Spoiled
The Department of Education P5.69 billion school feeding program was spoiled under Sara Duterte's term as Education Secretary, according to a Commission on Audit report. Undelivered milk, rotten food and expired buns with insects in them and more. In some instances, school division offices had to distribute the already delayed food items without regard to the feeding program guidelines. Preventing the food from going to waste was prioritized over properly identifying the undernourished students to feed. A total disaster, Just WTF? Filipino children deserve better!

GINERGER PATI LAPTOPS? ABA MATINDE! DepEd under VP Sara Duterte failed to deliver ₱9-BILLION laptops in 2023 The Department of Education (DepEd Philippines) under Vice President Sara Duterte failed to deliver almost ₱9 BILLION worth of laptops and other e-learning equipment in 2023, it was learned Monday. At the hearing for the 2025 DepEd budget, the department’s director for Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS) confirmed the Commission on Audit (COA) 2023 report which observed that for that year, DepEd only spent over ₱2.18 billion of its P11.36 billion budget for computers, laptops, smart television sets, and other e-learning equipment. Director Ferdinand Pitagan was responding to Rep. Congresswoman Atty...
Standard of Politicians Nowadays
Does Duterte have as much shame as his predecessors? They seemed to have more balls than he does. It would be very rare if he faced the hearing personally whether in the senate, house, or in court (since when he did appear in court after his presidency?) Then it looks like Bato misunderstood what Chiz said to him. Is this the type of top-tier politician that DDS wants to lead the country? Are they afraid to confront challenging inquiries and defend their convictions?
10 Interesting Trivia About Philippine Senators
For some Filipinos, electing Philippine senators is more like casting votes for a popularity contest. Gullible voters are rife and outnumber those who still believe in “voting wisely”. Philippine senators who win each election year serve 6 years in office, so it’s disappointing to know that the less deserving are now senators (and some now in jail), and the country deprived of better, more qualified law makers. But enough of the complaining. We can only hope that future voters will wise up and do their due diligence to elect deserving candidates. Who knows? Perhaps in the future, one of them might achieve a milestone that will somehow make their predecessors proud. And so in this article, we feature ten prominent Philippine...

Necessary Precaution or Excessive Force?
The recent attempt to arrest Pastor Apollo Quiboloy has stirred up quite the controversy, with figures like former President Duterte, Vice President Duterte, and their allies, including Senators Padilla and Marcos, claiming Quiboloy is being treated unfairly. But let's take a closer look at the facts before jumping to conclusions. 1. Quiboloy himself has said, “I will not be caught alive,” which should raise some red flags. So, when the Philippine National Police (PNP) showed up with SWAT teams, helicopters, and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), they were doing what was necessary to handle a potentially dangerous situation. First off, Rappler reported that Quiboloy has a seriously pricey gun collection, worth...
New Standard of Nationalism
President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent condemnation of excessive force during the attempted arrest of David Quiboloy, leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, has sparked widespread debate. Duterte's statement has faced scrutiny, given his administration's controversial record on human rights and law enforcement. Under Duterte's leadership, the Philippines has seen a highly aggressive campaign against îllégâl drugs, resulting in numerous fatalities and accusations of human rights violations. Duterte’s public endorsements of harsh tactics, such as his "shoot to kill" directive for drug offenders, have raised concerns about his commitment to human rights. Critics argue that his condemnation of excessive force in Quiboloy’s case appears...
Maharlika Investment Fund?o Scam?
Ipapasok daw ang pera ng taumbayan na nasa Maharlika Investment Scam sa pagkonekta ng kuryente sa mga isla sa national power grid para daw gumanda ang supply ng kuryente sa bansa. Ang ganda pakinggan, di ba? Pero usisain nyo kung sino ang nakakuha ng negosyo ng pagsusupply ng kuryente sa mga isla ng bansa. At usisain nyo kung kelan nila nakuha ang mga negosyong ito. Sagot: dalawang malaking cronies/oligarchs ang nakakuha ng marami sa mga negosyong ito AT nakuha nila ito pagkatapos ng eleksyon ng 2022. Parang alam na alam nila ang mangyayari. Hahaha. So ngayon gobyerno ang popondo ng koneksyon para gumanda ang supply ng kuryente sa mga lugar na ito. Hulaan kung kanino mapupunta ang tubo? Laway lang ang pinuhunan kasi di sila...
PH Eexit Na As Asean Member?
Seriously? Really? Are we even remotely aware of the political, economic, and security consequences of such a move, if at all? If the Philippines exits ASEAN, it will lose its platform for regional diplomacy and collective bargaining power on trade, security, and regional stability issues. In that case, PH will need to rely more on bilateral agreements, which is fine but could be less favorable than multilateral agreements secured through ASEAN. Likewise, PH may lose preferential access to the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which could negatively impact exports, trade, and economic growth. If the Philippines exits ASEAN, it may no longer benefit from the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and other trade agreements like RCEP, potentially...
American Hypocrisy
The US is not a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS. Russia however, is. Surprised? Here’s more: In December of 2023 the Americans announced they are preparing to make a territorial claim by extending the seabed boundaries of the Alaskan peninsula in the Bering Strait just across Russia’s Siberian coast of their northeastern most Arctic boundary. This claim will extend the US continental shelf and by default their sovereign territory, and in effect extend American soil closer and closer to Russia. Although the latest American territorial claim doesn’t overlap with Russia’s, the Russians have vehemently opposed the American claims citing the US is not party to UNCLOS — the UN body that for...
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...
