i wouldn't underestimate the brains behind the admin

the supporters may not be bright

many in the admin may not sound bright

but there are people with brains making plans

the not-so-brights are only soldiers following orders, implementing plans

may agenda yan

they'll prevent the return of the yellows beyond du30's term

just watch

--

it's exactly the condescending attitude of yellow supporters that make du30 supporters hate them so much

the parallels to the US/Trump are uncanny

it's the condescending attitude of US liberal elites towards rednecks that make rednecks hate liberals so much that they voted Trump into power

Dont make it personal uls. Im not even a die hard LP supporter and I did not say I am smart. I am not the one who acts like I know everything and tells people - I told you so. And then you call people condescending?

I call out a mistake when I see them and this is not about being smart or being an asshole. This is about what I feel as right or wrong, what is fair or unjust, what is democracy or tyranny.

I believe uls is being general here and not attacking you personally.

That's why he didn't quote anyone's post.

Some are over reacting.

Calm down people! Panic will cause us more harm than good.

Let us analyse things thoroughly muna before we speak.

Kalma lang! It's not YET the end of the PH.

About the rappler thing.. can anyone invest in a company with nothing in exchange but a promise of a return if it makes money...???

According to SEC, Rappler "intentionally created an elaborate scheme" to justify the receipt of over a $1 million from a foreign investor, Omidyar Network (ON). ON is an investment company owned by eBay auction site founder Pierre Omidyar.

In recounting the facts of the case, SEC said in 2013 and 2014, Rappler, Inc. received over $1 million from foreign investors. This was supposedly in exchange for a grant of control and financial returns.

The SEC also said the company formed Rappler Holdings Corporation "for the sole purpose of issuing [Philippine Depositary Receipts]."

The SEC decision declared void a PDR of one of Rappler's foreign investors, Omidyar Network, and questioned the corporate deal.

A PDR is a financial instrument that foreign entities can buy into for financial returns in a local company but not in the form of dividends which are tied to ownership.

"Because Omidyar was the later purchaser... it caused the insertion of certain provisions that assure control over other PDR holders, and also over the corporate policies of Rappler, Inc. and its alter ego Rappler Holdings Corporation," the decision read.

The SEC said while the PDR was not a stock that indicates ownership, it gives holders "certain rights derived from equity and reserved to Filipinos."

However, Rappler said PDRs do not give ownership rights, and other large companies have a similar set-up. It also clarified the investment does not affect editorial operations.

Ressa likened PDRs to betting on a horse, with no assurance of control over how the horse is run or of financial returns.

"This means our foreign investors, Omidyar Network and North Base Media, do not own Rappler. They invest, but they don't own. Rappler remains 100 percent Filipino-owned," Rappler said.
