A lawyer lectured Karen Davila after the Kapamilya journalist tweeted about her complaints to President Rodrigo Duterte fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Yesterday, Davila complained about how President Rodrigo Duterte publicly criticized Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon and ABS-CBN during his SONA.

According to her, it’s not the right time for the President to threw criticisms.

“No senator or private company deserves to be mentioned at the opening of the President’s SONA. This is about the state of the country, where we are, where we are going, not about personal vendettas or feelings. People are hungry and jobless. People are looking for inspiration,” said Davila.

Atty. Nick Nañgit reacted to Davila’s tweet, asking why the latter was seems trying to lecture the President on what he should say during his SONA.

He also asked Davila if she’s really listening to the speeches of Duterte as the latter also discussed about the state of the country.

Nañgit then called Davila ambitious for trying to tell what President should say.

“1. Ayaw mo sa opening, so saan ba dapat ilagay ng Pangulo ang pangalan ng senador o pribadong kumpanya? Sa bandang huli ng SONA? Sagot!”

“2. Hindi ba estado ng bansa ang inilahad niya? Nakinig ka ba ng husto o mas inatupag mo ang guhit ng iyong kilay na pabagu-bago bawa’t episode mo bilang blogger? Sagot!”

“3. Inspirasyon ba kamo? Teka, saang manual o libro nakasaad yan o kung ano ang dapat nilalaman ng SONA? Ikaw na ba ang Pangulo, para magsabi kung ano ang pwede at hindi pwede? Wow, ambisyosa ka, teh! Di ako na inform. Sabagay, baka nga Pangulo ka na sa Twitter nation”

The post of Nañgit reached 1,700 reactions as of writing.

Yesterday, President Duterte mentioned Drilon and accused the senator of defending the Lopezes.

“In an interview, [Drilon] arrogantly mentioned that oligarchs need not be rich then he linked the Anti-dynasty system with oligarchy and the topic was my daughter and son,” the President said.

“This happened after the committee of franchises voted 70-11 to deny the grant of franchise to ABS-CBN…Obviously [Drilon] was defending the Lopezes that they were not oligarchs.” he added.

As a response, Drilon said that he’s not defending the owners of the Kapamilya network.

“I was defending freedom of the press, not the Lopezes. The closure of the ABS-CBN sent a chilling effect,” said Drilon.

“As I said before, for democracy to thrive we need free press and to allow journalists to exercise complete freedom to do their mandate of reporting facts without fear,” he added.

A bus company decided to remove half of its seats after they received a hefty fine from the City government of Valenzuela.

Malanday Metrolink Bus Corp. was caught overloading passengers despite the 50 percent capacity rule imposed by IATF in Metro Manila.

The bus company was charged by 462,000 pesos for the said violation.

Metro Manila is still under General Community Quarantine (GCQ).

To prevent another incident of overloading, Malanday decided to dismantle 50% of its seats.

“Metrolink buses now…chairs removed to prevent the temptation to overload,” Gatchalian said.

The action of Gatchalian received praise from the netizens.

“Nasa nature na kasi natin na kung ano meron at pwede kahit bawal ay gagawin. Kaya ok na ang tanggalin ang upoan para sa ganun iwas temptasyon,” netizen Jan Espiritu said.

“Good job po mayor,tama lng po gnawa nyo kc sa mga bus mga nwawala na po tlaga social distancing.sabi pa matirang matibay nlang.nkakatakot isipin.lalo na ngaun dumadami ung cases,” Yam Mee Rosell remarked.

However, some residents fear that the recent decision of the said company might affect transportation in the said city.

“Sana po Mayor, we can able to add more busses po to cater the number of passenger na sa dami ay dikit dikit na po sa pila. lalo na po sa malanday bus stop grabe po ang pila and pagdaan po ng bus from bulacan eh puno na po tlga. Sana po magkaroon pa ng another bus line na mag route ng malanday -mcu para ndi din po ganun kahirap ang pagsakay,” netizen Ikel Soledad commented.

Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon responded to President Rodrigo Duterte’s accusations against him during the latter’s fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA).

On Monday, Drilon said that he’s not defending the owners of television network giant ABS-CBN and only trying to protect freedom of speech.

“I was defending freedom of the press, not the Lopezes. The closure of the ABS-CBN sent a chilling effect,” said Drilon.

“As I said before, for democracy to thrive we need free press and to allow journalists to exercise complete freedom to do their mandate of reporting facts without fear,” he added.

Drilon pointed out the importance of ABS-CBN in the midst of the pandemic.

“In the face of a pandemic, we need more access to information. I aired my support for the renewal of franchise ob ABS-CBN because undeniably the network complements other stations in providing timely and accurate reportage even in the farthest locality unreachable to others, even to the government,” he said.

The senator also said that he’s defending the 11,000 employees that would be affected by the shutdown of ABS-CBN.

“I was defending the 11,000 people and their families who would lose jobs amid the pandemic, not the Lopezes,” he said.

Duterte, mentioned Drilon several times during his SONA, saying that the latter was a defender of the Lopezes.

“In an interview, [Drilon] arrogantly mentioned that oligarchs need not be rich then he linked the Anti-dynasty system with oligarchy and the topic was my daughter and son,” the President said.

“This happened after the committee of franchises voted 70-11 to deny the grant of franchise to ABS-CBN…Obviously [Drilon] was defending the Lopezes that they were not oligarchs.” he added.

Netizen writes open letter to Nikki Valdez who criticizes Duterte: “Mas pipiliin mong mag-operate ng illegal ang network mo para sa kapakanan mo kesa sa respetuhin ang pangulo”

A netizen wrote an open letter to actress Nikki Valdez after the latter criticized President Rodrigo Duterte in a lengthy Instagram post.

Yesterday, Valdez who admitted that she voted for President Duterte in 2016 expressed disappointment to the chief executive for prioritizing the shutdown of ABS-CBN.

Netizen Noel Landero Sarifa came to the rescue and responded to Valdez’s criticisms as detailed as possible.

Sarifa showcased the contribution of President Duterte in the country.

The netizen also questioned why Valdez thought that the President was loyal to China instead of the Philippines while Filipinos were benefiting to the projects of the government and not the Chinese people.

Sarifa also explained why the government prioritized the anti-terror bill.

He then pointed out that ABS-CBN was not forced to shut down, but the Congress only rejected the franchise extension of the broadcasting network giant.

The Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) was also giving thousands of jobs to the Filipinos according to Sarifa, so he’s questioning why Valdez wanted to close down the said companies in the Philippines.

Here’s the whole letter of Sarifa:

“Nikki..nikki..nikki.. Unang-una nagkaroon na ng boses ang simpleng mamayan, naandyan ang sumbungan ng bayan na 8888-hotline, naandyan yong emergency hotline natin – 911, meron pa tayong office of the president na pwede natin sulatan or tawagan sa ating problema, naandyan din ang malasakit center na handang magbigay ng medical assistance. So yes, salamat sa boto mo at nagkaroon ng boses ang ordinaryong mamamayan.”

“Paano mo nasabing nasa China ang katapatan ng Pangulo? Sa China ba sya nagptayo ng mga tulay at kalsada? Sa China nya ba pinapatupad ang pagtaas ng sahod ng sundalo, pulis, teacher at mga nurse? Mga chinese student ba ang binigyan ng free tuition at free wifi? ang pagkakaibigan ba sa China ay sukatan ng katapatan? Bakit sa panahon ni Pnoy nawalan tayo ng Isla? At bakit sa panahon ni Duterte nagkaroon ng bilateral agreement para hindi na umusad ang pagsakop ng China sa WPS?”

“Bakit hindi uunahin ang anti-terror bill? Dekada na ang hinihintay ng mamamayan para mabigyan sila ng proteksyon laban sa terrorista? Hanggang kelan mo paghihintayin ang taumbayan? Hanggang kailan mo hahayaang may map*tay nanaman ang mga terrorista?”

“Inuna ang pagsasara ng ABS-CBN? kusang nag-expire ang franchise, bilang mandato, kapag walang franchise dapat hindi na pwede mag-operate? Anong sinabi mong pinasara? Bukas pa ang ABS-CBN binawi lang ng gobyerno ang pinahiram na frequency dahil expired na ang prangkisa, at ayun sa hearing sa congress hindi na sila qualified ulit na bigyan ng panibago, hindi kasalanan yun ng pangulo.”

“Nanatili ang POGO? Panahon pa ni Gloria yang POGO na yan, so mas ok sayo alisin ang POGO na 37,000 Pilipino ang mawawalan ng trabaho? Bakit mo pinag-iinitan ang Pogo e ginagawa na nga yang legal kasi illegal yang nakakapag-operate before. Ngayong pinakikinabangan na ng taumbayan gusto mong isara? Ano klaseng pag-iisip yan?”

“OO, ito ang plano nya sa Pilipinas, may boses ang mamayan, may pagkakasundo sa mga ibang bansa hindi naghihikayat ng giyera, ipatupad ang batas, gawan ng maayos na pamamalakad ang mga illegal na operasyon na business sa bansa para mapakinabangan ng taumbayan hindi ng iilan lang. So sana, makita mo yan, magpapasalamat ka bakit sya ang binoto mo, pero hindi e, mas pipiliin mong mag-operate ng illegal ang network mo para sa kapakanan mo kesa sa respetuhin ang pangulo at ang saligang batas.”

President Rodrigo Duterte gave the telecommunications company a time limit until December to fix their service.

In his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Duterte mentioned the two biggest telecommunication companies in the Philippines, Globe, and Smart, saying that he’s already living in the country for a long time, but the service of the two giants didn’t change.

He warned the two telecom companies to comply on his order or else he would make a way to close them.

“Ang Smart pati Globe, ilang taon na ito? At ang sagot palagi sa akin, ‘cannot be reached’. Saan napunta ‘yong yawa na ‘yon?If you are not ready to improve, I might just as well close all of you. We’ll revert back to line,” said Duterte.

“The patience of the Filipino people is reaching its limit and I will be the one to articulate the anger of the Filipino people… Kindly improve the services before December… I want to call Jesus Christ to Bethlehem, better have that line cleared. Kayo ang may pera, p**** tapos you give us half-cooked deals, lousy service,” he added.

As a response, Globe CEO Ernest Cu said that they’re doing their best to improve their service, citing that they spent $1.2-B which goes to network and capacity builds.

Cu also mentioned the challenges they’re facing especially the long process of building cell sites.

“We have been experiencing long-drawn permitting process across LGUs, HOAs, and national agencies in our cell site build and laying down of fiber to homes, but we are positive that with the policies being enacted by the DICT, we will be able to fast-track builds of telco towers for a more robust connectivity and internet services for every Filipino,” said Cu.

Filipinos repeatedly complained about the slow internet service in the country.

However, the telecom companies vowed to do what they could to improve their services to the people.

According to the Ookla Speedtest Global Index for February 2019, the Philippine internet speed showed an improvement of 143.74%.

 

President Duterte wants to revive the capital punishment by lethal injection

President Rodrigo Duterte wanted to revive capital punishment to stop the shabu problem in the Philippines.

During his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA), Duterte urged Congress to pass the revival of lethal injection in the country.

“I reiterate the swift passage of a law providing the death penalty by lethal injection for crimes specified the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002,” said Duterte.

When no one clapped inside the Batasan Pambansa, Duterte quipped that the lawmakers might not interested in his proposal.

After noticing that no one clapped, the lawmakers started to applause.

The President then explained the problem of shabu in the country.

Duterte asked why that shabu trade was still being done inside the national penitentiary like what’s happening to other countries like Colombia and Mexico.

The President also explained how a family can be destroyed if one of their members got hooked by shabu.

“When the family starts to crumble, there’s no more home. The wife will look for another husband or for a job, usually sa abroad. Ang mga anak, iniiwan sa kapitbahay o kapatid,” Duterte said.

Capital punishment in the country was ended in 2006 and the inmates who were originally lined up to lethal injection were commuted to life imprisonment.

In 2016, President Duterte made the revival of capital punishment as one of his campaign promises.

Duterte originally supported capital punishment by hanging.

Some bills calling for the revival of capital punishment have been pending in the Congress.

 

President Duterte slams Sen. Drilon and ABS-CBN : “I am a casualty of the Lopezes during the 2016 elections.”

President Rodrigo Duterte slammed Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon and the Lopez family during his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday.

The Senator received a special mention from President Duterte accusing the former of defending the Lopezes.

“In an interview, [Drilon] arrogantly mentioned that oligarchs need not be rich then he linked the Anti-dynasty system with oligarchy and the topic was my daughter and son,” the President said.

“This happened after the committee of franchises voted 70-11 to deny the grant of franchise to ABS-CBN…Obviously [Drilon] was defending the Lopezes that they were not oligarchs.” he added.

The President pointed out how media was being used by the ‘oligarchs’ to control the politics in the country, claiming that he’s one of the targets of the Lopezes in the 2016 elections.

“Media is a powerful tool for the hands of oligarchs like the Lopezes, who use their media outlets to battle political figures. I was a casualty of the Lopezes during the 2016 elections,” Duterte said.

Duterte criticized ABS-CBN several times and even vowed before not to let the broadcasting network giant renew their franchise.

He accused ABS-CBN Chairman Emeritus Gabby Lopez of stealing his money.

“Gabby Lopez, I paid ABS-CBN P2.8 million…You accepted my money, you never bothered to show my propaganda (political advertisements). After the elections, you didn’t return the money,” Duterte said in a past speech.

However, ABS-CBN officials denied that they intended not to air Duterte’s advertisement and apologized to the President.

Last week, Drilon challenged President Duterte to dismantle the real reason of oligarchy in the Philippines, the ‘anti-dynasty law.’

“You cannot equate rich and oligarch, meaning it does not mean that if you are rich, you are on oligarch. An oligarch is the one that influences the decision of the government or the one using their political power, their wealth in order that the policy that they want to protect their interest will be pursued,” Drilon said.

The senate minority leader was reacting to President Duterte’s announcement that he dismantled an oligarchy without declaring martial law after the Congress decided to reject ABS-CBN’s franchise application.

President Duterte’s three children were currently elected in different positions in Davao City.

In 2018, President Duterte said that they were “forced” to rule Davao City.

“Ayaw ko ng dynasty, but we are forced,” he said.

 

Nikki Valdez expresses disappointment to President Duterte: Binoto kita, pero bakit inuna mo ang pagpapasara ng ABS-CBN?

Kapamilya actress Nikki Valdez couldn’t hide her disappointment to President Rodrigo Duterte after the House of Representatives junked the franchise application of ABS-CBN.

In an open letter, Valdez admitted that she voted for President Duterte in 2016, hoping that the former Davao City mayor would bring change to the country.

“Mula nang ako’y naging registered voter, sinigurado kong gamitin ang boto ko para magluklok ng mga pulitikong tingin ko ay makakabuti at gagawa ng mabuti para sa ating bansa,” said Valdez.

“At noong 2016, oo binoto kita Pres. Duterte pati ang pamilya ko. Sa paniniwalang magkakaboses ang maliliit na tao na sinasabi mo noon na dadamayan mo. Nakita namin ang kasimplehan mo na kahit presidente ka ay abot na abot ka ng mga tao. Nakita namin ang political will mo,” she added.

She even said that despite the issues faced by the President, they kept believing in him.

“Ni hindi nga namin pinuna ang pagmumura mo. Lagi ko sinasabi sa sarili ko tao ka lang. Nagkakamali. Pero makalipas ang 4 na taon ng pagsubaybay sa mga ninais mo para sa bansa, ano po ang nangyari?” she said.

“Ultimo ang Santo Papa, minura mo, pinagsalitaan ng kung ano ano, nawala ang respeto mo sa mga kababaihan kahit may mga anak kang babae, inuna mo ang personal na galit at paghihiganti kaya ganon na lamang ang kawalang bahala mo sa mga totoong pangangailangan at problema ng ating bayan,” she added.

However, after four years, Valdez said that she realized the failures made by the administration, including how the administration decided to allow the Chinese to enter the country despite what’s happening to Wuhan.

She even asked if the President’s allegiance was in China already because of his recent decisions.

Valdez also questioned why the administration prioritized the anti-terror bill and the shutdown of ABS-CBN, while they’re not closing down the controversial Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).

“Bakit di mo agad pinasara ang ating bansa sa China kahit alam mo nang sakanila galing ang sakit na pumap*tay sa libo libong tao ngayon? Bakit nasa China na ata ang katapatan mo?” Valdez asked.

“Bakit inuna mo ang Anti Terror Bill? Bakit mas inuna mo ang pagpapasara sa ABSCBN at pagkitil sa kabuhayan ng libo libong empleyado pero nanatili dito ang mga POGO? Ito ba talaga ang mga plano mo para sa Pilipinas? Ano nanaman kaya ang sasabihin mo bukas? “Joke lang?”” she also said.
