President-elect Rodrigo Duterte is all praises for his Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, one of the BFFs of former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo.

“Cusi is an organization man. I think he has edge in so many positions in the government. We just met five times in my life but he has the credentials to run the government,” Duterte said in a report by Mindanews.

Cusi is the vice chair of Duterte’s party, Partido Demokratikong Pilipino, and he used to be the chief executive of the Manila International Airport Authority, Philippine Ports Authority, Ninoy Aquino International Airport, and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines during the Arroyo administration.

Cusi belongs to FG Arroyo’s circle of friends in the Makati Rotary Club which includes Edgardo Manda, former Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. chair Efraim Genuino, and Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn Bolante.

Cusi was investigated in the Senate for his involvement in the alleged election cheating of then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the “Hello Garci” scandal.

In a report by the Philippine Daily Inquirer on June 15, 2006, Ashmar Lucman, president of the Lanao Unity Movement for GMA, testified that FG Arroyo and Cusi sent P1 million to his group to bribe election officers into overturning Fernando Poe Jr.’s lead over Ms. Arroyo. Cusi denied the allegation.

Incoming presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo claimed that Duterte chose Cusi because of his integrity.

A former lawyer of ex-First Gentleman Jose Miguel “Mike Arroyo” will be part of the legal team representing incoming President Rodrigo Duterte when Congress convenes in a joint session and sits as the National Board of Canvassers.

Inocencio “Toto” Ferrer, Jr., former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s erstwhile Finance Secretary, is among the legal minds tapped by incoming presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo to assist in the national canvass.

Panelo is Duterte’s lead counsel in the canvassing of votes, representing the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP).

Ferrer was last seen in the national spotlight as the lawyer of Chinese-Filipino casino junket operator Kim Wong in the Senate hearings on the US$81-million Bangladesh bank heist.

Duterte is wasting precious political capital going against the Catholic Church.

 

Now is not the time to engage in bickering with the Church on such a relatively trivial issue as family planning. There are more pressing issues such as job creation.

 

He still has to form his cabinet, he should focus on that.

Mga karagdagan "SANA", mga karagdagan aspirations at opinions.

 

Sana lahat ng libong pinatay ng Davao Death Squad ay totoong may kasalanan at karapat-dapat na mamatay. Sana isa-isa silang nilitis bago pinatay, baka kasi personal na away or ingit lang ang dahilan. Sana respetuhin ang lahat ng ating mga karapatan.

 

Sana mabawasan pa ang tax at di dadagdan. Uso kasi ng "revolutionary tax" para sa CPP-NPA sa Davao.Let us do our part and pay the right taxes para may sapat na pondo gobyerno (past, present o future man) maski ang tax dito ay pinakamalaki compared to our ASEAN neighbors. But we should never pay "revolutionary tax" to fund terrorism and crime by the CCP-NPA.

 

Sana mas palawakin ang kumpetisyon. Very good recent example - yun pinamahal na hotel sa Davao ay napakaluma na at damp smelling pa, pero ang room rate ay halos ka-presyong ng Shangri-La Hotels sa Metro Manila. Ito ay pag-aari ni close friend/adviser at favorite presscon at meeting place ngayon since nagkaroon ng political "Job Fair" sa Davao after the election.

 

Karugtong ng revolutionary tax at kumpetisyon - tama rin na dapat ayusin ng telcos ang kanila serbisyo. Tototong mabagal ang mobile data sa Pinas, ngunit dapat siguro una niya munang pagsabihan ang kanyang mga comrade sa CPP-NPA na tigilan ang pagbobomba ng cell site towers dahil sa pagtangging magbayad ng "revolutionary" tax.

 

Sana maging aware tayong lahat sa mga katotohanan at realidad kasi walang katuald ang pambobola at deception nitong nanalong presidente. No wonder he controlled Davao for nearly 30 years at napag-iwanan ito ng Manila at Cebu. Totoong mas disiplinado at polite ang mga tao sa Davao, but crime & drugs still exist, and worst sobrang napag-iwan ang Davao economically kasi halos walang competition at sa mga karagdagang expenses tulad ng "revolutionary tax".

 

But nevertheless, we should give him a chance. Let us do our part by continuing to pay the correct taxes & obeying the law. But we should also chase after his promises para di tayong magmuhkang tanga, maging mas kaawa-awa at maging mas mahirap after 6 years.

 

And of course, I hope he does his part and fulfill all his promises to all of us.

 

 

 

Since nandyan na yan, I wish him the best for the benefit of every Pinoy.

 

Sana yun ginawa niyang pag-didisiplina (at pananakot?) sa mga tao ng Davao since 1986/1987 (more or less 30 years)... sana magawa din niya sa buong Pilipinas sa loob ng 6 na taon. Sa totoo lang superficial yun sa Davao, kasi meron pa ring heinous crimes... binumbero nga lang (negative news was largely suppress). Ipagpaliban na lang natin yun pangako niyang mag-resign after 6 months if di mawala ang crime at drugs sa buong Pilipinas, Kasi impossibleng mangyari ito maski siguro magkasabay pang mamuno si Obama at Putin dito sa Piilpinas.

 

Sana rin wag matulad ang ekonomiya ng buong Pilipinas sa Lungsod ng Davao. Simply compare the economy of Manila, Cebu & Davao, sino ang bokya? Sino ang namuno ng halos 30 na taon sa Davao? Sa totoo lang mas progressive pa ang CDO sa Davao. I've been traveling to Davao (and other major cities) up to 12X a year for the over a decade. Hanggang ngayon, mabibilang mo ang high-rise, sad empty store slots, etc. sa Davao =(. Sana meron maayos na economic policies ang parating na administrasyon.

 

Sana ituloy at ipalawak ang laban against corruption. Sana ma streamline ang gobyerno at maiayos ang serbisyo (at makuha ko na ang new car plate na bayad ko na). Sana mabawi ang mga territoryo natin. Sana natapos na ang rebelyo (or organized crime) ng NPA, MILF, MNLF, etc. Sana di siya komunista/maoist at pro-China. Sana walang cronyism at nepotism.

 

Sana after 6 years, mas maging proud at dignified tayong mga Pinoy.

 

Ito po ay mga aking pasa-SANA lamang, ang aking mga aspirations at opinions lang po. Peace and good luck to all of us!

I do understand that he does need to tell these bishops na umayos sila at tama ng kabastosan nila sa sobra ng pakikialam sa mga desisyon ng estado.

 

Pero sa kabilang banda, tama ka din. Hindi naman kelangan maging masyadong siga at masyado mo sila hamunin.

 

Although wake up call na ito sa CBCP. They really should stay in theiir place and not exercise megalomania. Hindi naman kasi dapat lahat ng batas halimbawa eh ayun sa standards ng catholic doctrines.

 

Simple lang naman dapat naging resolba sa RH bill. Kung labag sa prinsipyo ng katoliko magcondom at magpills, eh di hikayatin nila mga miyembro nila na huwag ito gamitin. Ano yun mananawagan pa sila ng civil disobedience na parang tinatapakan karapatan ng tao sa batas na yan

Meanwhile, Filipino fishermen confirmed that they can now freely fish in Scarborough Shoal, a separate report on News To Go on Monday said.

One fisherman said they used to fish at night hoping to avoid the patroling Chinese coast guard, and sometimes would have to flee after they were spotted.

Ganyan talaga kasi pag sobrang sarado na mga utak ng tao.

 

Ito na aasahan ko sa iba dito, 6 years ng kakahanap lang ng marereklamo. Babatikos for the sake ng pangbabatikos

 

Buo na pasya nila na di na darating pagbabago, na gagawin lang ni Dutuerte ginawa ng ibang presidente...... Ayan ha ni hindi pa nakakapanumpa yun tao.

[azraelmd]

Dko alam kung san papunta tong bangayan ni digong with the cbcp....pero it doesnt look good sa ngayon nde pa mandin sya nauupo...wala bang PR adviser si duterte?

 

Tama sabi ni ED....tirahin nlang nya yun mga obispo mismo....

[haroots2]

Sabi naman ni Digong hanggang Jun. 29 lang ang patutsada niya sa CBCP.

[daphne loves derby]

 

 

ako, bitter? nah! matagal na ako sa poltics... i won some, i lost some... and bitterness is not in my blood..

 

just focus on the issues, not on me

 

 

 

 

 

so you are saying trapo moves muna sya para to stay in power, righT?

 

hindi naman "to stay in power" ang aim sa pagkuha ng support ng buong congress. kampanya pa lang sinasabi na. the main aim is FEDERALISM

[glut_func]

i really want to see duterte clean up the streets... kahit man lang yung mga illegal settlers and street vendors maalis nya masaya na ko

[jopoc]

 

In that case, hold those conclusions muna. Hindi pa nga nakakaupo di ba? I mean being a critic is one thing and being an antagonist is another thing. Pabayaan mo muna magtrabaho yun tao bago mo sabihin na wala syang pagbabago na maibibigay.

 

Ako kita mo naman hindi ko dinidyos tao. Ni hindi ko inaasahan na di sya sasablay. Sinong presidente ba ang hindi sumablay? Kahit nga yun pinakamatalino sumablay din.

 

 

huh? so you are saying that we just shut down this thread until june 30 when he takes over?

wala tayo pag uusapan dito since wala pa sya sa position. ganun ba yun?

 

 

my opinion for or against him is based on what he says, what his plans are, or what he does for now.

i know hindi pa sya presidente pero marami na syang sinasabi o ginagawa where i think i can give my opinion.

 

like for example.... his choice of sonny dominguez is a a double thumbs up for me..... i see a bright future for the dept of finance.

duterte's plan to get rid of drugs has my full support as long as things are done within the legal bounds.....

hindi ka pwede sabihin yun dahil wala pa sya sa posisyon?

[jopoc]

ganito rin gimik ni Pnoy before sya mag take over in 2010. dun daw sya sa times titira.... pero ending sa malacanang din dahil sa security nightmare at nabuwisit mga kapitbahay. .

 

gusto ni duterte sa hotel titira.... kawawa naman yung hotel na mapipili kung sakali.... mawawalan ng guests yun kasi maghihigpit ang PSG sa premises.

kaya ang ending malacanang din sya.

President-elect Rodrigo Duterte isn’t keen on taking over President Benigno Aquino III’s digs at Bahay Pangarap.

In a report by CNN Philippines, Duterte said he doesn’t like to live at Bahay Pangarap because of high electricity costs in the house built inside the Malacanang Park across the Pasig River from the main Palace compound.

“Wala bang hotel diyan sa malapit? Kasi para makamura ang gobyerno. Mahal ang ilaw diyan sa Pangarap,” said Duterte.

Bahay Pangarap was built by former President Manuel Quezon ‎as a retreat house. It was refurbished in the Macapagal administration and converted into a golf clubhouse under the Ramos administration. It was remodeled into a four-bedroom house for Aquino in 2010, the first president to use it as a personal residence.

Duterte has ruled out residing in Malacanang because he was spooked by the presidential portraits there when he was invited to the Guest Room by then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Duterte is leaning towards ruling the Philippines out of his home province Davao.

Is he going to close the MPs & KTVs?

Digong doesn't consider sex trade a crime but a public health issue. Yung KTVs ang maapektuhan dahil sa 1am liquor ban. Punta na lang sila ng MP or Espa after 1am.
