Nice list keep it up.

Boss Thanks. Thanks din sa PM aka reminder

Saw parts of SONA. Duterte definitely has leadership. We may have differences (HR, China) But i rly want him to succeed, move PHL forward.

What to be expected this august:

1. EO FOI to be tested. Lets see what will happen to the request of Belgica.
2. Complain Hotline 8888
3. Emergency Hotline 911. Downside may charge ang globe ng 5 pesos. Advantage lang nito ay mababawasan ang prank call. Pero pwede naman instant block sa numbers ng prank callers. Expected na ang reklamo sa 5 peso charge. Sana maaddress ito. Pero mas gusto kong imeasure sa performance ng 911. E ano ngayon kung may bayad kung within 30 minutes makarespond agad. Performance ang magandang measurement ng success nito.
4. FVR going to china. Hope may peaceful resolution
5. continued anti illegal drugs campaign. More drug pushers to surrender, to be jailed or to be killed if lumaban. Yung mga karton vigilante killings di yan kagagawan ng gobyerno. Pero hindi ibig sabihin hindi na sosolusyunan. Dapat maaddress din ito lalo na may mga napatay na diumano mga inosente talaga.
6. Emergency Power to be granted to Duterte to solve traffic in Metro Manila.
7. Tignan natin kung mabipigay na ang car plates as promised sa SONA pero tinging ko matagal pa to.
8. Yung incremental increase sa sweldo ng army, tignan natin kung masimulan na.
9. Tuloy tuloy na pagsasaayos ng MRT at NAIA

I notice ang dami kumakastigo ngayon aa TGP at kay Deakin for posting the wrong man/car. LOL! Talk about irony.

[Anak ng Pusa]

It's good to be back. Wala bang welcome? Anyone? BTW, sana marami pang buhay na andito. Huwag na kayo mag drugs mga kapatid. Bilang na oras nyo.

Pag durugista lang daw puwede guilty until proven innocent.

Pag durugista lang daw puwede guilty until proven innocent.

Exactly what's happening nowadays. With his announcement for people to kill drug pushers, rampant na tuloy ang summary executions. Maski di ka pusher, pag may kagalit ka sa barangay mo, pwede kang patayin at lagyan ng karatulang pusher ka. Take the case of that college girl who was killed yesterday. Mistaken identity daw.

My favorite part.

But my favorite serious part is his stance on Mindanao... to redress historical injustices, but still recognize the modern reality, that Mindanao is no longer purely Muslim territory.

-

Still don't like how he's downplaying the issues with the drug war, and how he's taking potshots at the CHR.

Still don't understand how so many people don't know that the CHR is specifically there to protect people from the GOVERNMENT.

Ergo: "Bakit di niyo pinoprotekta ang mga biktima sa mga kriminal"

Mga gago. That's what the POLICE are for. Kumbaga, check and balance ng police and military ang CHR.

-

I do like that he wasn't afraid to take sly potshots at certain people over the non-passage of the BBL and the delaying of the RHBill IRR (helloooo... Tito Sottoooooo). And I like much of what he said.

-

That said, he has a very socialist stance on the economy... which is all well and good, but where does he plan to get the money? Especially if he wants to lower taxes?

like all good socialists, the printing press is their best friend - refer to 2004-present venezuela.

on military modernization, I kind of agree with his assessment that fighter aircraft aren't very cost effective for what you expect them to do.

empirically, the most effective way to project borders and create area denial is through SAM batteries. it pretty much renders having an air force or not irrelevant in terms of defensive capability.

one recent example is the S-300PMU2 deployment in Syria. Syrians have 3rd rate airforce in the region. Turkey always bullies and violates their airspace. All of that changed when you put in SAMs with at least 250km range. You turn the freaking area into a no-fly zone. Pilots and politicians sh!t their pants at the prospect of being blown out of the sky without even having the chance to retaliate due to the incredible range disparity. It's basically the agincourt longbow of the 21st century. And that's with only two of those...

It also counters the heavy reliance of Chinese vessels in missile based armaments.

And SAMs are cheaper to purchase and operate 24/7. Just park and wait for targets.

^that assumes that everyone flying into the airspace is hostile. What if its just an airliner experiencing instument malfunctions? Or one of your own just taking a direct route? The fighters are there to eyeball and ID the target before letting loose.

We still need air patrols, yes, but having a defensive ring around the country is probably more cost-effective.

I would simply repeal all barriers to gun ownership and equip every household with an AK47 and five hundred rounds of ammunition and a gun-mounted camera.

Pardon anybody who shoots anybody stealing/snatching or pointing a gun at another anybody.

Should cure our crime and population problem really, really quickly. And leave us with a force of blood-crazed internet trolls ready to kick foreign arse.

These people seem to think they are immune from becoming drug suspects. As it stands now, if a cop gets into an argument with you, he could just shoot you and drop a sachet of shabu and a pistol on your body. If the suspect from the Hyundai Eon - bicycle incident were a cop, we'd probably see the news as just another drug related summary execution neatly gift wrapped as a suspect na "nanlaban".

As for the proposed massive increased spending and decrease in government revenue via reduced income taxes, the idea of increasing vat, fuel excise tax and/or taking away business tax exemptions has been floated around. All of which will put positive pressure on inflation. Businesses will simply add on these costs to the consumer. If I were a socialist I'd simply concentrate on lowering the prices of basic goods and basic healthcare. And maybe increase budget for the housing authority. That would really help the poor. Increasing wages seems anti-investor, anti-business and inflationary. What good is your income tax relief if all the prices will go up anyway?

Taking away business tax exemptions will be sure to please some of the left, who want the multinationals out.

I've always found it hilarious, given that our own local businessmen outsource so much of their production to China, that they believe making locally owned businesses a priority will solve anything.

The Thai model proves that proper exemptions and tax-incentives for businesses is the way forward if you really want an industry-based economy.

If anything, they should be reviewing the extraneous costs of businesses... red tape... the cost of power generation due to fast-tracked PPPs from the Ramos era... to encourage more businesses to set up here.

Digong's socialist stance, focusing on industry for blue-collar / semi-skilled labor over service-oriented / OFW / BPO / College-graduate jobs might appeal to the masses... but I wonder if there is any progress in looking back at an economic model that's too rooted in the past... I think it's better to look at new industries in which we can become a player... not old ones (steel, for example) where we can only become a bit player in an oversaturated market where other countries have massive overcapacitiy and an already built-in advantage over us.

Ika-nga, play to your strengths. People complain about the Noy-Mar economy not "trickling-down"... the jobs were there... what was needed was for the people to retrain for those jobs and chase them down. Opening up jobs in industries where there are none... well... we gotta ask ourselves... why aren't those industries viable in the first place?

i know this is off topic in this thread but I would like to add my thoughts on this issue. i think the issue in the west Philippine sea with China far out-weights most of our national issue. this has the tendency to cause world war 3 if not handled carefully. i prefer that we as Pinoys must calm down.

we need to practice caution in letting our feelings out in social media. not because we are afraid of them but mainly to stop the escalation of tension between our country & China.

this is mainly my suspicion on why things are so messy in the world right now, ISIS inspired attacks, war on Syria, etc. the country which may very well be the instigator for all these issues is the one who tries to be the friendly face of peace, USA.

on that note, I think the US is trying to push buttons in the hope of a possible military encounter with China. and the country that will stand to lose the most, the Philippines.

Digong's socialist stance, focusing on industry for blue-collar / semi-skilled labor over service-oriented / OFW / BPO / College-graduate jobs might appeal to the masses... but I wonder if there is any progress in looking back at an economic model that's too rooted in the past...

this is area where i don't agree with Digong. I don't like the idea of industrialization as the main focus. yes i acknowledge that there is a need for industrialization but the area where I think we need to have more focus on is in the technology industry. robotics, software engineering & programming need to be the primary focus & be promoted to attract big IT companies or better yet, a local company exporting our IT services to the world.

the reliance on technology will only keep growing & growing as more advanced technological breakthroughs are on the rise.

[badkuk]

Regarding the missile defense thing: yes the maintenance costs would be lower vs jets, but these are fixed assets on the ground. Do we have the capability to defend them? And if they do manage to overrun a base where these missile launchers are, can they commandeer then and shoot it at passenger aircraft, or shoot it at our Chinese friends and start WW3?

Re industrialization: the odds are stacked against us: high electricity costs, high capital investment, foreign competition, fluctuating/rock bottom commodity prices, etc. i don't think magagawa yan in 6 years.

They predict that BPO will become passe in 10 years; the profit margins will be too low, and most functions will be taken over by automated systems/AI. KPO will be the next wave -- in any case, most of the investments have already been made(office space, internet connections, business links, etc) We can start working on this right now, if only to make sure most of the BPO guys will still have a job once the machines take over.

[shearts]

on the subject of high electricity costs, renewable & sustainable energy comes up to my mind. here are 2 videos which i think our country will benefit the most since we pretty much live beside the Pacific ocean.

Kinetic Wave Power Station

&

Kinetic Energy Harvesting Machines

on a different topic, here's one suggestion for us during times of floods in the city.

Amphibious Motorcycle

A tidal turbine system would be more durable, I think. The problem with kinetic wave harvesting has always been questions about the durability of the hardware, since the motion is more erratic than with simple turbine systems.

Dito na gagawin ang next Miss U!

That's just it. I remember sometime ago in the US, blue collar workers were asking for was it $20/hr to flip burgers? This in a country that has embraced automation in their factories. They should be writers instead. "How to lose your job to a robot for dummies" would be a best seller.

You just can't force a low paying job to become a high paying one. It would just export itself to another country. What you can do is make basic goods like food, water, shelter, basic education and basic healthcare affordable for the masses so they can live a decent life with a good chance of making themselves or their next generation better.

[dreamur]

K+12 is the right direction. But it would take a couple of years before we can see the results. Not to worry though. BPO will introduce millions of job in the next 2 to 3 years. Unemployment will continue to slow down.
