Senate starting to work on EPIRA law removing system loss from electric bills

It is more fun criticizing

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

Govt agencies to work together to amend EPIRA law

"Worst ever?" 2025 GAA....

It is more fun criticizing

AKAP and ballooning unprogrammed appropriation  are still a big problem, And increasing non revenue sources.  (Which involves diverting funds from GOCC)

Why did they did not listen, and railroaded the GAA?

Is Dr. Jose Rizal, whose death we remember today, established by law as a our National Hero

It is more fun criticizing

 

Philippines  December 30, 2013

From Philstar

From Inquirer - Jose Rizal joins list of Nick Joaquin's dubious heroes

From Philstar - Why Co became Mercado became Rizal
His father's surname is Mercado.  Why is he being called Dr. Jose Rizal?

"His father Francisco Engracio/ Mercado then married to Teodora Alonso) opted to use the Spanish surname Ricial (meaning greenfields) after a Gov Claveria decreed that Chinese immigrants and mestizo adopt a Spanish surname.  Due confusion, they adopted Rizal Mercado as his surnname.  Jose dropped Mercado when his brother Paciano was placed under surveillance due to his link with martyred priest Gumborza)

Today is the 117th death  anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal, whom our country venerate as our national hero.  But no Philippine law has established that fact.  Not even with an executive order.

Dr. Jose Rizal, who was executed on December 30, 1896 by Spaniards at Luneta for allegedly inciting the Filipinos has been long remembered as our national hero.  But no such law or proclamation declaring such has been passed.

Only five Philippine icons have been declared  officially as "national"

Ethos, pathos, logos

Social and political criticisms

The pronouncement that plagiarism is not a crime yet in the Phil, (or even at the highest lawmaking body) does not sit well with the principles of ethos, logos, and pathos.

The law on plagiarism is out:  but there is still the ethos and the pathos.

Does the absence of law make a wrong thing right?  Laws can also make the right things wrong.  Lawyers, is this the way you run PHL?

Come on guys, tell that to the Marines.  You guys have been fooling us... be sensible
