In the current impeachment trial, some personalities were presented as experts. "forensic expert" It turns out that the said witness only spent two months in the field
As per Malcolm Gladwell in his book "Outliers" you can only be considered an expert when you have been exposed and spent 10,000 in the said field (or roughtly 10 years.
Some people including some senators are shrugging off the nitty gritty of cross exam of the witness, saying its useless (and further triggering off lawyers vs non lawyers in the chamber conflict) However, for me, as studenet of logic and critical thinking, this hearings just like Corona case are living example of fine thinking: logic, critical thinking.
So far, yesterday, with cross of Atty Vinluan the defense, tipped the balance of facts in favor of the defense, if this post may give an opinion:
1. Unsigned unverified affidavit and comparing this with ICC;
2. Hearsay prior to the appointment as NBi director and yet makes comment on the investigation report
That further weakens the affidavit of agents which mas made prior to his appointment. Without ownership..
3. Presumed bias due to
1. The wife is a congresswoman who endorsed the impeachment
2. Theh witness has a column which has negative view of the person being impeached
4. The witness was not subpoenad, but volunteered
5. The witness did not answer on yes or no but argues (and thus leads the court) and makes his opinion
(to sway court). Not being called out by the court?
6. Continuing investigation. Therefore the affidavit of investigation being incomplete cant constitute valid and legal evidence vs the perosn being impeached
This post does not intend to sway nor influence the outcome of said proceeding but merely points out the defects in logic, and education on critical thinking. However this is weak day for the prosecution.
However I want to take advantage of the billions being spent on this proceeding to benefit my self improvement and continuing education
However, the agents of the bureau committed typo errors weakening their testimonies. And their credibility. (Not to mention their pending cases)
Should we now ignore the floods, move on away from flood control scandals? These videos are grim reminders that that pronouncement could be misplaced? Arent the floods paralyzing traffic, commerce and daily life of citizens.
What will be priority if you cant work, and the economy stands still because of the flood (that should be mitigated due to misplaced and/or stolen billions?)
DOLE secretary Tolentino announced an P85.00 salary increase for MM, or a historic 12.22% (P85/695). The BSP head is worried about its impact on inflation that it is trying very hard to control (now currently at 7%). A certain employers sector is worried too about the accompanying productivity that the said increase would produce. Without an accompanying productivity its bound to produce additional woes to all ready bad situation: inability to meet GDP growth target, loss of jobs (23%),
rising prices (expect more of that), downgrading of PHL by Fitch.
Before our concern was providing jobs but wages that are in the near P20k will be difficult to sustain. Employers will cut back and resort to mechanization and automation Surely, AI is here to assist in this difficult situation. Employers can manage, but what about the workers. Every solution produces its own problems (11 laws of systems principles) and this post expects this to be managed well.
Whose afraid of the Chinese now. (Yes they are our friends. They too should be friendly too with us)
Gone were the days when the Visayan pintados attacked their villages. May the spirit of the ancestors guide us in these difficult times That the said people want to dominate us. They should be the one who should be cautious
We share the same plight during typhoons and other disasters (earthquakes) being neighbors. Some of the richest in the PHL came from China, including the current SP.
They rode on boats called balangay.
This was during the time of Song dynasty (They were right about ancestors of Cong Sung Tay ha6)
Does this mean that PHL before has conquered China (in particular Visayans?)
