Siya pa nga yata ang Lead counsel sa impeachment ni Corona yata

Yes, he played a role in the Corona Impeachment as part of the prosecution.

And because he was LP in 2016, he campaigned for Mar Roxas to be President.

But his choice for VP is is lodi bongbong.

Go figure.

Only a genuine TRAPO will understand.

Yep exactly. So we have to do our part to ensure that perpetual power isn't handed to the administration. Time and time again, the percentage of voter turnout for the middle and upper classes is lower compared to the masses. Perhaps because we are less vulnerable to whichever way the government goes, but that's irresponsible use of our suffrage.

Again, it's not red vs yellow. If the LP were ruling today and pushed for charter change and no elections, I'd be just as vehemently against that as well. Kaya wag tayong magpabilog sa false dichotomies. [emoji106]

The way I see it, many of the DDS are fanatics of the president. And questioning the actions and policies of DU30 is taboo to them, they will rather make excuses and create an interpretation on their own to justify their Idol's obviously faulty actions.

Babaero, mamatay tao, bastos, ect ect = OK lang yan, idol eh.


Example:

Topic Area: China's militarization of features within our EEZ
Logical Approach: By Mandate the president should lead a protest, exhaust all LEGAL means to pressure China to follow the rule of law. Seek diplomatic and peaceful resolution of the issue.
DU30's Approach: Befriend China, allow them to do what they want, stop the protest - on the notion or imagination that war will happen and that we cannot win the war.

Analysis of DDS: Tama ito, di tayo mananalo sa CHina sa Giyera, pupulbusin mga sundalo natin. Kung gusto nyo kayo at mga dilawan ang ilagay sa frontlines, kayo maki giyera doon. Pwede naman mag share sa resources, maliit na isla lang yan, madami pa tayong nagyan, di kawalang yan.

Rebuttal to this analysis: Wala pang giyera, parang mumu, wala naman eh, pero mga ka DDS natakot na agad. We can fight China's aggression diplomatically kasi nasa diplomasya po ang alas natin - we are member of the UN, UNCLOS, member of ASEAN, has MDT with US - these facts placed us in a good position to deter Chinese armed invasion over those islets. The international community knows these, that if China goes over the line, China will pay dearly and it will cause more harm to them than to us.

Reply of DDS: Fake news, mga bopols kayo naniniwala sa rappler, change topic.

Me: Kamot na lang sa Kidney

Haha me like your analogy.

To determine the winners in a Philippine-style party-list election, the Constitution and Republic Act (RA) No. 7941 mandate at least four inviolable parameters. These are:

First, the twenty percent allocation - the combined number of all party-list congressmen shall not exceed twenty percent of the total membership of the House of Representatives, including those elected under the party list.

Second, the two percent threshold - only those parties garnering a minimum of two percent of the total valid votes cast for the party-list system are "qualified" to have a seat in the House of Representatives;

Third, the three-seat limit - each qualified party, regardless of the number of votes it actually obtained, is entitled to a maximum of three seats; that is, one "qualifying" and two additional seats.

Fourth, proportional representation - the additional seats which a qualified party is entitled to shall be computed "in proportion to their total number of votes."

Oo nga eh paulit-ulit na. Hindi tanga mga tao dito, they got the point the first few times you repeated it around 200 pages ago. In case you haven't noticed, we're now closer to the midterm elections in 2019 than the 2016 elections.

All you're rambling about is why the 16M voted for Duterte. They hate the current set of rulers, they're willing to tolerate whatever crass attitude the new set of officials have. Okay, got it, done.

Can we move on to the present and have a pragmatic discussion on the current government's performance?

Now, almost 2 years into the administration, many of the campaign promises have been empty. I won't even entertain the noise that comes out of his mouth - just the actions and their repercussions.

Instead of jetskiing to Scarborough and asserting our sovereignty, Duterte has been way too friendly with the Chinese - the inaction on the actions of China regarding Benham Rise is the latest among them. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the government is opening up the country for the Chinese in exchange for economic deals.

It would've been fine if China had a good track record with the countries it loans to. But again, it's obvious that it isn't just an economic agreement - there are always strings attached, and in this case, China basically wants the Philippines to be their bitch. And this government is very much open to that, at the expense of our sovereignty.

Instead of ending the drug problem in 6 months, the administration has instead waged a war on the poor, disregarded due process, and let the bigtime druglords escape scot-free. After over 10,000 have been killed, the drug problem is still there, and all you really have is a heightened culture of impunity among the police force.

Instead of bringing good change to the government and ridding it of corruption, this administration simply came with a new set of corrupt and self-serving thugs. The epitome would be Alvarez - his actions are akin to giving you a slap on your face, followed by, "o ano, papalag ka?"

What I think is the most dangerous move of the government right now is the unabashed and deliberate act of consolidating power and ensuring that they will remain as the ruling party for a long time. All of this is masked under the push for federalism.

The issue is not the system of government - whether it's unitary or federal, if you've got corrupt and self-serving feudal lords running the country, you still don't solve the problem. In fact, federalism will further empower the entrenched regional political dynasties, allowing them to all become Ampatuans in the future.

If the admin's plan comes to fruition (which is likely given how they bulldoze everyone who goes in their way), you basically allow the current set of officials to run the country undisturbed for at least the next 10 years, as specified in the transition guidelines being put forth.

What makes it even more problematic is that despite this bleak outlook for the country, the president still enjoys a +75 net trust rating. They are able to sustain this by employing clever machinery to continuously demonize the previous administration, implying that everything wrong with this country was the past admin's fault, and only he can save this country.

Again looking at it pragmatically, if you want to dismantle this grand plan of consolidating power into authoritarian rule under Duterte and his goons, two key things have to happen - 1) the Filipino people must not allow charter change to push through via the plebescite, and 2) the Filipino people must break the supermajority by voting senators, congressmen, and local officials that aren't lapdogs and yes-men of Duterte.

For that to happen, the majority of the Filipinos must oppose the plans set forth by the administration. One way to look at this is to remember that at its peak during the elections, only 16M voted for Duterte, which does not comprise a majority. Now with all the muck-ups of the government, it can be assumed that should it come down to a vote, less than 16M will vote affirmatively to charter change.

If we want to make a real impact and further increase the base of people opposing the government's plans, it must happen by changing the minds of those within our sphere of influence. What must be clear is that social media trolls are not part of our sphere of influence. Whether paid hacks or real but brainwashed people, you can't possibly engage in meaningful discourse with them with the end result of changing their minds.

Instead, have real conversations with the people around you - your friends, family, workers, staff, etc. The key is to not feed the divisiveness. The only way to get someone to agree with you is to first establish that you are on the same side. That side should be the side that aspires for a better future for this country for the current and future generations.

As the popular song says, "Hindi pula't dilaw ang tunay na magkalaban."

Now, if the cha-cha pushes through and the plebiscite ratifies it, and if this administration finds itself in power for the next decade, then there's not much we can do but fend for ourselves and our families. The rich, influential, and upwardly-mobile will most likely still find themselves on the top of the food chain regardless of what happens in the political sphere. It's the poor and marginalized that are more affected by what's to come.

Here's to hoping that the Philippines makes it through and actually emerges better off after all is said and done in this chapter of Philippine government.

exactly sir Jut ,

paulit ulit na lang kasi yung reasoning na Promdi vs Elite , Conyo vs Jologs , bakit di nyo kaya isipin na Filipino vs China na lang?
the unabashed display of "i dont care about you , I am the president "attitude is very worrisome,

some people who still believe that this administration has the best interest of the people is either kidding themselves or is still living in a dreamworld, or bangungot na.

wake up people and smell the stench then maybe ..... just maybe

2% of total valid votes, so if total voters were around 16m, tsikot needs at least 320k votes. Curently, tsikot has 160k members, majority of which are lurkers and might be inactive already. But with the prevalence of social media and the need for the millions of motorists to be represented in congress which I think there are still none maybe, just maybe tsikot has a good chance. Question that remains is funding...

:

the best talaga ang fanatics strategy kami para kay myPres, that means whatever you explain, or you do or you research pa, It don't matter, coz youre talking to us na sarado na ang tenga. lol. It is so liberating shutting off intellectuals wherein their only weapon is they use their mind too often.

how do you beat people who use their mind most of the time? wear their mind off, and fanaticism is a very convenient tool for that hihi

kung tuusin yan naman ang style ng admin since 2 years ago, maintain this atmosphere na puros gulo ang gulo ng sagot totoo ba to. eh hinde hanggang ngaun hooked kayo, di man lang maka-feel ng satisfaction na manalo sa argument kasi nga you are using the wrong tool, intelligence.
level with DDS, the best lalo kasi mas madali mag-wear off ang mind, kasi both intelligence and leveling to DDS level pinagsabay, ang outcome nun burn-out galit, and thats what you all are right now, walang ma-finish, wala ma-conclude, parang yun nmovie na Accountant ni Ben Affleck

OB

the US is rotting from within

Autocrats around the world are rising

The world's policeman is tired

The US no longer has the energy (figurative) to go around the world toppling governments they don't like

after being weighed down by Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya... the US is tired

They couldn't do anything about Syria

They couldn't do anything about Crimea and Ukraine

Forget about Europe

Western civilization is on the decline

And people here are hoping the West will rescue the Phils. from du30?

good luck

sun tzu lang bro uls, he who has the most powerful weapons owns the world. from jetfiighters to aircraft carriers, only the USA has a total of almost 20 aircraft carriers, while Russia has one, and China has two. the US even now has a helicopter carrier. imagine a carrier that carries apache gunships, tinde ng powers ng US

that alone can win wars if they wish too. but the US is never about winning wars, it's about objectives. They left Vietnam, the world said they lost from VietCong, then how come Vietnam right now is becoming a democratic country with so many fastfood joints from the US. They say the US Lost in the Korean War, no they didn', South Korean is within striking distance not to Nokor but to China. Think, do Russia and China have bases in South America, no, diba. There are no foreign superpower within striking distance to the US Mainland. The Cuban missile crisis and Kennedy-era made sure of that. IF China take out South Korea, they still have Japan. Japan is a fearsome fighting force, proven na yan in World War 2, when they drove off the British as well as almost annihilated the Chinese noon. eh kaya lang, sa tinde ng US weaponry na hawak ng South Korea ngaun, baka hinde na umabot pa sa Japan ang gyera. and have you seen Okinawa base, the US fleet there is so big, alam ko yan ang concern talaga ng China and Nokor.


They say the US lost Iraq, so what happened when the US Military moved out of Iraq, ISIS happened. so many faction in the middle east sniping US servicemen. here's ISIS, hindi mo malaman kung ano pinaglalaban but they almost swept the entire middle east, scorch earth style. so you think some middle easterners are wishing now that the US go back there, I certainly think so.

so I doubt if the US is tired, they are good tacticians. simple objectives, less effort and yet they are the most powerful. dont believe the news, still it's another sun tzu. American neither deny or admit that they are weak nor strong. Dyan ka dapat lalo mag-ingat. Unpredictable ika nga.

myPres is never against the US. compatible nga sila ni Trump eh. The Americans who are against PUD30 are the same liberal Americans who hate Pres. Donald Trump. are they the Republicans? I dont really know coz even some Democrats hate Trump's instincts. may faction na sa US, sooner or later these liberals will be shut off, are these American liberals the same ideology as our own LP or Liberal Party run by the yellow. I think so.

kaya nga eto mga debate nyo dito, ayaw ko na makisalo. it's just useless talking about this everyday. I only here for you uls, coz i will always help an embattled friend hihi

Ako I support DU30s policy on Kuwait. Hundreds died out there, and nothing happened. Pinoys there are working like slaves, and being raped (lalaki man o babae) at night by their employers. A lot of abuses. And very little justice. Its about time we stood up to Middle East abuses, and Kuwait is a good start. Its like sending a strong message that Pinoys there should be treated like a human being, and that we are not turning a blind eye on every abuse their people are committing against ours

There are bright spots in DU30 government, DND Sec is one, Labor Sec is another, and now this man from NEDA. DENR would have been the brightest but alas, it was shortlived.

Now about these loans - belt and road initiative of China. NBN ZTE deal was a clear example of how easy it is to employ corruption on every transaction made with China. China use state-owned companies, huge payouts to officials, and huge interest to push the lending country into default. Many other countries who deals with Chinese loans are now on default. The conditions set on default agreement heavily favors china. So all in all the loan favors one party and that is china. One sided ito government wise. But if look at the payouts, corrupt leaders and chinese government walk out with happy faces. Sila masaya lahat. Tayong tax payer, nga-nga. pati apo ng apo natin pagbabayarin sa naibulsa ng mga yan.

We get loans to china everytime we can, while rejecting conditional "financial aid" from US and EU kasi daw may mga conditions like Human rights scorecard, freedom metrics, ect.

Chinese loans are conditional din naman. 3% interest, thats the condition, no questions if out human rights standing is worse than theirs.

If look at these comparisons, you may ask the same question: Bakit gusto nila ang utang na heavily disadvantageous sa atin tapos yung mga donations na conditional ay tinatangihan (galit pa pag tumangi ha, minumura pa nila ang Nagbibigay).

Same as with chopper deal with Canada. They heard Canadian govt is reviewing the deal and asking for specific use of the choppers abay biglang cancel the deal, don tayo kukuha sa walang conditions.

Same as with US and balangiga bells. The heck galit na galit dahil yung kampana kinuha ng US nong panahon ni kopong kopong. Pero yung china isang dura na lang sa Palawan sa zambales, abay pinatuloy pa Benham Rise. Parang magnanakaw na matapos mahuling ninanakaw ang ulam sa kusina eh abay inimbita pa sa kwarto.
