Rwanda, the 3rd least corrupt country in Africa.

Philippines drops to 111th spot from 105th place in 2016 in corruption index

Sub African score natin.  We belong to 2/3 of the worlds score ie that most countries are corrupt

The President of the Country in the State of Nation Address mentioned again the relentless pursuit vs corruption.  Personally at the LGU level where we do business, getting permit is a formidable task and grease money is big time.   It has not improved over the years

Compare that with Rwanda which is 48th least corrupt in the world, 3rd in Africa. It has moved up two notches since 2016.  First in Africa is Seychelles (ranked 34th in the world) and second is Seychelles (36th in the world)  Tied in third place is Cape Verde.... How do they do it? Simplifying processes (we are doing this) automating this as in payment of fines.... However, our employees here have a way of sabotaging the system so that we go back to the manual corrupt system

Compare that with the ranking of the Philippines which 111th among 180 countries.  The ranking is one of the lowest in years.  In 2016, Philippines rank was 105th.  It dived 35 points in 2017!!!! Hu hu hu hu  Sabagay, iyan ang totoo.  Wala na tayong mgagawa? Sayang dada ng Pangulo

Corruption Perception Index gives ranking of 0 to 100 score with 0 least corrupt and those near 100 more  corrupt. 2/3 of the world score less than 50 (meaning many countries are corrupt).  Those who rank high are New Zealand with score of 89 and Denmark 88.  The least are Syria 14 South Sudan `12 and Somalia (the land of the Pirates)   Those with poor peace and order score low on corruption index.

Is Philippine govt really serious in combating corruption?   What is our goal? Cant we be like Rwanda?  Sino mas advanced at mas magaling ang gobyerno?  Di ba mas magaling tayo at mas asensado?

Will it be Duterte Marcos tandem in 2016

From Philstar - Duterte and Marcos in 2016?

Could the prediction that Digong and Bongbong Marcos come out to be our top leaders this coming May election.  First humuhugong and ONG sa mga nickname nila.  And secondly they are coming out strong on the latest surveys.

Talk about the anti Digong and Bong bong.  Where ever Digong goes, the number of followers and apostles increases.  It all started with  CDO debate. The masses, the netizens were for Digong. The editors, the elite were for Mar Roxas.

About Bongbong.  While the victims of the Marcos martial law are campaigning very hard vs the young Marcos, we must understand we live in a different times.  The mass of the voters are young and would not know what martial law all about.  And the young Marcos is gaining points with the young audience.   The young Marcos has also matured a lot as a leader.  He will be definitely be supported by the vote rich Region I, and by the Romualdez in Eastern Visayas.   If Duterte supports him in Mindanao and the rest of Visayas, then it is a matter of fighting it out at Region III and IV.
Sen Maceda had also have something to say about politics.   The electorate has such a short memory. See how Manong was even elected even if there were Maleta issues against him and so with JPE.  The architect of Martial Law made it to the inner sanctum of all the adminiistration  Cory Aquinok FVR, GMA and even PNOY.  See nakapasok sa gobyerno eh talagang berdugo iyan, executor ng Martial Law.   Kung may kalupitan sa Martial Law ang dapat managot ang mga sub altern. Eh lalo na si Bongbong, di niya ginawa ni FM at JPE.

We are sorry that there were victims of martial law, but we must recognize the reality of politics

Why the economic crash of US is coming? Are the signs clear?  The falling stock and oil prices?
Even Russia and KSA are feeling the pinch. They are making money at $80.00/per barrel.  Now Brent Crude is selling below $30.00

Then there is the China contagion dragging the world market down.

Is the prediction of Feb 2016 as the timeline for another US collapse?

The alleged cussing of the Pope by Rodrigo Duterte taken out of context

The alleged cursing of the Pope by Presidential Candidate Rodrigo Duterte was alleged to be taken out of context. The issue at hand was the traffic when the Pope arrived.  The PDP Laban did not take care of the media well.

Ganito context nuon.  I was there when he said it. He was in a humorous mood when mentioning the vulgarities. (nagtatawanan kami noon) when the issue of the traffic which is related to the airport came out.  He just mentioned the vulgarity as part of the sentence and not to curse the Pope himself.
 He mentioned that if we only have more airports, the planes could land elsewhere when a VIP arrives. And since we only have one, the arrival of the Pope became

 the reason for the heavy traffic. Yung lang yun. No real intent to disrespect.
We cannot just change his way of delivering his message, which was a product of many decades of fighting an evil culture in his hometown. He may have his flaws but i think he can deliver the what i call "culture change" that we need. This presidential elections, is now a classic case of "choosing the lesser evil who has a genuine heart for the people."
