  1. Which makes me wonder saan napunta yun pera nun panahon ni Marcos galing sa allokasyon at pati na rin yun inutang. Sabi ni ka ed 17,000 classrooms ang kanyang napahawa sa mahabang panahon niyang panunungkulan. Sabi dito may 500,000 classrooms na tayo. So divide it equally by 5 presidents thats 90,000 classroom built per administration after marcos. Kulang kulang 5x di po ba?

    Not sure kung saan galing yung 17,000. Pero dun sa 1967 SONA ni Marcos, sabi dun may 17,000 classrooms na napagawa galing sa 724 schoolhouses na naitayo. Baka dun galing yung 17,000 na numero? Pero 1967 pa yun; first term pa lang nya yun.

     

    As to PAGCOR funds, sabi dun sa P.D. 1869, from 1977-1982 nung una ginawa PAGCOR, 1.67 Billion pesos lang ang gross revenues ng PAGCOR. I suppose malaking pera na yun nung panahon na yun at malaki naitulong nito sa pagpondo ng infrastructure projects. Syempre hindi naman natin masasabi nang may kasiguruhan kung sa infrastructure nga ba napunta yun o sa bulsa, kasi marami dito nagsasabi marami naipagawa na infrastructure si FM at marami din nagsasabi kinurakot lang yan. We are all free to speculate naman. Wala naman kasi ako COA audit report ng mga panahon na yun.

  2. "In fact, DepEd has built 86,478 classrooms and hired 128,105 teachers from 2010 to 2014. DepEd has already requested funds for the construction of 27,499 classrooms, and will be hiring 37,000 teachers in 2016 for Senior High School alone," the department said then.

    Kung totoo ito, then 86,478 > 17,000 di po ba?

     

    On the average, that's easily 17,000 ++ classroom in a year since 2010 vs the 17,000 built during Marcos time.

    Trivia:

     

    Alam nyo ba kung saan kinukuha ng Aquino Administration ang pondo para sa pagpapagawa ng classroom? Sa PAGCOR. As of 2015, 10 Billion pesos na ang inilaan na pondo ng PAGCOR para sa school building program nila. Kasama kasi sa batas na gumawa sa PAGCOR na isa sa mga tungkulin na binigay dito ay "to allocate and distribute, with the approval of the Office of the President of the Philippines, the earnings of the corporation earmarked to finance infrastructure and socio-civic projects."

     

    Blind Item:

     

    Sino ang nagsulat ng Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 1869, series of 1983 - ang batas na gumawa sa PAGCOR?

  3. True Story

     

    There's this GM that I know - he used to be an avid patron of MPs, has done the rounds of the different ESpas around the metro, and occassionally goes to KTVs with his buddies. In other words, he's exprienced a countless number of MPAs, theras, and GROs in the last few years - most only once, while some repeatedly. The kind of GM that we would think should know better.

     

    One night he walks into one of the ESpas he frequents. It was just like any other night. He looks at the list, asks if the new therapist is available, and then gets the VIP room to avail of the thera. By his account, sure the thera was pretty, but not even nearly as beautiful as many others that he'd encountered there or elsewhere. Yet, according to him, there was something different about this thera. It wasn't the massage, because it was barely a massage even by ESpa standards. It wasn't the ES either, because if we were to ask him, he'd claim that he walked out of that VIP room without getting an ES but nonetheless gave an above standard tip. All that time he simply enjoyed the company of the thera and some personal conversation. The topic of the conversation? Mostly how her heart aches because of her ex. First thought after hearing this is "what an idiot!" throwing away an amount of money that would have taken him to heaven in an MP - and he knows it.

     

    Here's the kicker, the GM does this again, and then again. The second time around he asked the thera what are the important things he should know about her. He didn't get much of an answer. He asks her out afterwards, they grab a few beers and again enjoy a nice conversation about life. There seemed to be chemistry between them; they appeared to enjoy each other's company as if they were close long-time friends, though they were in fact strangers to each other. The thera exuded an aura of kindness, her smile and laughter more intoxicating than the beer he consumed.

     

    He does his research backreading through the posts in the ESpa board, and spots a post that she's already a MILF. Next time they meet he asks to confirm if this is true, and she answered "yes". When asked why she didn't mention this before, she simply said the GM didn't ask. She then tells him she has a 6-year old daughter - a lovechild from her teenage years.

     

    Most of us, at this point, would have the sense to walk away. But this GM is some piece of work. Before you know it, after being invited by the thera to drop by, he's already out visiting the thera in her home outside metro manila one weekend and treats her family to dinner. He meets the daughter - cute little kid - and a 6-month old baby. Turns out she has two kids. Again, at this point of the story, most of us would have the sense to run away. But this guy was unfazed, and even returns the following weekend and treats the thera's family and some friends out to dinner.

     

    During that second visit, the thera received a text message from someone, which moved her to tears. She was noticeably distraught the rest of the night. The GM asked her what was wrong, and with tears in her eyes she replied that she was just tired. But something in him saw that those tears were the kind that a woman sheds whenever a man breaks her heart. And so he left that night and never went to see the thera again. The poor guy still thinks about the thera, and holds back the urge to see her again thinking he might have been wrong. Yes, he still goes to MPs, ESpas, and KTVs. But in his quiet moments he still thinks about her...

  4. Also, circumstances aren't always as simple. Many therapists are single mothers, and if you happen to fall for that kind of therapist the situation becomes more complicated. I know young single mom therapists that have 1, 2, or even 4 kids. It would really be difficult for them to leave their line of work considering they have young kids to support; and it is likewise difficult for them to place their trust on a GM (a stranger) that they will support her and her kid(s) financially. Finding yourself in this kind of situation will really force you to stop and think whether you really want to dive head in to that rabbit hole.

  5. Antman

     

    Love the fight scene between antman and the yellowsuit inside the briefcase and at home. I thought that Antman will never see his daughter again with that regulator activated. Movie could have been shortened as there are many unnecessary scenes in the early part of the film imo. Overall I rate this film 3.5/5. Looking forward for the antwoman sequel.

    The dubsmash yung winner para sakin. :D

  6. To all those looking for love in all the wrong places, I hope you do find the right person for you there. Learn from the stories of those who have been there, and may it serve to guide you when it's your time to make that choice whether to be with the other person or not. True that most love stories here do not have happy endings, but what matters is the experience of love. And who knows, maybe your story will be one of those rare fairy tales that does end in happily ever after - the kind that warms the heart of even the coldest thera or any GM in heat. If all fails, there are a lot of GMs here who can sympathize and say "I know that feel bro." All the best to you all.
