Callamard: PH gov't 'officially informed of my visit'
United Nations Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard has denied the claim of Palace spokesman Ernesto Abella that the Philippine government was not informed of her trip beforehand.

May 6th, 2017 12:54 PM #8924This is truly a regime of impunity.
Kapal talaga ng mukha ng du30 admin.
Kala nila lahat ng tao o institusyon ay mapopolitika nila, pati na yung mga tao o institusyon na nasa labas ng bansa tulad ng U.N.
Walang habas kung pumatay ng tao, walang habas kung magnakaw, at higit sa lahat walang habas kung magsinungaling.
Kala nila lagi nilang mauuto ang mga tao sa pamamagitan ng mga kasinungalingan nila.
16M lang nauto at nauuto nila.
PWEH.

President Duterte should “man-up” and put himself where his mouth has. Lopez is ready to take a technical demotion for a strategic position.
The question is: Is the President up to the challenge and is he going to walk his talk?

"President Duterte was the mayor of Davao. He said he cleaned up Davao, and yet there were 9,000 people who surrendered from Davao when the campaign started," Tanguay said.
"How can he expect to clean up the whole country if in 27 years? He wasn't even successful in cleaning up his own city," he said.

May 7th, 2017 11:10 AM #8929This could be us......scary indeed.
Long-mounting rage against Mr. Maduro’s government exploded this past week when he called for a new Constitution, widely seen as the latest in a series of a power grabs. Demonstrators have overwhelmed city streets, so far undeterred by a police crackdown in which hundreds have been arrested and dozens killed.
The violence deepens a months long crisis marked by food shortages, economic collapse and Mr. Maduro’s fumbling attempts to consolidate authority. In quasi-democratic systems like Venezuela’s, such pressures have often led elites to force a change, and have provided them an excuse to do so.

I remember i had a discussion with a group of friends (anti and pro du30)
They're mostly business people
I cited venezuela as an example of populism gone wrong
Populist leaders will blame businesses when there are food shortages (hoarding daw)
But it's the government's fault in the first place
In response to high inflation the govt imposes price controls
So businesses stop importing coz they'll be losing money
Which results in shortages
The govt then goes after businessmen to appease the masses
But that doesn't solve the shortage problem
I told them du30 is a populist
His populist policies (end contractualization, tax exemptions for low income earners, raising taxes elswhere, etc) could cause high inflation
So in reaction, the govt will act like any populist govt -- impose price controls
Which will cause shortages and even higher inflation (and of course widespread anger among the masses)
The govt will then go after businessmen to appease the masses
My friends just stared at me
