@Trader4lyf And if the justification is “protecting investors,” that’s pretty dumb. Since the riskiest form of investing for most people is still gambling platforms, which consistently exploit users across all income levels from the poor to the wealthy.

‘ANG BISE PRESIDENTE AY HINDI NAGKASALA SA KOMITENG ITO, SIYA AY NAGKASALA SA TAUMBAYAN’
Ito ang binigyang-diin ng nag-endorso ng ikaapat na impeachment at 6th District Manila Rep. Benny Abante laban kay Vice Pres. Sara Duterte sa pagpapatuloy ng impeachment proceedings ng House Committee on Justice ngayong Miyerkules, April 29.
Ayon kay Abante, naniniwala siyang hindi kailanman mabibilanggo ng anino ng confidentiality ang katotohanan.
Hindi ulit sumipot ang bise sa huling araw ng pagdinig ng House justice panel kaugnay ng impeachment complaints laban sa kaniya.

The Philippines' stock market is so depressed that its dividend yield is back to Lehman collapse levels. At 3.22%, the country's dividend yield is now more than two percentage points higher than the US, marking a record in a multi-decade data set. You should also know that JP Morgan is adding the Philippines to its widely followed bond indexes in early 2027 too. That could potentially catalyze international interest.

Saw this post from Antonette Aquino on Facebook - sharing it here. This is what she said:
No, I did not leave the aircon running 24/7.
My Meralco bill came in at ₱9,791.78. So let me break it down because nobody else will.
Generation charge alone is ₱5,266.66. That’s 54% of my entire bill. Meralco’s actual cut? ₱1,730.98. And that number hasn’t moved since 2022. What keeps going up is everything sitting on top of it.
Here’s what’s actually eating your money:
System Loss — ₱486.83
You are paying for stolen electricity. Illegal connections, meter tampering, jumpers. Republic Act 7832 lets Meralco pass the cost of electricity theft straight to paying customers.
Universal Charges — ₱201.96
Part of this goes toward paying off the National Power Corporation’s debts. Old debts. From decisions made before most of us were even working.
Government Taxes — ₱989.81
The 12% VAT is not just on what you consumed. It’s stacked on top of every other charge, including the subsidies you’re already paying for. So yes, you are paying tax on stolen electricity. Tax on an old government debt. Tax on a subsidy you do not even benefit from.
FiT-All and GEA-All — ₱149.59 combined
Two separate renewable energy levies running at the same time. The second one was quietly added to bills in February 2026. Both government-mandated. Neither one is optional.
FYI..none of this is illegal. It’s all backed by law. But legal and fair are not the same thing.
The middle class does not steal electricity. We do not qualify for lifeline rates. We do not get 4Ps. We just pay full VAT, fund everyone else’s discounts, and absorb costs that should never have been ours to begin with. Every month. Without relief.
What actually needs to change:
1. Reform the generation charge. One line item cannot be more than half your bill and go unchallenged.
2. Stop passing system loss to consumers. Other countries make the utility absorb it. We should demand the same.
3. Move faster on renewables. Lower generation costs long-term. That transition is already overdue.

So it appears that the Czech authorities held Zaldy Co for up to 11 days from the time it was announced by Malacanang on April 16.
ELEVEN DAYS.
Yet, it also appears nobody was sent to immediately work with the Czech government to bring him back home.
Regardless of standing Schengen rules, the Philippine government could have certainly done more to pursade the Czech authorities to cooperate in ensuring Co's detention and assisted deportation back to the Philippines.
If there's a will, there's a way. But I guess in this country, that only applies to stealing taxpayers' money.
We are a laughing stock.

It didn’t work in the Philippines. It didn’t work in Liberia.
Because they aren’t Americans.
The U.S. Constitution wasn’t imposed on a people. It grew out of them. It emerged bottom-up from American culture, values, habits, and institutions.
No matter how brilliant its design, it cannot be transplanted top-down onto fundamentally different peoples and cultures.
No magic sand. No magic paper.
