Assuming that there are no ulterior motives involved....
The issue is not the problems...the issue is *how* they are being dealt with. imho it's unfair to punish both who are compliant and non-compliant. Pwede naman gawin yung cleanup without closure..pwede din naman yung noncompliant lang ang ipasara. Pwede din naman walang Navy Seal dun, as Boracay is not in danger of being occupied by a foreign power.
Sure dapat lang ayusin ang problema natin, but are we solving it in the best way possible?
Dali lang kasi magsalita in retrospect. Nung 1950-60's ang lakas ng exports natin sa US, maisip pa kaya ng mga economist noon yan industrialization if we are actually doing very well? The concern during that time was politics because technically we are a new nation with just about 2 decades of actual independence. As leon pointed out, we were actually doing fine then, except that FM screwed it all up. He institutionalized corruption, padreno system and cronyism. All factors that has kept our manufacturing industry lagging behind our other industries since until now, ang hirap mag-invest ng mga foreigners to help us in industries since mahal kuryente, pangit roads and infrastructure, red-tape etc.
There is no point in crying over spilled milk. The question now is how can we use our competitive advantage in having a skilled workforce out of the country to turn things around.
Ayus din yung diskarte nila PDigong na ibalik sa mga past admin yung sisi ng problema sa OFW, samantalang ang isyu naman talaga is yung kapalpakan ng action kaloka na ginawa nila.
Re Boracay, why challenge the wisdom of policy makers if we ourselves are at lost kung ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng best way possible? Look at MM, araw-araw tinatrabaho ng MMDA ang obstruction in piece meal pero dami pa ding balik sa dating ugali. Then ang focus ng sisi nasa MMDA pero kung iisipin katulad 'yan ng problema sa boracay, ang root cause ay taga doon din pero dahil nagkakabenepisyo sila kahit sinasalaula ang batas man o kalikasan ay hindi nila ramdam 'yung perwisyo. Alam lang nila na maltrato ay kapag sila na mismo ang "mapeperwisyo".
Regarding navy seals o special forces sa Boracay eh pagsasayang ba 'yan ng resources? overkill ba 'yan? ang regular soldiers at police konte lang at busy sila sa normal peace and order operation, pero mga special ops eh madalas tambay lang mga 'yan sa kampo.
If you want to make the assumption that our leaders know best, then let's agree to disagree, and i wish you good fortune as we part ways.
On my part, i believe we should always be skeptical, regradless of who we voted for...because, as history would suggest, our leaders don't always know best, and they don't always have out best interests at heart.
Afaik, special forces should always be kept at the ready in case there is an emergency: terrorist attacks, bombings, foreign incursions, you name it. Special forces are best used in offensive operations, and not used as an occupying/peacekeeping force.
Remember the SAF being deployed at NBP? Perhaps special forces isn't the solution for all situations.

Sus nagbobolahan na naman kayo. Ano gusto nyo ala noynoy boom panot na walanag pakiealam.
Yung problema sa middle-east about ofw eh decades na yan. Ilan na usap diplomatic talks. Pero tinutupad ba nila? Tinatrato ba maayos? Yung ginawa pinoy ambassador eh dapat lalng. Oras na magcovert ops kaso dapat hindi nirelease video.
According sa kilala ko mechanico sa banawe. Pag middle east daw na probinsya eh hindi na sya babalik. Wala daw malapitan pag nirape ang lalake doon.
^social media is the venue of this govt to propagate its malasakit kaso sumabog sa pagmumukha nila
malapit na daw pirmahan ang MOU with kuwaiti govt..hindi naman totoo

Malaking pagkakamali talaga na ikinalat pa 'yung video pero ang mali din ng madaming Pinoy ay nawala sa focus dahil nagwala ang kuwait pero kung iisipin ego lang 'yan ng Kuwait dahil sunod-sunod blackeye nila kay DU30 noon tapos nahanapan ngayon ng tyempo. Ang facts ay nandoon pa din na walag ginagawa ang Kuwait para palakasin ang proteksyon against abuses sa mga kasambahay na OFW. Politiko lang 'yan na nagpapaikot sa mundo, at lamang lang kuwait sa mga tulad ng Pinas dahil may mga leverages sila na wala tayo. 'Yung ambassador sa kuwait ex-ofw kung tama pagkakarinig ko sa isang newscast so more or less alam n'ya ang feeling ng abused ofw, regardless of the means 'yung issue ng pangaabuso dapat ay isaalang-alang din. Ang embahada ng mga western country, gumagawa din 'yan ng extra-judicial means sa ibang bansa lalo na kung desperado na citizen nila pero big deal ba? 'Yung sundalong kano nga na pumatay sa trans na nipick-up n'ya eh sinaklolohan ng embahada ng America in our face pero may nagawa ba tayo? Panahon dapat ito ng pagkakaisa ng same voices ng mga Pinoy to condemn abuses pero hindi eh kase nagfocus tayo sa bagsik ng Kuwait eh Ego lang naman 'yun. Chance to shine na ito ng international human rights, moralist et al, pero hina yata ng signal.
