The real underlying cause of deaths in epidemics is the dysfunctional health care system brought about by chronic socio-economic underdevelopment characteristic of a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society victimized by imperialism, not the loss of vaccine confidence due to the “Dengvaxia scare”.
Lieutenant General Noel Clement, the newly appointed AFP chief of staff and Central Visayas police chief Brigadier General Debold Sinas have bloody records during their stint in the Visayas region.
"With this ruling, we are hopeful that the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth will come out and that not only will it decisively and ultimately impel Indonesia to make her reprieve permanent or free her by any legal or political means, that all the perpetrators of the misery she went through will be made to pay, but also that this precedent will contribute to providing succor to many others who will be victims of circumstance and injustice which can all be traced from our economic and social ills."
"We hope our politicians learn their lessons and look closely at the plight of the poor. We are Filipinos.”
Netizens also did not take sitting down the news of the government’s procurement of Gulfstream G280, a P2 billion worth jet that would fly President Duterte and other senior government officials.
Of the proposed P4.1 trillion national budget, P43.6 billion is allocated to the Department of Agriculture, an 18-percent increase from P36.7 billion last year. But one wonders, how much pesos will find its way to small farmers like Centino and Ortiz?
The group noted that the so-called fact-finding team formed by the Education department did not even visit any of the 54 campuses.
The initiative also calls attention to the preponderance of non-solutions to climate change being floated in global conferences that are supposed to find solutions.
Ayon sa kanya, ang pinuno ang dapat na maglilingkod sa mga tao, at hindi ang tao ang maglilingkod sa mga pinuno – ang pinuno ang dapat na mag iisip sa kapakanan ng nakararami bago ang sarili.
But it seems that the train breakdown and what appears to be a mass transportation crisis are here to stay. LRT officials said our station will not resume its operations in at least nine grueling months. It is the news that will change my life and the lives of more than 220,000 other passengers.
The group estimates that the government will displace more than half a million urban poor families by 2020 to give way for its infrastructure projects. This, Kadamay said, makes the Duterte administration as the “biggest violators of housing rights of the urban poor.”
Kung sinusubaybayan mo ang balita, alam mong humihingi ang Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) sa gobyerno ng humigit-kumulang P430 milyon. Dahil sa napakalaking halaga nito, alam ko na ang nasa isip mo: “Kaninong bulsa na naman kaya ang tataba dahil dito?”
"Among those who should be investigated are those who freed convicted criminals, the ninja cops, those involved in pocketing public funds under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program of the National Task Force, and, most importantly, Duterte's sell-out of the country's sovereignty and patrimony.”
“It's the low salary that is pushing teachers to go out in the streets and protest.”
Neri Colmenares, NUPL chairperson, believes that the case against Duterte is strong. “First, he publicly ordered the killings... Second, he refuses to be investigated. Third, the government does not submit evidence to the ICC.”
Sa gitna ng namuong galit sa maraming tao (malamang kasama ka rito), may dalawang bagay na baka nakaligtaan: (1) Nangyari ang GC hindi kamakailan lang kundi ilang taon na ang nakalipas; at (2) Bago ikinalat ang GC sa social media, matingkad ang usapin ng hazing hindi sa UP kundi sa Philippine Military Academy (PMA). Kaya may dalawang pundamental na tanong sa puntong ito: (1) Kung ang GC ay nangyari noon pa, posible kayang nagbago na ang dating hindi katanggap-tanggap na perspektiba ng mga sangkot sa isyu? (2) Sa kasalukuyan, sino ang makikinabang kung ang pampublikong atensyon sa isyu ng hazing ay mapupunta hindi sa PMA kundi sa UP?
Sa mahabang panahon, naging simbulo ang mga kampana ng karahasan at pagnanakaw ng pagkakakilanlan na kaakibat ng digmaan. Isang kabalintunaan ang naganap na pagsasauli ng mga kampana nitong nakaraan nang ipahayag ng mga opisyal na salamin ang pagsasauli ng 'natatanging pagkakaibigan' ng Amerika at Pilipinas. Hindi naging pagkakataon ang seremonyal na pagbabalik upang mapwersa ang Amerika na humingi ng kapatawaran sa mga ginawa nitong karahasan sa Pilipinas, na ginagawa ng ibang bayang nasa antas ng rekonsilyasyon matapos kaharapin ang pait ng digmaan.
