Bayan Muna Representative Teddy Casiño's hypocritical extension of condolence to Jesse Robredo #salamatjesse #epalwatch

By -
Have I said enough already about the duplicity commies are famous for? Perhaps not yet. A press release issued by Malacañang today includes this statement from one of them:
Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Teddy Casino said he sends his sincere condolences to the family and friends of Secretary Robredo.

“Secretary Jesse was an outstanding local chief executive and a very competent Department Secretary. He was one of the few Cabinet members who we truly respected and appreciated. We were witness to his compassion for the informal settlers whose violent demolitions we both tried to stop. His death is a big loss to the cause of good governance,” he said.

Funny that, considering some time ago, Casiño's politburo was reportedly calling for Robredo's head to be served on a platter...
Umapela ngayon si DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo sa mga kritiko na isantabi muna ang panawagang magbitiw ito sa puwesto habang hindi pa natatapos ang imbestigasyon ng Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC).

Ilan sa mga nananawagan para sa pagbibitiw ni Robredo ay ang Bayan Muna partylist at ilang kongresistang kababayan pa ng kalihim sa Bicol.

Translation:
DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo appealed to critics to defer their call for him to resign his position until the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) completes its investigation.

A number of House Representatives have been calling for Robredo's resignation including Bayan Muna partylist along with a number of congressmen who also hail from Robredo's hometown in Bicol.

    As public servants, all politicians are prone to criticism. Teddy Casiño has been criticized by other officials and netizens that have yet to prove their worth in any government position. But that does not stop him from working with them (including Robredo) for the benefit of the people. After the said hostage crisis issue, Robredo and Casiño worked together to aid informal settlers. Most recently, the late DILG Sec and Casiño worked to restore electricity in Pantabangan town in Nueva Ecija.

    Eventually, the two gained each other's trust and respect. Casiño does not hold personal grudges against people, only against the wrongs that they do, especially if they are unapologetic about it.

    And anyone sincere in pushing for the rights of Filipinos will most gain respect and admiration.

    Don't by the excuse from Casino's PR man. So what if they suddenly "gained" each other's trust? Are you also saying that other TRAPO's are also right to whitewash their crimes by simply sending their condolences? Come on, this isn't the first time that Casino has criticized without basis. This just happens to be the first time the one he criticized happened to be an outstanding public official who died in a tragic accident.

Duterte BPI bank scandal a trap set for Trillanes?

By -

There are now papers floating around that the BPI account in Julia Vargas has a running balance of around Php22,000xx from March 2015 to March 2016. It's peanuts, and Trillanes makes a big fuzz about it? Sonamagan, even call center agents would have this kind of bank accounts; definitely does not show a corrupt DU30. And then, Trillanes talks of 42 real estate properties, but mostly owned by the children of DU30. Yet, the first one that media checks is a unit in P Guevarra, which is only valued at 2.3 million. Even ordinary employees could buy such unit. That could hardly buy just the main door, an imported antique, in the house of Binay, which has been valued at 15 million, yes just the freaking door by itself. What is this, they are again using trial by publicity, which they effectively used on CJ Corona whom they accused him of having 80 properties. In the end, it comes out Corona had only four properties, three of which was purchased for investment purposes only. I don'

Rappler CEO @MariaRessa suggests that Duterte was ORDERED to sing by Trump! 😮

By -

In a tweet fielded by Rappler CEO Maria Ressa today, the causality reader could be led to believe that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was ordered to sing by US President Donald Trump. But was he really? It seems Ressa is just being too quick to selectively interpret a common Filipino colloquialism that is no different to the way we use terms like "bossing" and "chief" to address peers or even subordinates in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Ressa is most definitely grasping for straws here.

Filipinos are taught by their parents to flush at public toilets with their feet. Is this RIGHT??

By -

Public toilets in the Philippines are seen to be dirty. As such many Filipinos are taught by their parents to use their feet to operate the flush lever after using a public toilet. The prevalence of this practice was confirmed after a tweet from a Filipino Netizens describing the practice attracted wide approval... Is this the right way to solve the problem of unsanitary public toilets in the Philippines? By teaching kids to use their feet to operate such facilities? It's more like teaching them to be inconsiderate and rather than be good members of the community. No wonder public facilities in the Philippines suck. It's because their users suck.

Poor people in the Philippines seem to prefer poverty over aspiring to be not poor

By -

Sadly, a MAJORITY of the poor people here are bad people. That is WHY they are poor. They disrespect others, they disrespect themselves, and they disrespect God’s creation. Exactly how do they think they’ll be rewarded for that? If you genuinely had empathy, you would be able to get inside their heads and understand why they do these things, and perhaps know how to fix it. However, you are confusing “empathy” with “sympathy”. I have yet to meet a poor person who actually WANTS to do the things necessary to escape poverty. The funny thing is, everyone can see that I’m more successful than they are. They think this is because I’m “rich”. I’m sure a lot of them are full of jealousy (as benign0 describes) and sit around thinking “ha, it’s not fair, that foreigner is so rich and I’m so poor. I guess it’s OK if I steal his stuff”. Which they do. Regularly. I grew up poor. I know how it feels to be hungry, all the time, every day. I decided I didn’t like feeling like that. I’m successf
