We will "BLOW" you're Homes !!!!!

Hello Raine, they should make him apologize for his remarks. i understand they are immature, uneducated and inpatient, but that doesn't give him an excuse to stood to their level. they went to NCR to find a better life, even though you know very well, that they aren't really doing that much..but they are liability, still this isn't the kind of statement coming from a government official

Well, an apology really is necessary, though I doubt if that will ever reverse the public's opinion of the kind of person he is. They say what usually comes out of your mouth first is what you truly believe and feel. It's just alarming that he does feel like"blowing up" as a possible solution to the problem. I'm sure they will say that it's just a figure of speech and shouldn't be taken literally. But that is entirely beside the point, saying so will just challenge the intelligence of the public when they should be addressing the real issue. Many times the informal settlers say that the reason they don't want to take the place that is being given to them at the relocation site is because there's no livelihood there. Maybe they should start there to make the relocation sites more livable, so to speak. How, I don't know, that's their job lol! They say that having a job in the government is not only a privilege; it also comes with responsibility. I have worked for the government before, and I think he violated a few of the code of ethics.

He did and just apologize for what he said because there's no productive way of saying those things when you're the one trying to make things better. nothing will make better for even saying those statements. he did violate some code of ethics there, besides, he should be more educated than those uneducated ones

Hello knicnax, but if you do try to reject and hate them then they will strive more into surviving mode, doing more crimes. there's no future in the provinces for them and that's why they are forced to live in manila or any parts of the NCR. some how in my subdivision, there wasn't any kind of squatters before until this subdivision is commercialized like. the only solution i guess is to create a bit of metropolis on different provinces, that might force others to move to provinces instead.

There is a future for them there, they just think it's brighter here, and it ends up gloomier instead.

True. We should always remember that words are words and with the media, every word is captured and sometimes mis-interpreted. Therefore, we must heed and think a lot of times before we respond or react. By the way, it's YOUR not YOU'RE in "Burn you're homes". You're means "you are". So the proper word is "Your". Just my cents. No pun intended. You have a great loooong weekend!

Hello laydee, he should have indeed thought about it because the statement shows how frustrated he is. well, with the pressure of the work and the situation of the country, it can't be helped. this proves that our freedom of expression is never perfect but it has be more rationale and professional.

Hello ybong, that's the price of our freedom of expression, some people just criticize for no reason. hahaha if they blast that off then it would destroy the bridge or even clogged the place. well, it's only works for dictatorship governments. otherwise, they will be facing human rights issues.

A lot of people living along the waterways or esteros and those below the bridges probably belong to the poorest of the poor. If we're going to categorize the kind of dwelling they have it's sub standard, you can even call it undignified. You can't even call their homes houses, they defecate right into the river. It seems as if, some pigs in some pens are better off since they are fed properly and some even live in air conditioned rooms. For their own good they have to be transferred somewhere else.

Hello stanley, yes they are but it's really is too late though since there's way too many squatters in the area. even here, i just didn't really noticed it now. they never care what is for their own good, they just met, multiply and then stay when ever they want to believe they are comfortable staying.

Hello Louvie, even though the statement was nothing more than figure of speech it sees a frustration in him but it's unacceptable since he's supposed to be a role model for the government agency. only a dictator would really do something like that, where would they go, and what is the commercial zone on that area.

Friend, I agree with you, it's unacceptable and he should have never said that, there's no use cause sooner or later it might be the flood waters that will do that, I understand and pity these people but they should have never been their or erected anything in the first place

Hello rsa101, this is such a crap! It's not enough for the squatters to have a home but they wanted to squeeze money out of that renter some how. anything just to earn money. i guess that's why they are very mad because the Filipino informal settlers are using their minds in a very bad negative way. well, maybe they should make a contract with the informal settlers that they will never rent the place.

Hello Jazel_juan, why would they be blown up if they're just people who didn't have that much. there should be just concrete plans and any frustrations should have divert his negative energy into something positive.they are suffering and those words were no better than making them better.

Hello Jaihosis, I think he said this out of frustration, but i hope he would apologize for that statement. i don't think he's untouchable since Pnoy can fire him if he did mean that. but right now, i can understand his frustration. but still he needs to apologize to the incident.

Hello rog0322, I don't think i want to play words when giving an answer to an exclusive interview from a group of press.the trouble is that Pnoy started it in the first place and that's why people are acting like boss but look at the statement now of this officer. he should just apologize for the sake of his work

Hello kulisap, Indeed we weren't really supposed to expect that kind of statement coming from some one who is supposed to be helping the poor and not blowing them up. if he hates the job then he should quit indefinitely. i think the President isn't that much good compare to those who didn't win
