politics Dear Leni

[Kapote]

Dear Leni, I get it, you are the highest campaign spender. From where did you get that much money is out of the question. However, your loyalty should not be tinted by the shade of your political affiliation. You have been put as Housing Chief. Please act now. The people devastated by typhoon yolanda are still waiting. We all know the problem (bureaucratic red tape), it has been there for decades. We do not need the media to tell it to us because all of the people knows that already. What we do not know is what have you done so far. Again,you are the highest campaign spender, but your loyalty should be to those Laylayan and not to those who spend much to put you in power.

Leni Robredo is the best thing that happens in Philippine politics.

 

Nakakaumay na ang mga trapo.

 

Kung hindi nga lang namatay si Jesse..

 

Please stop bashing this person..she's only trying her best to reunite the people with her good deeds.

VP Robredo pushes for creation of housing department

 

The Vice President says the proposed Department of Housing will help speed up the completion of housing projects

 

MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Leni Robredo will ask President Rodrigo Duterte to certify as urgent the bill that seeks to create a separate department for housing.

 

Robredo bared her plan during her presentation at the Social Development Summit in Davao City on Wednesday, August 17, where she highlighted the “institutional” dilemma of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC).

 

“HUDCC is not a department. It is only a coordinating council. We want to do so many things but it is not within our mandate,” said Robredo, who is HUDCC chair.

 

The Vice President said the creation of a housing department would cut short the process for the projects that her office wishes to implement.

 

“What we are doing now is if we need to do something that is out of our mandate, we go to the Office of the President and [he] will issue an Executive Order,” she said.

 

 

Trabaho lang ng trabaho VP Leni, tama yan, focus on your job lang...

 

Bumoto. Natalo Kandidato. Naging Hater Ni VP Leni Robredo. #RealTalk

[Mr.XO]

Is there anything that you can do to speed up the housing project? aside from waiting for certification of the President..

Is there anything that you can do to speed up the housing project? aside from waiting for certification of the President..

 

She's pushing for the HUDCC which is just an advisory council kung tutuusin to become an Executive Line Agency, to become the Department of Housing which will handle all 6 housing agencies... Para magkaroon ng Mandato yung opisina, for now kase HUDCC has no mandate to act and or decide on it's own... It doesn't even have operational funds of it's own... everything rests with the OP...

Dear Leni,

 

Sa lahat ng kritiko ng administrasyon, sa'yo ako me respeto. At least di ka lang puro pagkundena na lang. Kumikilos ka din para tulungan ang administrasyon. Mabuti na hinihikayat mo religious sectors na gumawa ng programa na tutulong sa mga drug users talikuran bisyo nila. Ok din na kasama sa agenda mo bilang housing chief na magpatayo ng kailangan na rehab centers.

 

Sana nga lahat ng kritiko kagaya mo. Hindi yun puro satsat lang ang batikos. Ganyan dapat. Either put up or shut up lang. Maganda rin na nung dumalaw si Bato sa bicol, magkasama kayo kumausap sa mga sumuko sa Tokhang.

 

Nga din pala, sa lahat ng kritiko, ikaw lang ang bumisita ng personal sa mga pamilyang nabiktima. Ok din yan na di ka na nagpamedia interview at baka maintriga nanaman na pakitang tao ka lang. Kung bakit ba naman kasi sa dilaw ka pa nahanay eh.

 

Tingin ko po, ikaw yun klase ng karibal sa pulitika na di dapat inaatake, bagkus dapat nililigawan pa na magpalit na lang ng taya. Ok lang yan, ganyan naman pulitika eh. Kung si Joel VIllanueva nga kahit tumakbo sa daang matuwid coalition nilaglag yan si De Lima.

 

Basta sana totohanin mo yan sabi mo na pagpapadagdag sa rehab facilities natin. At talagang sa dami ng mga adik siksikan na sila.

Dear leni,

 

Nakakatuwa ang adbokasiya mo para sa mga poorest of the poor. Gusto mong ang mga international aid at donation ay dadaan sa opisina mo at ipapamahagi sa mga napili mong mga LGU. Maganda yun dahil di mo na need makipagcoordinate sa DILG. Di mo na need makipagcoordinate sa DSWD para sa mga programa na balak mo. At higit sa lahat,mas maganda yan kesa makipagtulungan ka sa NAPC. Kasi yung gusto mong cabinet position di mo nakuha at napunta ka sa coordinating council, kaya dapat magsarili ka na lang para maramdaman ng mahihirap ang presensya mo. Dahil na din sa paborito ka ng media, mas highlight pa ang programa mo kesa sa mga pinopondohan ng taxes ng gobyerno diyan sa NAPC. Kaya saludo ako sa iyong mga ginagawa at nawa ay magtagumpay ka.

[everyman]

Questionable vice president na nga, pati yung pinagagawa questionable din.

Excerpts from the article

 

The Tribune article singles out VP Leni Robredo's position against the land conversion ban without mentioning that her stand based on a study/position paper by NEDA is likewise supported by Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez, Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno and Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez. A clear attempt at demonizing the Vice President by the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas. Seems like a pattern from the Leftist Groups as a few days ago, the National Anti-Poverty Commission trolled Robredo and Agot Isidro on Twitter. The Liza Maza-led NAPC has been at odds with the VP for her efforts in advancing anti-poverty programs. The Anti-Poverty Summit led by the VP last October 10 did not sit well with the NAPC. Its seems the leftists are convinced that they alone should lead the anti-poverty efforts and any interlopers are not welcome.

 

The KMP wants us to believe that the VP is out to protect big business to the detriment of the farmers. The truth is, the VP stand is based on an economic assessment by NEDA supported by our country's top economic managers hand-picked by President Duterte himself.

 

Here's the complete picture:

 

Robredo, economic managers tell DAR: Land conversion ban to k*ll agriculture

 

“Simply put, this will result in delayed improvement in the living conditions of millions of Filipinos with the increase in cost of land for housing due to the unnecessary locking up of land resources. In short, the ban will be antipoor,” it added.

...the implementation of a land use conversion moratorium “can be antithetical to economic growth, job generation and poverty reduction,” they said.

You counter the article I showed by posting an article from one of the yellow media. I rest my case.

 

Yellow media na naman? I really hope people will have the good sense of realizing that the Yellow-tagging is ridiculous and absurd. Every news agency, every broadcasting unit, local and international, that run stories that are deemed counter to the narrative as presented by Duterte or Marcos are labeled Yellow and dismissed instead of probed for their accuracy.

 

It is a lazy comeback which works only for the most rabid pro-Duterte and pro-Marcos fanboys. Sa Mocha Uson Blog patok na patok yan, pero for this thread which purports to be participated in by the more cerebral members of this Forum, I don't think so.

 

As it stands, the truth is, VP Leni's position is the same as the NEDA's and in league with the opinion of Duterte's top economic managers. Care to criticize the position of Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez, Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno, Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez or top economist Ernesto Pernia? Yup, I didn't think so.

The yellow media tag refers to the biases of particular news organizations (e.g. ABS-CBN, PDI, etc.).

 

Because we derived (or copied) our system of journalism from the US, some readers and journalists operate under the assumption that the media is unbiased, when the reality of journalism is that a completely factual story can be heavily biased, simply through the presentation of facts (who is featured, the number of times certain facts are emphasized, etc.).

 

A better system is the English model, where the newspapers openly trumpet their biases; this allows readers to read reports with an awareness of where that particular news org is coming from.

 

Some people can choose to put on blinders, but one thing I like about the awareness of the yellow media (as well as pro-Duterte media orgs) is that it shows Filipino readers are (hopefully) becoming more discerning about what they read.

 

As for the mining issue, I'm not surprised that Leni is pro-mining, given the actions of the LP on that issue. At least there is the possibility of debate in this Cabinet: I sincerely hope Gina Lopez and other pro-environment supporters gain the upper hand over the mining bloc.

Forget the communists and the yellow media.

 

The article you posted is a desperate justification by vested interests for converting agricultural land to commercial use.

 

Look at Japan, it is unthinkable for them to convert their farms to industrial and commercial use. That's why they are self sufficient in traditional Japanese agricultural produce, particularly Japanese rice.

 

In the Philippines, we need to stop the conversion. We should adopt modern technology to increase the productivity of the remaining farms and entice more Filipinos to invest in agricultural production.

 

Creation of sustainable jobs is higher for every peso invested in farms than in commercial ventures. Thailand realized this principle generations ago and now they have overtaken us in solving unemployment and poverty. They can thank their late King Bumibol for their pro-agriculture policies.
