DE5 and Trillanes ang consistent

DE5 and Trillanes ang consistent

Opposition ba talaga sila? Or are they just trying to push back hard enough to avoid themselves getting into deep s@%t dahil sa pagiging hit-man nila during Abnoy's term? Kung baga, their best defense is offense.

[Edmund Dantes]

Bobo talaga ang NPA. Bobo bobo booooooboooooooo!

 

Mukhang tama nga na hindi na kontrolado ni Joma mga tao nya sa bundok. Kundi ba naman mga isa't kalahating mga tanga ito, after ng successful na second round ng peace negotiation sa roma, naglift kaagad mga tao sa bundok ng ceasefire. Ni hindi man lang ata kinonsulta mga tao nila sa Rome. At para dagdagan pa katangahan nila, agad agad, pumatay ng sundalo! Ay ayus!

 

O ngayon nagbago posisyon ng pangulo na dati rati ang bait sa kanila ultimo pwesto sa gabinete inalok.

 

Tsaka hello! Sinong tangang presidente na pakakawalan 400 na katropa nila lalong lalo na yun me mga kasong kriminal. So pag yun isa dun dinakip kasi binaril kapitbahay, abswelto na komo NPA sya?

I personally don't agree on the rejection of Gina Lopez by the CA. Mukhang malaki ang ginastos ng mga Oligarch para hindi siya ma appoint.

[hunter21]

Agree! That is how politics works in the country.

Most of the politicians always think first of themselves.

[rooster69ph]

This is where we test the will power of the president ...

 

Gina Lopez is one of the performers in his cabinet. Walang takot sumugasa.

 

Why not take the denr portfolio on a concurrent capacity as ptesident and appoint gina as usec and let her do all the (dirty) works.

On this, I agree.

Yes, the supposedly will power of the president, as almost everyone expects him to do something about it.

 

 

Some lawmakers believe that President Rodrigo Duterte didn’t do more beyond making a public declaration of his support for Gina Lopez as Environment secretary.

 

Anakpawis Rep. Ariel Casilao, one of Lopez’ staunch supporters at the House of Representatives, said Duterte could have pushed the needle more, noting how the Commission on Appointments (CA) is composed of the President's allies.

 

“As to the question whether ginawa ba talaga ni President Duterte ang lahat, may kakulangan. Malinaw ‘yon. Maliban sa public pronouncement, the President can really muscle out with Congress kung sa tingin talaga niya karapat-dapat si Sec. Gina. Meron pa siyang magagawa, more than a public pronouncement, to convince CA members,” the lawmaker said Thursday.

what do you think dun sa excise tax sa mga kotse? para kasing tatamaan yung mga better brands at mamamayagpag yung mga chinese cars...

what do you think dun sa excise tax sa mga kotse? para kasing tatamaan yung mga better brands at mamamayagpag yung mga chinese cars...

Regarless of brand tatamaan naman lahat depende lang sa kasalukuyang presyo ang impact na idadagdag ng tax.

 

Pero sa akin ano ba talaga primary purpose ng pagpataw ng excise tax sa sadakyan? Is it to curve the growing number of vehicles? Is it simply to raise funding for the expected increase in gov't expenditures?

 

For me kung solusyon sa trapiko ang pangunahing batayan well i don't agree with the strategy. Right now having a car has became a necessity than a luxury bec of the state of our mass transport system. isipin mo na lang sa ibang bansa mga naka amerikana nag mtr/mrt or bus lang to go to work. It is very convenient and quite comfortable something na di mo masasabi dito. Sa atin kasi kahit naka barong ka nga lang eh basang sisiw ka na pagbaba mo ng bus or mrt/lrt. So gusgusin ka nang tingnan kapapasok mo pa lang sa office. Siksikan at pahirapan pang sumakay. Stress na sa office stress pa sa pag commute. Thus pinagiipunan talaga ang magkakotse kahit pang down lang at kakayanin sa hulugan yun balanse.

 

Remember may panukala din na ibaba ang income tax. So tataas din disposable income ng tao thus most likely the same people can still afford to buy new cars despite the fact car prices will go up fue to the excise tax.

 

I think mas mabuting ayusin muna ang mass transport system and road infratructure. Once ok na then start implementing more drastic measures to limit the number of cars on the streets.

Beijing pledges $124B for modern ‘Silk Road’

BEIJING -- Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged $124 billion on Sunday for his ambitious new Silk Road plan to forge a path of peace, inclusiveness and free trade, and called for the abandonment of old models based on rivalry and diplomatic power games.

 

China's strength is its multi-trillion-dollar reserves. A lot of money that the US and Western Europe cannot match. It will expand its influence though promises of prosperity through mutual cooperation, at least until it is strong enough militarily to force its way through.
