If Manila hadn't turned into a shithole after the 1950s it would still look like this.

    If Manila had kept this beauty and elegance, it would have given Manhattan a run for its money

Leni Robredo misdeclared MERALCO stocks possibly worth 6 million pesos!

Leni Robredo admitted to Mike Enriquez during a radio interview on May 9 that she owned stocks at Meralco. She also admitted that such had a value of 95k pesos in 1995. Robredo did not declare the value of these stocks, and while she declared owning stocks, the value of such is not listed in her SALN as an asset. Now after doing some crowd-sourcing and math, here is what I found out. I could not get the share prices of Meralco stocks in 1995. What I got thanks to Carlos A Jr Cortes is the value in 2000 which is 4 pesos per share. Using this, and this is even conservative since the price in 1995 must have been lower than 4 pesos, then Robredo owned at least 23,750 shares of stocks (95k divided by 4). The current share price of Meralco is 272 pesos per share. If we use this value, then Robredo has at least 6.46 milion pesos (at least 23,750 shares multiplied by 272 pesos per share) of assets which she failed to declare in her SALN. Using the Corona precedent, this is an i...

Filipinos least rude in the world my ass!

Am I being a crab if I thought that the Philippines as the least rude country in a recent survey is complete and utter bullsh*t?  If you think about it, maybe we are very polite and cordial, to foreigners, as long as we can keep milking money from them.   Actually, this isn't even being polite; it's being called sipsip and switik.   Once they run out of money or just stop spending it on us, and especially once they criticize us constructively and give us tips on how to improve, we immediately say that the Joes are stupid and that they should all go home. Filipinos smile because they don't want the world to know that they're suffering.  If the world does know, Filipinos will only get more questions as to why, and the truth will eventually come out that most of the time, their suffering is the consequence of their own stupidity.   Filipinos go out of their way to help foreigners because most of the time, they're looking to get a sort of monetary reward or...

Truth in elections must be upheld regardless of who you support or who is winning!

I, Drei Toledo, daughter and niece of Leftists and human rights victims during the Martial Law Era, believe in democracy. I will not allow my family's pain and history to be used as a convenient justification to cheat a Marcos. My loyalty is to TRUTH, and not to any political personality. I believe we must learn from the lessons of our history as a nation. Democracy dictates that we honor the voice of the people. If that means giving another Marcos a chance to redeem his family's name, then so be it. If that means having a wonderful woman with the signature Tsinelas Leadership of Leni Robredo become Vice President, then so be it. What matters is we all stand for TRUTH, and not rabidly defend whichever candidate we voted for. Electoral fraud is happening not only in the VP race but also in the Senate and LGU race. Please stop bullying our fellow intellectuals David Yap and Antonio Contreras. They do not share their data set and data analysis out of malice. We all have ou...
