    Free Data Mula Kay PLDT | Napaka Generous ni PLDT

    9:15 AM 0
    Free Data Mula Kay PLDT | Napaka Generous ni PLDT
    Nothing unusual, para sa akin isang typical na araw lang ito ngayon. Dahil market day ngayon dito sa town namin kaya, inaasahan talaga na marami kaming customers galing sa iba't-ibang bayan, purok o barangay. Makulimlim ang panahon pero tuloy pa rin ang pagpasok ng aming mga customers. Maganda ang araw ko dahil pakiramdam ko ay malaki-laki din siguro ang sales namin nitong araw.

    Mga banda 1:00 o'clock ng hapon habang may inasikaso akong isang customer, may tumawag sa cellphone ko mula sa 171. Ikaw ba naman halos every other day tumatawag sa number na iyon dahil sa problema ko sa dial tone at intermittent internet connection, siyempre alam ko na na taga PLDT ang tumawag.

    Ayon nga nagpakilala na isang CSR ng PLDT kaya medyo excited pa ako sa tawag nya baka may magandang balita. Binanggit niya yong concern reference number ko pero hindi ko tiningnan kung tama ba yong number na iyon. Inaabangan ko yong goodnews niya kung sakaling mayron.


    Akala ko maaayos na ang linya ko at babalik na ang telephone line namin pero iba ang sunod nyang sinasabi. Ang sabi nya mayron daw silang alternative to compensate my problem. Baka mayron daw akong wifi modem na gamit ay Smart or TNT sim para daw lolodan nila at free data ako within 7 days.

    Naku po! hindi iyan ang inaasahan kong balita mula sa iyo. Wholesaler po ako ng loadwallet ni Globe at Smart kaya hindi ko kailangan ng free data plus free call at text dahil naka free call at free text ako palagi, monthly pa yong load allocation ko. Hindi rin ako mahilig mag data sa aking cellphone dahil mayron akong internet connection na kinuha mula sa inyo at nagbabayad ako ng P7,000 installation fee nong pinakabit ko ito.

    Hindi ko kailangan ng free call at freetxt at mas lalong hindi ko kailang ng free data. Kumuha ako ng 20mbps na Home Fibr sa aking cellphone shop at 50mbps naman sa aming bahay. Para saan yong data na ibibigay nyo madam? Ang kailangan ko ayusin nyo yong serbisyo ninyo dahil nagbabayad ako ng matino para sana sa serbisyo na kailangan ko tapos ngayon bibigyan nyo lang ako ng free 21 week free data, with free call and text?

    Ayon natakot si Mam CSR, nag segway nalang ito at sinabi sige sir babalikan ko nalang kayo pagkatapos kung ma follow-up ang concern nyo sa technical team. Paumanhin po madam CSR, alam ko hindi mo inaasahan na ganun ang reaction ko dahil free data ang dala mo. Baka akala mo, lulundag ako sa tuwa kapag nakakatanggap ako sa free na sinasabi mo.

    Since December 22, 2019 wala ng kwenta ang telepono sa bahay at sa shop. Nagiging palamuti nalang ito at inalikabok na dahil hindi na nagagamit. Wala akong ibang hangad kundi maayos ang serbisyo nyo para naman fair yong pagbabayad namin ng bills bawat buwan.

    PLDT umayos-ayos naman kayo. Nabibingi na ako sa kakasabi ng CSR na mayrong technical team na pupunta sa amin para ayusing ang problema sa linya ng aming fibr at telepono pero hanggang ngayon wala pa rin, at dalawang buwan na po. Huwag nyong hayaan na unti-unting mawawala ang mga subscribers nyo lalo pa ngayon na malapit ng mag-umpisa ang Mislatel. 

    AGAIN, panawagan namin sa PLDT Davao Region specially Davao Oriental, ayusin nyo na mga problema ng mga subscribers nyo dito baka saka nyo na ayusin kung halos lahat ay hindi na kayo tangkilikin.

    PLDT Telephone Line Dead and Intermittent Internet Connection

    3:14 AM 0
    PLDT Telephone Line Dead and Intermittent Internet Connection
    Naging maayos naman ang lahat simulat nong nag-migrate ang aming Internet Service Provider from Philcom to PLDT Fibr. Simula 2012 hanggang 2018 ay naging Philcom subscribers kami at nagtiyaga sa Plan 999 DSL. Pagdating sa internet connection, I wasn't 100% satisfied dahil kadalasan umaabot lamang ng 0.300 mbps ang naibigay nito sa amin pero dahil wala namang choice kaya tuloy pa rin ang aming pagbabayad.

    Ang pinaka-nagustuhan ko kay Philcom ay ang serbisyo ng kanilang technician. Isang text or tawag mo lang, aaksyon na agad sila para maayos at ma-address ang aming concern. Everyday, kalimitan ay makikita mo si technician na umiikot sa bayan para magbigay ng aksyon sa mga problema ng kanilang mga subscribers. Kaya noong ibinabalita na magkakaroon na ng fibr connection ang aming bayan, naglulundag sa tuwa kami dahil magkakaroon na rin kami ng mabilis na internet connection.

    Medyo may katagalan din bago na-activate yong linya ng fibr dito sa amin. Daming mga guni-guni kung bakit hindi agad na-activate. Pero umaasa pa rin kami na magiging OK din ang lahat. Kinalaunan, we got an update mula mismo kay Philcom at technician na pwede na kaming mag-apply ng fibr connection. Dahil existing subscriber na kami mas mabilis ang installation at libre pa ito. Agad kaming nagpakabit pero wala pang connection ng halos dalawang buwan.

    Then, nakatanggap kami ng balita na may connection na ng fibr ang aking shop dahil doon ko inunang magpakabit ng fibr. Based on our observation, mabilis ang speed ng internet kahit 20mbps lang ang kinuha kung plan para sa aking shop at ito ay sa halagang P1,899 per month. 

    Kaya nag-apply ako for another connection para sa aming bahay. Dahil isa din akong blogger at vlogger, kaya need ko talaga ang mas mabilis na internet connection kaya I choose to subscribe their 50 mbps plan worth of P2,899. Agad naman itong napuntahan ng mga HOME FIBR. Hindi ako naghintay ng matagal at nagkaroon agad kami ng internet connection sa bahay.

    Natapos ang buwan, dalawang buwan at maging taon wala kaming problema sa connection. Kaya malaki ang pasasalamat namin sa PLDT Fibr. Para tuloy-tuloy ang serbisyo at pagamit ng fibr connection, we promptly paid our monthly bills. Until December 2019, noong humagupit si Typhoon Tisoy. Nawala ang aming connection ng ilang araw, tapos bumalik pero unstable na ang speed ng internet at minsan nawawala. December 15 nawala ang linya ng aming telephone sa shop. Sa umpisa busy line pa ang maririning mo kapag pinakinggan mo ito pero late on ay totally nawala (dead).

    December 22 nong una kung tumawag sa hotline para magreklamo. Nong panahon na iyon, OK pa ang telephone sa bahay pero parehong intermittent ang internet connection. Ang ginamit kung pantawag sa hotline ay ang telephone sa bahay. Nagbagong taon na for 2020 still wala pa ring aksyon ang PLDT. Palagi akong tumatawag sa hotline at puro paasa lang ang kayang gawin ng mga CSR.

    Mid of January 2020, nawala na naman ang linya ng aming telepono sa bahay. Hindi na ako makakatawag sa hotline. Kaya tinawagan ko yong Philcom technician ka kung maaari ma-check nila ang linya ko. Nabisitahan nila ako together with the installation team ng HOME FIBR. Doon ko nalalaman na wala na pala siya sa Philcom-PLDT kundi nasa HOME Fibr na at sila na yong mga nag-i-install sa mga bayan at naka-based na sila sa city.

    Tsinek nila ang aking linya pero wala silang nakitang error sa side ng HOME Fibr, as per advice kailangan kung tumawag sa 171 para sabihing bumisita sila pero walang problema sa kanilang end. Sagot ko naman, wala ng telepono na aking magagamit para tumawag dahil dead na pareho ang linya ng telepono sa shop at sa bahay. Noon ko nalalaman na pwede pala tumawag sa 171 gamit ang SMART/TNT cellphone.

    Madalas na akong tumawag sa hotline at ganun pa rin ang aking maririning, puro paasa  kisyo nasa technical team na daw ang aking concern at kokontakin nalang daw ako para sa update. Since December 15 until now February 10, wala akong nakausap ni isang technical team mula sa PLDT.

    Mula noong nag Fibr connection kami, I promptly paid my monthly obligation both sa shop at sa house. I am paying P1,899 para sa shop for 20 mbps connection at P2,899 naman sa aming bahay for 50 mbps connection. Pero simula December 26 hanggang ngayon hindi ko na binayaran ang aking monthly bill sa kadahilanang hindi nila inayos yong connection ko. 

    Napaka unfair naman na magbabayad ka sa tamang halaga based doon sa ginawa nilang bill na hindi naman nila naibigay sa iyo ang serbisyo na nakalagay sa contract na speed at with telephone line. Sila mismo ang hindi tumupad sa agreement tapos sila pa ang may ganang maningil sa serbisyong hindi naman nila naibigay ng tama.

    PLDT gumising naman kayo, pagdating sa bills payment ang bilis nyong umaksyon pero pagdating sa pag-address ng aming mga concern, daig nyo pa ang pagong sa sobrang bagal. Ayusin nyo muna ang serbisyo nyo bago ako magbabayad ng tama, kung putulin nyo ang linya ko, AYOS lang sa akin. Mas mabuti pang gagamit nalang ako ng Prepaid Home Wifi ng Globe mas mabilis pa ang connection kay sa Fibr nyo.

    Hindi naman kami ang unang lumabag sa ating agreement, nagbabayad kami ng maayos pero hindi nyo inayos ang serbisyo nyo sa amin. Kung may plano pa kayong ayusin ang serbisyo nyo, ayusin nyo na habang maaga pa at pwede pa kaming bumalik sa inyo. Malapit na ang MISLATEL, baka tuloyan na kaming mamaalam sa inyo.

    To check my history, please tingnan nyo ang aking account number sa inyong system:

    1. Shop - 0270052347
    2. House - 0270370160

    Simbahang Katoliko Tatanggalin na ang Fixed Donation

    6:41 PM 0
    Simbahang Katoliko Tatanggalin na ang Fixed Donation
    Dumadami na kasi ang reklamo ng mga netizen tungkol sa paraan ng pangongolekta na tinatawag na Fixed Donations. Napag-alaman na iba ang pananaw nila sa pagbibigay ng pera sa panahon ng misa sa libing, binyag at sa iba pang sakramento sa simbahan. 

    Ayon kay Fr. Jerome Secillano "na kailangan ding makinig ang simbahan sa mga pagpupuna ng mga taumbayan". Ito ang ang inihayag na sa Bandila ng ABS-CBN news kagabi.

    Dagdag pa ni Rev. Broderick Pabillo, "ang pagkaunawa ng tao sa fixed donation panahon ng misa sa libing at binyag ay para bayad na ito. Para mawala na ang ganung impression, kaya tanggalin nalang".

    Credit Image: Screenshot from Bandila news of ABS-CBN

    Marami ng simbahan sa Pilipinas ang nagtanggal na ng Fixed Donations sa mga misa nila sa libing at sa binyag.

    Ang pagtanggal ng fixed donations sa lahat ng simbahan sa buong Pilipinas ay ipapatupad sa taong 2021. Kasabay ng limandaang anniversaryo ng pagdating nga kristiyanismo sa Pilipinas.

    Malaki ang maitulong nito sa mga Katoliko na gustong ma-serbisyohan ang kanilang mga patay na kamag-anak at binyag ng kanilang mga anak na hindi na mahihirapang pang maghanap ng pambayad.

    Isa pa sa tinitingnan ng mga netizen na mawala na rin ang paraan ng pag-iikot ng mga donation collector panahon ng misa, na medyo nakakahiya sa iba kung wala kang ihuhulog sa dala nilang basket o sa ano mang bitbit ng mga taga kolekto. Sana ibalik sa dati na kusa mong ibibigay o ihuhulog sa nararapat na sisidlan ng donasyon sa isang bahagi ng simbahan.

    Isang Magandang Nurse Sa Davao City Viral Ngayon Dahil sa Pagtutuli Nya ng mga Bata

    Isang Magandang Nurse Sa Davao City Viral Ngayon Dahil sa Pagtutuli Nya ng mga Bata
    Viral ngayon sa social media ang isang nurse na taga Davao dahil sa angking ganda nito.
    Pero hindi lang ang kagandahan nya ang nagdulot ng kasikatan dahil hindi lang ito ang naging dahilan ng kanyang pagsikat sa facebook kundi dahil sa galing nya sa pagtuli ng mga bata.

    Ikaw ba naman, hindi kaba papayag magpatuli sa isang nurse na ubod ng ganda. Diba karamihan sa mga kalalakihan pagdating ng saktong edad o maging binata o may pamilya nya, minsan nagyayabangan tungkol sa kung sinong nurse ang nagtuli sa kanila?

    Di ba magiging proud ka din dahil ang nagtuli sa iyo ay napakaganda at mukha talagang artista. Kung tutuusin maraming artista na hindi naman kagandahan tulad nya. Kaya marami talaga ang namangha kay RN. Krestle Lailene Deomampo.

    Ang nakakatawa pa nito, nag tweet si Ms. Krestle sa kanyang twitter account ng "Operation Tuli" updates pero nakakuha lamang ito ng 5 likes. May isang nakakita sa kanyang post at gumawa ito ng fake accounts sa facebook tapos inulit nyang i-post ang updates ni Ms. Krestle kasama ang mga karawan nito, umani ito ng maraming likes at nagkaroon ng moer than 15,000 followers.

    Malaki ang pasasalamat ni Ms Krestle sa gumawa ng fake accounts nya dahil doon sumikat siya. Sa ngayon concentrate muna sya sa kanyang profession, pero malay natin darating ang araw makikita na natin siya sa telebisyon. Aabangan nalang natin ang susunod na kabanata ng kanyang buhay.

    Ang Sikat na Komedyanteng si CHOKOLEIT ay NAMAMAALAM Na

    Ang Sikat na Komedyanteng si CHOKOLEIT ay NAMAMAALAM Na
    Kinumperma ng Start Magic na ang sikat na komedyanteng si Chokoleit ay patay na. Ito ay nangyari kahapon lang Sabado, March 09, 2019. Habang ito ay nagtatanghal sa bayan ng Abra sa kanilang "Kawayan Festival 2019".

    Si Chokoleit in real name "Jonathan Aguilar Garcia ay namatay sa edad na 48. Sumikat siya nong unang mapansin sa ABS-CBN fantaseryeng "MARINA". Kaliwat kanan na ang appearance ni Chokeleit sa iba't-ibang programa sa telebisyon.

    Ang kanyang mga kaibigan ay nagbigay pugay sa kanyang pagkawala tulad nalang nila Vice Ganda. Nagtweet ito ng pasasalamat dahil naging kaibigan nya ito:

    "Thank you Lord for giving me a chance to meet Chokoleit and become his friend. Im sad that we lost him. But happy that he’ll be in a much peaceful and happier place now with you. Thanks for everything Chokie. I love you!!! Rest well my friend."

    Bago paman siya maisugod sa ospital, kumanta muna ito ng "Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko" pagkatapos magtanghal ng bandang "The Juans" from Bulacan. Sabi pa ni Carl Guevarra ng The Juans, hindi sila makapaniwala ang struggle ni Chokoleit sa pagtanghal:

    "Unbelievable. Chokoleit performed right after our set and we witnessed how he struggled through the entire performance. The ambulance rushed him to the hospital in Vigan but now we were informed he didnt make it and passed away. We are all in shock. Prayers to all his loved ones. ‬RIP"

    Kahit ang mga nanonood ay nakapansin na hinihingal si Chokeleit habang ginagawa ang kanyang part sa show. Kahit sa video na ina-upload ng Abra Province facebook page, mapapansin talaga na uncomfortable si Chokoleit habang nagtatanghal. Paalam Chokoleit ang iyong mga patawang jokes ay hindi malilimutan ng mga mamayang Filipino. Salamat sa lahat.

    Panoorin ang video ng Abra Province nasa kataposang bahagi ng video ang part ng show ni Chokoleit: https://www.facebook.com/abragovph/videos/1167752816732891/

    Malaysian Minister renews ties with Duterte, says PH has no territorial claims over Sabah

    Malaysian Minister renews ties with Duterte, says PH has no territorial claims over Sabah

    Manila---The Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad on Thursday paid courtesy to President Rodrigo Duterte in Malacañang to renew ties to the decades-long dispute over Sabah, the controversial territory of the southern country.

    When was asked about the Philippines’ dormant claim to Sabah, a territory of south PH declared part of the Malaysian federation in 1963, Minister  Mohamad's stated in the exclusive interview of ANC, that PH has no claim.

    "Well, as far as we’re concerned, there is no claim,” said Mahathir.

    The Palace, however clarified that the country has claims despite of maintained arguments since Marcos administration.

    “That’s their position. The position of the President is we have a claim,” Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a Palace press briefing Thursday.

    “It’s true that we have a claim. That’s been the bone of contention since the time of [the late] President Marcos,” he added.

    PM Mahathir who is in the Philippines for a three-day Official visit, seemed hesitant to speak about the matter and said no discussion will be performed between him and Duterte on Sabah when they meet later Thursday. 

    “We will not discuss that,” he said.

    Duterte and Mohamad of Malaysia, together with their respective delegations, convened for an expanded bilateral meeting at the Aguinaldo State Dining Room in Malacañang Palace late Thursday.

    The two leaders discussed matters concerning several areas of mutual cooperation including the economy, trade and investments, and people-to-people exchanges.

    However, at the start of Duterte's presidency, he said that he would “stick with the original position of the government. Nothing has changed.”

    The Philippines stakes its claim to Sabah by citing an 1878 land lease agreement between the Sultanate of Sulu and the British North Borneo Chartered Co.

    The Philippines sticked to the agreement of the leasing of the land and did not render Sabah part of Malaysia when it was formed into a federation in 1963.

    There had only been recurrent discussions between the Philippines and Malaysia over the claim wherein the latter has continued to govern the territory.

    In November 2016, Duterte and then Prime Minister Najib Razak agreed to set aside the contention. 

    In 2013,  Malaysia has sentenced 9 Filipinos to death over the incident in Sabah where hundreds of militants from Tawi-Tawi to Lahad Datu in the territory declared their claim, calling themselves "Royal Security Forces of the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo.”

    Meanwhile, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said that Mahathir, in his previous stint as prime minister, now aged 93, undertook official visits to the Philippines in 1987 and 1994.This is his first visit to the country since being reelected as Malaysia's highest leader in 2018.

    Mahathir was known for his strongarm, sometimes contentious style of rule intolerant of dissent from 1981 to 2003, but also for transforming his country in Southeast Asia from a sleepy backwater into a modern industrialized nation.

    Police chief outrage against the 'kotong cop' favors the President

    8:16 PM 0
    Police chief outrage against the 'kotong cop' favors the President

    Manila---President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday said that he favoured the acts of National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief for physically showing his outrage to a police officer a.k.a. 'kotong cop' who allegedly extorted money from a drug suspect.

    The top cop Major General Guillermo Eleazar was caught in the act of pricking, scolding and pulling the hair of Regional Special Operation Unit of NCRPO Police Cpl. Marlo Quibete.

    “Sabihan mo kay Eleazar, okay iyon. Eh ano bang namang ganon-ganon? Sabihin mo, I have his back covered,” Duterte said in a speech in Malacañang during the first anniversary celebration of the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission.

    Eleazar, however, apologized for lashing out and losing his temper but then clarified that his actions were justified.

    "Humihingi ako ng paumanhin kung hindi ko nakontrol, pero ang mga taong 'yan ang dahilan kung bakit tayo nasisira, para sakin dapat lang na ganun ang trato sa mga tiwali," he said. 

    He said his expression of displeasure to the violent confrontation should be a stern warning to police officers.

    "Mapahiya na ang mapahiya, let us show this as a stern warning," he said. 

    Earlier, in a filmed video with the presence of police officers, Eleazar was grabbing Quibete's face and at one point pulling his hair while under arrest.

    Quibete was handcuffed, collared and yelled by Eleazar in front of the media and other cops.

    The cop involved, Quibete, was a member of the District Drug Enforcement Unit (DDEU) of Eastern Police District (EPD).

    He was arrested Wednesday midnight after allegedly demanding Php200,000 to a drug suspect named Aries Ochoada in replacement of his freedom who was then arrested in a buy-bust operation in Marikina City.

    In a statement told by Quibete's live-in-partner, Eva Cabansag, she said that Quibete was asking too much to Ochoada including gold necklace and a motorcycle.

    "Hiningan kami ng P200,000. Sabi ko, 'di ko kaya. Sabi P100,000 na lang, hindi pa rin kaya. Kung ano na lang meron kami. May pinapirmahan pang deed of sale nung motor naming na kunwari binenta ko sa kanila," Cabansag said.

    According to the investigation, other members of EPD-DDEU had exchanged text messages to Quibete about the conspiracy including the head of the unit.

    With that, Eleazar ordered the immediate relief of EPD chief Police Brigadier General Bernabe Balba and Pasay City Police chief Police Colonel Noel Flores, citing to face robbery and extortion.

    "Pinatawag ko iyung iba kagabi, tinatawagan ng kanilang district director, pero hindi na po lumutang. Natakot na siguro dahil sa stiwasyon at namonitor nila na naaresto na itong kasamahan nila," he said in an interview with DZMM. 

    Since Duterte admin in 2016, war against drugs has striked over 5,000 drug suspects under police drug operations with criticisms of alleged police abuses and doubts about the legitimacy of police operations.

    Duterte mocks opposition: 'Otso Diretso, papuntang impyerno'; Robredo reacts: 'It's a good sign'

    Duterte mocks opposition: 'Otso Diretso, papuntang impyerno'; Robredo reacts: 'It's a good sign'

    Manila---President Rodrigo Duterte has punch forward for the first time in a campaign rally the opposition slate of Vice President Leni Robredo, mocking them 'Otso Diretso, papuntang impyerno' for doing nothing but only critizing the current admin; in response, Robredo said the coalition have proven record and it's a good sign that the president notice them.

    Speaking in a campaign trail Sunday before his ruling party the PDP-Laban, Duterte unleashed his reprimand to opposition senatorial bets led by former Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas who have done nothing but criticized and doubted the achievements of his administration.

    “Sinong ipalit mo diyan sa ‘yang ‘Otso Diretso’ papuntang impiyerno? Totoo lang, hindi ako na-ano. Walang ginawa ‘yang mga tao na ‘yan puro criticize, hindi pa maniwala,” he said while getting applause from the crowd.
     Credit Image: https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2018/08/23/1845242/us-officials-ask-meet-duterte-purchase-military-equipment

    The Otso Diretso slate is composed of Senator Bam Aquino, Magdalo party-list Representative Gary Alejano, former Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II and former Quezon Representative Erin Tañada.

    The other four who completed the eight-man coalition are Former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay, Marawi civic leader Samira Gutoc, human rights lawyer Jose Manuel “Chel” Diokno and election lawyer Romulo Macalintal.

    In the middle of his speech, Duterte asked his staff for a list of the Otso Diretso candidates, belittling the competence of each bet naming Roxas, reelectionist Senator Bam Aquino, Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano, former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay and lawyer Romulo Macalintal.

    He said the administration bets named former presidential political adviser Francis Tolentino and former Interior and Local Government Rafael Alunan III were more qualified senators than their rivals.

    “Ngayon kung hindi niyo iboto ‘yan, ewan ko lang. Ipalit ninyo dito? Roxas, Alejano, Aquino, Hilbay, Macalintal. Doon ‘yan sa amin. Magpunta ‘yan doon sa Lanao. Ah wala, putulan ko ng ulo mga ‘to. Walang kwenta mga tao. Wala namang nagawa para sa aming mga Moro,” he said.

    Duterte further pointing out to Roxas, called him a braggart due to questionable track record in public service.

    “Mar Roxas. Susmaryosep. Hambugero man ito...Sabi ko, tama ka na, Mar, yaya ka lang. Ewan ko kung gawain ninyong senador. Wala na ito. Napakita na niya. Kung 'yung kampanya ipinakita niya ang the best niya, hindi siya manalo kay [former Special Assistant to the President] Bong [Go], sa totoo lang,” Duterte said.

    “Ano mang nagawa ni Mar? Kayo tanungin ko kayo. Kayong nag-Liberal, magtanong lang ako sa’yo, anong nagawa niya? Ano ang nagawa niya naiwan niya sa bayan?," he added.

    The President also accused Roxas of political turncoatism for holding different Cabinet posts in previous administrations without any good track record.

    During Estrada administration, Roxas was the Trade secretary and then switched to senatorial race in 2004 under former President and now House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, then served as Transportation and Interior secretary under former President Benigno Aquino III.

    Nadaanan man niya lahat 'yan. Tapos porma. Ano ang nagawa niya? Bigyan mo ako isa. Maski isa lang,” he further said.

    He also drawn his attention to reelectionist Senator Bam Aquino, saying he only just shares an uncanny resemblance with his uncle the late senator Benigno Aquino Jr. with also questionable legislative record.

    “Bam Aquino. Alam mo maski ano ka, Bam, malayo ka sa... Kamukha ka lang. Pero ‘yung...Ano bang significant na nagawa mo? What have you done that is really impressive? Puro kayo oposisyon, puro kayo saway,” he said.

    Duterte also affirmed that Tañada, who is a member of the Liberal Party, was a leftist.

    “Erin Tañada? Left. And proud sila diyan sa left. They think that it’s popular. Kita mo kakapal ng mukha, nagawa pa ng ticket Otso Diretso?” he stated.

    Duterte likewise warned the voters against committing a mistake of voting Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano, citing the history of unsuccessful mutinies of their group led by then-Navy officer and now Senator Antonio Trillanes IV against the Arroyo administration, Duterte said Alejano had made no sense in his statements for pushing the chief executive’s impeachment.

    “Alejano, walang sense talaga magsalita. Marunong mag-English kasi PMAer eh. Lelechonin talaga ‘yan sila doon,” he said.

    Duterte said Diokno was nothing to the eloquency of his father, the late former Senator Jose W. Diokno.

    “Kalayo niya sa tatay niya. 'Yung si W. Diokno. 'Yun ang kuyaw. Pero ito, wala ito. Tignan mo magsalita. Wala. Walang ka ano. Maski mag-istorya siguro ito ng impyerno, masusunog kami doon. Kawawa naman kami kung... Hindi mo madala ang gobyerno,” he said.

    As for Macalintal, Duterte said: “Abugado ka lang kung may pera ka. Papasok diyan wala kang pera.”

    The President, on the other hand, skip to attack Marawi civic leader Samira Gutoc, the only woman in the opposition slate.

    “Si Samira, babae man ‘yan, ayaw ko magsalita diyan. Ang rule ay pagka babae kalaban mo, you just shut up. Samira Ali Gutoc. So I have nothing to say to you, ma’am,” he said.

    Meanwhile, with all the hurling of the President, VP Robredo admitted she felt happy as she treated this to gaining more public awareness.

    "Feeling ko the mere fact na Presidente na mismo ang pumansin, inisa-isa iyong mga kandidato, pagpapatunay na nagpi-pick up iyong mga kandidato. Magandang senyales," she said in an ambush interview in Bulacan.

    Robredo said it was the President’s choice not to be impressed by their bets. But she said, their candidates speak for themselves, saying it was the basis of how they were selected to be part of Otso Diretso.

    "Meron itong mga track record na pinanindigan. In fact, 'yun ang basehan bakit silang 8 ang napili," the Vice-President said.

    Contrary to the speech of the President, Robredo said 7 of the 8 Otso Diretso candidates have standing track record including Romulo Macalintal, Gary Alejano, Erin Tanada, Pilo Hilbay, Mar Roxas, Bam Aquino and Chel Diokno.

    The president, however is scheduled to attend another administration rally in Abra this Tuesday for his continual tour around the country to campaign for his ruling party. He had earlier attended the major campaign rallies in Bulacan, Cebu and Zamboanga.

    Bong Revilla supports death penalty for guilty plunderers

    Bong Revilla supports death penalty for guilty plunderers

    Manila---The actor-turned-politician and now running senator anew, Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. on Monday said that he supports death penalty punishment over guilty plunderers if it's the way to solve large-scale corruption.

    "Yung mga nagpa-plunder, yung nagnanakaw talaga sa bayan, dapat kung kinakailangang hatulan ng kamatayan para matigil na yan,” he told reporters during the Filipinos for Peace, Justice and Progress Movement’s (FPJPM) proclamation of support Monday.

    Revilla, was acquitted along with former Senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Jinggoy Estrada, of having accusations of embezzling P224 million in discretionary funds while they were still in their positions.

    With the prosecution's failure to prove that Revilla got kickbacks from his "pork" or Priority Development Assistance Fund, prior to the ruling of the Sandiganbayan First Division, he was cleared of the plunder case for which he was detained for four and a half years.

    He was detained at the Custodial Center of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Camp Crame, Quezon City from 2014 until his discharge in December 2018.

    However, he is still facing separate and ongoing pork barrel graft cases.

    Revilla was obliged to pay P124.5 million to the government as civil liability together with his former staff Richard Cambe and businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles, who were both convicted of plunder as insisted by the government prosecutors.

    Likewise, Enrile and Estrada's plunder cases are still ongoing. 

    The three former lawmakers are now seeking a Senatorial seat in May elections after being freed from jail.

    Meanwhile, Revilla also pointed out that false plunder accusers to also get the same punishment that he mentioned.

    “At dapat hatulan din, kumbaga, kasuhan din ng kamatayan yung mga taong false accuser. Kasi masama din yung nagbibintang ka rin ng hindi totoo,” Revilla said.

    He also expressed his sorrow of how he was falsely accused of plunder.

    “Papano naman yung mga katulad ko? Nahatulan ako na not guilty so papano naman yung nangyari sa buhay ko? Gaano katagal ako kinulong? Winasak ang buhay ng pamilya ko.”

    He also said earlier on his campaign sortie in Bataan that his political enemies, without mentioning their names, took away “10 percent” of his life.

    Revilla said that he has "forgiven" his political enemies the moment he was out of jail.

    Nung nakalabas ako, tinanong ko sa aking ama, sabi ko, ‘Daddy ano ba ang masasabi niyo sa mga taong nang-api sa atin, sa mga taong nanggipit sa atin?’ Ang sabi ng aking ama, ‘Anak, patawarin mo na sila,’” Revilla told in his speech in the sortie of the administration coalition Hugpong ng Pagbabago in Mariveles, Bataan.

    "Patawarin na natin sila, pero huwag na nilang uulitin, dahil kapag inulit pa nila yung ganon, mga ‘anak ng teteng’ sila,” he added.

    Revilla is currently running for senator under Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte coalition, the Carpio’s Hugpong ng Pagbabago party.

    Comelec officer says presenting of narco list candidates, an 'unfair and negative campaign'

    Comelec officer says presenting of narco list candidates, an 'unfair and negative campaign'

    Manila---The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) officer on Sunday said that it would be an unfair and negative campaign to present the names of politicians running on May elections, who were belonged to the narco list and having alleged involvement in the illegal drug trade.

    Negative campaigning yang ginagawa nila kapag nilagay nila sa listahan yan. ‘Huwag niyong iboto 'to ng mga taong kasi mga drug pusher ito.’ E di negative campaigning iyan. Unfair naman 'yun,” Comelec commissioner Rowena Guanzon said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.

    The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año earlier said the list of supposed narco-politicians will be released before the start of the campaign period for local candidates.

    “In due time we will release it. The start of local election campaign will be on March 30, before that period we will make public the list,” Año said.

    “We do not want those innocent to get involved in this. It would be unfair to them,” Año added.

    Año said the validation of the narco list is still ongoing wherein this week he is set to meet with Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) director general Aaron Aquino and Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) chairman Catalino Cuy to lay down the details of the release before the May midterm polls.

    Guanzon, on the other hand, suggests to the DILG and PDEA to file cases beforehand against the politicians who are clearly involved in drug trade prior to the releasing of the list.

    She further said the Comelec has the authority to disqualify a candidate who is validated to being involved of such crimes.

    “Kung ilabas niyo sana 'yan, dapat kinasuhan niyo.Pwedeng ilagay niyo, ‘Ito may mga kaso na laban sa mga taong ito for violating Dangerous Drugs Act. Pwede,” she said.

    Guanzon said it may be considered libel by listing politicians’ names who have not yet proven to be involved in the illegal drug activities.

    Under the Revised Penal Code, libel is committed when there is public and malicious imputation of a crime, or of a vice or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status, or circumstance tending to cause the dishonor, discredit, or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead.

    "You can do that maybe after the elections," Guanzon further said.

    However, Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez earlier clarified that negative campaigning that promotes the negative side of a candidate is allowed under the law.

    “Under the law, campaign propaganda is defined as anything that promotes the victory or defeat of a candidate,” Jimenez said.

    “So by that standard, ‘yung kandidato na iyon, his defeat or her defeat can be promoted. It is a campaign propaganda which is negative and that’s allowed, so there’s no violation,” Jimenez added.

    Last month, President Rodrigo  Duterte said he is open to the proposed release of the narco list in order to guide voters in choosing their right local bets.

    PDEA said they are prepared to heed the instruction of the President on the narcolist, the same with the DILG that they will put on the President's hand the instruction about its release.

    The latest data of the PDEA showed there are still 83 narco-politicians in the list as it is only the President who can approve the pending delisting of six individual candidates.

    DepEd clears graduation for Grade six accomplishers to continue this school year

    Manila---The Department of Education (DepEd) cleared on Saturday that pupils who will accomplish 6th grade is expected to continue graduation rites ceremony for school year 2018-2019, clarifying the initial released memorandum's falsity.

    In a new amended memorandum issued on March 1, it said 6th grade students will have graduation rites, in continuance to the long-held tradition. 

    "This memorandum clarifies that the end of school year rites for Grade 6 completers for School Year 2018-2019 shall be a graduation ceremony," read memorandum, signed by Education secretary Leonor Briones said. 

    DepEd also made an apology for the "inconvenience and confusion" it has caused to parents and students because of the earlier announcement and said that they will retain the accustomed policy.

    However, the falsehood memorandum dated February 18, 2019 released by the department, Briones said that only Grade 12 students (K-12 senior high school) should have graduation rites and be given diplomas as proof of completion.

    It also includes statement that students in the kindergarten level, 6th grade, and 10th grade, the equivalent of 4th year high school before shift to K-12 educational system should only have moving up or completion ceremonies and given certificates.

    For a long time, Filipinos accustomed to have graduation rites in their 6th grade and 4th year high school under the old 10-year basic education cycle, marking elementary and high school completion.

    But since the country shifted to a 12-year basic education cycle under the K to 12 (Kindergarten to 12 years) program, two more years were added to the education cycle in order to produce high school graduates ready for college or even employment, as they will finish basic education at age 18.

    The K to 12 educational program was the flagship education reform measure of the administration of former President Benigno Aquino III, implemented in 2013.

    For the yearender ceremonies of 2018-2019, DepEd said that schools should focus on the theme "Unity in Diversity: Quality Education for all" under the new memorandum.

    "This theme highlights the role of the K to 12 Basic Education Program in developing an educated society where the challenges and benefits of diversity are embraced and welcomed by every Filipino," Briones said.

    The memorandum also states that schools should conduct end of school year rites not earlier than April 1 but not later than April 5.

    The department's new memorandum was issued Order No. 002 s. of 2019 which now cites that graduation ceremony as applicable to Grade 6 completers contrary to the previous released.

    Meanwhile, public schools personnel also warned by the department that they are not allowed to collect any kind of contribution or fee for the benefit of school year rites.

    1 hour travel cut to 5 minutes 'THAT'S HEAVEN!'--- Duterte lauds NLEX Harbor Link opening

    Manila---As one of the administration's battle to ease traffic bottlenecks, President Rodrigo Duterte lauded the construction of the NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10, calling it 'heaven' as the travel period between Valenzuela to Caloocan will be cut from 1 hour to just 5 minutes.

    "Travel time between Valenzuela City and Caloocan, for example, will be reduced from one hour to about five minutes, "that’s heaven," Duterte said in his speech during inauguration of NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 and the groundbreaking of the NLEX-SLEX Connector Road Thursday.

    Duterte, who led the ceremony expects that the NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 will decongest major thoroughfares and improve linkages going to Manila Port as the lanes will be available to public transport on Friday.

    The NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10, a 5.65-km, six-lane road which traverses the cities of Valenzuela, Malabon and Caloocan is expected to divert  20,000 vehicles daily away from the central eye of Metro Manila.

    According to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the NLEX Harbor Link is seen to advance transport logistics as it will serve as an alternative southbound route to Metro Manila bypassing Balintawak Cloverleaf and EDSA which facilitates efficient delivery of goods as cargo trucks will have 24/7 direct access from the port area to the provinces in northern Luzon and vice versa via the NLEX.

    "The expressway is seen to improve accessibility and connectivity between key areas of Metro Manila and some provinces of Luzon via the North Luzon Expressway," DPWH secretary Mark Villar said in a statement.

    In line with this, Duterte expressed his will that the administration is committed to its 10-point socioeconomic agenda, living in the bayanihan spirit and strong sense of nationhood.

    "This will definitely improve access and mobility in the area and result in greater socio-economic gains for our industries and communities. I am hopeful that the remaining portions of the NLEX Harbor Link Project will be completed within the next two years," Duterte said.

    The construction of 2.7-kilometer Segment 10 Exit Ramp to Radial Road (R-10) is currently ongoing to extend NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 up to R-10 using Circumferential Road 3 (C-3) as its route.
    Segment 10 Exit Ramp to R-10 is targeted to be completed in January 2020.

    The DPWH said the full construction will further reduce travel time from NLEX to Manila Port Area in Manila to only 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, simultaneous with the full opening of the NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 was the commencement of the two-year construction of the P23.3-billion NLEX-SLEX Connector Road Project which will be started in May this year.

    The NLEX-SLEX connector road is eight kilometers, elevated, and with four lanes. The expressway extends the NLEX southward from the end of Segment 10 along C-3 Road Caloocan to the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) in Sta. Mesa, Manila and connects to the Skyway Stage 3, mostly along the Philippine National Railways (PNR) track.

    The expressway is expected to reduce travel time between NLEX and SLEX from two hours to just 20 minutes and between Clark, Pampanga and Calamba, Laguna from three hours to just one hour and 40 minutes.

    Likewise, travel between the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and Clark Airport will improve and will benefit around 35,000 motorists a day.

    "Identification of right-of-way requirement and most of acquisition activities were completed hence the earlier as planned start construction activities for the NLEX-SLEX connector road project," DPWH secretary said.

    Duterte, also expressed his gratitude for the people behind the construction and the Filipinos who will benefit the most.

    "All of the projects that we undertake and will do for the rest of my term, [we] give our gratitude to the builders, to the contractors, the partners of government and we place it in the name of the people of the Republic of the Philippines," he said.

    "Nobody can claim credit in the name of the people, it is their money and for all of us," he added.

    The conglomerate Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPTC) bagged the contract to build the P23.3-billion connector road.

    “NLEX Harbor Link Segment 10 and NLEX Connector are just some of Metro Pacific’s expansion projects geared towards providing further convenience to motorists and bringing more opportunities in nearby cities and provinces,” MPTC president and CEO Rodrigo Franco said.
