Dami masyadong paandar ni Ate Gurl. 🙄

Govt: Weighing things out. Doing its best.
Post by Tio Moreno
Frontliners: Pagod na kami. Give us a break. Balik tayo ECQ. 😭
Business leaders & economists: No! We have to keep the economy open so we can provide resources.
Govt: Weighing things out. Doing its best.
Anti-govt: Mag rally tayo, let our voices be heard. Mag rant tayo sa twitter #OustDuterte Incompetent ang gobyerno! Freedom of speech & expression!
Imagine they hated Duterte when he declared lockdown last March because people need to work. They defended ECQ violators and protesters because they need to go out “kasi gutom sila.” Now, they hated Cynthia Villar because she wants the economy open to provide the needs of the people since the government’s coffer is not infinite.
“As a rule, man is a fool. When it's hot, he wants it cool; When it's cool, he wants it hot. Always wanting, what is not.” - Benjamin Disraeli
In the Philippines—- anti-government by nature is a fool. When it’s lockdown they’re angry, when ECQ was lifted, they’re still angry. They are consistent for being angry and they’re consistent on their inconsistency.

Netizen's reaction to Maris Racal
Post from Tio Moreno
Hello Maris Racal,
I just wanna let you know that when I was in the 4th Grade, my Heograpiya Kasaysayan at Sibika (HEKASI) teacher already taught me about the 3 branches of the Philippine gov’t. These are: Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary.
We were also taught to remember that these three branches have a separation of powers wherein legislation belongs to Congress, execution to the Executive, and settlement of legal controversies to the Judiciary.
The Executive is composed of the President & Vice President. The Constitution grants the President authority to appoint his Cabinet.
The Legislative branch is divided into the Senate and the House of Representatives. They are authorized to make laws, alter, and repeal them.
The Judiciary is made up of the Supreme Court and the lower courts. This branch will tell you about the controversies involving rights and this identifies whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the gov’t.
That being uttered, we can say that the government can MULTITASK.
Cases in point:
*COVID is handled by the Executive.
*ABS-CBN franchise renewal is handled by the Legislative
*Maria Ressa’s Cyberlibel case is handled by the Judiciary
These all happened iN tHe miDdLe oF pAnDeMic. And I don’t know why you put all the blame to the President 🙄
Just because there is corona virus doesn’t mean they need to stop with their functions. If we will follow your idea, then you are saying that we should not jail violators, we should not sanction terrorists, we shouldn’t allow lawbreakers to be held accountable on their mishaps because we need to focus on COVID19. If you don’t know what the government has done to combat COVID19, please review this link from Day 1 and thank me later: www.covid19.gov.ph
A graduate from PBB house can’t do this and I am pretty much sure you’re not aware of that.
Maris, I was in the 4th grade when I learned how the government works. How I wish we were classmates back then so I can give you free tutorials. Mag aral ka please, dami mo ng pera kaso lang bobita ka 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Opinion: Freedom Of Speech in The Philippines
Post by Krizette Laureta Chu
Sabi nila kaya daw ayaw nila yung anti-terrorism law because they will have no freedom of speech and they will be arrested just for protesting.
The Anti Terrorism Law took effect a week ago, and the government can start arresting IF their premise were true.
Awa ng Diyos nakaka pag rally pa rin sila.
So... mali kayo, or sinungaling kayo? Two choices only.

Palace to Pangilinan: Dare Congress, not Duterte, to pass anti-political dynasty bill
Luminous by Trixie Cruz-Angeles & Ahmed Paglinawan reacts to Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan"
Conflagration. Kanina munting paso lang. Ngayon tila third degree burns. Kakaibang tama rin naman sa isip ang hamunin ang pangulo na itulak ang anti dynasty law.
Una, haller? bakit di nila ginawa o tinulak nung panahon ni Noynoy? And let's not forget ANO GINAWA NI MRS. AQUINO nung presidente siya. Di ba ideals nila ang isinaksak sa 1987 constitution? Pero hindi rin niya inicertify as urgent yang batas against dynasties. Baka nganaman magtampo ang mga Sumulong, Cojuanco, Aquino etc.
Ang tagal nang dekorasyon lamang ang probisyon na ito sa saligang batas, tapos for some reason, si Duterte may kasalanan dahil hindi pinapasa ang enabling act nito?
Pangalawa, eh hindi ba senador ka? Trabaho mo yan. Unless willing kang aminin na you don't have the political werewithal, means, or even motivation to do that.
Really, Senator Pangilinan, what were you thinking?
