Digong, The President

[Wh1stl3r]

Good article. Perhaps the only other thing that has the biggest effect on poverty aside from corruption in government.

Raises a lot of questions though. Will foreign ownership really lower the cost of basic utilities? Or will it just bring a new set of much more resource rich elites to lobby their interests? What are the other negatives?

For real estate I know foreign ownership raises property values. So much so in some places that it becomes impossible for locals to afford property in their own country.

I also question his willingness and capability to do anything about it. If the past year's performance is any indication, the result of the election seems a case of wishful thinking and misplaced confidence.

In NZ and AUS, chinese are buying properties left and right. We may end up being a chinese territory afterall. Not really a good way to improve the economy.

Lessen corruption, red-tape and improve infrastructure and lower utilities cost. Those are the major problem that we have that we really need to address.

i haven't researched it yet, but it seems Cambodia owes China money. Loans were used to finance infra projects. They may end up losing some territory right where they share a border with China. Pambayad utang.

Nothing's for free i suppose...but we should still shop around for better deals.

to free the country from the grip of the elite?

i don't know

i don't know if he can achieve it or even come close to achieving it

du30 is up against very powerful forces

So you mean the people running the country now aren't from the elite? It's just the same class with a different set of faces.

Take Duterte out of the picture - are Aguirre, Alvarez, and the rest of his bunch of lapdogs any better than De Lima, Belmonte, etc?

Oh and before we forget - the Marcoses, Enrile, Jinggoy, Binay and GMA among others are now reunited with the impunity they've enjoyed for so long. I remember everyone was calling for the ouster of these undoubtedly corrupt theives.

Suddenly, because Duterte is chummy with them, noone bats an eye. Personality politics at its finest - whether out of pride or blind fanaticism, people are standing by Duterte.

to free the country from the grip of THE ELITE FACTION THAT TOOK OVER AFTER 1986

[uchizenmaru]

I know someone who still smokes marijuana till now. I asked him kung mahirap na kumuha eversince Duterte became president. He said, nope, he can still get whenever he wants to.

It depends on the area pero dito pahirapan na sa bato kasi mas prioritize kesa sa mj. Sa bato kasi laganap ang intel kasi may pagawaan talaga unlike mj na organic kaya madali production. D talaga mawawala pero at least drastic ang pag baba. Lalo na sa tukhang na regularly they check the status ng nasa listahan at may bgy. Drug test randomly in every couple of months kaya wla kang takas kung babalik loob ka sa sistema.

Rich people will never understand how slum areas works kaya d nila kita ang changes kasi safe na safe sila sa kanilang well fenced areas.

That 'elite faction' has moved the GDP to almost 2% and the economy grew to almost 7% with a BOP surplus of $2.7B in 2015. Dont talk to me about illegal drugs because first world countries have the same problem. So far duterte has slowly reversed all the gains we have achieved in the past 10 years because of his loyalty to the marcoses.

it used to be unclear how our politics is divided

di naman by ideology

dami political parties pero pareho ang ipinaglalaban (para sa mahirap daw)

now t's become clear

we now have 2 political parties

the Aquino party

and the other party is everyone on the receiving end of the Aquino's vindictiveness

[Yatta]

this time

NOT MY WORDS

Dismantling the Post-EDSA order

"dismantle the elite faction"



"elite democracy, overconcentraction of power in NCR"

Really? If Digongs base is Visayas and Mindanao against the elites of NCR, then why this?

If you equate vindictiveness with bringing crooks to justice, albeit not all of them, then I agree with you. Or are you saying that those people are innocent?

the other political party



Erap - tinanggal, kinulong

Gloria - kinulong

Binay - siniraan nang todo

Enrile - kinulong sandali

Marcoses - we all know the story

[ClaNker]

Is it dilawan, delawan, or yellow? Oh wait may Aquino pa pala.

Demonyo yang mga delawan, aquino, imperial manila, konyo, elite, manileño. [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

malinaw na sakin ang division ng politics ng Pinas

there are 2 elite groups

1 -- mga disenteng, di halatang magnanakaw

2 -- mga halatang magnanakaw

Lesser evil number 1. At least there is subtlety.

Number 2 mga kampon ni Duterte. Mga ugaling tambay sa kanto. No shame at all. Proud pa sa pagiging immoral (such as that Alvarez)
