Sokor stops aid/soft loans to Phl over alleged corruption

It is more fun criticizing

SK through its President has ordered a stop to SK funding of PHL projects over alleged corruption.  Japan was reported to have taken the same stance (although there is nothing specific about  their action)   Surely foreign aid even for the two major typhoons we had and earthquake emergencies will stop if there are alleged corruption.  (I have seen as a reservist how foreign aid was pilfered at warehouses of operating centers during the Pinatubo eruptions)

When will we as Christian nation have this problem stopped.  Is it because of the leadership (Its not the son sin if the father sinned.    We have to redo the statements   Guavas will always bear guavas.  Scorpions will always bite because they were made that way)

The worse thing is about the perception that foreign nations will have about our people and governance.  We may fail to reach our GDP target and dream of being an economic powerhouse.     Foreign investors will likewise avoid our country like it is plague ridden.

Incurring huge foreign and local debts to alleviate the pandemic

It is more fun criticizing

The current govt is highly criticized for incurring more trillion in debt.  Undoubtedly, the huge debt were used for the:   1.  billions in SAP   ayuda 2.  vaccines,   3.   test kits and PPE under the BAHO law.

Where must the govt stand:    1.   Support the huge funding during the pandemic  or  2. let it be for the pandemic.

The economic managers maintain that the debt is within limits

I think this govt chose to support the expenditures for the pandemic.   And we must thank the leaders for doing that.   As to whether there was graft, may be its a different matter.

What has happened to the rebuilding of Samar Leyte one year after?

Moving Forward from Interaksyon

From GMA network - rebuilding the ruins

Yesterday marked first year anniversary of the onslaught of typhoon Hainan (Yolanda) in Samar Leyte.

We lost a lot of lives, and structures.  However, the ship that was swept by the storm surge, is a silent witness to the fury of the storm, and the seeming inability to fully rehabilitate the damage stricken areas.

It is far from over.  A number still live in tents, and people are without jobs, and life is not yet normal for most.

Many are questioning the accounting of donation to the typhoon victims.  Many feel that the govt could have done more.

Do we need more help from govt, or more self help and more entrepreneurship from the victims?

Do not be a victim.   Are we always a victim.  ARe to be helped or are we here to help?
