It is very possible that plunder cases will be filed vs Sen. Cayetano. Little by little the opposition to the majority are being silenced and the obstacles the votes to defeat impeach Sara Duterte are falling by the wayside. Shall we expect more?
The flood control projecs in Marikina which seemed to withstand the strength of the recent flood make many Filipinos conclude that indeed the Japanese should just be prequalified to build our flood control projects. What is odd is that these contractors used Filipino labor. Where lies the difference?
This could be one of the most effective flood control/mitigation - low cost, and doable? Paging and concerned govt agencies and LGUs No gains here so it is not attractive. How about NGOs and party list. Tigilan bawasan ang pamumulitika
Mamuno po tayo ay lutasin ang problema ng bansa, hindi ganansya. May mga programa mura at palaging sinasabi nating knee jerk solution
Flood scandals are something we can not ignore. While billions (or even trillions) have been allocated, appropiated, part of GAA the floods continue to afffect hundreds of thousands of Filipinos.
When is the suffering going to end.
1. Is there really a master flood control program?
2. Are there mitigating modern, effective actions:
1. Dikes
2. Flood control gates
3. Pumping stations
4 Impounding areas
5. Reforestation
For the latter Korea has embarked and completed a 10 year program for reforestation. They replanted 11 billion trees. 63% of Korea are now covered with trees.. Definitely it has contributed to flood control How about us?
In the meantime, we are ignoring the problem and moving on to a program where margins are bigger and there is no audit, no investigations are possible. Is this rocket a raket disguise? Have they not heard of Spacex whose rocket launches are cheaper? Do we have strength and resources for this new raket?
A solon has urged the public in his speech, to stay clear of flood control fiasco and JUST MOVE ON. How could we just ignore this problem and move on to new modus - RAKET NAMAN (a sub for flood control modus?)
Maawa naman kayo sa daan daang libong Filipino na nagdurusa sa baha. Di ba iyan ang focus ng programa ninyo? Dalawang mukha isang individual?
You see the money for getting a project, even your name at the National Expendure Program (NEP) has to be paid up front 25% of it all. So there is no doc/contract yet. It is verbal, tiwalaan. So where is the evidence. Can you sell even one guilty as a hell soul to the court. None. Nyet. Nada
Its a perfect crime. You know its there. Like air. But you cant describe it. Or document them. Only ZCo can be the answer. To indict all his cohorts. This includes. The head...
Despite huge amount of money being poured into flood control project, Manila stil continues to sink by at least 10cm per year. This is a result of climate change (more rainfall due to typhoon) and sinking of the land due to over drawing of water from the aquifier. The mountains of Rodriquez and San Mateo, Antipolo are denuded and are useless in holding back flood water. The same phenomenon is happening to towns around Manila
Should Manila relocate (Just like what they do to Jakarta exactly for the same reason ? It was said that Manila is below the sea level.
Due to the order of PBBM ordering the removal of system loss from electricity bills. People were aghast over the inclusion of losses, the subject of management checking responsbility to remove such loss. Included in the system loss are the technical loss due to conductor resistance over long distances and others are non technical like theft, jumpers, and others.
Some cooperataives report of cooperatives they having to shoulder the electricity consumption of some LGU officials
The Pasig RTC has issued a TRO upon petition of Readycon and RII builders for the implementation of the first tranche of P85.00 wage increase. Article 126 of the Labor code prohibits such a TRO. No worries for the laborers
The BSP has issued statements vs such increase and its effect on inflation which their office tries to contain. This traps businessmen who are caught in the the dilemna of increasing costs of production and the slowdown in economic activities due to war in Iran, and adverse publicity on flood control scandal and the impeachment
