Digong, The President

[shadow]

Ilang taon na po ba ang war against drugs sa Davao?

Zero crimes and zero drug problems sa Davao ha.

^ Dunno about that, but there were over 1,000 drug surrenderees in Davao region in the first few days of his presidency.

Sarcastic yang post ni Shadow.

PGong's war on drug and petty crime started when he became the Mayor of the City. Yet after all those years and killing Davao still ranked #4 in crime rates and #1 in murder.

And then...

P630-K halaga ng shabu nasamsam sa Davao City

MANILA - Mahigit P634,000 halaga ng hinihinalang shabu ang nasamsam ng mga awtoridad sa bahay ng isang ginang sa Davao City Linggo ng hapon.

Ginawa umanong drug den ng suspek na si alyas "Madam," 33, ang bodega ng kanyang bahay sa Purok 19 Belosa, Barangay 76-A.

Napag-alaman ding si Madam ang pinakaunang drug suspect na inendorso ng Barangay 76-A para sumuko sa mga pulis ngayong taon.

Ayon kay Rolando Trajera, kapitan ng barangay, hindi nila inakalang babalik sa iligal na gawain ang suspek.

Do we have to point out to you the obvious OB? Id rather read a few lines of logical thoughts than several pages of BS (mostly copy & paste).

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

Peaking plants run on diesel or bunker. Thus if there is a shortage on power, rates will be affected by this (and this is the case in the Vis-Min area).

So what i gather is the admin announces something popular like cuts on income taxes (which may benefit the poor, on paper)... pero everything else will be increased? Vat? Diesel? Sugar?

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.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

*OB
I could debate you on Socialism but I am not about to present myself as an expert on the subject. Clearly the countries you and the just banned troll mentioned have some good things going for them but giving Socialism all the credit is too simplistic an analysis in my view. My negative view of Socialism comes from practical experience. If you've handled simple people like manual laborers and farmers you should know what I mean.

Poe puts emergency powers hearings on hold

“The Executive branch is in a hurry to pass the emergency powers bill, but based on our hearings, we have learned that the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) have yet to come up with concrete projects under the emergency powers bill,” Poe said in a statement.

Di kinailangan ng previous admin ang emergency power para sa mga infra projects that will ease the congestion in some areas. Take NAIA Expressway as an example.

Yet here we are now with the new Admin with all the bravado but have nothing to show for.

Epic fail! and yet he promised 3 to 6 months Parang obsession na ang dating eh! hehe!

Accentuate the positive... deadma the negative. Or simply dead it.

Like the proposed FOI bill... in which the most prominent exemptions are the exact reasons people wanted the FOI bill in the first place.

Though that's not a problem limited to Digong's term. Look what happened to the RH Bill... finally got passed after bloody conflict, then Sotto in budgeting cut the legs off from right under it.

Essentially just an agreement that they will continue talking...and to release some of the prisoners.

With Duterte as President, no one can predict if he's really committed to an Agreement or baka sumpungin at makipag LQ ulit with Joma.

Well, at least my acquaintances in the left are bullishly optimistic about this.

Let's be honest, previous administrations have not been entirely honest or forthcoming about the peace process. In this case, at least, Digong is not spouting BS.

-

As for the Abus... well... the recent killings were really a predictable outcome, but they can never say he didn't give them more chances than they deserve.

I don't agree with everything Digong does, but the mere fact that he is trying to de-escalate the left-right conflict gives me hope for peace in Mindanao.

I only wish he'd apply the same thinking to the drug problem. Then again... this is Duterte, like you said, he is unpredictable.

Bakit hindi nila inuna ang EDSA at MRT? NAIA expressway is just there to benefit those at the bay. Nasaan ang hustisya?

[badkuk]

^ Once they flyovers are opened, and all those contruction sites cleaned up, that would immediately alleviate the traffic there...something that will most likely be credited to this administration.

imho, they don't need emergency powers to implement strict traffic enforcement -- start with that muna.

I hope that's a sarcastic post.

NAIA Expressway is not the only project of the previous Admin and let's not talk about the new MRT coaches dahil na credit grab na yan ni Mocha.

Balik tayo sa context. The previous admin did not require emergency power para sa mga projects na yan and it went through proper bidding.

This Admin however is just too eager in getting the emergency power approved by the senate without any concrete plan.

Bravado will not cut it as traffic is not some drug addict that you just kill to avoid the tedious due process.

Kaya walang nagawa ang previous admin sa problema ng EDSA at MRT. Alam natin lahat na lumalala ang problema ng dalawang infra na yan.

I doubt na kayang ayusin yan ng Digong o kahit anong admin with the same usad pagong na proseso. Patapos na ang term, wala pang naipasa! Tiis tiis na lang sa 1+

[dreamur]

The underlying issue is actually the campaign promises of fixing the problems in 6 months? Now they want EP to rush everything and please the masses. If not granted, they already have a valid excuse.

The NAIA Expressway decongests ALL the major arteries area by directly connecting provincial passengers to the airport.

The MRT issue, they worked on it. In the end, the political and legal issues were difficult to untangle. Those legal issues were being worked on since PGMA's time.

EDSA is a dead end. There's no space to build more roads. There's no place to build more roads. All you can do is impose draconian traffic alleviation measures and try to convince people to stay away.

I doubt na kayang ayusin yan ng Digong o kahit anong admin with the same usad pagong na proseso. Patapos na ang term, wala pang naipasa! Tiis tiis na lang sa 1+

So give in to economic blackmail and approve projects+kickbacks just to get it done?

Mind you, Ramos did the exact same shortcutting you're asking for, and those projects still were not finished before the end of his term.

Stamp out the BS now, and it will be difficult for us in the short term, but in the long term, it will have a positive effect on development.

Give in to corruption because we can't wait, and we'll never shake the monkey off our back.

Ano pa ba ang pwedeng mong gawin sa EDSA, widen it more? Look at the congestion points at dun ka mag latag ng project. Again NAIA Expressway.

So dapat bigyan talaga ng emergency power kahit walang plano? Make up your mind.

[confused shoes]

Very small fraction of motorists to the metro is going to the airport, sir. Try the rush hour from Cavite and count vehicles turning to the airport. The more or less 1Km zipper lane (starting from the toll gate) of Cavitex is turning left. The vehicles taking the zipper lane will end up turning right to EDSA.

You will also notice that they prioritized the entry/exit to the west of the expressway to the bay (Macapagal area). If the purpose of this elevated road is to decongest the major arteries, they should have prioritized to build the ramp to Coastal road but unfortunately, not.

If EDSA and MRT is a dead end, sabihin na lang natin sa pagong huwag nang dumaan sa EDSA, but where?

The previous admin didnt really want a peace agreement with the communists as there was no need to; its a spent force present in only very few places in the country and milking mining and plantations in Mindanao.

Kung di lang pinansin ni Duterte, they will die a natural death over the following years. From a peak of 30,000 (?), they're now less than 5,000, and splintered into different factions.

I suspect the peace agreement is being pushed with the communists to clear the areas in Mindanao for more mining, plantation and agribusiness expansions.

Joma and his group is really just stringing along Duterte; but what I suspect is its the other way around. If you look at their armed struggle strategy, its the achievement of a strategic stalemate that will make the government agree to a coalition arrangement. Joma and his party are far from demanding this, given their very weak military and political hold in the country.

The best that the peace process can achieve is months of ceasefire.

See the NDFP's 12-point demand. Duterte won't agree to most of them, I bet (except 9 and 10, at best). The military and economic elite will throw him out before it happens, and he knows it.
