Talino pa ng mga komunista. Minumura na nga ni Duterte US pero "tuta ng kano" pa din sinisigaw. Gasgas na eh. Wala na bago masabi.

One of the expectations by his critics is communist yang digong na yan, lang hiya anu na nagyari ngayun peace na sana eh, another 50+ years na naman ang labanan nito.

Duterte has developed good relations with the local NPA in the Davao area. He thought he can do the same for the entire country. He was wrong. The NPA are localized bandits no longer following a strict central command. By now Duterte and his men have realized what many have known before - those oldies that call themselves the communist leaders are leaders of no one. The local NPA commanders run a business, they do it for money. They have no interest in peace.

It's like raaiiinnnnn, on your wedding day. 😄

Nope ... may iba pang issues like tanim bala, car plate, drivers license etc pero mukhang sa mrt issue siya madadale legally.

Di naman luluwag ang traffic sa EDSA kung walang tanim bala. Di din apektado ng kawalan ng plaka o plastic card na lisensya ang traffic sa EDSA.

At sa totoo lang, kahit maayos pa ang MRT na yan, di pa din luluwag ang traffic sa EDSA.

What did I miss here?

 

james cutter claimed there's someone here who has 7 alternicks. I asked if he can reveal the 7 alternicks so everyone knows who are just alternicks here. He said mod has to approve before he can reveal the 7. Baka those who seem "non-reg" dito sa PEaCE eh alternick lang pala ng isang regular poster.

I'm not asking for the identity of the person behind the handlename. Just information on which handlenames belong to the same person. For the sake of fairness.

Why the interest in the alternicks?

Just curious. Matagal na din ko sa PEaCE and it would be good for everyone to know ano mga alternicks lang dito, so we all know troll lang talaga. And it seems you know for a fact somebody has seven. So what are the seven?

The troll with seven alternicks is affected by my post above. Talagang nakaspecial mention pa yung post ko sa "Bloody Week" thread kahit nandito yung post ko. Affected na affected ang troll. I am used to the troll getting affected by my posts.

Hmm.. Interesting piece of information. Can you share ano yung seven alternicks nya?

So... hindi naman talaga "save save save"? Reducing funds in some areas and increasing funds in other areas. Not sure, pero di ba yun nga yung "budgeting". Allocating limited resources, dahil di naman unlimited pera ng pamahalaan. After Ondoy and Yolanda i would think reasonable to increase standby funds for disasters. And i don't see anything wrong with servicing foreign debts, ayan nga at tumaas pa credit rating natin kasi ok daw tayo pautangin. To address the underspent funds, ayun they resorted to DAP pero nakuryente nga lang sila dun. Solution fail eh.

At yung DAP, di yan parang cash na winithdraw at pinapamudmod ng Pangulo sa senado at kongreso in a white envelope ala GMA. Realignment ng pondo yan to a govt project. As to amount or percentage, di ko alam kung magkano total ang nadisburse through DAP to be able to conclude most sa Corona impeachment nga napunta or not. Yoko naman manghula at baka ma-fake news pa ako.

Ah para sa akin ba yung tanong na ilan major infra projects ang approved/implemented ni PNoy? Sirit na ko. Ilan?

If we assume kasi na hindi fake news ang data ng PPP Center, may 116 projects worth P1.64T ang na-approve ng NEDA Board sa panahon ni PNoy. Ayoko na lang himayin kung ilan dyan ang infra, at ayoko na lang din mag-assume kung ano ang considered as "major", kasi subject to each one's opinion ano ang pwede na ituring na "major". Kailangan ba bilyones, or ok na 100 milyon? Kasi para sa iba 1M lang malaking halaga na eh. Mapapa-away pa tayo dyan kaya wag na lang. Kung ilan ang actually implemented, ayoko na lang din himayin. Baka yung iba dyan alam naman yung sagot pero ayaw lang sabihin.

Now take note, sa mga nagbasa ng trivia ko, malalaman nyo na bago i-approve ng NEDA Board eh ina-approve muna yan ng NEDA ICC. So posible na meron na approved project ang NEDA ICC sa termino ng isang Pangulo na inaprubahan lang ng sumunod na Pangulo. Halimbawa nga nyan eh yung MRT7 na approved ng NEDA ICC ni GMA pero approved ng NEDA Board ni PNoy. At para sa mga walang karanasan sa pamahalaan, hindi madali magpalusot ng project na limpak limpak na salapi ang gugugulin kaya pinag-aaralan mabuti yan.

Pwede rin mangyari na meron na project na approved ng NEDA Board ng nakaraang Pangulo na nireview at inapprove ulit ng NEDA Board ng sumunod na Pangulo.

Kaya sirit na lang ko dun sa tanong. Masyado mahirap sagutin eh. Di pwede tanong yan sa Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader.

Napaisip din ako dun sa "save save save" term. Sinampahan ng kaso si PNoy dahil sa Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP). Nabobo na yata ako sa English kasi nasa isip ko ang ibig sabihin ng "disbursement" eh gumastos at ang "acceleration" ay bilisan. So ang translation ko sa DAP eh programa para bilisan ang pag-gastos. Di lang ako sure, pero parang kabaliktaran yata ng gastos yung save.

Binura na pala ng mods yung MRT 7 na exchanges. Pabura na lang din po ng MRT 7 related post ko kasi wala na context.

Sa mga marami nalalaman dyan, share nyo na lang as fun fact or trivia for everyone's benefit.

Yung maka-perfect score dun sa Pop Quiz questions, may prize na Very Good Star.

Wait, yung sa Driver's License, same supplier na na-TRO nung 2015 ba yung nag-produce? Such that nung na-lift yung TRO, the same supplier was able to continue production kaya nahabol yung backlog? Ganun ba nangyari?

Di naman kailangan palakihin pa yang issue na yan. If you actually had experience studying in the US, mapa-Harvard man o kahit anong top-ranked school pa yan, at the end of every school year eh yung mga graduating students pag nag-vacate ng dorms eh iniiwan mga gamit nila precisely for the use of the incoming students. It's not stealing, it's not mendicancy, it's just how it is. Kahit na may pera ka pa mag-aral sa Harvard o kung saan pa, convenient lang na pagdating mo sa dorm eh piliin mo yung mga naka-pile dun na gamit na magagamit mo. This is especially true for graduate students na karamihan galing sa ibang bansa at hindi na nila madadala lahat yan pauwi kaya iniiwan para sa mga susunod na grad students.

Once country A commits an act of aggression against country B, country B and its allies are within their sovereign rights to exercise individual and collective self-defense against country A. No UNSC resolution needed. The difference with respect to the chemical attack in Syria is that it was [allegedly] committed by the Syrian government against its own people. There was no inter-state aggression. Just like with most situations where States are faced with the situation of whether or not to exercise humanitarian intervention, the UNSC usually ends up with an impasse and some States just exercise unilateral action. Trumps 49 tomahawks in Syria is one example; NATO's actions in Kosovo is another. And even if such States exercise unilateral action, most other States support them and the vetoing countries (China or Russia) don't do anything about it afterwards. If North Korea invades South Korea, you can be sure the US will swoop in and attack North Korea. The only question there is whether China will come to North Korea's aid. States, no matter how big, avoid armed conflict with other bigger States. NATO didn't do anything when Russia invaded Georgia or when Russia annexed a portion of Ukraine. Russia could only criticize Trump when it rained missiles in Syria and pulled out its forces in that Syrian airbase precisely to avoid being pushed in a situation where they would have to actually respond militarily. The big bad wolves love to huff and puff, but we're still waiting for the house to really come down. We just have to settle for their proxy wars where small States take the beating.

The Du30 administration itself is a house divided on the mining issue. Following the proper processes and undertaking the necessary coordination is the way to address the matter as a whole. The DOF Secretary is most vocal on the issue because frankly, the DOF is the agency most affected by the action of the DENR. The DENR proceeded to shut down the mining firms and contracts without going through the council it co-chairs with the DOF. The budget for this year is 3 trillion pesos, and the DOF has to find that money somehow. DENR won't raise the funds to match the mining revenues that it has unilaterally decided to abandon. What about the workers displaced? Sure let the government give them financial assistance for the time being. Guess where the money's coming from - it's not the DENR. The DBM has to find the fiscal space within the current year's budget to answer for a program that's not included in the budget in order to immediately provide aid to miners who will be out of work. We're talking about billions of pesos here, and that's no chump change. I am also pro-environment but I know first hand that the art of government is not simple. Resolving one issue might seem simple enough, but it impacts other issues as well. That's why going through the process and coordination is important.

I know a lot of eyebrows rose from anti DU30 here when Du30 appointed Gina Lopez as Sec.of DENR. What are your comments on her stance against mining?

Hindi ba sina Tulfo ang loudest critics ni Gina Lopez?

Paano ba yan? Yung LP senators tinagalan ng committee chairmanships. The once mighty LP is now a shell of its old self.

Typical story na yan sa Philippine politics. Same story with LAKAS. Everybody bolted out of the party in 2009/2010 and switched to LP or NP. In 2016 the same people switched to PDP. It's probably gonna be the same story in 2022. NPC lang talaga yung medyo matatag na party kasi they focus on consolidating their local bases. And prior to PNoy's presidency LP was no longer a big party. Just a level higher than what PDP was before Duterte.

so why leni must suffer if someone cheated for her?

Si Migs Zubiri ang the best person na tanungin nyan. Hehe.

John Wick killed 3 men in a bar with a pencil. A f****n pencil.

But between Bond and Bourne, I'd go for Bourne.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the recent controversy of Duterte Admin where solicitor general is appealing to CA to reverse the Napoles' Illegal detention ruling by lower court. What the f*ck is going on? Government defending Janet Napoles? Anong kagaguhan to? Using government resources to defend Napoles? Marami siyang pera may sarili siyang legal team. Attention Dutertards please explain your master's reason for defending Napoles.

Ako I'm not surprised.

John Wick 2 - intense action from start to finish.

Also appreciated the roles played by actors who worked with Keanu Reeves in some of his other movies:

Peter Stromare, from Constantine (2005)

Common, from Street Kings (2008)

Lawrence Fishburne, from The Matrix Trilogy (1999-2003)

 

Best example was Noli Eala

Which means De Lima will suffer the same consequence

 

digong din dapat

Ops, easy lang mga sir. Tandaan, ang case ni Eala ay "scandalous" kasi Eala was a married man who had an affair with a married woman. Si De5 at Du30 ay technically single dahil annulled yung marriage nila, so di applicable ang Eala case sa kanila. Wag natin basagin trip ng mga single lawyers Pilipinas.

We just have to accept that the RCC is just another segment of political society. Just like any other Filipino, they have the right to freedom of expression. Walang pinagkaiba yan sa mga pula na rally ng rally at kung ano ano ang hinihingi sa pamahalaan. Walang pinagkaiba yan sa mga artista na lantarang nagpapahayag ng political opinions nila na naririnig ng mga fans nila. Pasalamat na lang tayo na may separation of Church and State sa Constitution kaya hindi pwede ma-appoint yang mga obispo na yan sa Cabinet - di tulad ng mga pula at artista. Tandaan, and separation of Church and State ay dapat sundin ng pamahalaan, pero hindi ng simbahan. Hindi yan 1987 Constitution of the RCC.

Pero para sa CBCP na yan, sa halip kasi na i-preach sa homily sa mga misa na tutulan ang RH Law at ang pamimigay ng condom sa mga kabataan, eh kung i-preach na lang nila ang pagiging mabuting katoliko na hindi nakikipagtalik sa hindi pa asawa, mas mabuti pa kung ganun na lang. Kahit ilang trak pa ng condom ipamigay ng pamahalaan sa high school at college eh kung may mabuting asal naman yang mga bata na yan eh hindi mag-aanuhan mga yan. Masyado naka-focus ang CBCP sa kung ano ang nasa labas sa halip na kung ano ang nasasa-loob ng tao.
