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

[Bolj]

nung umpisa ng Tokhang ang sabi ni Bato mataas ang morale ng kapulisan. inalis, binalik, inalis ang pamamahala ng war on drugs sa kapulisan hindi na nabanggit ang morale kung saan na napunta. may mga nagsasabi ng dahil sa Tokhang mas payapa at ligtas na daw ang mga mamamayan sa lansangan. sa mga binabalita at napapanuod na kuha ng CCTV na holdapan, agaw-motorsiklo, atbp., payapa at ligtas nga ba kesa dati o fake news lang? sana me data na magpapakita ng kasalukuyang antas ng kriminalidad.

Well your on the wrong place asking for data that you want to be legit.

The TRAIN is just one of the master strokes of the Duterte administration. The rise in fuel is minimal compared to the savings that each worker will have, compliments of the TRAIN.

 

 

yes master stroke yan ... kita mo naman ang laki ng tax savings na makukuha ng min wage earners na talaga naman di na kailangan magbayad ng tax dati tapos sapul ngayon sa kaliwa’t kanang pagtaas ng bilihin dahil sa excise tax.

 

henyo talaga si lodi and his minions

 

Giving more take-home pay to the workers is indeed a master stroke. It would stimulate the local economy with increased buying power of the people.

 

The increase in fuel tax is most probably from the advice of Budget Secretary Diokno. He is a firm believer that higher fuel prices is actually good for the country. It encourages people to limit their use. It encourages businesses to improve their process efficiencies to reduce fuel use. In the long term, it prepares us to be efficient in order to be competitive.

Pakilagay ang source ng info, para alam lang kung sa Mocha Uson Blog, Sassot blog, Du30 media , Thinking Pinoy ba galing. Thanks.

 

none of the above hehehe... CNN Philippines

[darksoulriver]

Yup. However, some trolls have either a shallow understanding or really don't understand what the TRAIN is all about.

 

the poor have no benefits on the TRAIN Bill it will cause havoc on petroleum prices for the next 3 years at syempre kasunod nito ang presyo ng fare, commodities etc etc... YAN NA OK NABA SAYO YAN!

 

CNN Philippines have a quite sensible article on the train bill http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2017/12/13/congress-passes-tax-reform.html

 

lahat nakatingin sa masamang epekto sa ngayon ng TRAIN BILL pero hindi tinitignan ang long term effect sa future ng PILIPINAS...

 

sana lng ang papalit sa ngayong administrasyon ay di tulad ng GOBYERNO NI PNOY!

[perfectstranger]

master stroke? lol

 

inflation affects everybody. lower tax for lower and middle class is good, but only for those who have been and are still paying income taxes. what about those who are so poor that they don't have any significant income in the first place? or those who are paying fixed taxes for their small businesses (such as market and street vendors)? they end up spending more in their operations due to rising commodity prices.

 

i heard that the government will give out 200 pesos to help the lower class families that will be affected. if this is true, then they are actually admitting to the fact that train is anti-poor. such dole-outs will be taken from the taxes we pay. this also presents more opportunities for corruption.

 

train could have been good if petroleum products and coal mining have been excluded.

Well TRAIN doesnt affect the super rich. Actually it does, but since theyre so rich anyways, they wont really mind it that much. Yehey to 1%!

actually isang bagay na pumapabor sa mayayaman ay yun ibinabang tax sa luxury cars ... halimbawa yun land cruiser from 5m naging 4.65m na lang halos so mga 350k ang natipid.

 

pero mukhang utang na loob pa ng pamahalaan ang magbayad sila ng buwis. ayon nga dun sa isang senador na nainterview sabi nga niya yun mga high end o luxury cars eh madaming smuggled sa mga yan. so pag ibinaba daw ang tax bakit pa mag smuggle imbes na magbayad at maging legal ang parating.

 

sorry na lang si pobreng juan dela cruz na automatikong kinakaltasan ng buwis tuwing sasahod at sapul sa tax ng lahat ng bilihin. since napakadali niyang mabuwisan at walang lusot, tax him some more. that’s the easiest and sure bet way to generate revenues for the gov’t.

 

is that what social equality is all about?

[perfectstranger]

kung alam nilang rampant ang smuggling then why don't they address that problem? tanga lang talaga kahit sa high school di uubra ang kanyang logic. it's sad that most in power right now are intellectually challenged, or they think that the citizens are that dumb.

 

perhaps both.

[rooster69ph]

are they dumb or playing dumb?

 

parang tax sa mining ... una mataas talaga ipapataw na buwis. pag dating sa bicam at lumabas yun final version ayun binaba. di naman siguro kaila sino ang nasa mining.

 

but yun pinakanakakapagtaka the president has the right to veto and yet walang napuna? dumb or really dumb?

Yun nga kagandahan noon, since sa mga goods nagkaroon ng tax, kahit mayayaman magbabayad na rin ng tax. Marami kayang mayayaman ang bababa ng binabayarang income tax dahil maraming "legal" way para makaiwas o mapapababa ng income tax

[perfectstranger]

pinipilit pa rin ang master stroke kuno. lol

 

puwede naman magpost ng counter arguments kung meron man. hindi magbabago ang masamang epekto sa taong bayan kahit ilang beses pa basahin yan ng paulit ulit. di ko talaga maintindihan kung bakit gusto ng iba lokohin ang kanilang sarili.

you did not get the point ...ang sinasabi dito hindi naman masama ang train except di lahat dito eh “tama” at yun sana ang nai veto ng pangulo o di kaya itinama.

 

halimbawa, sabi nga natin kung ang purpose ng train is to generate more income through additional excise tax on vehicles in general then why decrease excise tax rate on luxury vehicles after increasing those on vehicles with lower value? dahil sa smuggling? kasi ang pagiisip nila madalas ang luxury vehicles ang ipinapasok sa illegal na paraan para makaiwas sa mataas na buwis so pag ibinaba baka mahikayat magbayad? wow! hindi ba yun dapat ang binigyan nila ng pansin kung paano masugpo ang smugling.

 

yun na lang income tax ... yun mga maliliit ang kinikita na swelduhan walang ligtas yan sa buwis kasi automatic na nawiwithold na buwis samantalang yun mga negosyante they do tax management or at wost evade taxes on whatever arising tax liabilities. even those higher ups in the corporate world, yun iba sa sinasahid nila are disguised in the form of allowance or representation para lang maging non taxable.

 

bottomline, tax is not bad as long as it will be put into good use and equitable. in this case the latter is in question ... as to some of the items in the train.

[rooster69ph]

 

Giving more take-home pay to the workers is indeed a master stroke. It would stimulate the local economy with increased buying power of the people.

 

In basic theory that is correct.

 

But in this case while net take home pay will increase so does prices of goods and services bec of direct and indirect effect of train. for example sa gasoline excise tax lang na halos 3 pesos per liter. But that will also have an indirect impact on the prices of goods and services because manufactuters will now include this in their pricing. Will it really have enough impact left to stimulate the economy?

 

So what about those min wage earners na talaga naman no need to pay taxes before. Yun driver ng jeep na nagmahal gas pero ayaw payagan magtaas ng pasahe. How will their purchasing power increase? Liliit pa nga actually.

 

So on one end you have those who may increase consumption but on the oher end eh magbabawas nan yun di tumaas ang take home pay. Di kaya offsetting o best case minimal impact. I think the economic managers projected higher tax collection on the assumption existing demand is maintained. I dont think this is about pump priming the economy. Dont make it a stretch.

[perfectstranger]

bakit dilawan agad? puwede naman ayoko sa pareho. hehehe

 

but on a more serious note, I'm just pointing out obvious lapses and shortcomings. they can be defensive and assume all they want, but what I post are usually based on facts and common sense. in the end, we can agree to disagree if our thoughts are different.
