The Supreme Court has struck down DT tariff vs other nations. One company, owned formerly by a cabinet official may have obvious conflict of interest by betting on the refunds to those companies affected: 20 to 30 cents on the dollar, and can stand to profit immensely on the bet
90% of the worlds advanced microchip are built at TSMC. Built by a Chinese senior officer Morris Chang at Texas Instrument. How leadership in chip manufacturing got pulled from USA by Chinese. Can US recover their chip dominance (led by Intel before? But they got lazy)
A lot is being published regarding alleged illegal reclamation projects at Laguna Lake. This is pervasive at Taguig and even in our town where hectares of the lake are being reclaimed. They say that LLDA will not allow any construction beyond the 12.5 mllc elevation But it is not. They allege that LLDA law prohibits reclamation projects (I tried to look for such authority under the law that created LLDA This post can not find clearcut rules on reclamation.)
The GM of the agency appeared to be surprised and may be his monitoring team are napping?
Now its flood control projects being masqueraded but in reality are reclamation projects. (One of them a siomai Lord turned billionaire, alleged not to have been rich due to the product but because of something else)
Will there be more with the coastal road projects?
Really these activities must be controlled becasue of frequent floodings, pollution and its possible effect on the use of Laguna Lake as reservoir for Manila Water and Maynilad. It is possible that the water storage capacity of the lake could be affected with the decrease in volume due to reclamation
Some proposals are being forwarded so as to nullify the hoard of cash that were delivered allegedly to house so top govt officials. It would be costly to CB (and also erase their income. CB makes a lot on bills printing) and bad for the majority of Filipinos and limited withdrawals instead.
But how would the crooks hide the money. They need to transfer them abroad and launder them and they will ge caught. It will be caught by local banks if deposited locally. There has to be other way of laundering this. (Hmmm so that is why many are looking for business plans for of acquaintances)
Some quarters are saying the good Governor is in cahoots now with the govt that appointed him.
The arrest warrant issued by ICC should go through the local courts as guaranteed by the constitution. according to the minority group at Senate. So says too Sen Ping Lacson, especially if the penalty is below six years if Senate is in session.
The other group says that the ICC is above all the courts in the Philippines and that the former membership at Rome Statute. gives ICC jurisdiction
The rise of Semirara I heard saved the DMCI from the condominium difficulties However the party is over. The coal mining contract of 50 years cant be renewed. It is ending in 2027. And DOJ denited its motion for extension and DOE is bidding the contract award. MVP is one of the parties who will bid.
The stock market reflected this woe and the SCC stocks was in a blood bath. Its price slid 21% deleting P30 B in its values.
1. Nothing lasts forever;
2. Baka wrong side of the fence of politics ang Consunji
3. Govt is all powerful, as was in the time of Duterte. Kaaway ng big business
It was alleged in this video that a European powerhouse, a top 20 nation in total GDP had $3 trillion heist on the Philippines about 70,000 tons of gold. This was based on records dug by a Philippine historian, Ambeth Ocampo. Like the rest of its conquest Spain found out that Philippines had plenty of gold mines the most famous of which were in Surigao, Benguet, Camarines (the Paracale) and numbering about 200 +. Spain had forced mining activity that brought the gold to Spain using the galleon trade from Manila to Acapulco, and from thereon to Spain. (There is another video that the mountains of gold did more harm than good to Spain. This caused inflation and encouraged lack of productivity among its citizens
Rep Leandro Leviste is reported to be on a 6 mos leave, probably at the behest of his detractors (administration). He would seem to have buckled from pressure from his opponents due to vulnerability as former businessman and who relies on the govt for his licenses and approval as a power supplier.
He should have not attempted to cross the lines with the Cabral files and his exposes being a former businessman. This is a Machiavellian reality - do not wound (or even attack a king) most especially if the king is all powerful and almighty
She was accurate in predicting the rise to power of first Afro American Obama. She made her prediction about Trump long before he became a politician. She was blind and illiterate and her predictions were chronicled by historians, relatives and people around her.
1. America would experience the great divide: conflicts
2 Donald Trump would return to power but he will face a lot of legal obstacles even from people around him (its happening with Republicans who want him out)
