SOJ Remulla appointed as next Ombudsman replacing Martires

It is more fun criticizing

Yesterday PBBM appinted as  former SOJ Boying Remulla as the next Ombudsman replacing  Samuel Martires.

His appointment drew various reactions owinng to his past actions vs FRRD and other incidents.    And seen as not being independent of the Palace.  

What do you think will be the outcome, repurcussion of this appointment 

Post appointment:    The first act of the new Ombudsman is to run after VP Sarah, exposing the real reason for the appointment.   However the position of the VP is impeachable, meaning an impeachment must proceed before the Ombudsman can investite said office

Pres PBBM enjoins kababayan to accept "new normal"

It is more fun criticizing

One hallmark of humanity is ruling over the vagaries of nature;  it is mandated in Genesis that man shall be Gods caretaker of his creation and thus must rule over the challenges of nature.  Thus we rise inspite of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions typhoons.   Our population grew to more than 7B because we have believed in our ability to transcend rise above what nature throws in our path

So it is very disappointing that the leader of this land enjoins our kababayan to accept the new normal (it was an old normal to be viisted at least 20x by typhoons annually in the Philippines) An act of resigntion or laziness.  As leader he must find his hard and use all available resources and power in his office to lead and make this country fight the vagaries of typhoon.

At the risk of being an armchair pretenders may this post suggest:

1. Pres m ust change his mindset and do what he is supposed to lead.  Inspire us amidst these challenges

2.  Make people accountable for the flood control funds last year - almost 1/2 trillion.   Anong overwhelmed.  UK and Dutch govt were able to mitigage effects of flood.  Bgc in our very own country has flood free streets.   Even Pasig  

3.  Use our PHP budgetr wisely.

4.  Be a President.  Kung hindi sayang ang funds ng govt just to elect you. 

New White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt admireable first Press Conference

It is more fun criticizing

The first day of the youngest member of Pres. Trump was admireable if not spectacular.  She had great grasp of facts, and parried mental assaults of reporters, showing them how illogical some of them were like, Trump starting inflation when the reporter cant cite examples.   For the eggs increase in prices, she told that it was admin of Biden who ordered the destuction of 100 million birds which is now bein attributed to Trump.   

Ms. Leavitte is miles ahead of her predecessor for whom many have negative comments.

Her office is inviting some 400 non traditional media practioners to have White House beat:   bloggers, influencers etc who are non trad media.  

Surely Pres. Trump got one good Press Secretary.  MAGA

New Trump team ?

From Business Mirror - leadership struggle in HOR caused dalay in Sona

In a surprise move, 162 congressmen installed former Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as the new House Speaker replacing Davao del Norte Cong, Pantaleon Alvarez Monday afternoon, timed during Pres. Dutertes SONA.

The Palace has distanced itself and has not made any comment on the event. There are whispers that the Pres daughter the Mayor of Davao city has wielded her influence to have Alvarez ousted because the latter pissed the Pres. daughter

All ready, she is installing new house  committee members

So too are objections and furor over her election

1.  Of course the supporters of Alvarez are questioning the legality of the move. The ouster took place when the  House was not in session (Alvarez just adjourned it)  Alvarez and  Majority Leader Farinas have left the session hall to welcome Pres. Duterte.  The event caused the delay in the delivery of the Sona.  Of course, those who did it are aware of the House Rules

2. The Human rights activists are all ready threatening to make GMA to be held accountable for the Human Rights violations by the  former President

3.  So too with other parties who are wondering why SC dismissed her plunder case, which the Ombudsman Carpio said had a watertight case (the PCSO plunder)  And so with string of other cases pending before her.

4.  She might be the new Prime Minister under the new Federal Govt.

Power struggle looms as Bongbong attempts a comeback to the govt/Vice Presidency....And now here is GMA staging a comeback too..

What is happening to our country?  Prime example of culprits/offenders in govt reclaiming their stake in political landscape after there are allegations of corruption. Corruption will never decrease in our country because of this bad example from the opt

Bong2 Marcos will be the next VP? If he wins the election protest
