Duterte blasts Oligarchs
PhilWeb President Roberto Ongpin resigns after DU30 singles him out as an oligarch he wants to destroy. The online games under franchise by PAGCOR will not be renewed. The shares of stocks of Philweb has since nosde dived
Pres DU30 is starting to mind other matters this time vs Oligarchs (ololgarchs is the term he uses this at times especially at the environment summit held at Ateneo de Davao last Tuesday) This seems to fit into his socialist bend, being pro people, and vs exploitation. He started out by lashing vs former DTI secretary Roberto Ongpin whose Philweb online permit he cancelled. He was reputed to be close ally/crony of late strongman Ferdinand Marcos and other Presidents. Ongpins involvement in insider trading also irks Pres. DU30
1. He says he is not vindictive, but he mentioned businessman Eric Gutierrez who was a Mar Roxas ally and lashed out vs the same for not paying taxes for his plane and chopper, and his destructive mining in Agusan
2. He promised to close companies who refuse his heed to end contractualization. He mentioned about big and small malls
Now that he is turning his gun vs the rich in society, expect trouble and another kind of war. There are still debates on pros and cons of mining and labor contracting and outsourcing and the parties may not have done their homework and jumping to the wrong conclusion (as Trump did vs Filipinos)
