Protest rally turn ugly in front of Congress; angrier calls for attacks at houses of Congressmen

It is more fun criticizing

Is this going to be the PHL version of protests in Nepal and Indonesia.  They were less serious than the  corruption in PHL

 
,Protest Rally in front of Congress

Indonesia massive protest vs lawmakers allowances; will this happen in the PHL amidst the massive alleged corruption on DPWH flood control projects?

It is more fun criticizing

The protests in Indonesia over increase of allowances of lawmakers sparked awesome destruction and trouble.   Will this happen in PHL amidst much greater amount of money alleged to have been stolen and the profligacy being posted by the nepos.?  This post thinks what happened in PHL is more outrageous   

Where were our activists when legislators in the PHL voted unto themselves huge emoluments    The flood control anomalies, budget insertions and ghost projects have to stop  And the perpetrators jailed.   Will that happen.   The heavens took the first step by dumping huge amount of rain at the HQ of the manggagatas...

Indonesia moves capital to Nusantara in Borneo because it is sinking; shouldn't Manila too?

It is more fun criticizing

Indonesia has begun constructing new capital city to Nusantara in Borneo because it is sinking    The over use of ground water (no place for reservoir) and climate change has subjected Jakarta the current capital city to sinking.

Should not Philippines think of same move.  Most of Manila is below the sea level, it is too subject to climate change (just recall the recent flood) and the numerous reclamation project that is pushing more seawater elsewhere.

Indonesia capital to be relocated; Jakarta is sinking due to ground water depletion and rising sea level

It is more fun criticizing

The capital is to be moved to Borneo.  

The water system is to be improved as there is salt water intrusion.   Most of Jakarta water comes from wells because of lack of reservoir

Could this be the same situation for Manila?

Philippines is not poor.  Five years ago, ADB has removed the Philippines from the list of LDC (Less Developed Country) and is no longer eligible for aid/donation.  Loans yes and other assistance

As  per Wiki, Philippines is

    34th largest economy in the world

    3rd largest economy in ASEAN (after Indonesia and Thailand)

    6th in Southeast Asia after Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.   (We could be richer had  we not relinquished claim to Sabah, part of Sultanate of Sulu (thanks to some traitors who sold RP out to Malaysia)

    That is a good note we have to remember about the wealth of the Philippines

    GDP of Philippines as of 2016 is $2,951.07 vs  $5,907.91 of Thailand and fast rising Vietnam $2,185.69
