When Salomon also believes that the people who hung the controversial tarps are the “media” and “activists” who wanted to destroy the image of President Rodrigo Duterte.

“Ang sabi ko kay Kuya Inquirer…

Reporter:”Madaling araw pa may naglagay dito sa poster na ito? Bakit naglakas loob ka tanggalin?

Me”..Ako ay ordinaryong Filipino kung sino man naglagay nito ay tanungin ang sarili? Tama ba ito?.. Kung may karapatan ka maglagay ng poster pero “Maling” impormasyon, may karapatan din ako “i-Tama” ang mali.. Kung ilagay mo I love Philippines, sa tingin mo tatangalin ko??”

Reporter:”..Sino sa paningin ko ang naglagay??..”

Me:”..Who cares? Kung alam ko na mali ay basta gagawin ko ang tama.. At tingin ko kagagawan ng fake media at mga aktibista.. Kung may nagastos ka sa paglagay mo ay hanapin ako at babayaran ko pagawa mo.”

The post of Salomon received thousands of likes and shares from the netizens. He also received praise for his bravery to remove the tarps.

Because of the post of Salomon, some netizen suspected that the media were the one who placed the tarps along Metro Manila to create another issue against the government.

After the announcement of Vice President Leni Robredo that she would lead the opposition, Liberal Party President and Senator Kiko Pangilinan wrote a series of tweet dedicated to his political ally.

On July 10, Pangilinan praised Vice President Leni Robredo and even labeled her as the leader of the Philippines,.

“Si Vice President Leni Robredo ang chairperson ng Partido Liberal. Siya ang lider ng ating partido. Siya ang lider ng ating bansa.” Pangilinan said in his tweet.

“Ang binubuo nating opposition coalition ay nakasandig sa kanyang pamumunong mapagkalinga, mapagpalaya at nananagot.” he added.

He believes that the Vice President Leni Robredo would be the best person to fight the policies of the Duterte administration.

He even showcased the success of the “Angat Buhay” program of the Office of the Vice President, saying that Robredo already gave P252-M to 155,000 families, an average of 1625 pesos for each family.

“Kahit na walang posisyon sa gabinete, nakahanap siya ng mga katuwang mula sa pribadong sektor upang makapagpaabot ng P252 na milyong halaga ng tulong para sa 155,000 na pamilya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang programang Angat Buhay.” Pangilinan said.

Pangilinan was also saddened by the statements of President Duterte saying that VP Robredo is “incompetent.”

“Nakakalungkot ang mga salitang binitiwan ng Pangulo, lalo na’t hindi totoo ang mga ito, at dahil lalong lumilihis ang mga ito sa mga pangunahing isyu na kinakaharap ng mga Pilipino araw-araw.” he said.

He also listed some of the failures of the Duterte administration according to him.

This tweets of Pangilinan didn’t receive well by the supporters of President Duterte and the Liberal Party President’s posts has been swarmed by criticisms.

Netizen @musicmansaxman challenged Robredo to visit the OFWs around the world to prove that she’s the real leader of the Philippines.

“Leader ng bansa? Puntahan mo mga ofw kagaya ng ginagawa ni DU30 tingnan natin kng may papansin ba sa leader na sinasabi mo!” @musicmansaxman said.

Netizen @randzAlegre said that the Liberal Party is now doing the same strategy that they’ve used to put former President Cory Aquino in Malacanang.

“History repeat itself, LP asked Leni to run just like what happened to Cory when Ninoy died. Hoping filipino will not commit the same mistake. The very loophole of our own constitution is we let these incompetent leaders with incompetent political party run our country.” @randzAlegre  remarked.

Netizen @Rhoda Angelica questioned Pangilinan’s “lider ng bansa” label to Vice President , citing the questionable victory of the Robredo in the 2016 elections.

“Sya ang lider ng atng bansa? Bkit presidente b xa? E isa lng nman xang “PRESSUMPTIVE VP”…on doubtful p ang pgkapnalo nya, Wg km utuin nyo. IncompetentVP.” @Rhoda Angelica said.

Netizen @albertsanfelipe also asked Pangilinan why the Liberal Party is busy in trying to destroy the government instead of helping it.

“Sir @kikopangilinan bakit po gusto niyo ng gulo sa bansa natin. Bakit di niyo nalang po tulungan ang ating presidente. Kesa gumagawa kayo ng walang kwentang mga bagay na di nakakatulong sa ating bansa.” @albertsanfelipe told Pangilinan.

@ReyPangilan, @francene_143 and, @GeovaniAMartine also questioned if the Angat Buhay program of Robredo is a real success. He pointed out that it P252-M will only give a little help to 155,000 families.

“250M pesos DIVIDE by 155K na pamilya EQUALS = 1,625.80 Pesos kada Pamilya. So Tulong na iyan pra sa inyo ang 1625.80 Pesos kada pamilya. Araw2x? lingo2x? Monthly? Yearly? Ba yan na tulong? Pki explain nga dahil e-Divide pa yan on the average n 1 family.” @GeovaniAMartine said.

Pangilinan didn’t chose to reply to his critics.

On Tuesday, Robredo announced that she’s going to lead the opposition coalition that would oppose the policies of the Duterte government.

Following the announcement of the Vice President, Duterte said that he’s not going to resign just to give his position to Robredo because he believes that she’s incompetent.

Several netizens noticed that several tarpaulins with the words “Welcome To The Philippines, Province of China” suddenly appeared along Metro Manila.

The tarps were hung during the second anniversary of the international tribunal ruling favoring the Philippines’ claims over the South China Sea.

Former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay posted one of the tarpaulins on his Twitter page, and he said that the tarp is not “funny.”

He urged the members of Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Local Government Units and civilians to immediately take the tarpaulins down if they saw one.

“NOT FUNNY. On this day, July 12, we commemorate our victory in the Philippines v. China. On Metro Manila footbridges, these tarps suddenly appear. MMDA, LGUs, and citizens should immediately take these down.” Hilbay said.

Some netizens also took a photo of the tarps.

It’s not yet known why the tarpaulins were hung along Metro Manila.

President Duterte is known for being close to China and even joked before that he wants the Philippines to become a province of China.

“Gusto ninyo gawain na lang ninyo kaming province, Fujian pati Philippine province of China, eh ‘di wala tayong problema,” Duterte told Filipino-Chinese businessmen in a speech in February.

Meanwhile, Journalist Malou Tiquia believes that the critics of President Rodrigo Duterte placed the tarps as part of the destabilization against the government.

According to her, the tarps were made to mock Duterte, and it was also an attempt to made the public angry to the administration as the 3rd State of the Nation Address of the President is already near.

“A malicious operation done by a group supposedly to instigate fire and anger among Filipinos. Mocking Duterte and the sensibilities of all, ensuring noise reach high decibels for a grand march during SONA. All these lead up to a No El scenario since Duterte will be removed October. If not, “Duterte will surely call for Martial Law.” Tiquia said in her Facebook post.

“This is the present day opposition. Reckless and no regard for country. And someone said, “Duterte destroyed the economy Aquino built.” Had to look hard at that person. Really hard…” she added.

“Sinabi naman namin eh importante rin ang oposisyon sa demokrasya. Pero good luck po, at sana po ay malinaw na ang papel ni Leni Robredo dahil nitong kailan lamang po eh parang nag-a-apply muli siya sa gabinete ni Presidente. So, ngayon at least mayroon na siyang desisyon na sa oposisyon na siya at hindi na siya umaasa na makapasok muli dito sa gabinete ng ating Pangulo,” ani Roque.

Villars abandon Las Piñas twice over as Em joins DOJ

By

Residents of Las Piñas City are now left without a representative in Congress after the lawmaker chosen to be their “caretaker” was appointed to the Department of Justice.

DIWA party-list Rep. Emmeline Aglipay Villar has been appointed as Justice Undersecretary, the agency announced Wednesday (July 10) in a press release.

Emmeline became the “caretaker” of the lone district of Las Piñas after her husband, Mark Villar, was appointed to head the Department of Public Works and Highways in 2016.

Mark won his re-election bid before becoming a Cabinet Secretary.

Las Piñas is known as the turf of the Villars. Its mayor, Vergel Aguilar, is the brother of Senator Cynthia Villar.

The House leadership has yet to announce which politiko will assume the “caretaker” role for Las Piñas following Emmeline’s departure from Congress.

De Lima wants to make use of child car seats mandatory

By

Detained Senator Leila de Lima has proposed a measure requiring every private vehicle to install child car seat system to protect children from getting injured or killed from vehicular accidents.

She filed Senate Bill No. 1862 which amends Republic Act No. 8750, also known as “Seat Belts Use Act of 1999,” to address a legislative gap in the law that is only designed to protect adult passengers.

“Aside from the seat belt requirement, motorists of privately-owned vehicles are now required to install and to use child restraint system for infant and young children passengers,” she said.

Based on a Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) report, an average of 667 children–ages 14 years old and below–died in road accidents from 2006 to 2015.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), the use of child restraint systems can reduce deaths among infants by approximately 70% and among small children by between 54% and 80%.

It also claimed that the use of child restraint system can change up to 80% on the risk of injury for children aged 0-4 in a rear facing restraint, while children aged 0-4 with only a seat belt can change the risk of injury only by 32%.

De Lima, a grandmother of two, noted that under RA 8750, drivers and passengers are required to use seat belts while children below six years old are prohibited from sitting in front seat of a vehicle.

However, the law only protects adults since regular seatbelts are not designed to protect infants and young children from injuries or death due to sudden stop or vehicular accidents.

“Infants and children need a more specific type of design to protect them during a collision because a seat belt will not prevent trajectory or injuries,” De Lima said.

“Notwithstanding the child being secured in a child restraint system, at no instance shall he or she be left unaccompanied by an adult in a motor vehicle,” she added.

Under her proposed measure, only children from six to 12 years old are allowed to sit in front of vehicles, except when the child is at least 150 centimeters in height and capable to properly fit in the regular seat belt in the front seat.

SBN 1862 proposes for higher penalties on violators ranging from minimum fine of P100 to P1,000 for the first offense and to P500 to P2,000 for the succeeding violation.

“This is in response to news reports that according to the Land Transportation Office, the most frequently committed traffic violation in the years 2013, 2014 and 2016 is non-compliance with the Seat Belts Use Law,” De Lima said.

De Lima was detained at the Phil. National Police Custodial Center in February 2017 on drug charges.

Magaling siya! Kiko defends Leni’s leadership after Duterte’s tirades

By

-

Senator Francis Pangilinan defended the leadership of Vice President Leni Robredo after President Rodrigo Duterte said she is “incompetent” and would be unfit to lead the country.

Duterte’s scathing criticism of Robredo came hours after she declared she was willing to lead the opposition. Pangilinan underscored that the opposition being formed “revolves around her compassionate, empowering, and responsible leadership.”

“Her declaration to lead this coalition only formalizes what has been her role since her election into office two years ago: a stabilizing balance to those in power and their mistaken policies and their abuse of the people’s trust that put them in power,” Pangilinan said in a statement Wednesday (July 11).

”Now, amid the naked rule of force, utter disrespect for life, and abandonment of the people, especially the poor, Vice President Leni is the voice of reason, calm, and sobriety,” he continued.

The President said Monday he would resign next year to give way to a new president who would oversee the transition to federalism if a new constitution is ratified.

However, he clarified yesterday evening in an ambush interview with Palace reporters that he would not be resigning to make way for Robredo to take the helm, but would want an election for a new president to take his place.

Jesus Is Lord Founder Brother Eddie Villanueva and President Rodrigo Duterte met in Malacanang, several days after the latter slammed some accounts on the Bible and mocked God during some of his speeches.

During their dinner meeting at the Malago Clubhouse in Malacanang on July 10, 2018, President Duterte explained his controversial remarks to Villanueva, saying that his only criticizing the God of his critics and not the God of everybody.

“If you review the tape, I said that my God is good, has common sense and does not create trouble for my country,” Duterte told Villanueva.

Duterte also apologized to God if the people misunderstood him and generalized his controversial statement.

The President also pointed out during the meeting that there’s a separation between the Church and State.

“You can criticize us anything at all, from the garbage collectors to the Generals and even to the Vice President and Senators, but never use the name of God as a front to attack the government, because that is not the proper way to do it,” Duterte said.

Villanueva also advised President Duterte to apologize directly to God which the latter agreed.

Duterte also explained that the religious people who are busy in criticizing him instead of doing good deeds to other people are the one who made their own concept of their “God”.

“If you feel that somebody is doing it wrong and invoking the name (of God), hey guy you just talking about the wrong God or that is it not God that is my God,”   Duterte said.

Finally, President Rodrigo Duterte said that he would apologize to God, but not to his critics who used God to criticize his policies in the government.

“I only apologize to God, nobody else,”

He also believes that his God would forgive him for what he said.

“He (God) would really happy to listen to my apology, why? because my God is all forgiving, why? because he does not remember past hurts, why? because God created me to be good and not to be bad,” Duterte said at the end of his speech.

Brother Eddie Villanueva is one of the religious leaders who slammed President Rodrigo Duterte for his controversial remarks and he demanded that the latter should apologize directly to God.
