OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF SECRETARY MARIA BELEN S. ACOSTA This is to inform the public that the quo warranto case that was initially dismissed is now reversed. The regional trial court has granted the Motion for Reconsideration and ordered the other party to respond in 15 days. This is the curious case of Mindanao Development Authority having two appointed Secretaries for one and the same position. The post is not vacant, not co-terminus, neither a position of trust as its mandate is clearly defined in RA 9996, and presently occupied. Yet, another person was appointed with no prior formal notification from Malacañang. Due process was not followed, and no clear “cause” was established. The undersigned stands by the letter and intent of...
Go Tulfo,Ubosin Mo Lahat Ng Insik
Naghain ng resolusyon si Sen. Raffy Tulfo na naglalayong imbestigahan ang aniya'y nakaaalarmang pagdagsa ng Chinese nationals sa Multinational Village sa Parañaque City. Sa kaniyang Senate Resolution No. 1043, binanggit ni Tulfo ang reklamo ng mga residenteng may-ari ng Multinational Village sa nasabing pagdagsa ng mga Chinese sa kanilang komunidad noong 2019. Ito umano ang taon kung kailan nagsimula umanong lumipat ang mga Chinese na sinasabing nagtatrabaho sa Philippine Overseas Gaming Operators #POGO. "Kamakailan ay sunod-sunod ang mga natatanggap ko na reklamo mula sa mga homeowner ng Multinational Village sa Parañaque City tungkol sa pagsakop na ng mga Chinese national sa kanilang lugar. Nagmistulang Chinese territory na raw ang...
Just So You Know.
Sa isyu ng pagsama-sama ng pondo ng bayan nuong COVID-19, sa mga mambabatas na gustong tirisin ang liderato nuon, paki-kuha ninyo ang kopya ng RA 11469 o Bayanihan to Heal as One (24 March 2020) at RA11494 (11 September 2020) o Bayanihan to Recover as One. Ang RA11469 ay deklarasyon ng pagkakaroon ng national emergency. Pakitingnan ang Sec. 4 sa authorized powers na binigay ng Kongreso sa pangulo. Ang RA 11494 ay klarado sa Sec 10 sa Appropriation and Stanby Fund, Sec 11 sa Sources of Fund, Sec 13 Report to Congress, Sec 14 Reportorial Requirement and Creation of an Oversignt Committee. Huwag nyong ibahin ang kasaysayan. Ang Kongreso ang nagbigay ng kapangyarihan sa pangulo nuon para tumugon sa COVID. Ang ibang Mainstream Media iba...
Lower Tariff = Lower Price of Rice?
Naniwala naman kayo na babagsak ang presyo ng bigas dahil binabaan ang taripa to 15%? Last December na extend na yan ni BBM yung binabaan ni PRRD na from 40%-50% under the RTL to 35% noong 2021. Bumaba ba ang presyo? Diba hindi? Mas lalong tumaas pa nga under BBM, diba? RTL + Cartel May problema ang RTL pero hindi ito totally na masamang batas. Patunay diyan eh hindi ito pinapasawalang bisa ni BBM at ng congress. Bagkus ito ay pinapabago o amend lang. Kaya huwag niyong sisihin si PRRD diyan dahil sa IRR ng batas yan nagka problema matapos ito ay napirmahan. Ang problemang malala sa RTL ay ang paglagay ng classification ng bigas. Syempre yung mga importer ay hindi nila dinideklara ng tama yung mga bigas nila. Idini-declare nila...
Shout Out To Rappler.
EPOCH TIMES ARREST ‘SOLVES MAJOR MYSTERY’ A stunning arrest at the anti-China media outlet Epoch Times is set to solve one of the biggest mysteries in media. . How did an amateur freesheet launched in 2000 by members of a modern religious cult become a rich, powerful international media group, published in at least 36 countries? . By 2019, it was so powerful that it worked with US government groups, including Washington DC’s notorious “Radio Free Asia” and “Open Technology Fund”, exposed as being involved in financing and aiding the violent unrest in Hong Kong in 2019. . . . . MONEY LAUNDERING This week, Bill Guan, 61, chief financial officer of the Epoch Times, was arrested on charges of money laundering by federal prosecutors in the...
Drama In The High Seas A.k.a Batang Quiapo.
DRAMA in the high seas with a script that was written as the story went along. This new controversy surrounding the May 19 resupply mission to Ayungin Shoal by the Philippine Navy shows the embarrassing ineptitude of Marcos Jr.’s administration in handling our dispute with China in the SCS especially in their subsequent media presentations after each ‘mission.’ But what if it was a case of a bad PR plan that went worse leading to a desperate act of public image redemption. Two articles in one media outfit alone, in this case Inquirer.net is very confusing to me it made me think something is really off-tangent. The incident as reported by the AFP claimed that the Chinese Coast Guard “seized” provisions meant for our troops...
Truth To Be Told
I find it difficult to understand why the sinophobic mob, and that includes the President, can't understand that the UN Convention on THE LAW OF THE SEA, is. as its name emphasizes, deals with rights over maritime areas (EEZ, territorial sea etc.) and NOT WITH nations' sovereignty. Such conflicting sovereign claims can be solved only through negotiations and the agreement of TWO countries to let a third body decide on it. Aquino III however conflated the issue, not for the truth but for propaganda that is easily believed by the gullible.
To Blingblong Narcos
“WE DO NOT WANT TO BE DICTATED BY ANY FOREIGN FORCE, AND WHILE WE ARE FRIENDLY WITH THE UNITED STATES, EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA, THEY SHOULD NOT PRECLUDE US FROM BEING FRIENDLY WITH ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT NEIGHBORS, CHINA. IF THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CHINA, THEY SHOULD NOT INCLUDE US.” Sana ganito ang leaders natin. Alam paano protektahan ang tao nila. Marunong ng independent foreign policy. He has the same policy as PRRD, except he’s nice about it lol. And yes Malaysia also has territorial dispute with China over the Spratly Islands. Di alam ng mga Talyanista kasi na it’s not the Philippines vs China, its many countries vs each other in this territorial dispute, with Vietnam occupying the most number of islands and Taiwan occupying...
Anu Kaya Magagawa Ng Fun Run?!
What in ****ing God’s name are these damn deckheads doing?!! Hahaha. Galing talaga ng Pinoy at pati ang South China Sea issue ginawang negosyo ng mga gagi Mga pards, kagaya ng Atin Ito coaltion ang mga organizers dyan ang kikita ng tiba tiba. Pramis. Kasi if it’s for a worthy cause tapos tatakbo lang naman bakit kailangan mo pang magbayad ng libo libong piso? Dapat voluntary kung kaya mo mag donate. Dapat free kung di mo afford pero gusto mong sumali. Tapos may Super Early Bird at Early Bird discounts pa ang mga putik Haha. Walang hiya.

How The Rich Got Richer
The law is good but do we really think these institutions will follow it to the letter? Maybe they will but I’m sure they will find a way to screw us up somewhere. The best example is GCash. I just noticed they have a ₱2 convenience fee when I buy load from the app to my prepaid Globe number. GCash and Globe are both owned by the Ayalas so why in the ****ing world should we be charged a convenience fee when it is their duty to provide their customers utmost convenience by seamlessly integrating all their services that includes buying load, bills payment et cetera across all the companies they own — at no possible cost. That’s called customer convenience. It’s called looking after your customer needs and providing them with...
Zelensky The Actor
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged a group of top defense officials at Asia's premier security conference on Sunday to attend an upcoming peace summit, saying Ukraine was ready to hear "various proposals and thoughts" on ending the war with Russia.

. In less than two months between mid April and end of May alone this year American tech giants announced billions and billions of US Dollars of investments in the ASEAN region but the Philippines is nowhere to be found on their list of country-destinations. • Microsoft bared plans to invest US$2.2 billion in Malaysia; • Microsoft also pledged US$1.7 billion worth of investments in Indonesia; • Apple the most valuable company in the world recently announced increased investments in Vietnam on top of the US$16 billion it said it had already made a few years back; • Amazon on the other hand is investing somethig like US$9 billion in Singapore; • Now Google is said to be investing about US$2 billion in Malaysia according to key...
SCS hoax No. 3: 'Court' ruled vs China's claims"
Read full article: SCS hoax No. 3: ‘Court’ ruled vs China’s claims - Rigoberto Tiglao Third of four parts THE third-biggest lie over our South China Sea (SCS) disputes with China has been disseminated in the Hitlerian tactic that a fallacy repeated again and again would be believed as truth. Indeed, nearly all media reports on our SCS quarrel contain versions of the following statement: "The Philippines sued China before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in 2013 over the country's claims in the West Philippine Sea. In July 2016, the court ruled in favor of the Philippines and rejected China's nine-dash claim, covering almost the entire South China Sea." That's from a May 24, 2024 report in the Daily Tribune, ironically...
Did It Changes Anything?
Wag na tayo mangamba dahil kayang kayang tayong ipagtanggol ng travel vlogger sa “West Philippines Sea”. 😜😜 In the report published by Philippine Star, the lady said: "Yes, nagawa namin! Nagawa namin! Ang galing, ang galing ng moment. Atin 'tong sandy Cay na ito. Atin 'tong Spratlys, iyon 'yong feeling. Nakakatakot, siyempre. Nakakanginig din ng tuhod 'yung experience kasi doon pa lang makita mo may mga Chinese vessels nga na puwedeng pumunta agad, puwede kaming habulin” . Read full article here: Traveler waves Philippine flag on sandbar near Pag-asa Island So ngayong naiwagayway mo na Ms. Travel Vlogger ang Bandila sa Sandy Cay, paano nito naisulong ang interes ng mga Pilipinong mangingisda at naisaayos ang relasyon sa pagitan...
Insights 101
The Congressmen hearing the plight of the fishermen had no answers to their concerns about: 1) Why there is a rising number of Vietnamese fishing vessels around Scarborough Shoal (Bajo de Masinloc). 2) Why Chinese Coast Guards have no issues with Vietnamese fishing vessels 3) Why Philippine Coast Guards seem to not mind about rising Vietnamese fishing vessels The answer in 1 is the fact that the 2016 South China Sea arbitration decision declared that Bajo de Masinloc is traditional fishing grounds of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Filipino fishermen. The likely answer to #2 is that China and Vietnam have deepening cooperation in the South China Sea, specially among their coast guards. There have been a series of confidence building...
Saan Na Kaya Tong Dalawa?
Powell + Tarriela: Our Assertive Transparency Initiative in the South China Sea is working and has caused great reputational damage to China in the eyes of the international community. China: The China Coast Guard is now authorized to detain trespassers in our territorial waters in the South China Sea by June for 30-60 days without trial. We will impose a 4-month fishing ban over our waters in the South China Sea from May 1 to September 16. Me: Yes Ray and Jay, it’s working alright.
Tactics
Tactic na palabasin na magkaaway sila para mapagusapan at matakpan ang mahahalagang issue tulad sa one of the biggest pogo island sa makati, west Philippines sea, etc. Awa effect at confusions sa mga tao, buti nalang matatalino parin talaga yong bumoto sa tama
