Robin Padilla dares the public to be army reservist: “Imbes na araw araw kang nagrereklamo ABAY kumilos ka para makatulong!”

Actor Robin Padilla urged the public to join the army reservist to serve the country instead of complaining about the actions of the government.

In a social media post, Padilla said that some people wanted to start a revolution despite the fact that the current problem of the Philippines was also being experienced in most countries.

According to him, instead of waking up every day to complain, criticize the government, and be busy in politicking they should try serving the public.

“Hindi ko na talaga batid kung san hindi magkaintindihan ang mga Pilipino. Ramdam na natin lahat sa ating mga tahanan ang unti unting pagkalimas ng ating mga savings at hindi ito problema lang natin buong mundo ang suliranin na ito kayat imbes na mabuhay at magising ka araw araw sa pagrereklamo at kakabatikos ABAY kumilos ka para makatulong at mapakinabangan una ng sarili mo, mga pamilya mo at ng Inangbayan,” said Padilla.

“Hindi ito ang oras ng pamumulitika! Ito ang oras ng pagtulong sa gobyerno maging ano man ang kulay mo. Isaksak niyo sa baga niyo at puso niyo na ang pinag uusapan ngayon at ang nakataya ngayon ay ang SURVIVAL ng ating LAHI at INANGBAYAN PILIPINAS. Join the Reservist “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,” he added.

Lolit Solis makes a frank comment to Jennylyn Mercado: “Choose your battle, hindi iyon sali ng sali”

TV host and showbiz columnist Lolit Solis gave her comment on the issue between Jennylyn Mercado and former Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Deputy Administrator Arnell Ignacio.

A few days ago, Ignacio who’s a known supporter of President Duterte gave advice to Mercado who became vocal on giving comments about politics.

“Payo lang, wag niyo na pasukin ang hindi ninyo linya. You have very successful careers dahil mahusay kayo sa linyang pag aartista,” said Ignacio.

“Do not ever think the power of popularity will instantly translate into mastery of the political jungle.
Wawasakin ninyo mga careers ninyo,” he added.

Solis in an Instagram post said that she’s not siding with anyone, however, she gave an advice to the Kapuso actress that she must be careful about giving comments about issues.

“Wala ako gusto kampihan, siguro iyon lang dapat sa mga artista natin lalo pa nga at bawat sabihin nila madali pick up at isulat, medyo dahan dahan sa issues. Tama, dapat vigilant, dapat may boses, pero pag sa lahat sinalihan mo wala ng premium iyon boses mo, ordinary na lang,” Solis said.

“Kung ako si Vinia dapat iyon ituro niya kay Jennylyn , choose your battle, hindi iyon sali ng sali. Dapat pagsali mo, wow, matutuwa ako dahil ang taas ng premium mo, at iyon pagsali mo sa issue ko nakatulong. Pero iyon basta banat ng banat lang, iyon na nga, tama si Arnel magiging para kang aktibista na salita ng salita dahil lang anti ka kaya hindi mo nakikita iyon kabilang side. Sino ba gusto gayahin ni Jennylyn Mercado, si Angel Locsin?” she added, referring to columnist and publicist Vinia Vivar who defended Mercado in her column.

According to her, if Mercado wanted to be like Locsin, the actress should also start to help other people.

“Ilan na ba nabigay ni Jennylyn Mercado na PPE, face mask o face shields? Nagpakain na ba siya ng mga Frontliners tulad ni Marian Rivera ? Pinuntahan na ba niya mga drivers na nagugutom? Unahin niya iyon, huwag iyon puro twitter o facebook ang ginagawa niya, at pagtatanong, ayaw ni Arnel Ignacio,” she said.

Mercado defended her decision to be vocal on some issues about politics, saying that she’s also a taxpayer and it’s her right to air her opinions freely.

“May qualification ba dapat bago ka magkaro’n ng karapatan na magkomento sa mga isyung panlipunan? Hindi ba sapat na mamayan ka ng Pilipinas at nagbabayad ka ng buwis? Bakit kung kailan pandemya na lahat tayo ay apektado saka ang iba ay pilit na pinatatahimik?” she wrote.

Naloko na! online sellers got lured by face shield scam

After the Department of Transporation (DOTr) announced that they’re going to require commuters to wear face shield starting August 15, some online sellers saw it as a business opportunity.

Yesterday, social media became full of online sellers looking and offering face shields.

Some of them are even ready to shell out 10,000,000-20,000,000 pesos just to buy millions of face shields online.

However, some people who only wanted to earn money by looking for the cheapest face shields available in the market were victimized by online scammers.

Netizen Zoralliane Cuenca shared that one of her friends got victimized by an online scammer selling face shields for 19 pesos per piece.

According to the conversation shared by the netizen, her friend paid 200,000 pesos as a downpayment for 500,000 pieces of the face shield.

However, no face shield arrived and now they’re planning to trace the scammer.

Her friend is only one of the thirteen people who reported the said online scammer to the police station after paying the said amount.

There was also a chain post circulating on social media that warned online sellers not to believe the big-time buyers of face shields.

According to the post, some sellers of face shields are trying to convince the netizens that the supply of the said items are already running low because of its high demand.

However, the author of the post questioned why the big-time buyers or face shields are looking for supplies online instead of directing to suppliers.

Another netizen Rica Reyes Molina also shared another incident of face shield scam.

You can read the post below:

“Babala at Opinyon”

“Masyadong high demand ang Heng de Face shield ngayon. Mapapansin nyo 200k, 2M, 500k pieces. Seryoso?”

“Sa mga nais magbenta ng face shield alamin nyo po ang Law of Demand and Supply. Kapag mataas ang supply mababa ang demand, at kapag mataas ang demand mababa naman ang supply.”

“Halimbawa, bumili ka ng 200k pieces kuno ng face shield 25 each that’s 5M pesos puhunan at ibebenta mo ng 35 each. Then apply the Law of Demand and Supply madami ang supply at may kayang magbigay ng 25 per pieces at un na ung puhunan mo talo kana agad.”

“Nangyari to sa disposable face mask. 250 pesos per box 50 pieces ang laman. At dumami ang supply ngayon 125 per box nalang. Paano naman yung nakabili sa 200 na puhunan lugi na agad.”

“Sa online selling parang bidding. Mas affordable mas mabili.”

“At sa mga seller BEWARE sa mga nagtatanong ng 200k, 2M, 500K pieces. Mataas ang possibility na scam un. 200k x 25 = 5Million pesos. Kung ikaw may puhunan na 5M bakit di ka nalang dumirekta sa supplier mismo.”

“Again “PERA NYO PO YAN” isa lang po akong nagmamalasakit at nagpapaalala na kabarangay nyo.”

Experts already warned the netizens to be careful of doing transactions on social media.

 

Lawyer to Pilo Hilbay slams asking the government to let VP Leni takeover: “Talagang atat na atat ang mga talunan!”

A lawyer criticized defeated senatorial candidate and former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay for asking to let Vice President Leni Robredo lead the government.

In a tweet on August 4, Hilbay who participated to #LetLeniLead campaign said that the administration should transfer the leadership to Robredo while the government is waiting for a vaccine.

“If your policy is “wait for a vaccine” then, in the meantime could you pls also hand over to the Vice President the reins of the government?” said Hilbay.

“With minimal resources, she has provided food, medical assistance, supplies, transpo, relevant info, even shelter. So, pwede ba #LetLeniLead,” he added.

As a response, a vocal lawyer supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte, Attorney Nick Nañgit made a lengthy post to criticize Hilbay for being too excited to make Robredo the chief executive.

He even asked if Robredo would create a miracle vaccine to end the pandemic once she leads the government.

“Talagang atat na atat ang mga Büg0k na talunan na paalisin ang tunay at pangmalakasang hinalal na Pangulo ng taumbayan, para paupuin ang pinagdududahang nanalong bise dahil sa Smartmagik!” said Nañgit.

“Hoy mamang kalb0, kapag yang aleng yan ba ang uupo e hindi na tayo mag “wait for a vaccine”? May sukbit ba siyang vaccine na lulutas sa veerus? May solusyon na ba siya na hindi alam ng buong mundo?”

“Aba, nakaka-elib naman na ang hindi marunong mag elementary arithmetic na yan e may solusyon pala na nangangailangan ng malalim na kaalaman sa medicine, chemistry, atbp. Amazing ghorl?! Kung wala siyang solusyon, anong pinuputak putak mo???”

Nañgit pointed out the government were doing their best to assist the people affected by the pandemic and investigate any corruption happening.

“Hindi ba’t nagbigay na ng pagkain at pera ang mga LGUs, kahit may mga ilang anomalya na iniimbestigahan na rin? Hindi bat’t may medical assistance at supplies sa mga public hospitals? Hindi ba’t inatasan ang mga pribadong kumpanya, bilang tugon sa Bayanihan law, na mag-provide ng sarili nilang transportasyon para sa kanilang mga empleyado, kung hindi kakayanin ang WFH arrangement, at ito’y kailangan nilang sundin hindi dahil sa pagmamalupit ng pamahalaan kundi bilang solusyon sa pagpapahinto ng pagkalat ng veerus? Hindi ba’t may mga quarantine facilities na itinayo na, at ito’y sinagot ng pamahalaan o kaya’y kaakibat ang pribadong sektor?”

“Pwes, ano ang ginawa ng aleng yan na hindi pa nagawa ng pamahalaan? Kung may mga donasyon sa kanya, may mga donasyon din sa pamahalaan! At saka teka, hindi ba’t bahagi siya ng pamahalaan, kahit ibang partido siya?! Bakit sa tabas ng dila mo e parang hindi siya kasama sa sistema? Ano, may sarili ba kayong republika? Onga pala, may Twitter Nation na raw,”

Nañgit then told Hilbay that their noisy way of criticizing the government made the people lose their trust them

He even accused Hilbay of pushing for Robredo’s presidency so they could corrupt the public funds.

“Ngayon, yung iminumungkahi mo ba e naaayon sa Saligang Batas? Dahil hindi kaya ng ngawngaw ninyo na mabawasan ang tiwala ng taumbayan sa Pangulo, kahit apat na taon na kayong nagpapakalat ng kasinungalingan, ipinipilit naman ninyong magkusang loob na lang siya na ibigay ang posisyon ng pagka-Pangulo sa aleng yan? Bakeeet? Para ano?”

“Para masolusyunan ang veerus? Leche! Wala nga kayong solusyon o bakuna eh, yun pang pagpapatakbo ng iba’t ibang sangay na kumplikado! Sa totoo lang, para maibalik ninyo sa poder ang mga kakosa ninyo at maulit ang mga katiwalian o mapagtakpan ang mga nalantad na katotohanan!”

The post of Nangit reached 2,100 reactions and 282 shares on Facebook.

Jim Paredes reacts on PhilHealth issue: “How can you steal from people who are sick?”

Legendary OPM artist Jim Paredes slammed the corruption allegedly happening in Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).

In a series of tweets, Paredes gave his opinion over the revelation of the anti-fraud officer Thorsson Montes Keith that some officials of PhilHealth allegedly pocketed P15-B from the contribution of its members.

“And I am sure no one will go to jail,” Paredes said.

He also called the PhilHealth officials as ‘shameless’ for the alleged overpricing of the IT upgrades of the said corporation.

Paredes who recently became a topic on social media then said that no words could describe how ‘evil’ the people corrupting the money of PhilHealth.

“How can you steal from people who are sick and/ or dying? There are no words to describe how despicable and evil these Philhealth thieves are,” he stated.

Paredes is a known vocal critic of the Duterte administration.

PhilHealth denied the accusations of Thorsson against the company, saying that the latter only wanted to get a higher position.

“Atty Keith was hired as a job order contractor to do staff work under the Office of the President and is in no position to discuss office matters being in the Corporation for only 9 months. His malicious claims not substantiated by evidence were obviously made to malign officers that rejected his ambitions for higher offices which he is not qualified for,” the PhilHealth statement read.

Meanwhile, the Palace said that President Rodrigo Duterte would only fire PhilHealth President and CEO Ricardo Morales if there’s enough evidence of corruption against the retired general.

Vice Ganda slams Philhealth corrupt officials: “Pagdusahin. Pakainin ng ta* ang mga yan!”

Kapamilya’s top comedian Jose Marie Viceral popularly known as Vice Ganda couldn’t stop himself from commenting on the current issue being faced by some officials of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Philhealth).

Viceral, who’s a vocal supporter of his home network expressed frustration on the allegations that some officials of the said corporation pocketed P15-B for their own gains.

According to him, the corrupt officials of Philhealth should face consequences like feeding them droppings.

“Parusahan ang mga magnanakaw sa Philhealth. Ikulong! PAGDUSAHIN. Pakainin ng ta* ang mga f*t*enang yan! Pagsama samahin ang lahat ng laway ng mga may sakit at ipainom sa kanila. Walang kompa-compassion sa mga demonyo! Sumakit tuloy ang ulo ko! Akin na ang Saridon!” said Ganda.

Former anti-fraud officer Thorsson Montes Keith revealed the alleged fraudalent activities of some high officials of Philhealth before a Senate investigation.

“Naniniwala po ako na ang perang winaldas at ninakaw ay humigit kumulang ₱15 billion. Naniniwala po ako na ang dahilan kung bakit hindi natatapos ang korapsyon sa PhilHealth at naging kultura na po nito, ay ang pagtatalaga ng mga sindikato o mafia ng kanilang kasamahan, kasabwat o kapwa sindikato sa mga matataas na posisyon na nakakatulong sa kanilang iligal operasyon,” said Thorsson.

Meanwhile, officials of Philhealth denied the allegations of Thorsson.

“The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) categorically denies in strongest terms that its senior officials have “pocketed” some P15 billion as alleged by Thorsson Keith during the Senate hearing on August 4, 2020,” the corporation statement read.

“Atty Keith was hired as a job order contractor to do staff work under the Office of the President and is in no position to discuss office matters being in the Corporation for only 9 months. His malicious claims not substantiated by evidence were obviously made to malign officers that rejected his ambitions for higher offices which he is not qualified for,” they added.

 

Lilipat na? Kapamilya journalist Karen Davila sets to appear on TV5

Kapamilya journalist Karen Davila was set to appear on TV5, almost a month after the House of Representatives rejected the franchise application of ABS-CBN.

According to columnist Jun Lalin, Davila is going to appear at the pilot telecast of TV5 show ‘Usapang Real Life’ with Luchi Cruz-Valdez.

News reports said that ABS-CBN’s News & Current Affairs head Ging Reyes allowed Davila to appear on TV5 because the former personally knows Cruz-Valdez.

It was reported that Davila already had her taping at the TV5 journalist’s home.

Davila was also rumored to instead of Cruz-Valdez, Davila was going to take over and interview the host instead.

They’re set to talk about their personal experiences about the personal and professional lives.

Aside from Davila, other Kapamilya celebrities were also reportedly set to appear in TV5.

Despite the appearance of Davila, it’s not yet known if the Kapamilya journalist would choose to transfer to TV5 just in case that she would face the same fate as his colleague Ces Drilon who just recently became part of ABS-CBN layoff.

Davila is one of the most vocal defenders of ABS-CBN.

The Kapamilya journalist even criticized President Rodrigo Duterte’s fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) after the latter openly criticized ABS-CBN and its owners in his speech.

“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.

 

Writer explains why Duterte is the “best President the country has ever seen”

A writer explained to the critics of President Rodrigo Duterte why it’s impossible for the chief executive to think about corrupting the money of the country.

In a social media post, Krizette Laureta Chu said that President Duterte, who’s already 76 years old, had no reason to create an opportunity to corrupt public funds by increasing the debt of the country.

According to her, time may be more important than money for an old man like the President.

She also believed that Duterte is the “best President” of the Philippines because the chief executive was only focused on working and really showing his love to the people.

However, Chu also stated that Duterte also faced the “worst opposition”.

Here’s the post of Chu:

He doesn’t need to do anything more because he’s too old to run for a political position next election—he only wants to serve.

This is the thing the Opposition wants to downplay. At 76, the most precious thing for a person that age is TIME, ask your lolo. Money cannot buy you time. You say he’ll steal money from the debt we’re incurring, para saan? This guy is giving his twilight years to serve us. Konti nalang ilalagi nya sa mundong ibabaw(mga 200 years na lang), he is not in his position to steal, or to gain more power.

All he wants is to serve. And I see it by the way he works hard. Yes, the response to the pandemic is not perfect, but this government tries hard, without pretensions and with transparency.

The President listens when you appeal to him. Yesterday, the doctors wanted an ECQ. In the next day, he makes it happen.

Walang cordon cordon.

The President works hard, and has our best interests at heart.

The President loves the people. His IATF recommends 10,000 additional allowance and life insurance for those in the frontlines (this has to be discussed.)

This President is the best President the country has ever seen, too bad he came at a time where we have the WORST Opposition. Imagine if we have him, and we had what New Zealand has—mature opposition.

I can say this with a straight face: THERE HAS BEEN NO PRESIDENT IN THIS COUNTRY WHO LOVES HIS PEOPLE THE WAY HE DOES.

WALA AKONG PAKI KUNG AYAW NYONG MANIWALA. Lol

The post of Chu already reached 21,000 reactions as of writing.
