Meritocracy in govt appointment is still far off. in our appointment of managers and leaders.  We cant still benchmark the example of Singapore in selection of senior managers.  It was their secret in propelling Singapore to a premier spot in economic progress.

The latest appointment of President to be Duterte, Vitaliano Aguirre as DOJ secretary and the others were probably based on school boy ties at San Beda College.   Most of his cabinet members were either childhood friends or school mate.

We hope that appointment of Mark Villar made after the NP Coalition MoA with fmr Senator Manuel Villar was a good choice, as DPWH Secretary.  (or a horse trading?)

We wish our new President well.

Over the week end  I attended a gathering.  It was a celebration of dual achievement both involving outdoor sports.  There was drinking Saturday evening, both hard drinks and beer. There was whisky also and there was a lot of laughter and loud voices.  The following day, beginning at 10 am, there was a lot of drinking.  There was beer, Mexican wine and whisky. Later in the afternoon, there was grass burning and sniffing.  The drinking was near the roadside and there was lot of laughter, shouting and merriment.

The people who attended were mostly professionals and had jobs.

Now yesterday, the President to be Rodrigo Duterte announced that some of this merriment would have to end.  Kaya pala enjoy sila/kami yesterday.  Time to get sober and get this nation going. Less foolishness/merriment is seen when Duterte assumes power.

There was an alleged news that tell that Leni Robredo will immediately resign if she gets elected as VP and will serve under Duterte. True?  This is alleged news leak is making rounds of  Facebook and is drawing in a lot of comments, both favorable and unfavorable.  First no one in her right mind would do after the hard work of campaigning.  It is also turning back mandate of the people for minor reasons. Very unleaderslike

From Meme buster it says that is a hoax!








Another hoax is about the alleged deposit of the to be proclaimed President Rodrigo Duterte on November 20, 2011, which was a Sunday. Somebody made the mistake of copying the wrong dates
It was an obvious fake document and PDI swallowed it hook line and sinker without verification

How can honorable Senators and campaign managers post these horrible hoaxes.  The social media and the internet makes it so easy to created these hoaxes and they destroy people.  Now is the time for healing.

Philippines May 8, 2016

As we go to the polls tomorrow to elect the Philippines 16th President, it is the fearless forecast of this writer that Duterte will be the next President of the Philippines under a clean and honest election scenario.  I thought before that it was going to be Duterte Bongbong but Bongbong was battered by the martial law campaign, the EDSA rev group about the alleged crimes ill gotten wealth of his late father.  But we would not count out Bongbong yet because, the Duterte supporters may overtue  total Robredo win.    Leni is strong because of her persona as well as because of the resources of the administration.

Binay was weakened by the Trillanes Cayetano attack at the Senate hearing.  Myriam ranks low but her health condition is her problem. We would not want to be led by a leader whose health condition is at risk.   We wonder why Roxas despite the slant the the press, the resources of the administration, the weight of his grand father's name, he could not pull through this one.  And this is his second try.

As for Trillanes attack on Duterte, it came a little bit late.  Maybe he thought that the timing was perfect because it was too late to counter attack having thrown the bomb two weeks before the election.  The trouble was BPI would not want to get the wrath of Duterte supporters and played coy in issuing its certifcation.  It was a dud

His pronouncements that a coup is imminent and that he could lead one again vs Duterte  puts a question on why he was released because he not Duterte is the really dangerous leader and man.  He should not count out the alliances of Duterte  whose party is left of center.   He promised salary increases for soldiers and policeman once elected.  He has the backing of retired general too. So the good failed putsch leader must be careful in his ranting.  It also created fear among people about Duterte. Duterte is a compassionate man  as shown by many videos and as narrated by a colleague when he was consulted by the mayor on FINANCE FOR THE COUNTRY.

Anti Duterte TV ads riles up supporters of Duterte


In a desperation move, the opponents of Davao City Mayor took the ultimate mudslingling by coming out with anti Duterte TV ad shown at ABS CBN  The media company (which has shown slant for the administration candidate, husband of an anchor) denied having a hand in the hand.  It was allegedly paid for by Sen Trillanes (is he campaigning for VP or the top honcho for mudslinging)?

How can Sen Trillanes pay for the ads in 3 stations when he cant even have a TV ad of his own?  Who is financing this attack?

Pres Aquino calls for Poe Roxas coalition

Pres Aquino asks for Rozas Poe coalition in order to defeat Duterte whom he say is a threat to democracy.  Duterte with his recent pronouncement is likely to bring back dictatorship (note he will close Congress if an impeachment would be filed vs him, cutting ties with US and Australia.).  This will negate the gains made by his mother and his reign.  If Poe and Roxas would join force (how this is to be doie - somebody would quit the race) the 40% of Poe and Roxas can beat Duterte.

Binay's camp called for free and honest election rather than calling for coalition (It was alleged that the ballots were highlighted with the administration candidates.)    Some quarter fear massive cheating to happen.

Why is the President so concerned about Duterte's win?  Dont we have enough controls vs dictatorship.?

Are his plans workable? It is too late I guess.  Even with Trillanes making an expose on alleged hidden wealth of Duterte, the hold of Duterte on his lead still remains.

From Manila Times - LP black ops vs Duterte

SWS and Pulse Survey biased? (Mangahas owner of SWS is cousin  of late Fernando Poe, Pulse is owned by Lopas and Cojuangco.  Cojuangco support Grace Poe

Three days before the election, the mud slinging is at its highest gear. Trillanes Roxas Poe are out to destroy Duterte.

The bombshell that Trillanes exposed may yet swing soft DU30 supporter, it they were to believe the allegations of Trillanes that:

       1,  Digong is a hypocrite.  Pretending to be poor but owns 30 pieces of real estate;  He explained that he received donation from Quiboloy and the property he acquired has been distributed to his children

       2,  That he does not have money but has hundreds of million at BPI Julia Vargas  BPI has issued certification that his BPI bank balance is only P17,000.  There is no account history.

Many that I know of are praying and campaigning hard so that DU30 does not get elected because of :1.  foul language (always PI) 2.  for making dangerous and fearful pronouncement that he will close the Congress if ever he gets impeached    3 and for being a liar.

For foul language, it has been his habit to use PI.  For making dangerous pronouncement, that is trademark that is why he gets things done. He talks tough and acts tough.  That is the type of leader we need now.  Too much democracy, pussy footing has not done this country good.

Somebody, a doctor who just came from Davao was shown the rescue operations center in Davao. They have different ambulances for different cases. They have sophisticated expensive rescue and extraction equipment in case of building collapse and or severe vehicular accident.  The Control Center for their CCTV are have multiple cameras and can get profiles even if the person wears caps or face helmet.  You can really say wow. It is one of the best top of the line CCTV in the country.  And yet, not one name of DU30 appears on this top of the line Davao City govt property.  The doctor who does not want his wife to wear Du30 wrist band now allows his wife to wear the wrist band

Foreigners swallow sinker hook and bait what the opponents pronounce about the negatives of Digong. And many are likely to do so.  Some media companies show their slant;    in the debate the sponsors show whom they favor, and it is not DU30.

But the hardcore Digong supporters are Digong no matter what.  Those who strongly support DU30 are in Nielsens SEC classification of AB,C D.  He is weak at .E  Surprisingly.

Tha man to beat and the man to throw mud at now is Du30.  For sure.

WHAT IS SENATOR TRILLANES REALLY UP TO?

    What is is real agenda?  Is he really running for VP or is he in a search and destrroy mission vs Mayor Duterte?  His behavior is rather odd. Rather than campaign to win, he is on destructive mission.

Did he really get the P500 million from SMC?  Is this  the service for the P500 million.  One is now in the state of disbelief:  who is lying:  Duterte or Trillanes.  Is his affidavit true?  Well he said the name of his informant is not real because Mayor Duterte may have him liquidated.  Lies lies more lies. Can he force BPI to show the P211 million; why does the certification show only P17,000.  Are his allegations vs Binay also true?  Were this lies lies and all lies?   He give Senators, and similar putsch leader in state of disfavor with voters.   One wonders how voters will judge him and Senator Honasan former military and similar coup leaders

Lavish lifestyle of 19 drug lords discovered

From Rappler - lavish lifestyle of 19 drug lords at NBP

Rizal Philippines
May 3, 2013

There was feature in a TV Crime Chanel for Asia that featured the discovery by the DOJ at the New Bilibid Prisons of the lavish lifestyle of the 19 drug lords. The NBI swooped down at the NBP compound in a raid (but the inmates havee been visibly been tipped off) They had wifi master bed room Rolex and other luxury watches, Hermes Perfume, lap tops, hundred of cellphone which they use to conduct operations, millions of pesos in cash, deposit slips, even a strip bar, and sex dolls.  Definitely this could only have happened with the collusion of prison guards and offcials.   The purpose of putting the drug lords at the jail is to stop the drug trade but they continue and flourish under such friendly atmosphere.  The prison guards love it too, because they earn extra; and so with prison guards. Happy times continue.

So shocking!. Only in the Philippines!?
