Fact Check Abias CBN
Why is main stream media acting this way? (It is *******t with possibilities) In the case of ABS-CBN: 1. Is it because BenPress Holdings (the holding company of the Lopez Group of Companies, the network being a company under its wing) indebted with billions with the government (unpaid loans at DBP) and they are being run after? 2. Is it because Hacienda Luisita whose land is being distributed, owes Benpress millions in loan/investment and therefore cannot be ρáíd anymore or recoup their investment? 3. Is it because some of the monies of the network are investments from American moguls (with alleged ties with the the CIA) who are affected by the independent foreign policy of the present administration? 4. Is it something to do with...

The Filipino is worth dying for
Good evening mga ka PHC! Heto ulit ako magtatanong 😅 “The Filipino is worth dying for” Yan yung famous line na sinabi ni Benigno Aquino. Since topic namin siya history, gusto ko lang sana yung ibang saloobin niyo about sa saying na yan at bakit niya nasabi? Dagdag kaaalaman lang. Ang tanging Idea ko lang kasi is yan yung era ni marcos kung saan maraming namamatay dahil sa batas na martial law & kaya mas worth mamatay noon.
Why Filipinos sell their votes, and for how much
It is îllégâl to buy and sell votes. However, this has been the practice for many Filipinos. For two decades now, politicians have been hiring Juan, not his real name, as a pook (local) leader tasked to buy votes during elections. He said there are different ways to buy votes, including what he calls "gapangan." Juan said on the eve of election day, pook leaders would visit a stronghold of his client's opponent. Pook leaders would pay residents about ₱1,000 each to boycott the polls. "Kakausapin namin kung ilan ang botante sa pamilya nila. Ilan kayong botante dito? 'Wag nalang kayo bumoto, babayaran na lang namin kayo. Kasi alam namin ang iboboto nila, kalaban namin," Juan told CNN Philippines. He said someone from their group...

ICC WITHDRAWAL
ICC WITHDRAWAL The President is once again under scrutiny of his detractors for his decision to withdraw the Philippines from the Rome Statute by claiming that he has no legal basis to do so. They are again mistaken. FIRST, they claim that publication is not necessary in order for the Rome Statute to be effective and enforceable in Philippines since Article 126 thereof does not require prior publication before it can be effective in the jurisdiction of the ratifying State. This claim is erroneous. Treaties, such as the Rome Statute, become part of the law of the land through transformation pursuant to Article VII, Section 21 of the 1987 Constitution which provides that “no treaty or international agreement shall be valid and...

Permafrost Is Warming Around the Globe, Study Shows.
Rapid changes in the long-frozen soil are raising concerns about a surge of planet-warming greenhouse gases as the permafrost thaws. Vast areas of permafrost around the world warmed significantly over the past decade, intensifying concerns about accelerated releases of heat-trapping methane and carbon dioxide as microbes decompose the thawing organic soils. The warming trend is documented in a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature Communications. Detailed data from a global network of permafrost test sites show that, on average, permafrost regions around the world—in the Arctic, Antarctic and the high mountains—warmed by a half degree Fahrenheit between 2007 and 2016. The most dramatic warming was found in the Siberian...

Duterte Drug War
Sobrang Laki ng pasasalamat ko at ng aking pamilya sa wakas magkakaroon na ng pag asa ang aking Kapatid at Tiyuhin para mag bago sa loob ng kulungan. Nahuli sila sa Drug Raid sa bahay mismo ng Tito ko. Matagal na sila sinasabihan ni mama na tumigil na pero ayaw nila talaga , wala kming magagawa. Nadakip sila ng mahinahun kasi di sila lumaban at sumuko sila ng maayos. Opinion ko lang sa mga namamatay sa Drug Raid, Syempre sa tingin mo ano gagawin ng mga Kapulisan o Pdea kung tangkang babarilin sila ng mga Suspek? Magpapabarip nalang ba sila? Meron ding High Value Target na kahit mayor namin at mga brgy official ay inis at galit sa kanya. Sinusumbong naman sya namin sa mga police pero madulas talaga at di mahuli huli. Sa tuwing Raid ay...

At least 8 rights guaranteed by the Philippine Constitution have been violated by the enforcement of government policies in its intensified anti-drug campaign, showed a study by the Ateneo Human Rights Center (AHRC) released Friday.

IHS Markit: Philippines to be a trillion-dollar economy by 2032
MANILA, Philippines – Amid expectations of sustained, long-term “dynamic” growth, the Philippine economy is poised to double by 2026 en route to a gross domestic product (GDP) worth $1 trillion by 2032, research firm IHS Markit said. In a report titled “Philippines Tiger Economy Still Set for Dynamic Growth,” IHS Markit Asia-Pacific chief economist Rajiv Biswas also said that three years from now, the country will reach the upper middle-income status as robust economic growth trickles down to household incomes. “With the Philippines having clocked up a record trade deficit of $41.4 billion in 2018, a key priority will be to make the Philippines more competitive as an investment hub for multinationals, in order to boost exports of...
The LG smartphone factory moves from South Korea to Vietnam.
We close the Pyeongtaek plant, the largest smartphone production base. Most of the facilities will be moved to Vietnam. More than 700 production workers will be moved to the H & A business headquarters, which is responsible for home appliances business, from 26th, or will be retired. LG Electronics is the first company to choose exodus after closing domestic production lines due to productivity problems such as minimum wage increase among domestic smartphone companies. LG is a competitor of Samsung. LG is a company that has recently lost earnings due to low smartphone quality and marketing failure. The company's factory goes to Vietnam with low labor costs and free law. But keep in mind. Almost all companies in South Korea do not...
LRT-1 Cavite extension construction set in May
The construction of the extension of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) is set to start in May, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said. “We’ll have an event on May 6 to start the actual works of LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension Project. We will send an advisory soon,” DOTr Assistant Secretary for Communications Goddes Hope Libiran said in a text message to the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Wednesday. The 11.7-km. railway extension project will have eight stations from Baclaran in Parañaque City to Bacoor in the province of Cavite, reducing travel time to 30 minutes from the current one-and-a-half hours during rush hours.

How important are human rights?
How important are human rights? Well, before the Holocaust happened, Hitler first just deprived the Jews of their human rights. Then he took their jobs and properties, how can the Jews protest since they didn't have human rights? Then he forced the Jew to be marked with the Star of David, the Jews cannot protest since they didn't have human rights. Hitler then gathered all the Jews in ghettoes, crowding all of them in a small area with crowded small dwellings, how can the Jews protest since they didn't have human rights. These were not enough for Hitler, he transported all of them in labor camps and they worked as slaves, but how can the Jews protest since they didn't have human rights? Finally, Hitler placed them all in gas...

Inflation eases to 3.8% in 1st quarter of 2019.
Lalo pang bumaba sa 3.8 percent ang inflation sa 1st quarter ngayong taon, mula sa 5.9 percent noong December 2018, ayon kay Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Gov. Diokno. Pasok na ito sa target ng gobyerno na 2 hanggang 4 percent. With a 3.8 percent average inflation rate as of end-March, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) move to keep key overnight rate steady remains appropriate, according to BSP Governor Benjamin E. Diokno. “Our prevailing monetary policy stance remains appropriate, given the confluence of easing inflation and firm growth dynamics. The BSP continues to gauge the impact of its monetary policy responses on domestic economic conditions to ensure that inflation remains on track toward the government’s target of two-four...

How the TRAIN law worsened poverty, inequality
Despite the importance of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law, we don’t hear much about it from the administration’s senatorial bets. If you recall, back in December 2017, lawmakers touted TRAIN as the Duterte government’s “best Christmas and New Year’s gift” for the Filipino people, a milestone in the country’s tax reform history. But aside from the public backlash that TRAIN met last year – when inflation shot up to record highs – two studies by researchers at the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) show that TRAIN worsened the plight of millions of Filipinos. Specifically, using numerical simulations, the studies demonstrate that TRAIN likely worsened poverty and income inequality in the...

DPWH: New P1.6-B bridge from Pasig to BGC will ‘do wonders’ for traffic
Those who constantly travel to and from the Ortigas Business District in Pasig and Bonifacio Global City might soon spend a lot less time stuck in traffic. The Department of Public Works and Highways(DPWH) says that the government’s BGC-Ortigas Center Link Road Project will “do wonders to help decongest traffic in Metro Manila.” The structure is pegged to cost P1.6 billion to build, and will span a total of 961 meters. The four-lane bridge is expected to serve as a major alternate route for motorists traveling from Pasig (via Kapitolyo) to Taguig and vice versa. According to DPWH Undersecretary for Technical Services Emil K. Sadain, construction is ongoing even during the Holy Week break. “During this Holy Week, our construction...
