Sino dito inis kay KOKO Pimentel?
Dear Senator Pimentel, The fact that you have symptoms and had your "VIP Pass" for the Covid-19 testing, you could have just stayed HOME as repeatedly requested by our Frontliners and our Government!!!! We know you are an excited father but that doesn't exempt you from taking precautionary measures! Covid is Covid!!! We know how quickly it spreads!!! You just exposed a lot of people in danger, including your own wife! Staying HOME is the easiest/simplest way to help the Philippines! You don't deserve your seat!!! Praying for all the people that may have been in contact with the Senator 🙏 Im the one na galit na galit sa kanya, What a shame!!
Nakaklungkot na Balita!
Sa sitwasyong katulad nito nakakalungkot talaga na makita na imbis magkaisa, at magtulungan at mag cooperate sa government para malagpasan natin ang Corona virus na ito, pero meron talaga tayung kababayan na inuuna pa ang sariling interest. Tak tsk tsk ganun na ba talaga ka impoortante ang kapangyarihan sa government na pilit pinag aagawan? Siraan dito siraan doon, si President Duterte ginagawa ang lahat para sa bayan pero itong mga Dilawan nato busy sa kasiraan ni Duterte. Kalat po ito ngayun sa facebook.

How Much More Can The Philippine Economy Endure From Rodrigo Duterte?
...the Duterte era has waged a war against drugs that went beyond just targeting the dealers and users. He’s made threats against anyone who gets in his way from human-rights activists to corrupt cops to “rich people.” But little did supporters suspect that the real thing Duterte would end up shooting is the economy. Granted, Duterte dreams of inflicting harm by other means, too. He talks of dropping corrupt officials from helicopters and a desire to get rid of “useless bishops.” Yet this rhetoric distracts from the real costs that three and half years of Duterte is doing to what was one of Asia’s most impressive economies when he took power. The 5.9% growth the Philippines clocked in 2019 helps Duterte deflect from his own economic...
