My last piece on this and wait for the next 6 months (and hope for the best)

we have a PERFECT incoming President. He doesn't do and will never do any wrong. If he does, just research and compare to somebody else who did it before (preferably from LP) and he's absolved. And don't ever forget to post them in FB (preferably by memes) so the rest of the netizens will be fully informed and be amused and let go of it. If he does something offensive, that's nothing but a joke. Don't take that seriously. If against the law, just shut up. Everybody (specially the president) has the right.

He will do everything for us. All we need to do is wait and our lives will be better. Sit back and relax. Just continue what we used to do. Change is coming. What type of change? we'll see in 6 months (i'm not seeing something good though and i hope i am wrong)

ohhh, and don't ever miss Mocha's blog for updates. Great source of info

Digong tells 3 generals to resign.

Why the fck doesn't he just go to Crame and shoot those drug gods dead?

Oh, I almost forgot -- he only wants small time pushers and users dead.

Katie Harbath acted on the appeal of the owner of Duterte Showbiz President FB page critical to PGong.

I would like to thank Ms. Katie Harbath, facebook head manager for Global Politics and Government. She graciously acted on my case after this page was mob reported by some alien entity known as Dutertards.

I sent her a personal appeal letter detailing how the Dutertards orchestrated a mob report which aims to suppress my right for free speech and open political discourse. After the reviews were made, she told me that the page was indeed mob reported in thousands and that they would return the page.

P.S

Thank you Dutertards for doing that, you just gave me a very powerful friend, its payback time. :D

CHANGE IS coming. But apparently not in the telecommunications sector where public complaints continue to mount against the high cost of internet service, which is so bad that it ranks among the world’s slowest. Consumers had been awaiting the launch of a third telco player by diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corp. since last year. Hopes ran high when SMC chief executive Ramon Ang announced a possible joint venture with Telstra Corp. Ltd., Australia’s biggest telco.
But last week came the news: SMC sold its Vega Telecom Inc. to the PLDT-Globe duopoly for P69.1 billion. Vega is the holding company of SMC’s telco assets, including Eastern Telecoms, Liberty Telecoms, BellTel and Extelcom. PLDT and Globe’s apparent target was SMC’s valuable radio frequencies, particularly the 700 megahertz spectrum, which is capable of covering a wide area at a much lower cost.
The entry of a third telco would have resulted in real competition among the service providers, unlike the current duopoly where one firm only has to follow what the other is doing. Competition is proven to benefit consumers. Such was the case in 2003-2011 when the Gokongwei group’s Digitel launched Sun Cellular. It disrupted the market duopoly by offering unlimited 24/7 voice calls and SMS for P250 a month and lowered the cost of international calls, such that it breached the 1-million-subscriber mark after only a year of operation.

Smart and Globe filed a complaint at the National Telecommunications Commission about Sun Cellular’s alleged predatory and discriminatory pricing, but the NTC dismissed this. To finally stamp out the competition, in 2011 PLDT acquired the Gokongwei family’s Digital Telecommunications Philippines Inc. in a P74-billion swap deal. While PLDT promised the NTC that it would continue operating Sun Cellular, nobody hears anything about it anymore. For all intents and purposes, Sun Cellular is gone and the duopolistic monopoly is back.
This time around, PLDT and Globe launched a massive PR campaign seeking to get part of the coveted 700 MHz spectrum owned by SMC. They threatened a court suit in order to force a redistribution of the frequency. This was a major factor in Telstra’s decision last March to back out of the planned joint venture with SMC.
To avert potential public backlash from the deal, PLDT and Globe have promised that the newly bought assets would translate to faster mobile internet services as early as before Christmas, but they gave no assurance that prices would be lowered. Globe’s CEO was more to the point. Even with the added frequencies, he said, consumers should not expect prices to dip soon. He said mobile browsing rates here are already at par with the region and prices could go down in the near-term only if the incoming administration would assist in removing certain fees imposed by local government units, like so-called tower fees and social acceptability fees.
To soften possible regulatory action against the deal, PLDT and Globe have also promised to return some of the acquired frequencies to the government, enough for a third player to come in. But Globe’s president believes otherwise. Even as other markets need competition, he said, keeping the telecommunications sector “healthy” means that two players are enough. The Philippines, he went on, is different from other markets given its combination of huge capital spending, bureaucratic red tape in dealing with LGUs, and the need to maintain profit margins, all while consumers demand lower prices.
The public can now rely on only two possible things. One is for the incoming administration to appoint as NTC head someone who has the consumers’ welfare foremost in heart and mind. The other is for the newly minted Philippine Competition Commission to look objectively at the deal and see if consumers will truly benefit from it through improved service at a lower cost. SMC’s feasibility study has shown that it can be done.
As for PLDT and Globe, which appear to have bullied a potential third player and game-changer into giving up, we can only wait if their promise of faster mobile internet service will happen. We cannot, of course, expect it to be cheaper. The duopoly did not spend nearly P70 billion just so it can provide the public with faster internet service at a lower cost. It has to recover that investment, which cannot be done by lowering the charges for using its networks. These are hard-nosed businesses we are talking about, not NGOs.

5 dead as street executions start
Gunmen carry out Duterte-inspired killings of suspects in 3 provinces

Five men, including a lawyer, fell victims to what appear to be cases of summary execution in Iloilo, Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental from Thursday to Saturday. The killings came as President-elect Rodrigo Duterte, who told police to get drug suspects dead or alive, prepared to assume office at the end of the month.

Rotchel Navales, common-law wife of Taasan, said Taasan was on board a jeepney bound for Molo District when two armed men flagged down the vehicle and handcuffed him.
“The two said they were police and my husband has a warrant (of arrest) and they handcuffed him,” she told investigators at the Leganes police.

Navales said Taasan was involved in petty crimes and was once a drug user.
“Even though he was a thief, they should not have killed him. We have small children,” said Navales who has seven children with Taasan.

Umpisa na ang salvage, spike na ang crime rate ng pinas.

Careful kayo baka may makaaway kayong pulis sa daan, salvage ang bagsak nyo.

Ang importanteng tanong ngayon eh... May go signal na ba para sa mga corrupt politicians and government employees?

OT, but this needs to be said.

The NTC has long been suffering from regulatory capture ever since the Public Telecommunications Policy Act came about.

That law simply raises the barriers to enter the telecommunications business by requiring new entrants to put up their own local area exchange (read: landlines) in the hundreds of thousands before they can operate wireless services. The effect? It makes it too expensive (and non-profitable) to launch a separate telco service, especially when you think that a lot of households are already existing subscribers of PLDT and GLOBE.

Also, internet and other data services are considered as "value-added services" which IS NOT SUBJECT TO REGULATION or policing by the NTC. So, those who complain about internet services being so slow can't complain since the NTC doesn't have the teeth to go after the PLDT-GLOBE duopoly.


As for the Philippine Competition Commission, unless they can repeal the law creating the environment of "non-competition" in the telecoms sector, PLDT and other operators will simply say that they are compliant with what the law says.

Hindi lang pulis, even a civilian can claim you're a drug pusher, "arrest" you and shoot you by claiming self defense.

And then claim a reward from Digong.

And Digong reinforced this when his cronies forced SMC to sell to Globe and PLDT.
