    But it's the government's fault in the first place

    In response to high inflation the govt imposes price controls

    So businesses stop importing coz they'll be losing money

    Which results in shortages

    The govt then goes after businessmen to appease the masses

    But that doesn't solve the shortage problem

    I told them du30 is a populist

    His populist policies (end contractualization, tax exemptions for low income earners, raising taxes elswhere, etc) could cause high inflation

    So in reaction, the govt will act like any populist govt -- impose price controls

    Which will cause shortages and even higher inflation (and of course widespread anger among the masses)

    The govt will then go after businessmen to appease the masses

    My friends just stared at me

    Reality check
    Already happening.

    The proposed excise tax rules are extra punitive on the rich and the businesses owned by and servicing the rich.

    Only a matter of time...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    You mean the rich that aren't buddies with the President. 😋

    Though TBH I don't see any concrete steps taken against tax-evading and under-declaring business owners.

    Time not to declare the right income and pay the correct taxes. Hoard dollars and dispose properties while real estate prices are soaring high and finally get your passports ready. That is what the oligarchs and elites should do. Let this government wallow in debt.

    Mocha Uson to defend Duterte against misinformation in media

    In what could be further proof that change has indeed come under the Duterte administration, former bold starlet and entertainer Mocha Uson was appointed assistant communications secretary on Tuesday, and was put in charge of fighting fake news, something she had been accused of propagating on her blog.
    Joke of the day. 😂😂😂

    From the same article:

    Other critics described Uson as a purveyor of fake news in at least four instances. In one, she posted a news report praising the DSWD’s system for packing 50,000 relief goods. “That’s how much the Duterte Administration values the ordinary Filipino,” she commented. As angry netizens immediately pointed out, the news report was published on Oct. 1, 2015.

    In another blog post, Uson shared the photo of a girl who was supposedly raped and murdered, and asked rhetorically how come there was no outrage from the rights commission. It turned out the incident happened in Brazil. The post was later taken down.

    In a post about the tax evasion case of Mighty Corp., Uson cited Article 263 of the Constitution. The 1987 Constitution has only 18 articles.

    On Nov. 18 last year, when the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos was given a hero’s burial, and St. Scholastica’s College students rallied in protest, Uson claimed to have received a message from a distraught parent accusing the school of “child abuse,” for forcing her daughter to join the rally. Several parents denied the claim.

    ^ the sad thing is may utak naman iyan si mocha.

    According to doctor friends who were her contemporaries at ust college, she passed and was supposed enroll at ust med school but just opted not to in favor of a showbiz career

    I remember watching her perform at airforce 1 in one of those fhm parties in early 2000s and she was a heckuva livewire. That was way before she became too raunchy for her own good

    ^ Btw, Hi Secretary!

    In another news:


    President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday downplayed the appointment of a former lawyer of alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles in his administration, saying it had little to do with recent developments of the case.

    Lanee David, who represented Napoles in cases regarding her alleged involvement in the malversation of legislators' Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF), is currently deputy commissioner of the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

    Her husband Stephen David remains Napoles' counsel. The couple were staunch supporters of Duterte's presidential campaign and are also alumni of San Beda College.

    The goal is all of the guilty should go to jail. Including Napoles.

    More like, the admin wants to jail political enemies regardless whether they are guilty or not. (E.g. Trillanes?)

    At the same time, this admin wants to exonerate guilty-as hell- of-pork-barrel scam political allies at all costs. (E.g. Enrile?, Jinggoy?)

    And an easy way to do that and hit two birds with one stone, is to use Napoles, who does not care who she brings down or who she "acquits" as long as she herself is given a "get out of jail free" card.

    At this point, Napoles will say and do anything for the admin. Her freedom...her life...is in their hands.
