Set aside for now the flagrant irregularity that Cardema did not resign his NYC post during the election even as he was also the head of Duterte Youth.

The misreading of the memo that Ateneo de Manila University president Fr. Jett Villarin wrote to his university community on the vexing issue of the Reproductive Health bill was both unfortunate and immediate. The original story that appeared in the Inquirer completely misunderstood the import of the memo, or the effect it had on the professors who wrote an impassioned, rigorously argued statement in support of the bill; as a result, a good number of readers thought that the Jesuits had thrown the professors to the dogs. |

The Bayanihan Whole-of-Nation approach misses the most important factor – the very citizens who comprise the nation.

Mamasapano incident has shown that the incompetent incumbent President who ought to lose his job managed to survive an attempt to unseat him—an attempt that, without popular support, looked like a faint stir, doomed to fail from the very start. Not because President Aquino was faultless as in fact the greater weight of the blame for the deaths of the 44 elite policemen lay on his lap.

I think (BIR Commissioner Kim Jacinto) Henares is doing her job and I'd probably be thinking of the same thing, but aren't there better ways for tax collectors to spend their time on? This is not my field of expertise, but I believe we should let our entrepreneurs succeed first before we run after them. We've had all these sari-sari stores all over the country, but when did the BIR go after them? Are they paying all their taxes now? They've been around much longer than online businesses. I'd rather we allow small businesses to prosper first so there will be more profits to tax after. |

"Even though it was an arduous process, having public hearings and consultations are important to be able to hear not just the side of the driver-operators but also of the commuters.
