Times for ghosts, souls, spirits, saints and ghost projects!

It is more fun criticizing

Tonight until Monday we remember and venerate the souls of saints, dearly departed and albeit is somewhat unreligious way, ghosts and weird creatures.   We also are reminded of ghost projects

The President vowed to run after ghost projects perpetrators  ( Doest this apply to relatives)

We elected someone who allowed ghosts to roam around us and we are responsible as well.  

Sen. Bato de la Rosa's deadline to surrender was yesterday, manhunt intensifies

It is more fun criticizing

The deadline for Sen Bato de la Rosa to surrender peacefully ended yesterday, P50M bounty  for his surrender in force. (13 pcs of silver for betrayal and even parents will betray sons and daughters for this amount)

Have greedy people betrayed him.   Rumors say that PNP and AFP are closing in and that he is in Cotabato and being harbored by a  Moro group.  (It seems that the good senator has chosen his place of hiding well:   COTA BATO  - stone fort;   karhyme ng pangalan)

Others say its Bukinon

Will this spark big trouble in Mindanao.  This would not be as easy as Quiboloy if the setting is jungle.  Thats the lair of Bato

Is the govt focusing on keeping people poor, persecuting enemies rather than being positive:    keeping investors here in the PHL, minding inflation, the energy crisis, protecting the PHL currency (now at Php64: $1? 

Why are governments asking citizens to prepare for emergency? What event is going to happen?

It is more fun criticizing

Are they fake news?  Soc media and the search engines are replete with posts to prepare for at least 3 days with water, flashlight etc to prepare for any eventuality.    In US is it about war with Houthis, in Taiwan with China, in Japan same and natural catastrophe, 

These allegations trouble the mind of many.  We pray these are fake news and God bless who publish these

Others say its great reset after 2000 years, others end of times on Nov 13, 2026 (Friday the 13th).  These are frightening.  We hope these are fake news and we keep our faith in the Lord...

BSP governor - highest paid govt official being criticized for the slide in the dollar to peso rate

It is more fun criticizing

Many welcomed the appointment of very well educated and trained BSP governor.  He is close to us in college and many thought that nothing could go wrong.  And when it was published that he is one of the highest paid govt officials, well he deserves it because in his hands lie the future of the nation.

But now many cant defend him from the flak of deteriorrating Peso to dollar exchange rate?   Hindi ba meritorcracy and good pay results in good results?  Where is the good result?

Most of the best paid govt officials and BSP.  Save us sirs  Be accountable to us taxpayers.  

A low value currency (P64 - $1)  results in higher oil prices (and one feeds on the other) higher imports of capital and consumer goods, and higher cost of living.  It impacts the lives of millions of people.   And there are a number of them who are well paid -  millions in annual pay and there are 14 of them...

These are think tanks highly paid.... Why?

This post cant explain this bad result for the good governor

PBBM advises the Filipinos " not to panic amidst rapid" decline of peso vs dollar now at P64 -$1

It is more fun criticizing

President Bong2 Marcos Jr. has urged Filipinos not to panic with the peso all ready at P64 : 1 .  This has happened in a very short while.  

Who will not panic over this.   Lower petot vs dollar means more expensive imports and everyday prices:  fuel, food clothes and the like.  It means lower quality of life. Benefits of wage increases have been nullified.  It of not to panic if you dont eat or use importted goods or materials.  But we do..

Is is out sound advice?
