We really hope and pray for that.

But major industries have been deeply wounded and affected.  This will have trickle down effect on many sectors of the economy.  The jobs lost in big companies will mean less purchasing power, less money in circulation  All ready many small businesses  have closed shop.  Daily we lose billions more.  

The very harsh and strict rules imposed and being observed right now, spell less and less revenue for many businesses.    Like me, I do not enter restaurants and other stores that shoo me off if I do not have face shield.  I feel bad towards banks who herd customers and treat them that way as they impose retrictions on people entering the bank  There will be days of reckoning  and comeuppance. 

The govt which has borrowed extensively is looking at empty coffers because not too many are paying taxes, and where will they get the repayment if there is lower tax base.   The lawmakers are not keenly aware that when they budget there has to be sources of funds.   They are being depleted.  Many businesses are online and therefore the govt revenue measures has many holes

One can not but help notice the change in alliances and friendship amongst personality due to the forthcoming election

For the administration

PD and Emmanuel Pacquiao.  Pacquiao and Duterte relationship is souring up, despite perceived alliance and material support of the  former during the 2016 election.  (No Sa Pacq or Du Pacq)

PD and the Marcoses.    No more political ambition for the Marcoses.   Alliances have stopped.  

No more Sa Marc or 

How about political debt to Villar and GMA

For the opposition:

Who is it going to be Leni?

Sotto and Ping (Ping So)

Effectively with the death of Pinoy the opposition popularity would have weakened consdierably.

May be Tulfo and Willie can launch their political careers or even Ding Dong.  Or even Glenn Acostoa (Gabby Concepcion)   or even Cupcake.   Who knows.  

Confusion in protocols during the pandemic

The administration would deny this and claim that their efficiency coordination has been up to par.  But some observations do not support this self praise.

1.  The orders vary from National to province to province, town to town and barrio to barrio.  They have their own sets ordinances that are in conflict.  This resulted in rotting of food produce because of this confusion, trucks bearing food have not been able to travel at market place.

2.  Face shield and face mask.  In US, ,before the pandemic blew up face masks were not mandatory, Now post pandemic peak, face masks and face shield

3.   DOTR says face shield is not required for bikers;   LGU ordinance says it is required.    And science  says that outdoors, and when not in public places infection/transmission does not take place.  

4.  Will jabs prevent transmission?  Yes or no?  We are not sure.  We are not sure if seniors who are vaccinated will still stay at home or can they go out.  Even senators argued on this.     So sometimes, we doubt if vaccines will work or not.  Will you be immune for a year?  Not sure.   They say we are still in the trial stage of the vaccine

      Are there deaths from the vaccines?   They are not sure.   But there are deaths even among those who were vaccinated.

     Above all who is in charge of this health problem?   PNP or DOH.  It would seem to many that PNP is and fear that we have de factor martial. law.

    Why are PNP personnel in a purely civilian mission wearing Battle Dress Attire (the fatigue camouflage type)   Are we in war?  And so it seems as they deal with civilans (still their address despite the fact that PNP is being demilitarized and programmed to be a civilian organization to "SERVE AND PROTECT

Paging CHR regarding TV shows prosecuting domestic problems; are rights of parties being violated

A noontime TV show featuring resolutions of domestic problems:    paternity suits, love tales, property disputes has gained  traction and  popularity.  And the  name of the  host is a byword whenever there appears to be dispute arising.

But wait?   Can you discuss all of these things in public in a TV show when all the stuff beingn discussed are personal, and are embarrassing?   Will it be good for the family and the children of parties concerned?

Litigants:   the plaintiff and the  defendant have  rights.  and are guaranteed under the  constitution.

Is CHR sleeping?   Are  DOJ SC watching over these items?    Is this OK

My friends and acquaintances are asking me if I had the job.  I even got a text from the LGU VM

Negatives:

1.   The lgu has ran out of vaccines (well DOH is the cause)

2.   There are side effects;  they could be serious and may be cause of death.

       I am a senior and  I may have the  co morbidities that MDs are talking above

3.    There are persistent publication allegedly from former Pfizer officials, and scientists about the serious global complications of  getting such vaccines. 

Positive

1.   Only a very small percentage die;

2.   We have to be vaccinated if we are to get herd immunity.  

3.    The govt may impose carrying vaccine card if we are to travel, and go to public places like malls or banks,   We need to cooperate.

We just got word that former Pres. Noynoy Aquino just died today, at age 61 (renal disease).   May God bless his soul and may his death remind us the mortality of men and life and that we should stop maligning  each other.   

Let us remember his good deeds and stop talking whatever shortcomings he has.  Let us not be caught between the sides who like him and  the the side that dislike him.  

Former govt officials told me that being a govt official is a thankless job.  It was only after 15 years that his /their cases (fabricated or imagined cases) were dropped.   That is torture.    The friend I know developed a difficult heart (hurt excusse the pun) disease.    And that seems to be the pattern.   

After Noynoy, Duterte will be next.?

I met a neighbor this morning and asked me whether I realize that we are living in a virtual martial law environment;  I said yes.

The pandemic was an opportunity for those in power to flex their power and authority

1.  The police a civilian authority is dressed constantly in military outfit - Battle Dress Attire  in fatigue

      Are we in war or is this marial law;

2.  Some measures being imposed by the police authority are severe and cruel;   as if the people are the enemy and not the virus;

3.  Some measures vary and capricious in implementation

4.  The unchecked exercise of power has resulted in rise of govt debt by 3 million since 2020, and 300 billion for three months into 2021;  this much spent in early campaign at barangay level ++++

5.  With regards to election, it seems that they have it all sewed to the dynasty:   even the close allies are out of the game.
