Move on or walk on in the floodwaters?

It is more fun criticizing

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?)

Historic wage increase of P85.00 or 12% can hurt the BSP efforts to control inflation

It is more fun criticizing

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. 

Visayan pirates marauded China in 11th century AD; lets bring them back

It is more fun criticizing

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?)

Manila DND chief dismisses scholars claim that Batanes is part of China

It is more fun criticizing

 There is a recent claim by Chinese scholars that Batanes is part of Chine. The DND DFA have all ready denied and disagreed with this claim.  The soc media is filled with funny comments regarding this latest claim Some parties claim that China is a province of the Phil and probably part of greater Binondo.

The Chinese are good people and only those in the military or those who are agressive and are hawks hav ethis opinion,  Chinese are good people, love good food, are intelligent and reasonable.  We share the same typhoons, and flood  and we take pity on those affected by typhoons that hit the PhL too.   No time to trade barbs on petty things...

Typhoons and the Senator suggestion that we leave flood control invetigations alone; isnt flooding a major concern?

It is more fun criticizing

Typhoon Inday  (Intl name Fung Wong)  is throwing the entire country into a floodbath (not blood bath) and showing  proofs of neglect of the flood problem and why really there could be corruption  The money drawn and spent did not go to flood control projects.  The billions went elsewhere , otherwise it would not be as bad as this.
