Illegal reclamation projects at Laguna Lake

It is more fun criticizing

A lot is being published regarding alleged illegal reclamation projects at Laguna Lake.   This is pervasive at Taguig and even in our town where hectares of the lake are being reclaimed.    They say that LLDA will not allow any construction beyond the 12.5 mllc elevation   But it is not.   They allege that LLDA law prohibits reclamation projects (I tried to look for such authority under the law that created LLDA This post can not find clearcut rules on reclamation.)

The GM of the agency appeared to be surprised and may be his monitoring team are napping?

Now its flood control projects being masqueraded but in reality are reclamation projects.  (One of them a siomai Lord turned billionaire, alleged not to have been rich due to the product but because of something else)

Will there be more with the coastal road projects?

Really these activities must be controlled becasue of frequent floodings, pollution and its possible effect on the use of Laguna Lake as reservoir for Manila Water and Maynilad.   It is possible that the water storage capacity of the lake could be affected with the decrease in volume due to reclamation

More than 90% failure rate of AI at jobs?

It is more fun criticizing

Was it overhyped?   Were we scammed?

I found out memos and study made by  AI were full of errors.   I had to rely on my own skills.

Was this the reason why some AI stocks are crashing?

Will demonetization of P500 and P1000 bills deter the plunder of Philippine Treasury by the flood control tibs?

Some proposals are being forwarded so as to nullify the hoard of cash that were delivered allegedly to house so top govt officials.    It would be costly to CB (and also erase their income.  CB makes a lot on bills printing) and bad for the majority of Filipinos and limited withdrawals instead. 

But how would the crooks hide the money.  They need to transfer them abroad and launder them and they will ge caught.  It will be caught by local banks if deposited locally.  There has to be other way of laundering this.   (Hmmm so that is why many are looking for business plans for of acquaintances)

Some quarters are saying the good Governor is in cahoots now with the govt that appointed him.

Does ICC need local courts to approve arrest warrant

It is more fun criticizing

The arrest warrant  issued by ICC should go through the local courts as guaranteed by the constitution. according to the minority group at Senate.  So says too Sen Ping Lacson,  especially  if the penalty is below six years if Senate is in session.  

The other group says that the ICC is above all the courts in the Philippines and that the former membership at Rome Statute. gives ICC jurisdiction

Socialism, welfare state fails often

It is more fun criticizing

 Nothing is ever free; nothing comes from nothing  Eventually someone has to pay for the amount that was stolen, borrowed, or forcibly transferred.  

Someone has to sow, harvest and mill the harvest.
