Nope no discrimination here, Yung Housewife at mga anak na of legal age, pwedeng bumoto pag na meet nila yung 2nd bill which is to allow non wage earners to be tax payers by paying a minimum of a peso a day total of P365.25 per anum.

If your intention is to prevent the non-wage earners from being able to vote because they are non-tax payers, I see a problem here. For sure even those non-wage earners buy a lot or consume a lot from the market. And if you are a consumer, no matter where you get your money from, you pay VAT. And so, that already makes them taxpayers (although not as large as that of the working class).

Drastically reduce the sectors covered by the Foreign Investments Negative List, and most of all, constitutional reform by removing the 60/40 economic restriction provision against foreign ownership. To make it easier for them to come here and invest. Most of all to employ more Filipinos.

more public transportation should be implemented, we can also use the rivers.

Agree as for the rivers, yun lang di nya nadadaanan ang most parts ng maynila. but well, we can still use it.

Build a lot more trains and subways.

Madali sabihin....pero practically, napakalaking undertaking ang maglagay ng tren pati maghukay. by the time magawa yan (kung gawin man) nadagdagan na naman ng maraming sasakyan sa kalsada.

Encourage people to use public transportation through laws and expensive automobile ( ) like in Japan where even middle class folks use public transpo. Madali kasi makakuha na ng sasakyan dito sa Pinas.

You can't expect to encourage car-riding public to use public transpo with its current status - MRT is a horrible mess, both buses and jeepneys crowd and choke our highways, plus you're more likely to get late to your destination riding it. Walang incentive or any benefit sa kanila. Trapik na nga yung sasakyan nya. Para syang aalis mula sa nagbabagang apoy pero lilipat naman papuntang lava. But I agree to make it a requirement for incoming car owners to have a garage space before they have their own cars.

Case in mind: naalala ko yung napakatalinong suggestion ni Noy2 just this August lang, na ibalik daw ang odd-even coding, para mabawasan ng 50% ang mga sasakyan sa daan. Yun lang, basta daw mabawasan, di bale nang lalong magsiksikan sa MRT yung mga di makapagkotse. Di ba nya naisip na sa sobrang hirap ng public transpo that the car owners would rather get another (most likely pre-owned) car para lang makaiwas sa odd-even at sa horrible public transpo natin? Ayun manganganak lang ang dami ng sasakyan, lalo pang lalala ang trapik in the future.

My point is just barring them from using their existing vehicles will most likely won't work because they will just find another way (that the policy makers didn't expect). If the gov't want the people to take a certain path or behavior (in this case taking a public transpo) then give them incentives to it, and provide disincentives to those taking the undesired behavior (using their private cars).

Na late na kasi ang train development. Masyado concentrated on roads which benefit a few. Trains have the most effect on moving people

Bus rapid transit or BRT na lang compared to trains. Same purpose pero easier to build, requires lesser resources, simpler to maintain, etc. Proven na effective public transpo from experiences around the world. Buti pa Cebu gumagawa na sila nito.

Could the solution to EDSA traffic be removing the MRT?

 

Thanks for this. This is also what I've been advocating - BRT here in metro manila. This will serve as a very good alternative to MRT which, for most of us, is a very critical public transportation mode dito. Marami nagsa-suggest na magdagdag ng coach, ayusin ang mga tren, which shows marami ang gustong gumamit nito kundi lang palaging sira, because kung wala ito, people will be forced to take the transpo along edsa which are the hellish buses.

BRT, because it is a lot simpler than MRT, will be a lot easier to create around MM. Ang kelangan mo lang ay buses, dedicated lanes, kahit makeshift stations for now, and off you go! Di mo kelangan maghukay, maglatag ng riles, maglatag ng katakot-takot na electric lines, pati bulky trains at ang nakakabaliw na maintenance nito. All these logistics will not be needed. Mas marami kang magagawang BRT sa Manila. Sa ngayon iilan lang ang MRT lines natin (3 lang) along major arteries. With BRT we can cover more major arteries dito sa manila, and therefore more network of BRT routes. Mas maikakalat mo ngayon itong mga sumasakay ng MRT among these BRT routes rather than siksikan silang lahat sa MRT lang.

Some of you might say, the dedicated lines will be at the expense of private motorist, or public buses, etc. That's the point! You intentionally make it tougher for people to use private vehicles, and easier for them to use public transpo c/o BRT. What do you expect people to do? They will realize that BRT is more beneficial at ito ang kukunin nila! Their behavior has been altered. Kung dati mas gusto nila bili agad kotse, ngayon mas pipiliin nila mag-commute. Yun ang gusto natin, mabawasan ang sasakyan sa kalsada. In the end, para tumakbo ang ekonomiya natin, what we need to move from one place to another are not more cars, but more people. Yun ang principle behind BRT at maging carpooling.

But if we want a long-term systemic fix, we must FEDERALIZE the country.

SnR cheeseburger - what I liked here is that di sya sobrang mamantika unlike other burgers that I also like. Masarap at swak sa budget for such serving size.

nong-shim sa bahay

Propose an amendment to the Constitution kaya? Remove COA. Bilhan lang pala nang kotse from DAP, allowed na ang DAP. Remove the Ombudsman and Sandiganbayan. Sa mga kalaban lang pala mainit. Comelec din kaya? simpleng due dilligence lang nang residency ni Poe, mukang hindi pa nagawa otherwise, this issue would have been settled a long time ago. These are supposed to be Constitutional bodies so that they would be independent. But through all these years, have we really seen this?

Ako din, not really a law dahil it requires constitutional reform, more on policy - remove the 60/40 limits sa constitution with regards to foreign corporate ownership! Napakababa ng FDI natin relative to our ASEAN neighbors (who are more open to foreign investments) and consequently, napakakonti ng job opportunities dito. Hindi pa ba tayo nagtataka na yung best and brightest natin nagpupunta sa Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, China, and ngayon Vietnam, dahil madaming well-paid jobs there? Let's be practical - mapapakain tayo ng trabaho, pero yung ideological principles/bullshit ng iilan, hindi.

Tayo lang po ang may foreign ownership limits na naka-enshrine sa constitution sa ASEAN at karatig na lugar. It's really ridiculous.

Sa mga guys na tumitikhim o balak tumikhim dahil di na masaya sa sex life sa asawa, okay lang naman siguro sa inyo na tumikhim rin ng ibang lalaki ang mga esposo ninyo dahil batong-bato na rin siya sa inyo.

 

I'm a guy and I agree with this. Aba ang lagay e sila lang ang sinuswerte?

To answer the question, NO.

yung immature.

cute na aso ng kapitbahay

kelangan mong mamili sa dalawa at panindigan iyon. Hindi yung puro best of both worlds lang hanap mo. Problema yan in the long term.

No need. masaya na ako sa kambal pandesal or pan de manila.

Ok din yung cheese burger ng SnR.

No, there is no such thing as destiny. If there is, then we have no "choice", and if there is no choice, how can we be held responsible for our actions?

masarap kung masarap, pero patay ka naman sa dami ng mantika nya.

sa kaka-donut yata ako nagka-fatty liver. Kaya limit na ngayon. kung kakain man ng isa, malamang jco, malapit lang samin sa bgc.

A good book to read, a movie to watch, a video game to be played till wee hours.

Currently enjoying 50% off Big Brother's Burger after a tiring day. Ganun pa din napakasarap pa din. Salamat sa metrodeal!

sarado na din itong branch sa may puregold makati. pabagsak na ba ito?

fiber supplements can help if hirap kang makakain ng naturally high-fiber foods. Marami nyan sa Cash and Carry mezzanine.
