ug edukado na tanan, puros nalang manikas lol


pero sakto, isa sa priority ang edukasyon

[peewee_toot]

^^i dont think so. ky edukado na mn, dali ra sila ka distinguish kung gi ilad ba sila o wala. kung sa campaign period pa, dili dali ma dala ang mga tao sa sweet words...

if mahitabo mn gani nga edukado na ang tanang voters, i doubt if magdala pa og mga artista ang mga mo dagan during campaigns.

I have a small business and somehow BIR has gotten worse. Sorry but I don't feel any improvements w/ anti-corruption since PNOY became president. He just wants us to hear what we want to hear in his SONA. But I still hope he can do better.

Here's an article that reflects a situation of small businesses in this country:

Here comes the bribe
By: Conrado R. Banal III
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Our leader Benigno Simeon (aka BS) just told the whole country that his administration made the grade in its anti-corruption campaign.

I am not sure that such an opinion on his own virtues was up to him to make. It was a bit awkward. OK, it was downright self-serving.

Based on news reports, however, big business seemed to agree with BS that he was doing a good job in fighting corruption.

Nobody can blame them for wanting to be on the good side of BS. They would never want to be next in line in the raucous media rampage of the BIR, for instance, against supposed tax cheats.

It is also possible that, in talking about the success of the Aquino (Part II) administration, those in big business were referring to the “corruption” in the past.

Surely, the Aquino (Part II) administration has been busy digging up dirt of the previous cute administration. This actually summed up the anti-corruption campaign of BS. Period.

It is as if, in this country, all the bribery and all the stealing in the government only happened during the cute administration of Gloriaetta.

Nobody in the present Aquino (Part II) administration so far was punished for corruption. We all know it still existed in the past year. The word “bribe” is still very much in use today.

All BS had to do was to take a good look at the BIR. Some bureau personnel have been harassing small businesses all over the country.

In the past year or so, some BIR personnel have been telling small businesses that they have to increase their tax payments by at least 20 percent.

Why was that? Well, 20 percent was the internal target set by the bureau for the increase in its total collection. Thus the target should apply to every small business (i.e. not big business, OK) across the board automatically.

The problem was that many small enterprises could hardly make enough business to justify such a big jump in their tax payments. Ah, basta, they had to increase their tax payments by at least 20 percent, or else…

From what I gathered, those crooked BIR personnel applied the same rate of at least 20 percent increase in tax collection on their “under the table” arrangements.

Was the anti-corruption drive of BS really a big success? Not to the guys down here, I do not think so. Not to the “bosses” of BS!

Based from PNOY's speech, one would immediately think 1-B ang nagastos sa PAGCOR sa kape in 1 year, or a single purchase of coffee worth 1-B. Our PNOY has been giving us half-truth approach in that part of his speech. Actually his speech is more like a propaganda instead of straightforward reporting. I am not saying that his speech has no truth in it. What I am saying is how he played w/ words to make his speech a propaganda type of speech.

Actually the 1-B cost covered 9 years of operation involving all 13 PAGCOR branches, not to mention that 1 year of the 9 years was under his administration! Naunsa! Let's do the math:

1-B divided by 9 years, divided by 365.25 days, divided by 13 branches is 23,400 pesos of coffee per day kada PAGCOR branch. Now let's assume cost of a cup of coffee is 60 pesos. That would mean 390 customers served w/ coffee per PAGCOR branch a day. Bit expensive but sounds realistic isn't it? Now compare this explanation to just by saying "1-B ang nagasto sa PAGCOR sa kape". See the difference? That is what I mean about half-truth approach in propaganda.

Yes, w/ that supposed expose, uncovered was the over-pricing of coffee but that was peanuts to the issue of emphasizing a cap limit on their coffee spending. There you go! Problem solved! And he could have imposed it last year w/o mentioning it in his SONA. pero saunz hilig man ug propaganda si BS. Just like his allies in the biased media...

According sa Sona ni Noynoy mas gamay raw ang gigutom ron kaysa niadtong president si GMA.

it was very clever to use the word "wang-wang" to refer to any anomaly in the gov't
