Marcos admin's gross borrowings at Php3.2 trillion so far over just the Jul-22 until Nov-23 period...

... with over Php2.3 trillion going to debt service (interest payments & amortization).

This'll be wrong no matter how many times it's repeated because, well, it isn't true.

Over four decades of this mistake has left PH economy weaker & worse off.

Where, in the end, buying foreign electric vehicles will most of all be paid for by drivers paid low wages & working longer hours, and by commuters paying higher fares.

Poverty appears lower compared to when the economy was locked down. But poverty’s actually been growing since first semester 2018 and has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. Gov’t shouldn't ignore this and can do more.

Here's problem w/ having business-oriented folks heading economic policy -- 'Go’s aim: Philippines as top investment destination'.

This is economy for investors & profit, not the people & devt

Econ team's aim should be: 'Decent lives for all Filipinos'

BAYAN chairperson Teddy Casiño filed civil complaint at Makati RTC against degenerate red-taggers Lorraine Badoy & Jeffrey Celiz

Media/press outfits should be for facts & truth -- Badoy & Celiz shouldn't get away with their fictions & vilification

Marcos admin needs to reset its outdated economic thinking

More and more countries pursuing industrial policies w/c includes stricter regulation of foreign investment

Yet now charter change to mindlessly open up to FDI

Astride, certainly, just more maneuvering to stay in power

Respect for Imee to be sticking with the sinking Duterte ship

Even greater respect if, when that ship hits bottom (because it will), she resists clambering back on the MV Marcos/Romualdez

Real hunger strikes are awe-inspiring.

Cannot but fully support this determination to die rather than meekly submit to what they see as unjust treatment.

When in doubt about something it's always useful to see where the Dutertes stand -- the opposite is probably the right thing to do.

Our beloved Chairperson of IBON’s Board of Trustees, Bishop Solito Toquero, has quietly passed on. He had been a member of the Board since 2009 and became our Chair in 2017.

Bishop Sol’s gentle manner belied the staunchness of his beliefs and how he firmly guided IBON’s work.
