THE PRICE OF RELYING TOO MUCH ON U.S. COMPANIES
JP Morgan will layoff hundreds of Filipinos employees until next year. Agrinanas Company Dev. Inc. (ACDI) in Bukidnon filed bankruptcy that affected 5,000 employees. Del Monte Pacific Ltd. in Bukidnon with 30k to 40k employees also file bankruptcy recently due to high import tariffs and economic slow down of the United States.
The Filipino people are suffering beyond imagination. And all our government is doing is steal our taxes, pick a fight with China and persecute the Dutertes and their supporters.
If only President Bongbong Marcos was not stupid and stayed neutral in the feud between US and China, maybe the Philippine economy is still floating. Sadly, he became a US Puppet and made lots of blunders losing our share of trade and tourism with China.
Chinese tourists alone that reaching 2 million visas could have helped the Filipinos get some decent source of living. But PBBM cancelled them resulting to the dive of tourist arrivals. Even our real estate industry took a dive when Marcos become too anti-China and shoo away Chinese business. Imagine this, 50% of sales in Condo and office spaces back in 2017 to 2022 came from Chinese buyers.
The mainstream media in cohorts with PBBM administration down played the negative economic effects of Marcos Jr.'s erroneous foreign policy. It resulted to the loss of hundreds of thousands jobs, discouraging foreign investors and loss of millions international tourists arrivals.
Philippines is once again in the international headlines as the most corrupt government in the world. This is not to mention the surge of criminalities and drug addictions that PBBM and our mainstream media tried to hard to sweep under the rug.
The Filipinos no longer trust PBBM's governance. The Philippine economy is suffering beyond our imagination. Lies and sugarcoating of news are what kept the Marcos Jr. administration alive.

Pro-China trolls claim that @GordianKnotRay is my handler. If that is true, I am incredibly proud of you, boss. You really nailed it! Great response for those who say that transparency initiative is provocation!

Here's my response to 🇨🇳#China's claim that the 🇵🇭#Philippines is provoking it by documenting its aggressions: you're allowed to claim victimhood if you are, in fact, the victim. 👇👇👇

From Cj Hirro
——————
Dear Senator Risa Hontiveros ,
Please stop misleading the public.
The Bt Talong case (International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications v. Greenpeace) is not a valid precedent for what you are trying to argue in Sara Duterte v. House of Representatives.
For context, the Bt Talong case involved a petition to stop field testing of genetically modified eggplant, which some groups claimed posed health and environmental risks. In 2015, the Supreme Court en banc unanimously ruled to stop the field trials.
But in 2016, the Court—still en banc and again unanimous—reversed its own ruling. Why? BECAUSE THE TRIALS IT SOUGHT TO STOP HAD ALREADY CONCLUDED. There was nothing left to stop. In legal terms, the case was moot. Wala nang kwenta ang decision. The Court did not revisit or overturn the legal merits of its 2015 decision. It simply recognized that the issue no longer had any practical effect. Gets? Uulitin ko po, the reversal was on grounds of mootness, not on legal merits. It was about timing, not about whether the earlier decision was legally correct or not.
In contrast, the Sara Duterte case involves a constitutional safeguard. It is about the one-year bar rule on impeachment.
These are entirely different legal principles. The case you are citing is about mootness, the case at hand is about constitutional compliance.
So no, Risa, this is not the same. Not even close. And no amount of spin will make it so.
