Electoral Fraud from Manila Times

I was talking to several people yesterday and they said for the first time ever they were unable to vote.  The alleged hacking of the Comelec voters list could have altered the voters list resulted in about 6 million voters disenfranchised.

Coupled with the changing of the hastag by a Smartmatic programmer on the election day itself, one can conclude that VP Candidate Bong2 Marcos has the right to protest.  Who says AES is infallible?  It is easier to cheat with AES.  It makes voting easier but not cheat proof.

From Tempo - 6 suspects in drugs killed

Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has yet to take oath of  office on June 30, 2016 but all ready there is a surge of killings of persons involved in drugs.  Some suspect that the killings is a part of a plan to get witnesses away who will implicate policemen involved in drugs.   But police said the killings were in in legitimate operations vs the drug lords dealers and pushers.  Police who are suspected to be engaged in similar nefarious activities have been warned.

The church has prayed  (oratio imperata)for stoppage of these killings as CHR has formed task forces to investigate the killings.

Is the church getting donations from the drug lord. Which is the greater evil the drug lords destroying the lives fo 26 million drug dependents?  Or the human rights of  the drug lords?

One wonders that it is only now that police is arresting making encounters with the drug lords. Do they have protectors that was why before they were untouchables?  Who were their protectors?

In QC alone about a 1,000 suspects involved in drugs all ready surrendered.  Nationwide more were arrested or surrendered (fearing for their lives?)


Oratio imperata opposing the culture of death (or to protect drug lords?)

America first - From CNN Donald Trumps speech at NY last night

In a speech to turn around Clinton's scathing remarks about Trump economic policy, and perhaps one of the best speeches of Trump so far, he promised America first, and making America rich again.   USA he said was at the forefront of science and technology but now has been thinking small.

He promised to make US forces strong strong strong with the best technology has to offer.

He promised to appoint judges who will uphold the US constitution

He criticized the foreign policy of Clinton that creates porous borders, that robs Americans of jobs, that exports jobs abroad, while making a lot of contribution to the Clinton foundation.  And thus accused Clinton to be one of the most corrupt to seek presidency.( Clinton under criminal investigation from Radar on line)

Her foreign policy destabilized the ME, handed power to ISIS, strengthened Iran, and Syria and weakened Iraq.  And her trade deals with China vaporized many jobs in USA.

Here Trump seems to have a clear vision of USA, and makes him fit to be GOP standard bearer, focussing on issues rather than personality.  It further cemented his image of the man who would be the next President of USA.

                                             See the build up at upper right;  what caused it?

                     See the roadside terminal at upper left, and how it forces the buses to ply the 3rd
                      and fourth lane;  what are PNP, MMDA, traffic enforcer doing about this?  Cant
                      they see and solve this?  What about under DU30?

                               What?  The highway was widened to give way to parking and stalls; only 4
                                lanes left to the road functionality, ie passage of vehicles.

Yesterday, we joined a bike race in Lagro, Fairview, QC.   Going there early morning was not a problem because there were still few vehicles.

But going back took longer than usual. Why?  From the ground level, we can see what ails the traffic problem especially when there are many passengers on ordinary commute day

1. While the road was widened by up to 8 lanes in some areas of Commonwealth, about 2 lanes are used by PUV (fx and jeepneys) from the bridge up to the overpass as terminals. Thus the bus and other UV had to unload and load at 3rd and 4th lane;  thus traffic is clogged up to Fairview

2. The motorcycle lane thus, the 4th lane, is used by buses for plying their routes and to load and unload.

3.  There was no policeman and traffic enforcer on hand.  Not a single soul.

What can be done:

1. Put up a proper a terminal for UV (fx and jeep) at the said area;

2.  Apprehend and/or tow vehicles that are illegallyparked

3.  Enforce traffic rules strictly

4.  Assign enforcers police on Sundays and week ends.

From Manila Bulletin  PSG bans network from covering DU31 thanksgiving party


From Rappler

There will be no longer press conferences and interviews with the media, according to to be Presidential aide Christopher Go told in an interview last June 3, 2016.   Talk less, less mistakes would be an apparent objective.   Instead, press releases and interview will be through state run television.

However, this post sees this as an apparent reaction to the call for boycott by NUJP, regarding the misunderstanding on his statement about journalists who were killed and who were corrupt (I listened to the statement / audio  of the statement, and there was no causal statement to that effect)  The retaliation started by having all media, except PTV 4 banned from covering his thanksgiving party

Really if you quote his statement out of context, then you can misunderstand Digong.  For example, about giving the citizen the right to kill criminals the drug lord.  What he said was, the citizen must cooperate with the authorities in arresting drug lords and sellers.  If you have a gun, and the criminal fights, then the citizen can kill the criminal.   (Taken out of context, you can think of Duterte changing the criminal code?)

From ADB - Pasig River Clean up

Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission


There was the much vaunted Pasig River Clean up project several years back.  But I passed by JP Rizal in Makati and I was up close and personal with the Pasig River.  The water looked black, smelled like sewer and garbage was floating at the river.  Perhaps, the dwellers along the Pasig River are just too much uncooperativeness that is why they continue to dump garbage and what you have to Pasig River.

A city with river and bay near it (with body of water) means good feng shui.  It means life and progress.  A stinking garbage full river and bay means ill health and bad fortune for its people.

Can we work together to clean Pasig River

MM traffic unmanageable Chairman Francis Tolentino  P2.6 trillion needed for mass transport system and 137 km of road networks.


Ever since former MMDA chief Francis Tolentino let traffic cut through portions of  C5, it has become a bottle neck.  The u turns of former MMDA chief BF worked.  Where are the five traffic lights:   at Ateneo, at  Acropolis, Lanuza, Mckinley and Marcos Highway cor Katipunan.

The traffic at Rosario, Ortigas, C5 area forms into a gridilock because the traffic slows down at Ortigas because of traffic light at Ortigas, Lanuza, ;  the traffic from Ortigas Tiendisitas  slow down before the another Lanuza stop light.  After Bagong Ilog,the traffic speeds up until Mckinley.

If you travel and commute, you find out after Mckinley, and after Unimart, there is no more traffic.

Can somebody remove the bad memories and heavy traffic that failed Senatoriable Francis Tolentino left behind.   It was much better than before he changed the rules.
