Many will continue to pass laws, orders, rules that are toothless

                                                       Political issue in USA -  uncontrolled number
                                                                of guns everywhere

Happy All Saints Day tomorrow.

I had a conversation this morning with someone who believe that at the barangay and homeowners association, they pass laws that are unenforceable, because there are no penalty who will enforce the provisions of the order/rule.

In my studies, a system to work, as in a law or order, it must  contain the following:

Purpose
Input,
Output
Throughput
Human Aid
Information Aid
Enviroment
Catalyst.

Incomplete laws

If the law/system is incomplete, the system/law wont work.  Sadly the law/rule makers do not consider these.  Thus for the catalyst for instance, there has to be rewards and  punishment that must be included.   If for instance:   you have the anti dog poo rule in a subdivision and there are no specifications as to penalty, who will enforce, how will the penalty be collected and managed, nothing will work.

For instance, the pedestrian lane provision in RA 4312  while being flaunted by many civil society senior citizen group is continued to be ignored by many because it is toothless, there is no penal provision, and should be deleted, because anyway, no one follows nor enforces it.

There were laws that were passed for instance like the SUC scholarships-  they have no definite funding. (A case of missing inputs)  Some say the requirements is in the order of P20 Billion.  Finance and budget people estimate this to be in the order of P100 billion.  In the case of SSS pension being raised by P2,000 a month for senior, this post estimate that indeed SSS would go bankrupt if no sources of funds/revenue are not thought of.   Now they are floating the idea of increased contribution to which the Leftist, who favor the incraese of pension now object

There  are many laws though that are enforced selectively, and or the ones concerned choose not enforce, or not every body knows the law or simply ignores the same

Death squads will continue without the passage of Death Penalty, and Justice Reforms

When I was an activist, all that was taught us was ibagsak, ibagsak destroy the system that promotes injustice and corruption.

While many Presidents and Congress have come and gone nothing has improved in those two areas:   injustice (and slow wheels of justice) and corruption will continue to be around.

For injustice, NPA had kangaroo  courts and death/assassin squads to carry out quick justice and retribution.  While Congress continue to debate on the  merits of such penalty death squads will continue to mete our quick justice too under the legal govt to do away with expensive and slow justice system, sometimes with the real perpetrators going scott free.  Our current legal practice/system is long expensive and painstaking.   Lawyers and judges make.... and hay... While the oppressed suffer.   Without the death penalty, many will take law into their hands and employ hired assassins instead.  Quicker and cheaper.

As for corruption, even if we have cabinets headed by men with integrity and guts, if the system is really corrupt (well entrenched  with old employees and allowed by CS rules -   ie the law on security of tenure and due process), and if there is a perception that there is selective anti corruption drive (eg.  if the family is perceived to be engaged in corruption, or influence peddling) then nothing much will change.  It is still trapo with just another name and slogan

No wonder the Left (and Trillanes) are criticizing and opposing the country's top leader

Unfulfilled Administration promises from Manila Times

From Inq- Unfulfilled Election promises

It seems that the enthusiasm behind the  country's top leadership has waned despite high ratings in the country's survey.  No wonder the honeymoon of the administration with the Left is over, and there is no love lost between the leadership and Sen. Sonny Trillanes.  Many are thankful that Trillanes is there because otherwise, the top leader is unstoppable in his ways.

Direction going haywire

The direction of the administration has seem to have gone haywire with many of the promises unfulfilled:  the horrendous traffic, crimes (still abound -  pinasok ng baklas rehas ang bahay namin a  mere 80 meters away from the Police Station) marami pang snatchers at non drug related killings

Integrity issues hanging

And there seem to be credibility and integrity issues hanging in the air with regards to Trillanes rift, and the members of the first family wealth, connection with the big time drug lords, the BOC connection

Errors in decision making/knowledge

The top honcho must have made some shooting from the hip, lack of consultation/nor knowledge of the system when he made the promises.  Some how he got the votes when the carrots were dangled:

       1.  Increasing doubling the salaries of soldiers

       2.  SSS pension increase.  This would break the SSS.  Now to make the SSS viable, the contributions  have to be increased and there are objections from the employers and employees

       These are possible if the tax reforms are in place.   And so with scholarship at SUC.   There are no funds yet.   Decide and think and solve the possible problems later?

      The administration seem to facing a lot of challenges in having the tax reform bill passed.

     One might surmise that the  way govt is spending money,  the  finances are in big deficit now.

     Some advance the criticsm that the way the country is being run, is as if it is Davao City

Trapo din

The current leadership is not much different from other adminstrators who give favors to parties who supported the elections campaign and funding, the kababayan and friends family members given preferences.   And who can say for sure that corruption has stopped:   at BOC, at DPWH, at BIR

And making the govt a center of Mindanao folks and even making Davao  City the center of the country

Many were  suckered in with pictures and promise of brighter tomorrow which will never come

Pikon and revengeful

Some  parties, the big media companies which draw the ire of the top honchos are allegedly soundly rebuked and subjected to harassment.  As in the case of Mile Long property of the Prieto.   Prieto owns the Inq which is critical of the leadership

Hair raising scenarios

About a revolutionary government about nationwide martial law?

The right leader, the right change for our country will not come yet as of now.

As of now, we can only pray that the current leadership can be more and do more, and rise about pettiness and traditional politics  so that he will carve out a name for himself in the Philippine history

Death squads, a part of govt security ops?

Despite the turn over of drug war to PDEA from PNP, unexplained death allegedly perpetrated by RIT (riding in tandem)  continuesWhile authorities continue to deny that such exist, even in Senate hearing, we can conclude that such exist/ is true

1.  Some istambays boast that they were allegedly recruited to be part of the RIT liquidation squad:  they are to be provided with guns and ammo, ids, mission order to liquidate someone and are to be paid say P10,000 per head for persons liquidated. They will never be apprehended because of proper ID and mission order  Well he was not recruited, kasi madaldal, but where there is smoke, there is fire.

2.  In the place where I join the morning sun worshipper, there is somebody who is paralyzed in one half of the body (hemiplegic) a victim of stroke.  He told that it was probably a punishment for his deeds in his job, ie to liquidate persons that his superiors assign him to do.  He works in a govt security force for the province. How many has he killed?  Many. He cant remember and count.

We can speculate that such death squads exist to preclude long court proceedings and even dismissal of the case (arising from faulty police work)

How he wished he was dead.  He  is suffering from his misdeeds

The price of sin is not death,, but long years of suffering from chronic or painful disease.  May the Lord forgive this man from his sin - killing fellow human beings.

We believe that those who killed more than 3,000 in the drug war, those who committed and ordered the same shall suffer the wrath from God.  No need to protest or make waves about the same

This is one sore spot in the administration. When the drug war deaths are criticized.  It is hoped that no such war is declared vs this opinion/post

Teachers Dignity Coalition rap Dep Ed over low take home pay of teachers

                                               Dep Ed Secretary Briones

                                            Underpaid teachers?  Over loaned too?

The TDC representing  some 30,000 teachers knocked on the doors of Dep Ed in Pasig City protesting the very low take home pay of teachers due to the deduction from loans taken by teachers which include GSIS and other private lenders.  The teachers are up in arms over the Dept Order No 38 which allows deduction from teachers salary of loans taken from Pag Ibig and GSIS which effectively lowers the take home pay of teachers   Teachers owe PLI and GSIS some P300 billion

Ano tactic ito for loan abrogation? Malulugi GSIS at PLIs.   What a way to express gratitude to lenders

PLIs are threatening to sue Dep Ed and the teachers if the loans are not paid (the salary deduction agreement not carried out;   The PLI will not lend unless there is an agreement to deduct from salary, with the consent /request of the borrower) .  Some concerns are raised over the mindset of teachers and financial literacy -  ie of thrift and budgeting.

The Dep Ed or school principal should have filtering devices when ever teachers apply for a loan so that the P4,000 net take home pay limit is not breached.
