Propose A Law

[BnF95]

1.) Create a law that people in public offices must declare ALL assets held by him/herself and his/her family. Such assets that are personally owned (including assets transfered to family members within a 6 month period) are confiscated and placed in the national trust (ie. run by the government).

 

2.) Create a law that places a flat 10% tax on everything. Income, excise, withholding, or whatever. Then add a clause that forbids the government from creating any additional taxes.

 

3.) If during the term of the public official, the government earns money, he gets his assets back, if not, they become property of the government and can be sold off to earn money for the government.

 

If this is done, watch the number of crooks in government disappear.

expanded nepotism (parang expanded valued added tax)

 

if one of the family is already government service in any branch

automatic nobody else in the family should be allowed to work/serve in the government already

 

ex. binay is already the mayor of makati, his son should not be allowed to run for councilor or barangay chairman etc.,

 

only after the older binay steps down, before the younger one can run for office.

AGREE AKO DITO! Pero sino ang magpapasa ng batas na ito? E, ang congreso, puro anak ng mga iba pang politiko...

Tutal, mura na naman ang mga video recording equipment, why not record all police operations? Kahit isang helmet mounted camera lang per team, at direct sa presinto ang recording para hindi ma-doktor sa field? That way, medyo mababawasan ang mga extra-judicial activities na ating mga pulis and on the positive side, pwede rin itong magamit na evidence sa pag-prosecute ng mga criminal.

I know you just want to be "nationalistic"... pero medyo misplaced yata ang sentiments mo. What the country needs is for foreign investments to come in and NOT to discourage it.

 

TAX BREAKS dapat for foreigners who want to invest in the country. Just what Ramos did to attract foreign investors. Hey, I don't know about you guys, but personally, I actually felt the "economic boom" during the heydays of Mr. Ramos.

 

Parang unfair ang tax breaks for foreginers, I know, but you see, we are competing against the likes of VietNam, Indonesia, etc. Sorry na lang tayo, we need the dollars more than they need us... so, kapit sa patalim kumbaga.

economic boom was felt during ramos days because because gov't then had budget surplus.

gov't sold a lot of government properties hence the surplus.

 

overall RP had a good run during ramos days, kaya lang si erap yung sumunod.

Yup, and furthermore, ni-reverse ni Erap yung mga tax-incentive-policies ni Ramos. Kaya namatay ang special economic zones. Texas Instruments was supposed to investment a cool 1 BILLION US DOLLARS in the Bataan Economic Zone (largest wafer manufacturing plant outside the US dapat). Kaso dahil napaka-unpredictable ng Philippines (they found out), so they shopped around elsewhere in Southeast Asia.

 

Other factors kung kaya umayaw sa Bataan ang TI was NPA harrassment (Matell pulled out because of this), NO INFRASTRUCTURE (wafer manufacturing needs lots of clean water and stable source of electricity -- hindi pwedeng isang kidlat lang eh brownout na). And of course, the deal breaker, PREDICTABILITY in goverment policies. hindi pwedeng tax break today, triple tax tomorrow.

there so many ways to attract foreign investments, pero sa akin important is transparent and consistency.

 

right now then plan to pass a law moving non-working holidays to mondays or fridays, i mean ano pa meaning nung bonifacio day (nov. 30) if we don't celebrate (by means of no work/school) on the day itself. very inconsistent and very confusing, plus all those special holidays costs double for businesses

[skitz]

kicx,

 

Last I heard, Sen. Mar Roxas has proposed a bill para hindi na confusing ang holidays. As in, start of the year palang, buo na dapat ang calendar of holidays. Hindi na pwedeng kumati lang pwet ng mga naka-upo sa Malacanang eh holiday na...

yup i heard it too, pero isipin mo, ano meaning ng isang holiday if you don't celebrate it on the day itself? some holidays are meant for us to reflect on the things that our forefathers have died for, we just can't move it para lang may long weekend.

 

para hindi OT,

 

they should pass a law banning the jeepneys in the metro.

why?

1. not effecient

2. safety - no safety features

3. pollution - most them use reconditioned/surplus

4. antiquated - it does not already serve the purpose of a metropolis anymore.

 

we should start developing other mode of mass transportation

Ehr, kicx, you do realize that any politician that even tries to propose this bill will be lynched by the public? Over half (and perhaps up to 75%) of the Metro Manila population (not even including other metro areas such as Metro Cebu and Metro Davao which do not have the LRT/MRT) ride in jeeps. The politicians know jeepneys are a inefficient polluting mode of transportation, but the lobbying by the Jeepney groups can paralyze the country.

 

Instead, implement a law tightening the regulations on all vehicles as well as drivers.

1.) Vehicle Registration --> Free (or very low) for the first 5 years, then 30% of the list price of the vehicle on the 6th year, escalating by 5% every year thereafter.

 

This will encourage vehicle owners to junk (we can salvage the parts and process them) their old polluting vehicles and purchase new ones. So as to not hit the pocket too much, perhaps the 100% luxury tax on vehicles can be removed or lowered to 10%.

 

2.) Driver Licencing --> Tighten the damned tests. Drivers with X tickets cannot renew for a period of Y years.

 

Okay, its a little basic, but I'm sure it can be streamlined and made workable.

yeah right.. parang yung so-called ticketing system ng MMDA dapat may quota ang mga yan para by the end of the day may "kita".

 

kahit na gaano karami ang maipasa na laws nila problema pa rin ang implementation of laws. example na lang ang no smoking law. ano na nangyari? anti-smoke belching law, etc. I even remember a law prohibiting driving a dirty vehicle in the metropolis, may corresponding fine pa.

ayun nga nga pinagtataka ko bakit madami dito galit kay Ramos i guess you cannot please everybody, anyway i also felt this economic recovery during Ramos time sayang nga lang dapat nag stay pa sya ng mahabang panahon sa presidency at na change na sana sa parliamentary ang pilipinas kung hindi dahil sa pakikialam ni Cardinal Sin eh di sana iba na form of govt natin ngayon. mga pari talaga pakialamero dapat ipako sa krus he he ..

 

opinion lang po..
