Massive misinformation on Scarborough, SCS issues WITH our disputes over the South China Sea territorial and maritime disputes again hogging the front pages, I am again astonished at the massive misinformation on the issue, a testament indeed to the tremendous power of the US and its propaganda apparatus. What gives these lies so much power is first, deep-seated anti-Chinese racism, which early in our history as a people led to massacres of the Spanish-era Chinese settlements, called the parian. Second, it is another instance of that deeply ingrained mentality that psychologists and anthropologists call the "us vs. them" syndrome: that is, evil is the other tribe, the other clan, the other fraternity, the other basketball team, and...

Price controls only work during crisis. Baka naman ibig mong sabihin eh you want to control the market? Nahiya ka pa. LoL

This is another evidence of the growing authoritarianism of the BBM regime: harassing duly elected and appointed government officials they perceive to be allies of PRRD by either suspending them in the case of elected officials or outright removal and replacement without cause for PRRD appointees. From DavNor governor Jubahib to Gov. Mamba of Cagayan province, Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama, MinDA chair Mabel Acosta, the 40 or so high ranking PNP officers of Davao City, and plenty more that were not publicized or we just don’t know about. While I agree that officials who were responsible for what happened in the famed Chocolate Hills needed to be held accountable for failure to exercise their proper functions, it seems to me suspending...

Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) have been a significant topic of debate in the Philippines for several years. Initially, POGOs were welcomed with open arms, expected to bring substantial economic benefits and boost local employment. However, recent discussions and analyses, such as those presented by Prof. Cielo Magno, have revealed a more complex picture. While POGOs were anticipated to be an economic boon, the reality is far more concerning. Issues related to crime, money laundering, and social costs have come to the forefront, raising questions about their overall impact on the country. Moreover, the minimal contribution of POGOs to the national GDP and their association with îllégâl activities have further fueled the...

THE RICH GOT RICHER. The Philippine high-end real estate market which is the top 5% most expensive in the property sector experienced the highest price increases last quarter at 26% the highest in the world beating NYC and Tokyo. Ikaw? Ramdam mo ba ang pagtaas ng kita mo tulad ng top 5% richest in the Philippines? Tayong mga hampaslupa, nga nga. 🥴

Pero Hanggang Social Media Nga Lang Yung Pag mamay-ari😐

When our LGUs even entertain fixers so the release of their own funds from our own Department of Budget and Management is expedited: we all know this country is ****ed big time. 🥴🥴🥴

Love triumphs over all but hey Business as usual.

ALMOST 80% of our GDP is from private household consumption. Is this good? For the ordinary Filipino, the answer is no. For business owners it is a big yes. For politicians eager to make his mark in Philippine politics, it’s a sad yes. In March 2024 Household consumption was pegged at 78.3% of our entire GDP. Simply put, almost eighty percent of our economy is fueled by household consumer spending which means only twenty percent comes from savings & investments, exports, and government spending — the other three components of a country’s GDP. This is why a rise in nominal GDP is not necessarily a reflection of how resilient or evenly distributed the wealth of a country’s economy is since it only measures total spending. The...

Possible ba kaya na Ang pagtutol Niya sa Chacha at sa hearing ni Senator Bato patungkol sa drugs linking our dear president? What is your thoughts?

Ukraine was Putin’s red line against NATO expansion into Russia’s doorstep since 2007 at the earliest. More recently, Mr. Putin declared another red line: the soon to be delivered F-16s to Ukraine from NATO will be viewed by Russia as ‘nuclear capable’ threats. During, before, and even after his inauguration, Mr. Putin without any hint of ambiguity said that Russia will not hesitate to attack military bases outside of Ukraine that may provide logistical support for these jets to deliver bombs against Russian troops. Analysts say those bases referred to by Mr. Putin maybe those NATO bases in both Romania and Poland. Mr. Putin further stressed he will not hesitate to use tactical nuclear weapons against these bases both in and outside...

DCPO Director PCol. Richard Bad-ang was relieved of his duty as DCPO chief, the Police Regional Office XI confirmed. Bad-ang was relieved due to the death of the 7 alleged drug personalities following Mayor Sebastian Duterte’s war on drugs declaration. Mabuhay mga shabu pushers! 😍😍😍

Lmao 🤣

Where is the outcry from Gibo, Jonathan and Tarriela? How come Raymond Powell is so effin silent about this? Because it does not jibe with the narrative they are selling so hard to the Filipino people?

Say what?! Keso naman, are you ****ing kidding me?! C’mon ‘brow’ we are all grown ups here. Kung binobola ka ni Heart please huwag n’yo po kaming bolahin Mr. President.

Well, Pag-Asa Island is also claimed by Vietnam and China (both Beijing and Taipei leaders). Again, Filipinos are under the collective delusion that China is the only power they are up against in this conflict. This is another one ego trip. It has no value besides massaging one's ego. It is an infantile kind of nationalism that is not based on any tangible benefits for the country, except to fill the psychological void left by having a weak state capacity, of having a level of development that is sluggish. A display of infantile nationalism meant to serve as a fig leaf for the real issues that matter to every Filipino. Ayuda for the poor, and ego trip for the rest. Try nitong "Filipino travel enthusiast" gawin yan sa Sabah. Para makita...

Before any Talyanista can claim this is a result of BBM’s pro-US foreign policy let me just say that funding for the project was sourced from the AIIB. The bank was established on the initiative of China’s Xi Jinping back in 2013. The bank began operations sometime in 2016 with China having the biggest voting rights at 26% followed by India with a little less than 8%. Russia and countries of the Global South as well as most of the NATO countries are already members. The AIIB also sits in the UN General Assembly with a Permanent Observer status. Key points about the AIIB culled from the Investopedia website: • The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is a multilateral development bank that finances development projects in Asia. •...

“HINDI KO NA PO MAALALA, YOUR HONOR!” I find it concerning to read the numerous comments and ill-informed opinions regarding Mayor Alice Guo, particularly from individuals who lack sufficient knowledge yet act as armchair experts. Hear me out! In MOF Company, Inc. v. Shin Yang Brokerage Corp., the Supreme Court (SC) held that the burden of proof rests with the party who brings the suit. Although this is a civil case, this fundamental principle of evidence law dictates that the responsibility to prove a claim lies with the plaintiff, not with the respondent, as the latter cannot produce proof of a negative. Furthermore, in the criminal case of Daayata, et al. v. People, the SC emphasized that the prosecution bears the burden of...

So inshort?Meron talaga?at hindi A.I.

Where is Uncle Sam? China launched their Joint Sword 2024 'A' war drill aka "Punishment Drills". Hello Amboys in the AFP and the private sector! Hello din sa mga Ensaymada Bulaggers! Ano na? Absent si Ankol habang pinalibutan ng China ang Taiwan. Tapos mag expect pa tayo na dadating sila for PH to defend a rusting ship in the WPS? lol

Marcos be like:

Dear Presidential Communications Chienes, Without context, comparing Indonesia's 1st Quarter GDP growth of 5.1% to the Philippines' 5.7% can be misleading due to the significant difference in the size of their economies. Now, sit down and listen to La Reyna's blah blah why you should stop making such direct comparisons: 1.) Economic Scale Matters: Indonesia's GDP is approximately $1.3 trillion, which is significantly larger than the Philippines' GDP of $417 billion. Gets ninyo?! Basic ritmitik tells us that a smaller percentage growth in a larger economy can represent a much greater absolute increase in economic output. Por ejemplo, a 5.1% growth in Indonesia's economy adds roughly $66.3 billion, whereas a 5.7% growth in the...

We filed House Resolution No. 1745 directing the appropriate House Committees to conduct an investigation on those with alleged history of involvement in extrajudicial killings and the possible human rights violations in their respective areas of responsibility for a period covering the last twenty-five (25) years until the present. Let us look at the totality, the whole picture where we can see that the human rights violations have been perennial threat against a significant number of Filipinos for several decades now. Let us look at other LGUs and at a longer time period, not only at Davao City and not only during a six-year period. Let us not be selective as it shall not solve the real issue here. We call the CHR, DILG, DOJ, PNP...

The Philippine stock market is weak because the US Dollar is strong. The USD is strong because the Americans can always print all the Dollars they’ll ever need. And since the USD is the Global Currency Reserve demand for the green back will keep the USD strong. The result: All major currencies around the world have depreciated significantly while their stock market are not doing well either. Who benefits? Of course the American oligarchs with the inflated valuations of their companies’ share prices and consequently their net worth along with their investments in other currencies. Imagine holding a USD denominated Japan debt in April 2019 at USD1 = JPY111 of say USD 1.0 million. That’s equivalent to ¥111 million. Today at USD1 =...
