No one is above the law! #ArrestKokoPimentel - Opinion

Ang daming nilibag ni Senator Koko Pimentel, di sihudang, senador siya pero no one is above the law, maraming mahihirap na mamamayan ang tiniketan, pinagmulta dahil sa paglabag na yung iba ay may rason na mas higit pa kay Koko at ni hindi man lang pinagbigyan, at ngayon hindi aarestuhin si Koko?

No one should above the law, kahit senador kapa!

Relasyon ng Pilipinas at Tsina noong panahon ni Duterte higit na maganda kumpara sa pamumuno ngayon ni Pres. Marcos

Relasyon ng Pilipinas at Tsina noong panahon ni Duterte higit na maganda kumpara sa pamumuno ngayon ni Pres. Marcos

Noong panahon ni President Duterte ang ganda ng relationshipo ng dalawang bansa. Politically, diplomatically, economically, everything is good. Ngayon very evident naman talaga na under Bongbong Marcos, ang sitwasyon ng Pilipinas sa China is not good.

So kung ang political and diplomatic tension will not go down, ang mga mangingisda natin ay mahihirapan talagang makapangisda sa Scarborough Shoal.

COA auditor na trumabaho sa DOH Audit report inatake sa puso, patay!

Isang state auditor na nasa likod ng kontrobersiyal na Department of Health (DOH) audit report ang pumanaw matapos atakehin sa puso, ayon sa isang dating opisyal ng Commission on Audit (COA).

Sa Facebook post, sinabi ni dating COA commissioner Heidi Mendoza, na posibleng pumanaw ang dati niyang katrabaho na si lawyer Jake Cimafranca dahil sa stress sa pagtatrabaho sa COA.

“Today I weep for my former colleague. A COA-UN auditor who just died of a heart attack. He is the auditor behind the DoH report. Stress can kill, please let us offer a minute of prayer!” saad ni Mendoza nitong Martes.

“Sa Team Leader ng DoH, Jake, may the heaven open up and receive your soul together with all our prayers for the country and the institution we served! Condolences to your family and the COA family, especially the Resident Audit Team in the Department of Health,” patuloy niya.

Sa isa pang post sinabi ni Mendoza na tumulong din si Cimafranca sa pagbalangkas sa audit report kaugnay naman sa Department of Information and Communications Technology.

“As if not enough Jake, the Team Leader of DoH, is also the one behind the DICT audit report. Audit is life! And I’m sure you will be at peace because you have lived a life meant to serve many! My prayers and gratitude,” wika ni Mendoza.

Matatandaang pinagsabihan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang COA na tigilan ang paglalabas ng audit report sa mga ahensya, na tila lumilitaw na ninakaw ng isang ahensya ang pondo at nag-iiwan ng impresyon sa publiko na mayroon itong bahid ng korapsyon.

Sinabi ng Pangulo na hayaan munang matapos ang mga proyekto ng mga ito bago gawin ang taunang auditing process.

Nag-ugat ito matapos isapubliko ng COA ang nakitang “deficiencies” sa paggamit ng Department of Health sa COVID-19 pondo nitong nasa P67 bilyon.

Why Do Most Filipinos Support President Rodrigo Duterte Till Now?

Why Do Most Filipinos Support President Rodrigo Duterte Till Now? - Alon Calinao Dy

This is a question I always ask to myself. Why do many Filipinos still support the very simple and truly honest Mayor Rodrigo Duterte? Every time my bashers told me, “Mr. Alon Calinao Dy, you’re a Dutertard!” It simply means a fanatic of the President. Well, I truly appreciate his strong commitment for the Filipinos and for this country.

Like most common Filipinos, I admired President Duterte for being simple, brave and honest leader of this country. He risked his life for the Filipinos who supported him and for making Philippines a better place for everyone and by battling against oligarchs and powerful families who controlled illegal drugs, criminalities and rampant corruption in this country. Who would do these courageous acts? only President Duterte!

This is a wonderful quote of former President Ferdinand Marcos when he was still alive, “no matter how strong and dedicated a leader may be, he must find root and strength amongst the people. He alone cannot save the nation. He may guide, he may set the tone, he may dedicate himself and risk his life, but only the people may save themselves.”

I love this popular quote because it just shows that even though we have an outstanding president right now who cares for the Filipino people, it’s not enough without lasting peace and unity among ourselves. President Duterte is one person, he may be the powerful person in the country, but his real power comes from Filipinos who voted and supported him.

Duterte can inspire everyone to do good things. But it’s up for every Filipino if they’re willing to change for the better. And no matter how good you are to people, it doesn’t matter to them and there will be always people criticizing you. That’s why this quote is true “you can’t please everyone.” But all you have to do is continue what you think is right for the country.

I just don’t understand why the opposition HATE president Duterte so much. HATE is such a strong word that destroys us all. I asked myself, why would you hate a man who risked his life for the good of this country? Why would you hate a simple and honest person like the president? And, why would you hate a man who fought illegal drugs, criminalities and corruption?

If only social media existed before, truth could save us all than the lies spread faster on some TV networks. The moment I watched some TV news in the Philippines who had spreading ‘fake news’ and propaganda against the president, I stopped watching the news as it only divided Filipinos politically.

The truth is, The Real Change is in you…The Real Power is in your hands. Altogether You can change the Nation. Sad but inevitable truth, President Duterte will soon retire and out of the office. But after many years from now, aside from other excellent jobs, Filipinos will always remember him for his ‘Build, Build, Build,’ project as could become his legacy for sure.
