It’s been months since inflation became a social problem to most where disagreeing citizens point the dilemma directly to Train Law.  The surging of rice and oil price have made a downhill effect on other basic consumer needs.

Inflation



But what makes the outcry from the ordinary people, if there is any, is the price surge of rice which recently hit its peak to more than 60 pesos per kilo. The government is in continuous operation to capture rice profiteers and private business hoarders who take advantage of the consumers. And is now offered at a more affordable price.

Mura ang shabu, mahal ang bigas 

Risa Hontiveros’ recent tweet draws flak on the direct accusation of corruption and mismanagement of the President regarding inflation. She posted,

“Nagmumura ang shabu pero nagmamahal ang bigas.” A post comes with a photo with price comparison, surprisingly shows that shabu costs 1,600 pesos per gram.

Netizen slams Senator Hontiveros

A brave netizen, MJ Reyes slams Risa’s tweet confirming that cost per kilo of rice during Arroyo’s time is 30 per kilogram but made a drastic change to 45-50 per kilo during Aquino’s administration. And now in Duterte’s admin, it shoots down to an estimate of 37-44 pesos.



Reyes then adds,

“bagsak ang presyo ng shabu kasi mababa na ang demand.” 

A million or so drug users are now being rehabilitated in lieu of “Oplan Tokhang” drug campaign of Duterte administration. And in the present government, most drug players are imprisoned. With the given statistics, Reyes asks Hontiveros,

“Diba Dapat matuwa ka?” pertaining to the good news listed.

Irate netizens slam Senator Risa for accusations pointing to Duterte, when in fact, as a part of a government body shall be helping the institution and its people. One even sarcastically questions how Hontiveros came up with the SRP of shabu. Aside from throwing questions on Risa’s accomplishments for the Filipinos, netizens bring up the PhilHealth funds that are allegedly corrupted by the senator.

HAAAAY, ALING RISA, ANO BA?

Ayos lang naman po ang maging opinionated at vocal, pero sana naman our opinions are anchored on reliable information and well thought-out analyses.



Like I always remind my FB friends & readers: Get better informed, more than opinionated-- aba'y lalo na po kung ikaw ay isang senadora. 😉

Huwag matulog sa pansitan. Bumababa na po presyo ng bigas. Kung may alam kayong nago-overprice, aba'y paki-report agad sa DTI at DA para maaksyunan nang sa gayun ay makatulong pa kayo sa taumbayan at sa gobyernong inyong kinabibilangan.

Bumaba na nga malamang ang presyo ng shabu. Di ba nga 1M+ users na ang sumuko at marami na ring users-pushers ang natiklo at nakulong o di kaya'y nanlaban at natumba?

Bumaba na rin ang crime rate by +/- 30%, 2016 vs 2017, then 17% lower ulit, 2017 vs 2018 1st qtr! Winner!

Hindi perpekto ang ating gobyerno pero di maipagkakailang marami naman na ang magagandang pagbabago.

Ayos lang po ang magpaka-kritiko o kahit na nga kontrapelo--pero sana dun lang tayo sa totoo. Mas maganda sana kung makipag- tulungan kayo.

Filipino Catholic’s open letter to Duterte: Stop attacking the Church and focus on preventing China from invading us.

Monty Mendigoria, a Catholic and the president of the Skateboard Association of the Philippines Inc. writes an open letter to the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Mendigoria, it seems, is worried about the president giving our country to China. Monty Mendigoria and President Rodrigo Duterte / Composite photos from Facebook and northboundasia Church issues He started by telling the president that Catholics hear mass because they believe in God, not because of the priests. And if ever they give donations, it is from the own free will, and not anything that was imposed or something. Some just want to be a good instrument while they walk the earth. So he advised the president that if he does not believe in God then he should let those who believe Him be. Stop attacking the Church and start focussing on the real issue.

Franchise Renewal ng ABS-CBN muling isinantabi ng Kamara

Photo from Google Images Muling naisantabi sa Kamara ang panukalang Franchise renewal ng broadcasting network na ABS-CBN. Sa pinakahuling pagdinig ng House Committee on Legislative Franchises na pinamumunuan ni Palawan Cong. Franz Chicoy Alvarez, hindi pinansin ang inihaing franchise renewal application ng Kapamilya network. Ito’y sa kabila ng limang (5) panukalang batas na nakasalang hinggil dito. Nabatid na mas nabigyan pa ng pansin ang prangkisa ng iba pang kumpanya kabilang ang First United Broadcasting Corporation, Lanao Del Norte Electric Cooperative, Bicol Light at Power Corporation kahit pa may pagtutol ang ilang miyembro ng Franchise panel. Paliwanag naman ni Alvarez, naunang asikasuhin ang franchise application ng mga nabanggit na kumpanya alinsunod na rin sa Section 48 ng House rules. Pinamamadali aniya ng nasabing patakaran ang pagtalakay sa mga panukalang lehislasyon na inaprubahan na ng nakalipas ng Kongreso subalit bigong maging ganap na batas....
