A govt agency now siding with the masses averted an additional P1,000 monthly charge for consumers

It is more fun criticizing

ERC rejects joint Meralco SMC rate increase

It was reported today in TV news that a govt agency in charge of filtering application for rate increases

rejected a proposal by a DUI and two power suppliers to increase rate by as much as P1,000 per household per month.  The said govt agency rejected the petition because of 1  wrong numbers   2  inabiity of petitioners to furnish financial statements for past figures

Ilijan natural gas and Sual power plant all ready notified Meralco that it can no longer supply Meraco under the old contract

It was rumored for the said govt agency in the past, being not so focused on their mandate

1.  Had a chief pocket good 7 number windfall from a DUI for just approving a P0.05 provisional increase.  Thats a good windfall for the DIU

2.  That a large conglomerate recovered its huge investment from purchase of shares of power company

after it wrangled just a P0.40/kwh increase 

We are glad that finally the said agency is on the side of the populace

Upsurge in new Covid 19 cases in schools with approved FTF protocols

It is more fun criticizing

FTF in schools

We should be wary of the following;

1.  Number of new cases of covid 19 at 2K daily

2.  Reported covid 19 cases in schools with covid19 protocols

The authorities may have erred in allowing ftf classes and allowing optional wearing of masks in open

areas.  We could have relaxed too soon  And may regret the nth wave of covid infection

Double parking impedes the movement of fireghting and rescue vehicles

It is more fun criticizing

An acquaintance who is volunteer firefighter has complained of double parking in narrow street in a congested  neighborhood.  They were responding for assistance to quell the fire.

And or we motorists not giving way to firetrucks requesting immediate passage.   We race with them or block their ways

It is a sad plight that people concern for their own benefit has resulted in complications for the welfare of the we, the many.  Even the planning and building permits support this idea that we love chaos, out of our own volition and seek something better. 

Its time to have a sense of civic duty and do well in public works and housing (as supervised by LGU) and stop this rantings for difficulties that are of our own making

Ending ayuda and welfare dole outs as we emerge from pandemic - Diokno

It is more fun criticizing

DOF secretary Ben Diokno has wisely proposed that the ayuda so generously handed out during the pandemic be ended.  This can be seen as waste of resources.   No less that the chair of AdeMU school of economics has supported this idea.

Indeed there are so many freebies and ayudas that have been funded by borrowings.   And then we criticize the govt for doing so.   We relish on the ideas of controversy and conflict -  the Hegelian

endless conflict as way towards progress.  Chaos theory.  

And then the free rides.

Who shoulder the burden of paying this?   The hard working class and businessmen.

Tama na.  Trabaho muna tayo   

With hundreds of thousands of sacks of sugar in warehouses, is there really a shortage?

It is more fun criticizing

Thanks to the surgical fact finding by the OP we found out that there is a huge stockpile of sugar in various warehouses in the country.

What do you call this?  Isnt this hoarding?  Is this good?  Creating shortage amidst plenty.  The Universe wants us to have plenty.   God provides for all  Why are our fellowmen making things hard for the rest of the population.  They cant take this with them when they die

Do we call that hoarding, or that we are being fed with lies with regards to sugar supplies.   There must be some money being made in importation and hiding the true state of sugar supplies in the country.

It does not give a good name for businessmen who can be viewed as profiteers and feeding on the woes of others.  

It does not give justice to sugar planers and workers too

We can do better with regards to sugar supplies and prices
