BRACE for shrinking pandesal- headline. Baka next year kasinlaki na lang ng jolen. The reason: Your neighborhood baker is saying he is reducing the size because there’s spike in prices of ingredients. Ano say ninyo Malacanang? Let’s discuss more about food security. Malapit yan sa sikmura ng tao. Not only discuss but look for solutions.
Vice President And concurrent Secretary of the Department of Education Sara Duterte Carpio wanted a full face to face classes in late August this year. In the meanwhile, the Department of Health reported a 44% surge in daily Covid infections. Pili kayo mga magulang kung saan kayo panig.
Also the VP ordered schools not to require uniforms for students. I think it is more expensive this way for parents. Well anyway they can also go to ukay ukay and ripped jeans are in abundance.
Former Department of Finance Secretary Sonny Dominguez is talking sense when he that a borrower should make sure that the economic returns will be higher than the cost of loan. Minememorize pa ba naman yan? But that’s not the issue Sec. Sonny. The issue is the fact the government is borrowing money for projects and weren’t completed but the money were already spent and a great part of those loans stuffed the pockets of those people who have sticky fingers. Review what happened to the Exim Bank loan for the North Railway project. It was covered by a government guarantee and me and you are still paying through our taxes.
If you are reading this article, you should be informed that your debt is P112 K, courtesy of the government debt of more than 12 trillion pesos, mostly incurred during Duterte’s administration. Remember the controversies on the Ayuda,
PhilHealth funds, vaccine purchases etc etc under Digong’s watch?
When you rightsize a workforce , the giving of pink slip to excess personnel can’t be avoided. Please don’t pull our legs that there will be no retrenchment. Right sizing aside from transferring employees where they rightfully belong inorder to achieve a lean and mean organization it also mean offering of a plus plus bonus for their retirement. The question is if government agencies have the money for such purpose.
If not asking too much may we request both the Philippine National Police Highway Patrol group to frequently patrol our highways, particularly Macarthur Highway and apprehend road violators. Or maybe place more checkpoints on strategic areas and keep checking papers and documents of drivers. I have a feeling those drivers who learned of an existing checkpoints don’t proceed on their travels. Ibig sabihin noon wala silang lisensiya. And worse bikers, trike and kolong kolong drivers sometimes are engaging cars into a race. That’s dangerous. Land Transportation Office officials mag trabahado naman kayo. Pwede?
Kudos to our friend Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo who seemingly is taking his job seriously. He delisted 4Ps beneficiaries and save the government P15 billion. Imbes na ibigay yan na ayuda sa talagang hindi naman mahihirap, give it to farm cooperatives. Government should provide more farm machinery, ice cold storage and palay redrying plants. If that’s done, then money will be put into good use.
