Duterte's Presidency : Expectations, Controversies, Rants, Etc.

[jopoc]

Yes, due process need not take long. But lawyers can drag it forever if it suits their client.

 

Do you think the findings were not completed months before they were given the closure order? We should not act naive. These mining companies know what violations they are committing. They were counting on being able to bribe the DENR underlings into making sure they are not shut down despite their violations. Unfortunately for them, Gina has a different agenda.

 

Ano pa bang due process ang gagawin if you're already caught red-handed? Cease and desist agad. The main intent is to stop the damage immediately.

 

 

if lawyers can drag cases, the fault is with the government, not the lawyers...... if cases take forever, blame the government for being inept...... not the lawyers.

82% of Metro residents feel safer due to illegal drugs campaign

http://news.mb.com.ph/2017/03/24/82-of-metro-residents-feel-safer-due-to-illegal-drugs-campaign/

 

About 82 percent of people in Metro Manila feel safer because of the Philippine National Police (PNP) war on illegal drugs based on the latest survey conducted by Pulse Asia Research Inc., the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) disclosed.

 

The NCRPO’s war against illegal drugs was implemented on July 1, 2016 and its five months relentless implementation gained 82 percent approval rating from the public based on the result of the Pulse Asia Research survey question: “Compared to last year, I feel that it is less dangerous now in our place because of the campaign against illegal drugs.”

 

The survey was conducted on December 6 -11, 2016 in Metro Manila with randomly selected respondents from all walks of life.

NCRPO chief Police Director, Oscar A. Albayalde, said he is inspired by the result of the survey and assured the public to continue the thrust of the NCRPO on crime prevention and suppression, war against illegal drugs and illegal gambling and Internal Cleansing Program.

“This result will serve as our driving force to continue our mission on eradicating illegal drugs and other illegal activities in the Metro,” Albayalde said.

“We will take this accomplishment as one of our basis and guide to further improve our performance, to address the security demands of the public, and to further pursue our transformation program.” Albayalde added.

Albayalde, at the same time, expressed his gratitude to the public and further encouraged them to continue their support and cooperation to all the NCRPO undertakings. He acknowledged the significance of the information sharing that lead to the arrest and neutralization of illegal drugs personalities.

Albayalde assured that all the information, reports and complaints of public will be acted accordingly and promptly.

“The fulfillment of the service that we render to the public is the acceptance of the public of our services, as we have always emphasized that policing is not just our responsibility but the community as well,” Albayalde said.

“The response they provided in this survey reflects their concerns. We will innovate and do more until we get to 100 percent,” he said.

So, because the government is inept, the lawyers can drag cases in favor of erring mining companies. The lawyers have nothing to do with the continuing rape of the environment. After all, these lawyers are just doing what they're PAID to do, right?

 

Now, no lawyer can drag the case because the DENR Secretary has balls to stop their operation in order to protect our watershed areas.

 

Pero ngayon, due process naman ang ginagawang issue.

 

As an ordinary citizen, immediate stopping the mining activities in watershed areas, with or without due process, is fine with me.

Best President next to Marcos

During his first term. Nung 2nd term nagkanda letse letse na. more because of his wife.

 

But then, just watch his previous speeches and engagement. talagang poised, gagalangin mo talaga. he knows how to handle himself. No other president after him project that kind of powerful aura. the closest that can compared to him should be ninoy and arturo tolentino. cant compare him to duterte kasi si duts barubal, akla mo nasa inuman sa kanto at wasak sa empi light kung magsalita. well, yung poise lang ang pinag uusapan dito ha

Dutertenomics: ‘Golden age of infrastructure’

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/890225/dutertenomics-golden-age-of-infrastructure

 

 

[haroots2]

Duterte's "build, build, build" economic strategy is reminiscent of Marcos' when Marcos masterminded an infrastructure boom.

 

Di bale nang umutang tayo para sa mga infra projects kesa naman na walalng ginawang project para makatipid or gumawa lang ng ilang projects para lang makabulsa yung nakaupo.

[haroots2]

Which is what Marcos did during his term but the dumb and jealous yellowtards, crooked yellow media included, vilified Marcos by spinning the foreign debt to make it seem that Marcos stole which still has not been proven to this day. Furthermore, that foreign debt produced tangible results.

 

If all proposed infra projects of Du30 came to reality before his term ends, I think it will eclipse even what Marcos did.

Philippines is top economic performer in region – Asean research

http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2017/05/05/1696919/philippines-top-economic-performer-region-asean-research

 

YOKOHAMA – The Philippines is “the top economic performer” in the region and the Duterte administration does not pose political risks that might make the country less attractive for investments, according to the ASEAN +3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO).

 

The Singapore-based international group, which released here yesterday its inaugural flagship report on the economic outlook for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), China, Japan and South Korea, is projecting regional gross domestic product to grow at 5.2 percent this year, with inflation under control despite global economic uncertainty.

AMRO chief economist Hoe Ee Khor, in a briefing on the report, was asked if there were factors that could alter the group’s projections for the Philippines.

“The Philippines is the top performer (in the region),” he said. “It is a very attractive destination for investments.”

Asked if he saw political risks from the new government of Rodrigo Duterte, Khor replied, “So far, not much... growth will continue.”

The risks for the country are mainly external, Khor said as he noted that the economy is heavily dependent on overseas workers’ remittances and business process outsourcing. Global economic growth has slowed down, protectionism is on the rise and US President Donald Trump has vowed to bring back American jobs and “buy American.”

“But we’re pretty confident that growth can be sustained at a high level,” Khor said as he pointed out that the Philippines has built strong buffers and the country’s financial reserves are “relatively high.”

Inflation is picking up and the current account deficit may be a cause for concern, he said, “but this is a good current account deficit because it’s sustained by investments.”

Khor noted that the Duterte administration has sustained sound economic policies of the past and international credit rating agencies have maintained the country’s investment grade.

Risks, challenges for Asean + 3

The AMRO inaugural report is being released 20 years after the region was hit by the financial crisis. Khor said the crisis “shaped the trajectory” of regional growth.

He said growth never fully recovered, and one reason “is that the public sector got clobbered.”

This year, however, AMRO sees the economic outlook for ASEAN + 3 improving with a recovery in global trade and investment fueled by domestic demand. Regional integration is also benefiting individual economies, the group reported.

Khor stressed that “you can never be too complacent.” AMRO is urging governments to give priority to financial stability in balancing efforts for economic growth.

AMRO was created after the Asian financial crisis. Khor said the crisis led to reforms that imposed discipline in monetary policies, strengthened regulatory frameworks, built up reserves buffers, encouraged flexible exchange rates and fiscal consolidation and promoted reforms in the corporate and financial sectors.

The improved macroeconomic management and stronger foundations allowed ASEAN + 3 to survive the global financial crisis “relatively unscathed,” according to the AMRO report.

From 2007, the region also benefited from heightened regional economic integration, AMRO noted. Enhanced regional cooperation will improve resilience to shocks and pave the way for sustained relatively strong growth, it added.

Among the risks cited by AMRO for the region are trade protectionism, heightened financial volatility and tightening global financial conditions as well as inflation.

Khor, however, downplayed the impact of Trump’s promises to impose protectionist policies.

“We haven’t seen a lot of protectionist moves yet,” Khor said.

As long as such moves are “not too drastic” and regional economies remain open, integrated and vigilant, he said growth could be sustained.

Poorest regions take in P157-B infrastructure projects

http://www.philstar.com/business/2017/05/03/1696071/poorest-regions-take-p157-b-infrastructure-projects

 

MANILA, Philippines - Thousands of infrastructure projects collectively valued at P157.44 billion will be rolled out in the country’s poorest region under the reinstated Three-Year Rolling Infrastructure Plan (TRIP) for 2018 to 2020, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said yesterday.

 

The region-specific projects totaling 1,313 will be rolled out in the five regions that have the highest poverty rates: the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), Caraga (Region XIII), Eastern Visayas (Region VIII), Soccskargen (Region XII) and Northern Mindanao (Region X).

“This is in line with the country’s National Spatial Strategy in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022. We want to set the country’s direction of future growth to one that strongly involves the regions and maximize this connectivity of sustainable urban and rural communities,” said Socioeconomic Planning Secretary and NEDA director general Ernesto Pernia.

Among the five regions, ARMM, which has the highest poverty rate of 48.2 percent, will have 995 projects worth P50.71 billion under the three year programming for infra spending.

He visits the Kremlin, looks at Putin and showcases what he can do with his country from a continent away and requests a loan to fund this war. Loan = a cache of firearms.

 

Whatever strategy he's executing, it was carefully planned. His tactician skills are expert level 1000. Who is not impressed.

Its wasn't Martial Law per se that was the problem in in the past, but rather the abuse of power and human rights violations that came with it. As long as Duterte doesn't do a Marcos and overstep his boundaries then it shouldn't be a problem. Case in point - Arroyo declared Martial Law once during her term without objections.

That's the problem when one generalizes everything by just looking at the surface.

[juan t]

Don't overanalyze what I said. I said that "Martial Law" are two words that yellowtards feared the most. Your yellowtard cheerleader is joining in the fun. Pansinin mo naman.

 

Speaking of alleged abuses, Marcos dismissed a couple of thousand men in uniform for alleged abuses during Martial Law.

 

 

Of course! What a convenient excuse... blame your subordinates then wash yourself of all the atrocities. Why did it take thousands of deaths, rapes and other abuses before these "offenders" were dismissed. Dapat sa umpisa palang itinigil na.

[juan t]

Blame? Did you understand what you highlighted? Pakisulat nga ulit ng nahighlight mo.

 

 

I understand it perfectly. Your implying that Marcos was clean and that it was his men that were the abusers.

 

Im asking, if that was the case, why did it take so long for him to remedy the situation.

Why did thousands have to be victimized before he pretended to take action?

[juan t]

How sure are you it took him that long to remedy the situation? The fact of the matter is Marcos did something about the abuses and that is by disciplining the uniformed men who allegedly committed abuses which you label obtusely as "blaming." If Marcos did not declare Martial Law, what do you think the Philippines would be today?

 

It is easy for you to conveniently blame Marcos but you obviously have no idea how difficult it was to monitor the AFP in an area of 300,000 square miles.

 

 

Its all there in the history books. If you prefer to believe the alternative stories being circulated in social media today, then that is your prerogative.
