With or without initiatives like Pax Silica, the Philippines still needs to upgrade from being a low-margin assembler of electronics and automotive components to a high-value technology and manufacturing hub.
Remember the polar bears.
Remember the rhinos.
Remember the elephants.
Remember the orangutans.
Remember the whales.
Remember the rainforests.
Remember the coral reefs.
Remember the glaciers.
The future of each now rests in human hands.
@BraddrofliT Exactly. Not saying taxes should not exist but it should be manageable. Property taxes increase every year but we all know salary has been stagnant for decades
Property taxes in America have gone too far. No one should have to pay $10,000–$15,000 a year just to remain in a home they already own free and clear.
If you’ve spent decades paying off your mortgage, you shouldn’t face the risk of losing your home because you can’t keep paying the government every year.
Homeownership should mean ownership—not permanent rent to the state.
Most developed countries don’t place this kind of ongoing burden on homeowners. So why are we still defending a system that can tax seniors out of the homes they worked a lifetime to own?
@TheTennisTalker Exactly. I prefer to follow the traditional Filipino way. Win first then hype (like Bata, Pac, Hidlyn, yulo etc). Eala has NOT even captured a single pro title
Why are we getting Alexandra Eala 🇵🇭 thrown on us constantly at the moment
Is it because the population of Philippines is 115m and a lucrative market to tap into?
I mean she is doing very well but everyone falling over her as though she is winning everything is a bit much?
France's longest river has dried up.
And you still believe that, “climate change is a hoax.”
Just because you do not take an interest in climate change, doesn't mean climate change won't take an interest in you.
The climate is going to happen no matter what. Driving your electric car while simultaneously closing electrical plants down is not going to do a single thing. Humans are a very, very small part of the amount of co2 in the atmosphere… in fact we should be burning coal and drilling for oil until it runs out. Give us a surplus of energy to figure out what the next best technology is. Maybe even work on terraforming our planet so we can avoid the next inevitable ice age. Throwing more money at a corrupt government who all have enormous bank accounts is not the answer at all, not even close.
THIS IS NOT FAKE. THIS IS REAL.
Canada is burning. Europe is on fire. New York's sky is smoke. The oceans are boiling. The heat is lethal.
If you are still denying climate change you are denying the Earth a future.
@anakmartiallaw@tessgarcia@peanutbuttercup so now its about builders and risk takers? 😂 I thought its about our resource at hand with pax silica??? I think we may be done here LOL
@ecf08@tessgarcia@peanutbuttercup I believe in builders and risk takers. What’s your alternative to giving people higher value jobs? You are so up in ideology, you are not even aware we are already exporting 90% of our RAW nickel to China?
With the way you talk, you sound more pro-China. 😁
@ecf08@tessgarcia@peanutbuttercup I’m actually asking questions, details. You don’t and have the temerity to be arrogant. 😁
Bertrand Russel is correct. “The stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.”
@anakmartiallaw@tessgarcia@peanutbuttercup Where is your full of doubt? You already agree on Pax Silica based on that you think its better for us due to Foxconn ect without actually the full details. So without full details, you want to proceed. See how stupid it is.
@suzymacusr@exrecca07@WTA@MercedesBenz You just find fault in anything that highlights facts but does not suit your own preference for Eala. Its absurdly moronic
@exrecca07@ecf08@WTA@MercedesBenz 🤷🏻♀️ sorry for interjecting. I was pissed when he said “moronic Filipino” Sad that we have to defend against our own people.
@suzymacusr@exrecca07@WTA@MercedesBenz LOL...I support her but I dont hype her until she wins. I am rooting for her to win. See you are just delusional and just keep inventing stuff like I am embarass or I dont support. Its ad hominen. Yeah we are different 😂
@ecf08@exrecca07@WTA@MercedesBenz You’ll probably argue that you have a “higher standard” in terms of what or who to support…but remember, in Filipino tennis. Alex IS THE STANDARD!
@ecf08@exrecca07@WTA@MercedesBenz Simply put, you’re embarrassed by your kababayans supporting their own. Yes, she’s just starting, but she’s been playing for YEARS. It’s not moving the goal post. But beating Iga again just proves that she deserves to be there, and in the conversation.
You can't say you have a better standard, you don't even know me lol
I watched Hidilyn failed in 2008 and 2012 Olympics but supported her and hyped her in my social media.
watched Pacquiao in Blow by Blow then naging idol ko sya ung panalo nya kay Sasakul ( wala pang social media nyan)
been cheering for Caloy even before the Olympics ;) ( posted a lot in my soc med as well)
I love supporting our very own athletes :)
oh well, whatever floats your boat lol , all people are different, let's just agree to disagree then, goodluck sa manok natin na si Alex! :)
this is not hype, this is support ;) support every milestone in her journey with Pride. She carries our flag ! :)
Always proud to be a pinoy, except for the politicians and their cult supporters lol
@suzymacusr@exrecca07@WTA@MercedesBenz Why I doubt you know tennis? I just explained why. You find no issue that she is the star of the grass swing more than Noskova who capture the title. Ok😂. Maybe we are on different phase of life
@ecf08@exrecca07@WTA@MercedesBenz Haha. You doubt I play tennis? Why would I lie about that? You said “I’m not saying don’t support Eala” so what’s the problem here? You’d prefer if Filipinos tone down their support? How do you suppose we do that? She is exposing the Philippines to tennis.
@exrecca07@suzymacusr@WTA@MercedesBenz move goal post LOL...what are you talking about? Beating Iga will not be in her wikipedia. Winning titles will be. Unlike you, I have better standard. This is a hype since she has not won a SINGLE pro title yet. I am rooting for her but not the way you do 😅
she will be there, she is just starting, this is her first FULL year on tour, before we are supporting her in qualifiers of 125. Now, she's playing with the world's best. Defeating the defending champion, Iga! again, The Iga! don't move your goalposts, celebrate every achievement in the journey ;)
and yeah. I know sports, I love sports lol, this is not hype, this is support :) we love our own right?
@suzymacusr@exrecca07@WTA@MercedesBenz I doubt you play tennis. I am not saying dont support Eala but this level hype is typically for the top players. You should know that. And this hype doesnt help Eala too, you should also know that if you know sports. I prefer win then hype(aka Efren Reys, Pac, Yulo,Hidlyn)got it
@ecf08@exrecca07@WTA@MercedesBenz You seem embarrassed that we are supporting her. I grew up playing tennis. I never saw anyone who looked like me on tv. Been supporting her since the juniors. I was afraid that she wouldn’t get the support as tennis isn’t popular in the Philippines. Glad to be wrong.
@ecf08@WTA@MercedesBenz This is a voting contest, you shouldn't be that serious lol , we just want to support our own, errrr not you of course, feeling high and mighty na talangka 🤣
Kaya nga voting, ayan tagalugin ko, you can vote anyone 🫶
