DoF is proposing a 5 peso/kilo tax on sugar; not sure if it applies to manufacturers only, or even the masa.
5 pesos is far too greedy. All health issues aside, sugar is still a basic need.

The current admin is also planning to tax diesel. This can have an inflationary effect -- virtually everything gets transported using diesel vehicles, and most of that diesel gets burned up while being stuck in traffic.
We also have several power plants that burn diesel.
Can we expect a biodiesel revival?
Most likely, they'll just lump the tax on gasoline, since only rich people use gasoline![]()

Good call, niky.
The original post came from Peter Lavina, now the Deputy Cabinet Secretary in Malacañang. He's the guy who also coined the term "presstitute" that Mocha is using.
These assholes are now using our taxpayers money under the OP's billions in budget to spew BS nationwide thru trolling and memes.
Gordon to CHR: Why the silence on riding-in-tandem killings?
Politicians will be politician.“…Sinasabi natin unexplained killings, let me ask the Commission on Human Rights, ilan ba ang napatay na mga riding in tandem dito sa bansa natin (We’re saying unexplained killings, let me ask the Commission on Human Rights, how many were killed by those riding in tandem in our country)? How come I don’t hear any noise that has been going on for the last 10 years?” the senator asked in a statement.
“People riding in tandem shooting people down and we just keep quiet,” he said.
I'm pretty sure Dick knows the function of CHR but since PGong attacked CHR and laid out the propaganda against them so onto the bandwagon.
First official trip abroad ng presidente. Hope maging fruitful.
Asean leaders await Duterte
PRESIDENT Duterte’s first foreign trip next month would surely be a big political and media event, Malacañang said on Sunday.
This early, several leaders from neighboring countries have expressed eagerness to meet with Mr. Duterte during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) meeting in Vientiane, Laos, according to Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar.
“We all know President Duterte is the most talked-about leader in Asean and around the world,” Andanar told government-owned dzRB radio.
Media mob
“We expect the international media companies to mob the President in Laos to talk to him,” he added.
Mr. Duterte’s weeklong trip would be his first abroad since winning the May 9 elections. He had previously said he would avoid frequent overseas travelduring his six-year term due to his advanced age.
The 71-year-old Chief Executive will fly to Brunei for a working visit on Sept. 4-5 before heading to the Asean summit in Laos on Sept. 6-8.
Mr. Duterte will then go to Indonesia for atwo-day working visit on Sept. 8-9.
In an earlier interview, the President said he wanted to personally thank the royal government of Brunei for providing employment to thousands of Filipinos. Marlon Ramos

The Truth Behind The Extrajudicial Killings In The Philippines
08/28/2016 09:12 pm
Over the last 100 or so days since the inauguration of Rodrigo Duterte, I have watched in silence as countless media outlets across the world have portrayed the president of the Philippines as a reckless loose cannon who is enabling human rights violations and in broad strokes painting a very scary picture for a nation I hold dear. After several conversations with confused and misinformed American friends, I feel the strong need to explain some very apparent truths that most Filipinos understand that the rest of the world seems to miss out on.
TCFDaily.com
Rally outside the Philippine Embassy in New York calling for justice on the victims of the supposed extrajudicial killings.
On May 9, 2016 President Duterte won a resounding victory over multiple candidates that represented different elements of the establishment, defeating the next closest candidate by more than 6.6 Million votes. He did this with a very untraditional platform and an abject refusal to fit the mold. In the broadcast debates that preceded the election he was very outspoken in his abject desire for change in the nation.
He promised to eliminate corruption and crime and repeatedly asked drug users and pushers alike to “surrender or it will be bloody”.
This was a reality check for those who didn’t understand what the path for change would require. He was calling out the fact that when he came into office he was going to ensure prosecution of crime and enable the police to actually police the nation. The long standing system of graft and corruption that allowed high level criminals to thrive was going to be in the cross hairs and he has held true to this. He has pushed a high operational tempo to attack crime and stood behind the police 100% so long as their efforts were in pursuit of justice.

Brgy. Mayamot Captain Pablo T. Oldan (right in pink) give his messages to all the illegal drugs users and pushers during the mass surrender of illegal drug users and pusher in support to Pres. Duterte war against on illegal drugs at the cover court of Brgy. Mayamot, Antipolo City in cooperation by Antipolo City Philippine National Police (PNP) PCP One Commander Senior Inspector Reynaldo Panebe Jr. (left).
He repeatedly stated, do your job and do not try to kill anyone, but if they violently resist and you are in peril, shoot.
The outcome of this has been 1,700 criminals killed during arrest efforts and a shock to the Philippine system. A shock that has led 700,000 others to surrender and seek treatment or counselling and exit the previously vast drug enterprise. While that 1,700 number seems staggering I am absolutely certain it is small in comparison to families saved from destruction, or the impact to communities that will recover as a result of gaining back productive citizens.
The 700,000; that is the story for us. We are a people that believe in redemption and the massive number of citizens seeking help lines up to a culture with a deep expectation of “bayanihan”. The term bayanihan refers to the spirit of communal unity and cooperation to achieve a particular goal; and on this journey to redemption we realize it is going to take all of us to save our country.
Aside from the War on Drugs, there have been other amazing gains that have flew under the radar.
TCFDaily.com
The 24-hour hotline for emergency response and citizen complaints launched nationwide, Monday, August 1, 2016.
For the first time in history the Philippines has a national 911 system in place on par with the United States. Previously, police numbers were varied and directed to local organizations with little oversight or guarantee on response. Having this in place has given people a peace of mind a real national solution to support the efforts to stabilize the nation and reduce corruption.
Aside from crime, he implemented a general 888 number for complaints and feedback on government offices. Duterte committed to eliminating corruption and after 100 days of giving former presidential political appointees time to clean house and right the ship, he took drastic action and fired all department heads. Their second in charge will operate in their place for the interim or until a new appointee can be found who will act on the peoples’ expectations. This further demonstrates the level of significant deviation from former administrations who were essentially status quo in approach.
Another huge effort and undertaking is unfolding through construction projects and infrastructure development planned through the rest of the year and across 2017. These projects will bring in the first high speed rail lines with backers from China and Japan and improve transportation options while creating thousands of jobs. Alternate provincial cities are being targeted for development as well in an effort to draw work out of Manila and Cebu and ease the traffic and congestion.
There are a lot of other moving pieces that have contributed to a 91% trust rating nationally. Filipinos are a proud people and majority of them are thankful for a leader who stands up and has shown backbone as well as a planned and transparent path towards a better future.
The Philippines is tagged as a developing nation, but I am certain he can be the driving force of socio and economic change.

I understand that most of the western media sees a body count and runs with the “if it bleeds it leads” mentality, but we see a moment in history where our nation has a chance to purge the corruption that evolved and rooted over the last decades through a leader who unequivocally refuses to compromise and on so many levels represents the humility, dreams, and aspirations of the common people.

if the moderator think that I need to be banned, so be it. Afterall this forum is under their supervision. But to tell everyone that Im a paid troll is an outright lie without proof. Hope anyone who accuse me should prove it.
oo nga ano pa nga ba ma-prove kung paid troll?

that's terrible!
do they know how the food around us will taste if there were no sugar? or how much more expensive these foods would be, because of that proposed tax?
just because the food does not taste sweet, does not mean there is no sugar somewhere in its manufacture.
and, it might just backfire. if artificial sugars get to be cheaper than natural sugar, the sugar industry might just collapse because of lack of demand.
Funny that those who are supposedly for "innocent until proven guilty" (EJK?) readily label me as paid even without PROOF. Hypocrites. Thanks for the PM though. Contributing to this thread is subjective, I wont beg. Ban me if you want. Your forum, your rules. If you want a one sided anti-duterte thread, then youll have it.
Why not? We've already screwed the tobacco growers... why not screw the sugar growers, too? :twak2"
Trial by allegation sucks, doesn't it?
Every time I respond to news on FB, I'm immediately branded as a "fake account yellowtard"... which I find immensely hilarious, since I didn't support PNoy during the election, and didn't really care greatly whether Mar won or not.
-
Still... nobody's banning you. Go ahead and do what you want. All the rest of us are asking is that you respond to the negative news and issues, instead of just issuing press releases.
Forum 'to. Hindi presscon.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
Whatever you do dont respond to any public news sa FB. It is essy to search your history at when the time comes, it can incriminate you.
Dapat emoji lang, i suggest you all delete all your comments since nag-start kayo sa FB, and while you're at it clean up your page as well.

You signed up on April 27, 2016, in the heat of the election campaign season. You have posted exclusively in this Duterte thread, with nothing but pro-Duterte content, most of which are just copy pasted articles. Considering this is a car forum, the timing of your entry to Tsikot and the kind of posts that you have made are questionable. In your four months in Tsikot, you have not added any meaningful discussion to the only thread that you participated in - when anyone tries to engage you in rational, logical discourse, you simply ignore and move on to your next copy-paste article.
Your behavior itself fits the description of a propagandist troll, as exposed by a propagandist troll himself. It's not your political affiliation or profession per se that has gotten you banned, it's your behavior on our forum that has not helped the community in any way.
Good riddance, commentator101.
