    A mass transport rail system that has "affordable" fares won't earn much income to cover cost of maintenance and upgrades. The way HK MTR does it is by building mall and condominiums around the terminal stations that the company owns. They earn more from leasing those properties.

    It's a unique system, most countries subsidized their MTRs.

    Dito sa atin mga politico ang nagpapatakbo kaya palpak most of the time as their foremost intention is how it would benefit themselves. Dapat mga technocrats ang mga head of agencies. Like MMDA who's problem is more of an engineering issue than political, why is it being headed by a lawyer na walang ginawa kung hindi magtour para magawa what other countries do, yet pagdating dito, palpak din ang solution. They keep blaming all shits but never they blame their incompetence.

    Exactly my thoughts bro...

    Why are these government (utilities) operations/agencies being run like hell by lawyers???? (I have nothing against lawyers, bros).

    They should be run by engineers or technocrats who know how to run the operations and the business.

    And lawyers should just be their tools on legal issues.... Nothing more.

    Of course, the former MRT Chief, who is a Civil Engineer by training, an IT by profession and a lawyer by his final choice,- was an exception. He never made good use of the rich training/experience that he has...

    imho, government agencies should be run by managers, not by engineers, doctors, etc. per se. Of course they should have experience in the field, bu the primary role should be to manage the agency, get people who are experts in the filed to work for the agency, make sure no hanky panky takes place, etc. etc.

    Re the F-16 thing: imho what makes them deadly is is the supporting network of radar, control centers, etc that makes modern fighter planes deadly; if you don't have that then all thoes fancy avionics won't mean d_ck. Kinda like buying a 3G capable phone when your area only has 2G, its features are in effect nullified.

    I agree with you bro. But, it has to be aligned with his training, background and experience.

    Of course, he has to run it like his business, like what I said earlier...

    Pero, talamak na talaga ang mga ahensiya natin sa gobyerno,- mga abugado ang hepe... Sobra namang hawa na iyan....

    Sa gobyerno lang iyan natin nangyayari.

    Look at the other big MNCs here,- abugado ba ang President/CEO nila?

    Just fact checking Duterte. When did the PH get used F16 birds? And how did he become a defense expert overnight?

    Sa natatancha ko sa mga nangyayari ngayon kung gusto ni duterte maging presidente eh malaki chance nya manalo.

    - Damage na si binay

    - Pumapangit impression kay grace poe.

    - Mar roxas wala talaga. Kailangan nito mandaya para manalo.

    Marami pwede mangyari sa election. Eh puro positive ngayon kay duterte.

    If the man slides to the VP position,- I would still vote for him.

    Basta, a national position that has the mandate of the people,- so that he can throw his weight around/on the Kings and Queens of the regions, provinces, cities and municipalities,- who think that their kingdoms should not be touched by anyone,- just them....

    Even though i could have preferred him if ever he run for pres, then again in multiple occasions did he denied running. That being the case, why is media still running after him so much so his in the news daily? Who's interested in a mayor talking about about what he will do yet he ain't gonna do?

    Bakit ganon, parang sa mga nakakausap ko dami nag confirm tatakbo daw si Duterte. Kahit si manong uber driver, eh un sabi. Taga Manila Bulletin naman un isa ansabi eh nagmeeting na daw sila, nililigawan pa si Bongbong.

    Duterte forces smoking tourist to swallow cigarette butt

    MANILA, Philippines – A tourist literally got a taste of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s non-conventional style of law enforcement.

    A Filipino tourist was forced by the mayor to swallow the butt of the cigarette he was smoking after refusing to follow Davao City’s famed smoking ban, according to a Facebook post in a page calling for Duterte’s presidential bid.

    The post was written by former North Cotabato governor and former journalist Manny Piñol, who openly supports a presidential candidacy for Duterte.

    The tourist was in the city for the Kadayawan Festival when he dared to smoke in a restaurant one night, read the post, crediting “sources close to” Duterte for the information.

    The restaurant owner informed the tourist of the anti-smoking ordinance in the city which prohibits smoking in public places.

    The smoker allegedly asked, “On whose orders? Bakit pera ba ni Duterte and binibili ko ng sigarilyo? (Why, am I using Duterte’s money to buy a cigarette?)”

    Unfortunately for the tourist, the restaurant owner turned out to be a friend of Duterte. The owner asked the police to inform Duterte of the tourist’s transgression.

    A few minutes later, the mayor himself walked into the restaurant, prompting the shocked tourist to drop his cigarette and step on it.

    Duterte then sat beside the tourist, “pulled out a snub-nosed .38 revolver and poked it at the man’s crotch,” Piñol wrote.

    The mayor then allegedly told the smoker: “Papiliin kita: barilin ko ang bayag mo, i-preso kita, o kainin mo ang upos ng sigarilyo mo (I’ll give you these choices: I’ll shoot your balls, send you to jail, or you eat your cigarette butt).”

    To these the smoker could only muster a measly “Sorry Mayor” before picking up the cigarette butt and swallowing it, wrote Piñol.

    Dare to challenge the law?

    Before leaving the restaurant, witnesses heard Duterte tell the smoker, “Never ever challenge the law.”

    Duterte has earned adulation for his hands-on leadership style that many say helped turn Davao City into one of the safest in the country.

    But his “vigilante style” of justice and open support for killing criminals has also sparked outrage among human rights advocates and even Justice Secretary Leila de Lima.

    Surveys tag him as a popular choice for president in the lead-up to the 2016 national elections. In a May 8-18, 2015 survey done by Laylo Research Strategies, Duterte and former president Joseph Estrada were tied at 3rd place with their national rating of 10%.

    Though Duterte is yet to declare his presidential bid and although he has been sending mixed signals about his real intentions for 2016, he has been going around the country explaining his would-be platform and all-out support for federalism in the Philippines. – Pia Ranada/Rappler.com
    Gaya ng karamihan sa ating mga Pinoy,- sobrang yabang ng turistang ito.... Sobrang angas ng sagot.... “On whose orders? Bakit pera ba ni Duterte and binibili ko ng sigarilyo? (Why, am I using Duterte’s money to buy a cigarette?)”... Duwag naman pala.... Dito sa MM,- halos wala nang sumusunod sa batas na NO SMOKING in public places... Kabanas ang katigasan ng ulo ng mga mok*ng na ito...

    Dapat talaga disiplinahin tayong mga Pinoy,- para magtanda at huwag nang sumuway sa batas....

    Well, he did call out Duterte himself, so it got real personal.

    Dunno, i would've wanted to see that INC protest in Davao push through and see what the Dutertes would have done had they stepped out of line; for me, granting the permit to rally on the spot already hints at weakness.

    Bros - the journey of a million miles starts with one step.

    Just like what anyone has now,- it started with one peso...

    Again, the daily woes we see on the road today, who among the Presidentiables do you think will have the political will (and therefore the most probability) to be able to provide an acceptable solution?

    Agree. For me it's not how big or small time that person is, it is all about setting an example that law applies to all.
