They say that a majority of OFWs support Duterte. But their numbers actually grew through the years. If they really believed in him, ngano wala sila ni uli to help?

I really don’t understand.

10M for the maker of ‘Totoong Narcolist’ and only 500k for Peter Lim.
Inciting sedition charges for the maker of ‘Totoong’ but no libel cases for the Narcolist.

This government is focusing more on its image than actually trying to solve problems.

Actually if you have evidences against Peter Lim. You can always go to PDEA. They will help you.

I actually reported a local drug peddler, PDEA took action eventually, although not the fast, even the PDEA head called me and offered to even talk to me in person if I'm scared of talking on the phone.

The drug peddler is nowhere to be found. Thanks to this admins war on drugs.

Again, if you have actual evidence you can always go to PDEA. Like I did.

Standard and Poors Rating Mechanism.

https://www.standardandpoors.com/en_...ourceId/504352

Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings*


AAA An obligation rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA An obligation rated 'AA' differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is very strong.

A An obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.

BBB An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C Obligations rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC', 'CC', and 'C' are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. 'BB' indicates the least degree of speculation and 'C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposure to adverse conditions.

BB An obligation rated 'BB' is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

B An obligation rated 'B' is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated 'BB', but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

CCC An obligation rated 'CCC' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

CC An obligation rated 'CC' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The 'CC' rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.

C An obligation rated 'C' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.

D An obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or 30 calendar days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it is subject to a distressed exchange offer.

*Ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.

A VERY small chunk compared to the contributions they can make here. 2.3M people paying taxes, spending, and generally contributing to our society. It seems like they dont believe in Duterte enough to go home.

That was happening even before Duterte came. Amo cousin ako gi-report sa PDEA saona kay niabot ug point na mangunay na siya. They still took action. PDEA was already working way before Duterte came.

I don't know much how much they could offer if they were their.

Do you happen to have a comparison?

If they stayed here and payed taxes than them being overseas.

On receiving money from the CIA. tsk2x

Reject and expose foreign intrusion in Philippine media
BY THE MANILA TIMES

MAY 03, 2019

HOME / OPINION / FROM OUR READERS / REJECT AND EXPOSE FOREIGN INTRUSION IN PHILIPPINE MEDIA
(Statement of the National Press Club of the Philippines on World Press Freedom Day, May 3, 2019)

ON the occasion of the celebration of the World Press Freedom Day on May 3, 2019, the National Press Club of the Philippines (NPC), its affiliated media organizations all over the country, as well as other national media organizations committed in upholding genuine press freedom and the practice of journalism anchored on the Journalist’s Code of Ethics, hereby issue this statement. This is in the light of recent revelations that have clearly compromised the nobility of journalism as a profession and its graver consequence, the stability of Philippine democracy.

For a very long time now, the NPC has been accused and vilified by its critics and even by our more “respectable” colleagues from the profession of being “corrupt” for allegedly engaging in all sorts of unethical practices; its members and officers they derisively describe as “below standard” media practitioners.

The NPC, its affiliated media organizations and the other national media organizations present today, are fully aware of the complexity of the problems plaguing the profession. But continuously inspired by the notion of creating an environment conducive to the practice of a free but responsible and credible press, we are addressing these problems individually and collectively, one problem at a time.

However, we recognize that today, there is a far urgent and pressing problem that needs to be exposed and to be fought against by all the component members of the press — if Philippine media, as an institution, is to survive, regain the trust of our people and contribute in the promotion of national unity and the strengthening of our democracy.

And here, we are referring to the fact that for many years now, other media organizations are directly receiving money from foreign sources to fund their activities, particularly from front organizations identified with the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and from non-government organizations (NGOs) based in Europe.

From the now available facts, we refer to Rappler, Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR), Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) and, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), as direct beneficiaries of foreign largesse running in the millions of pesos each year.

The issue of the legality and constitutionality of such sordid practices aside, they are ethically indefensible and morally reprehensible.

For how does one defend the fact that while these groups, collectively and individually, fatten themselves from the millions of pesos they regularly receive as paid partners of foreign interests, thousands more — the rest of us — remain mired in poverty and financial difficulties as we daily fulfill our obligations and responsibilities as “journalists.”

For those involved, if what they did is not only media corruption at its worst (that can also be labeled as “treason”) we do not know what it is.

Yes, press freedom is now “under siege” in the Philippines, as these groups regularly tell us. And now we know why.

Our press freedom and by extension, our democracy, is under siege and now in deep crisis not because of Malacañang and its alleged “repression” of the press.

Philippine media is now in deep crisis because, some in our midst—unfortunately those who styled themselves as God’s gift to our profession—have wittingly and knowingly committed the worst form of corruption when they started accepting what amounts to bribe money from foreign interests.

In exchange for money, they have bastardized the practice of our profession through their distorted and one-sided presentation of “facts” on a host of issues on a daily basis. The result is a people divided, a government unable to focus on its job of good governance and a profession — our profession — fast losing its credibility and standing as a pillar of our democracy.

And so, as we join in the celebration of the World Press Freedom Day, we call on all self-respecting members of the Philippine media not to lose hope. Let us turn this adversity into opportunity!

Rally behind the National Press Club!Together, we shall be able to cast away these foreign puppets in our midst who have greatly damaged the name and prestige of the media profession in our country!

Wakasan ang pagkukunwari sa hanay ng media! Ibandila ang katotohanan!

Onward towards the struggle for a free and responsible press!

Mabuhay ang malayang paamahayag!

OFW -
Income tax - exempt
Remittance tax - 0 - 1.5%
VAT - only based on what is sent
Serves the foreign community and economy

Philippine worker
Income tax - based on tax table
VAT - for the most part, on all spending
Serves the Philippine community and economy

We dont need exact figures to figure out which is more beneficial.

I don't think this is right, sorry.

It's because the money sent here made by the OFWs outside the country, are still spent here, at least majority of it are spent here.
Money is coming in and spent here, I think that is good for the economy and the families.

[firestarter]

OFWs are subjected to large cost of living expenses. This significantly decreases the money they can send here. Compare that to when they work here. 100% of the work goes to the Philippine economy save for BPO companies.

Wait, you actually think it is wise economic planning to encourage more OFWs? That we should be encouraging our citizens to go abroad?

I don't agree with you sorry.

Where are you getting at, by the way?

Wait, you actually think it is wise economic planning to encourage more OFWs? That we should be encouraging our citizens to go abroad?

This is a funny question...

Wala gyu'y makalabaw sa ka 'workaholic' aning presidentiha!

You cant disagree with facts and logic. What Im talking about isn't opinion. It is a fact.

Im simply getting to based on where you started. The word "remittances". I did not touch on the financial aspect of OFWs first, it was you who brought it up.

Funny but difficult question right? Kay you know answering it lands you in the wrong as to this topic

Have you ever been an OFW? If so I think you would understand.

That is why I don't agree with you.

Appeal to emotion

You cant disagree with facts just because they hurt your feelings. Mao nang dili jud ko mutuo na kusog kaayo ug support ang OFWs ni Duterte. Wala ni reflect sa ila actions. Kutob ra sa sturya ila support.

lol. You don't get what I mean really. Unsay hurt feelings oe?

Mao bitaw ako ingon if you were never in the OFWs shoes, mag lisod kag sabot, nganong mo support silang digong.

It usually boils down to money, and opportunities, and resulta makabenefit ra gihapon ang economy.

[firestarter]

Asa man kuno ko sayop? You know Im right. You just want to disagree kay you hate being proven wrong. Mao nang appeal to emotions nalang ka. I dont need to be in their shoes. The data and the logic is there. They support Duterte in words, but not in actions.

The admin failed in this aspect. They failed to convince people to come home. That is evident in the increase of OFWs.

Ahhh padung diay ka diha.

You are bashing this admin for failing to make people come home? Was that one of the admins campaign promises? -- I've heard him say it but I don't think that was a promise though. It was more like an aspiration and a vision. But in anyway.

Your argument is that OFWs do not contribute to the Philippine economy?
