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

[camiar]

Duterte rejects EU Aid due to a pre-condition that PH should respect human rights.

 

Human. Rights.

 

What does that say about our government? Think about that.

 

Maybe that... I dunno, the government doesn't respect human rights?

Yes. Definitely. You dunno.

Well in any case, good luck paying your new electricity bill with the TRAIN law now in full effect. I hear it’s reaching P1/kW/h now. Hope the savings you got from the extra take home pay is enough to cover that, nevermind the rest of the population that the lower income tax did not benefit at all.

1 year Extended ang Martial Law sa Mindanao..... IMO it will be good for Mindanao para na rin sa rehabilitation ng Marawi at iba pang serbisyong maibibigay ng Gobyerno...

 

Basta wag lng magkakaroon ng pagaabuso OK lng yan!

During the American occupation, Mindanao was divided into military districts, each under a military governor. Mindanao's development was steady then.

When the provincial government was turned to over to the civilians, i.e. to the ruling tribal clans, development stagnated due to rido (clan wars), political patronage, corruption, graft, and pure and simple lack of leadership and administration skills.

 

It seems that up to now, Muslim Mindanao still has to be governed military style.

Well duterte isn’t very smart also. I think he’s just as incompetent as his predecessor, so there’s that.

He may not be very smart, but he is definitely NOT incompetent.

 

Economic data are starting to come out now revealing the incompetence of Abnoy.

 

We still have to wait a few years to prove Du30's competency, but based on his decisions and programs, I am satisfied that he is not incompetent, as compared to what I immediately observed of his predecessor Abnoy as early as in his first few weeks in office.

[rooster69ph]

19 months in office economic data are starting to come out now revealing the incompetence of abnoy? ...samantalang may mga pro dutz panay na pabida sa magandang economic data a few months into office.

 

hay pag positive duterte effect pag nega ayun pnot effect ... sisi pa more

This is interesting...

another utang na loob move..

I dont know this guy personally so i will reserve my comments on his appointment at a later time. Tignan muna natin kung ano magagawa niyan. Ano ba JD ng isang envoy for OFW concerns na bukod pa sa JD ng mga tao sa OWWA?

 

Im also wondering....

Papano kung hindi INC (lets say katoliko o member ng rival Ang Dating Daan) ang hihingi ng tulong, maaaksyunan kaya agad??

 

INC head Eduardo Manalo is Duterte's new envoy for OFW concerns

"I would go after these elite and I will not name the person but their companies before – Benpres and about six other companies – have debts to DBP," the President said. "They're using public funds to finance their business but they're getting the earnings. And yet, they were not able to pay and it was condoned by government," he added. According to a 2011 column piece by newspaper Philippine Daily Inquirer, the loans granted and written off by the DPB to various corporations belonging to the Lopez group amounted to over P1.6 billion. This means that the government lost P1.6 billion to the group. Citing the DBP documents, the report cited that written-off loans were granted to Maynilad Water (P710.86 million); Bayantel (P591.81 million), Central CATV Inc. (P207.1 million); and Benpres Holdings (P157.95 billion). "All these corporations belong to, or used to belong to the Lopez group. Benpres Holdings, for example, is still operating, but the DBP has already written off loans given to it," the newspaper said.

correct. no argument there.

 

Choosing the Countries to Rank

We narrowed the world's nations down to a statistically manageable group by comparing the performance of countries in a number of key business, economic and quality of life indicators.

The 80 countries in the 2018 Best Countries rankings had to meet four criteria within the last two years for which data are available specific to each benchmark to be included in the study:

• Top 100 countries in terms of gross domestic product in 2015 or 2014, based on World Bank data
• Top 150 countries in the UN's Human Development Index, based on the 2015 or 2014 report
• Top 100 countries in terms of foreign direct investment inflows in 2014 or 2013, based on United Nations data
• Top 100 countries in terms of international tourism receipts in 2014 or international tourism arrivals in 2013, based on World Bank data

But that was not the sole criteria and the only basis

.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/methodology

The 2018 Best Countries report and rankings are based on how global perceptions define countries in terms of a number of qualitative characteristics, impressions that have the potential to drive trade, travel and investment and directly affect national economies. The report covers perceptions of 80 nations.

The Movers sub ranking represents a version of BAV's Brand Asset Valuator Model of Brand Building, a metric developed by BAV that is predictive of a country's future growth in terms of gross domestic product purchasing power parity per capita. Instead of one year of data, it was correlated to predicted growth of the metric from 2014 to 2020.

credit to the past administration also.
