There is so much traffic lately. It does not take a genius to explain why:

1. For instance, at the boundary of Taytay and Angono, obstructions abound:

    1. The arch makes the road narrow;

    2. There are vendors and parked tricycle near the  arch

    3.  The PUV load and unload passengers at the area.

2.. At highway 2000, before the bridge, the traffic can delay you by one hour;   from SLEX or Makati, via
     the C6 can take only 30 minutes;

   1. The road is irregularly shaped. Some narrow some wide and there are obstructions in the middle like
        post

   2.  There is a tricycle terminal at the very kanto

   3.   The traffic enforcer gives priority to traffic coming from the  West Bank especially tricyles;   Only
          about 4 vehicles are allowed to go through every cycle which lasts for about 5 minutes. Hence the
          traffic jam can extend up to the bridge before c6

   4.  There are just too many traffic enforcers who do not seem to know what they are doing

   5.  The traffic enforcers do the traffic manually.    They over ride the traffic lights.

Are there so many prosti, ie authorities give approvals only when paid?

Last week, we forked out 30% of a P5.7 million payola to a hatchet man for a document needed in developing a project.in Southern Tagalog (Region IV)   There is no need to go through an SB presentation, first reading etc, public hearing. by coming across.  Otherwise it would take endless meetings and hearings.    We thought this to be a convenient mode, and we can get the permit at once.  Tomorrow, we go to a R I city  and pay more than half a million payola to distinguished gentlemen of local govt., in exchange for a resolution and a permit.

They say the big telcos made them get used to this type of thing, forking between P300t to P500t to have a tower cleared and erected for no delay at all.

But why should we pay extra for things that can be given due course.  All problems and conflicts are dilemmas are posed along the way to up the value of the payola.

At the end of the day it is all about money as Julia Roberts discussed with Richard Gere while in bed.  She said, it may be shameful to be a prosti, ie to do something only in exchange for money.  Richard Gere, he too may be a prosti because he only works for money.

The men we meet and talked with for this projects in public looked so statemanly and leader like, great.   But at the end of the day, they will grant approval only in exchange for money.   And in a way, they have demeaned themselves, and like Julia Roberts and Richard  Gere, in the process lowered their stature/value by being prosti.

From GMA News - Sen Sonny Trillanes files plunder case vs. Sen Richard Gordon

From CNN - Trillanes files plunder case vs Gordon


Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV made good his threat to file plunder case vs. Sen Richard Gordon. In a 22 page  (24 sa CNN) affidavit that he filed before the Ombudsman today, Trillanes alleges that:

     1.  From 2004 to 2011 Gordon used his PDAF  worth P193 million to the  Red Cross and Sen Dick conspired with the Sec. Gen Gwendolyn Pang for anomalous projects  ( CNN report mentions the total is about P400 million

"In a 24-page document, Trillanes said Gordon allocated P193 million from his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to Red Cross from 2004 to 2011, with some funds coursed through the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

He added another P200 million was allocated from Gordon's PDAF to Red Cross with the help of former Red Cross Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang. Pang is also facing charges."

                            Who is Pang?  That is the pretty lady at the left

Pang was investigated as early as 2013 but was cleared

     2. That the disbursements/projects were made without approval of the Board of Governors,

     3.  That the disbursements were made without benefit of public bidding as is required for govt funded projects by an NGO

    4.  That Sen Gordon continued to be trustee of Red Cross despite being a Senator in violation of  Govt Laws:   ethics and corrupt practices act.

    5.  It was alleged that the funds so diverted were used in Presidential and Senatorial bids of the Sen Dick

We still wish to ascertain the charges.

Some criticism

1  What ever it is it seems that the senatorial candidates especially those who are not well off or who do not have financial  backers are forced to commit high crimes.  As was in the case of Sen de LIma.  She allegedly used the Drug Lords at Bilibid to fund her candidacy

2.  And now Sen Dick Gordon as alleged.....

3. Di dapat pala 4 Senador, Sen Dick included ang nakulong.  Selective justice nga ba Ombudsman?

Many Pro Dutertes hate the  guts of Trillanes saying he is off his rockers and is crazy.  But he was an honor graduate of PMA and multiple skills and is making a lot of sense.  His charges are well researched  thought of and planned, and very smart as he  conducts his questioning

Many vs Duterte are glad there is Sonny Trillanes. What do you think

Articles regarding contribution to the church

I was stunned by the declaration of the head of a church which relies only on fundamental Bible teaching when he said that donating is a sacred act.   And therefore they do not accept donations from non members or from whom they think the donation was ill gotten  Taking funds from unbelievers is prohibited (3 John 7; see also 2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

But the Roman Catholic church and even during the days of Noli Me Tangere was known from people from high places who did not necessarily got their wealth from legal sources.

Donations giving, result from the unity of the donor with Jesus or God.

So some people resist donating or giving, but we have encouraged this organization to give 10% of its income to various advocacies:   building schools, donations to feeding programs, orphanages, and home for the aged.

Reasons why we should donate:

1.  It is an obligation
2.  It is  privilege
3.  It is a form of stewardship
4.  An act of worship
5.  An investment

So better start giving.

Many ask if we have benevolent God, why does he allow troubles to come and affect us?  God is perfect and will not allow bad things to happen to us to his creation whom he saw as the Best

So in the morning we are confused by the news:

1. Motorcycles collide, two dead
2.  Truck and  car collide all occupants dead;
3.  The MRT again malfunctioned, the passengers had to walk
4.  The Maute group about to invade Manila
5.  PDRD30 to declare revolutionary government  -  chilling scenario

The world is under the confusion of the devil.

11. 2 Corinthians 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

So if a lot of bad things happen to you in the day, you did not pray hard enough, or you were not determined to make your work perfect

Ateneo sweeps first round 12 -0 as it beats UST Growling Tigers, 102 -83

I often watch the games of NCAA and  UAAP because they look like real basketball to me.  The PBA is a mere intramurals of the theme to the MVP group (well except may be Ginebra)  Sana alisin ang mga imports.

There are also imports at NCAA and UAAP but maybe limited to one at any time.

I watched the LPU San Beda game and wow, the level of play is way way higher than the NCAA of yore and even when the series started this year  LPU Pirates certainly did great and their school should remember their great performance this year.  You should have watched the SSC- R, Letran, and SSC -R game. You should have marvelled at the tough defense, steals, 3 point shot and attacks at the painted area by the Golden Stags. If they did not get to championship, they just lost to really really champion teams.  But next year watch out for them

And so with the Ateneo Eagles UST Growling Tigers match today.  It could have been an upset with the brilliant performance of Oliver  de Guzman.  It became a 4 point game at one point.

UST played as if it were a championship game.  Brilliant passes. And attacks.  Treys.   Their import played well too.  UST Growling Tigers should be proud of what they did today. The breaks went against them:    too many turn overs, travelling calls going against them. 

Most memorable was the slam dunk of Ravena - a hammer dunk.

2.  Tricycles who cut in and out of traffic

3.  A traffic terminal near the intersection

4.  Traffic enforcers who give priority to vehicles at the West Bank and (tricycles.)  They are the tricycle's  champions.  TMG -  Tricycle Management Guards

Happy All Saints Day tomorrow.

I had a conversation this morning with someone who believe that at the barangay and homeowners association, they pass laws that are unenforceable, because there are no penalty who will enforce the provisions of the order/rule.

In my studies, a system to work, as in a law or order, it must  contain the following:

Purpose
Input,
Output
Throughput
Human Aid
Information Aid
Enviroment
Catalyst.

Incomplete laws

If the law/system is incomplete, the system/law wont work.  Sadly the law/rule makers do not consider these.  Thus for the catalyst for instance, there has to be rewards and  punishment that must be included.   If for instance:   you have the anti dog poo rule in a subdivision and there are no specifications as to penalty, who will enforce, how will the penalty be collected and managed, nothing will work.

For instance, the pedestrian lane provision in RA 4312  while being flaunted by many civil society senior citizen group is continued to be ignored by many because it is toothless, there is no penal provision, and should be deleted, because anyway, no one follows nor enforces it.

There were laws that were passed for instance like the SUC scholarships-  they have no definite funding. (A case of missing inputs)  Some say the requirements is in the order of P20 Billion.  Finance and budget people estimate this to be in the order of P100 billion.  In the case of SSS pension being raised by P2,000 a month for senior, this post estimate that indeed SSS would go bankrupt if no sources of funds/revenue are not thought of.   Now they are floating the idea of increased contribution to which the Leftist, who favor the incraese of pension now object

There  are many laws though that are enforced selectively, and or the ones concerned choose not enforce, or not every body knows the law or simply ignores the same

When I was an activist, all that was taught us was ibagsak, ibagsak destroy the system that promotes injustice and corruption.

While many Presidents and Congress have come and gone nothing has improved in those two areas:   injustice (and slow wheels of justice) and corruption will continue to be around.

For injustice, NPA had kangaroo  courts and death/assassin squads to carry out quick justice and retribution.  While Congress continue to debate on the  merits of such penalty death squads will continue to mete our quick justice too under the legal govt to do away with expensive and slow justice system, sometimes with the real perpetrators going scott free.  Our current legal practice/system is long expensive and painstaking.   Lawyers and judges make.... and hay... While the oppressed suffer.   Without the death penalty, many will take law into their hands and employ hired assassins instead.  Quicker and cheaper.

As for corruption, even if we have cabinets headed by men with integrity and guts, if the system is really corrupt (well entrenched  with old employees and allowed by CS rules -   ie the law on security of tenure and due process), and if there is a perception that there is selective anti corruption drive (eg.  if the family is perceived to be engaged in corruption, or influence peddling) then nothing much will change.  It is still trapo with just another name and slogan

Unfulfilled Administration promises from Manila Times

It seems that the enthusiasm behind the  country's top leadership has waned despite high ratings in the country's survey.  No wonder the honeymoon of the administration with the Left is over, and there is no love lost between the leadership and Sen. Sonny Trillanes.  Many are thankful that Trillanes is there because otherwise, the top leader is unstoppable in his ways.

Direction going haywire

The direction of the administration has seem to have gone haywire with many of the promises unfulfilled:  the horrendous traffic, crimes (still abound -  pinasok ng baklas rehas ang bahay namin a  mere 80 meters away from the Police Station) marami pang snatchers at non drug related killings

Integrity issues hanging

And there seem to be credibility and integrity issues hanging in the air with regards to Trillanes rift, and the members of the first family wealth, connection with the big time drug lords, the BOC connection

Errors in decision making/knowledge

The top honcho must have made some shooting from the hip, lack of consultation/nor knowledge of the system when he made the promises.  Some how he got the votes when the carrots were dangled:

       1.  Increasing doubling the salaries of soldiers

       2.  SSS pension increase.  This would break the SSS.  Now to make the SSS viable, the contributions  have to be increased and there are objections from the employers and employees

       These are possible if the tax reforms are in place.   And so with scholarship at SUC.   There are no funds yet.   Decide and think and solve the possible problems later?

      The administration seem to facing a lot of challenges in having the tax reform bill passed.

     One might surmise that the  way govt is spending money,  the  finances are in big deficit now.

     Some advance the criticsm that the way the country is being run, is as if it is Davao City

Trapo din

The current leadership is not much different from other adminstrators who give favors to parties who supported the elections campaign and funding, the kababayan and friends family members given preferences.   And who can say for sure that corruption has stopped:   at BOC, at DPWH, at BIR

And making the govt a center of Mindanao folks and even making Davao  City the center of the country

Many were  suckered in with pictures and promise of brighter tomorrow which will never come

Pikon and revengeful

Some  parties, the big media companies which draw the ire of the top honchos are allegedly soundly rebuked and subjected to harassment.  As in the case of Mile Long property of the Prieto.   Prieto owns the Inq which is critical of the leadership

Hair raising scenarios

About a revolutionary government about nationwide martial law?

The right leader, the right change for our country will not come yet as of now.

Despite the turn over of drug war to PDEA from PNP, unexplained death allegedly perpetrated by RIT (riding in tandem)  continuesWhile authorities continue to deny that such exist, even in Senate hearing, we can conclude that such exist/ is true

1.  Some istambays boast that they were allegedly recruited to be part of the RIT liquidation squad:  they are to be provided with guns and ammo, ids, mission order to liquidate someone and are to be paid say P10,000 per head for persons liquidated. They will never be apprehended because of proper ID and mission order  Well he was not recruited, kasi madaldal, but where there is smoke, there is fire.

2.  In the place where I join the morning sun worshipper, there is somebody who is paralyzed in one half of the body (hemiplegic) a victim of stroke.  He told that it was probably a punishment for his deeds in his job, ie to liquidate persons that his superiors assign him to do.  He works in a govt security force for the province. How many has he killed?  Many. He cant remember and count.

We can speculate that such death squads exist to preclude long court proceedings and even dismissal of the case (arising from faulty police work)

How he wished he was dead.  He  is suffering from his misdeeds

The price of sin is not death,, but long years of suffering from chronic or painful disease.  May the Lord forgive this man from his sin - killing fellow human beings.

We believe that those who killed more than 3,000 in the drug war, those who committed and ordered the same shall suffer the wrath from God.  No need to protest or make waves about the same

This is one sore spot in the administration. When the drug war deaths are criticized.  It is hoped that no such war is declared vs this opinion/post

Ano tactic ito for loan abrogation? Malulugi GSIS at PLIs.   What a way to express gratitude to lenders

PLIs are threatening to sue Dep Ed and the teachers if the loans are not paid (the salary deduction agreement not carried out;   The PLI will not lend unless there is an agreement to deduct from salary, with the consent /request of the borrower) .  Some concerns are raised over the mindset of teachers and financial literacy -  ie of thrift and budgeting.

The Dep Ed or school principal should have filtering devices when ever teachers apply for a loan so that the P4,000 net take home pay limit is not breached.

In a program conducted by the rallyists, other issues cropped up and the participants were not just jeepney operators and drivers by KMU, Gabriela, Bayan (we now know who te anarchists are)etc in full force and incorporated other issues in the melee.  The LFTRB spox Atty Aileen Lizada noted this.  Mateo left the program in the afternoon while the other sympathizers took over

Tigil Pasada not part of destabilization plot - PISTON  (Yes PISTON issues were, the other irrelevant unrelated issues were....)

The govt had to use only 30 buses to supplant the tigil pasada of jeepneys.  Less than 0.11% of the total riding public were affected by the strike (as work and classes were suspended)

PRRDU30 must have previous intelligence reports on this that is why he floated the idea about revolutionary govt this time, not martial law to crush the anarchists.   He earlier declared in the chaotic meeting with the leftists that he will have the anarchists in the street shot.

The destablizers must not liken DU30 to Marcos nor other Presidents.  If he had no qualms about stopping drug addiction/trade in the Philippines and having collateral damage along the way, he will not hesitate doing the same to silence the anarchists.   He ordered all out war vs Maute and ISIS (we are more more succesful than Iran in doing this swiftly).  God be merciful on the anarchists for testing the  patience and resolve of the President.

He mentioned several times that he will order an all out war on several occasions:   after his party was ambushed in North Cotabato, and when he floated the idea of a Revolutionary Govt.

On the other hand Mateo, the Piston head said that this will merely force the hand  of PISTON to launch another strike (DU30 dared the group to do this.  Tagalan pa strike. Gawing isang buwan Magutom kayo)
claiming this violates this constitutional rights to protest.  Talk about that if you do not have franchise.   LTFRB should start non renewal or revocation of franchise of striking drivers and let us see

2. Suspend or do not renew franchise of the known anarchists, or file cases even of rebellion vs their leaders

3.  LTFRB must be reasonable in this modernization order. Masyadong arbitrary at mataas presyo. Upgrade over the next 10 years,or phase out. LTO must be strict in non registration of very old jeeps. MVs and there are tens of thousands of them

PDU30 floats idea of a Revolutionary Government - are you for it?

It is more fun criticizing

From Phil Daily Inquirer News Update

Pres Duterte floated in a taped TV telecast the idea of revolutionary govt as a counter strategy vs plotters and destabilizers whom he thinks are communists and yellow tards.  He will have them arrested.  So what else is new.  What is the elephant before us?  A TOTALITARIAN RULE. Not martial law.

So the political prisoner fear was right after all.  The good president can not tolerate criticisms, objections and opposition.   So the critics are right after all with the actions vs the Ombudsman and  CJ.

Talk about the sudden foreclosure of Mile Long property owned by the Prietos, as a revenge for the criticism by Inq vs the good leader

Can we eliminate corruption at the LGUs?

It is more fun criticizing

The good President want to end corruption in the country.  But can he really do it?  Especially at the LGUs.  He cant do it at BOC right in the heart of MM, very near Malacanang. How about corruption in 1,500 cities and municipalities scattered across the country.

Examples:

In the past:

1.  In Region 1V, our under the table arrangement to get SB resolution involved:

     a.  For a 4 hectare  project in island province -  P1 million.  It was surprising  that the hatchet man
          was a graduate of MPA from a Jesuit run school of good govt.

    b.  For a 7 hectare project, we gave out P3,000,000 to SB and the mayor.  The Barangay Council and chairman took a P300,000 grease money

    c.  For a 3 hectare project near MM, we gave P1 m to the mayor, donation of 100 units apartment which he used to strengthen his hold on the urban poor, plus P300,000 worth of filling materials for a road project (which was not funded)

2.  For now:

   a.  An alteration of plans payola that was being charged us was P40.00/sm of a 16 hectare project or P6.4 million

  b. A five hectare project in NL (Region 1) would involve cheap  arrangement P500,000 only

How did we escape other grease money arrangement in other areas:   we had the chief  of the LGU be one of our stockholders (properly dummied of course)

How can you stop this?   No we cant.   I my books I do not like this form of dishonesty.   But if you dont, it will take you years before you get your permits and resolution.  Years back, my uncle who was with DAR told me not to come across people in his office who ask for P15.00 /sm facilitation money for conversion.  I did I followed him and our conversion came out 8 years later.

 You simply book this as CGS and you can wait for your permit. Considering the high cost of political patronage and of the election campaign, one may view this as a win win situation.  Walang sumbungan.

Telcos routinely cough up P300,000 for locational clearance of towers.

How about foreign business who allege to be Mr. Clean (eh  corrupt din sa ibang bansa:  USA, Japan, Europe etc)  Dapat on the level tayo.

Can we remove corruption at the LGU?

 SOP at the LGUs by Maganes

So we think as some solons think, we ought to abolish BOC to remove corruption. Ano abolish na rin LGUs?
Any Pres in his right mind will not antogonize LGUs now, the grass roots, or else, they will not win.

Fmr Senator Aquilino Pimentel, the author the LG code, ano po say nila?
