carlo J. Caparas, to be our envoy to NoKor and convince Kim Jong Un that it's more fun to direct films and create comics instead of doing nuclear tests. If Caparas can create propaganda before for former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, why not do it for NoKor's Supreme Commander and save the Philippines? Presidential sister, Kris Aquino, who at one time became Caparas' muse ("The Queen of Massacre Films"), could very well vouch for him. 

I humbly submit this proposal to the PNoy administration in the hope that this will at least encourage North Korea to divert the direction of its planned rocket launch and avoid the Philippines. I still think there's enough time to send Kris Aquino, Carlo J. Caparas and even Boy Abunda to sell this idea to the Supreme Commander. *fingers crossed*
