BBM's Platform of Government

wonder if other governments also do that...

White House turns to TikTok stars to take Biden's message to a younger audience : NPR

When President Biden hosted a celebration with lawmakers on the South Lawn last month to mark the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats' signature spending package, there was an unique group of guests joining them.

More than 20 influencers — content creators with devoted followers on platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube — received special invitations.

It's part of a White House strategy to reach younger people where they are — which often is scrolling on a device.

Surely the White House staffer earning $100,000/year isn't the one personally asking influencers to do it.

Twisted genius | Inquirer Opinion

When Fumio Kishida became the first Japanese premier to address a joint session of our Congress, he wasn’t exaggerating when he said, “The relationship between Japan and the Philippines has made great strides over the past half century,” with a particular emphasis on growing defense ties. But part of the Japanese approach is to tout the benefits of increased Japanese investments. Here, however, the prospects may not be so rosy, as the Japanese prime minister surely knows and may have privately communicated to Filipino officials. At the very least, if a festering irritant isn’t resolved, it bodes ill for enticing investments, overall and not just from Japan.

Here’s the background, first brought to public attention by the retired investment banker Leo Alejandrino in his blog, “Heneral Lunacy.” In an Oct. 29 entry titled “Warning Signs,” the dramatic opening sentence was, “Our government is becoming known for not paying its bills.” According to Alejandrino, “Foreign chambers of commerce have publicly demanded the government pay them the [value-added tax] refunds owed them. One company alone has outstandings of [P3.8 billion.] Many of the companies are Japanese electronic exporters employing thousands of Filipinos and generating much-needed foreign exchange. They have threatened to pull out if the issue is not resolved. Japanese rarely speak out so the problem must be serious.”Alejandrino puts the problem in context in this way: “The foreign chambers have cited the VAT refund as a reason for international investors to avoid the Philippines when Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia are seeing massive inflows from suppliers relocating out of China. In 2022, the Philippines [foreign direct investments] dropped 22 [percent] to only $9.6 billion and have continued to fall this year.” Were you to go beyond foreign chambers of commerce and ask the natives, another part of the problem is the perception that the bureaucracy has become bolder about being greedy. But one doesn’t have to get mired in the hall of mirrors that is the perception game, you only have to look deeper into the question of why, in the first place, would government impose an (informal) policy of denying legitimate businesses refunds to which they are entitled by existing regulations?

Former president Rodrigo Duterte is baffled on how his name got dragged into supposed destabilization moves against the government.

While Duterte admitted talking with some retired generals, he denied plotting destabilization or a coup.

“What I said during our meeting, among others, was as long as there is no serious issue of corruption (there would be no coup),” Duterte said in a mix of English and Tagalog.

Jurisprudence din common knowledge na bawal i-disclose informants ng police (with exceptions), military and those in the media/journalism (R.A. No. 53, amended by RA 53 or the Shield/Sotto Law and later amended by R.A. No. 11458 to include online and broadcast journalists).
