Philippines, Where are we going?

Words of wisdom. A lot of people depend on the government but the government, like humans, are very unpredictable. They might enforce this delay that, pursue this or broke this promise. I stopped being reliant on the government and politicians since they seem to care on themselves more than their campaign promises.

Simply, some of the Government adjustment makes a big impact on our lives. I hope they'll consider that.

Because no form of human government can solve our problems.

I like the tune of that song... Ha ha. I think you have a point but the Train Law that been shouldered to us by the government is just too difficult to carry.

@simplfred I'm not sure on this but there should be only minimal increase. I am really hoping that they could look out any possibility that these businessmen are using or abusing the law for surging the prices. There's significant increased in the rice prices already. This is alarming because it's one of the most important food for us. The saying that only rich get richer, and the poor became poorer maybe true after all. Before, when one ask a question when you get marry, there's this common reply that when rice price became 50/kilo.... That time yet is very far from being 50 and now, it's more than that.

@ZedSmart I will agree with you. Most are really abusing the law. When we asks the seller why the prices are too high? They'll simply say because of Train Law and it's the end of a conversation. I think many will get married now... Ha ha.

Still half term away. I'm hoping that he will change his priority. Most of his action is not helping the ordinary people. While we have the so-called 4P's, what about us who don't belong there?

@simplfred But I am thankful that I can take out more because the tax is not too much compared to previous years. Before I was deducted thousand, now hundred or less.

@jobelbojel That's only a consolation, my friend. Well, I just hope everything will turn well, as time goes by.

Indeed, most of us especially the poor and middle class.

I've heard it even reaches 1000 ($20).

I don't blame the voters because politician has a great propaganda during campaign. The best thing to do now is to shout our angst in the order for the government to hear our voices.

@Strawberry18 so sad right. Duterte is making filipinos poorer and poorer

@Strawberry18 i know, i think the last president was better than this dutertard lol

@simplfred Same here, I did not vote for him as well. But when he won two years ago I tried my best to understand his behavior and attitude but I could not accept it. I am just praying that something good would happen to our country and we would not be going down like what Venezuela is experiencing right now.

Very true, my friend. I did not vote for Duterte but if he is doing right I will be supportive to his administration but I can't see a good reason to support this guy. His character affected also his followers and it is very alarming. Filipinos used to be respectful, religious and with dignity but I don't what is really happening now.

@rsa101 I think hope is very far with this current administration. All he does is to silence his critics. I am not a pro-opposition, actually, I don't like the past administration also but the current administration is worse than the last one.

@simplfred We are going through a lot of that problem as well. Teaches us to not take something like food and water for granted.

@DesirousDreamer Oh I see, maybe such situation is happening on the most of the country now. Hopefully, everything will turn well soon for both of us and for others as well.

Hopefully, my friend. Most people I know here, are being hurt by this prices adjustment.

actually the rich are getting extinct due to all businesses failing because he failed at controlling the pandemic.

@simplfred ...

Ha ha... Maybe we need a lot of hearts now. A stay strong spirit.

Oh, I see. Maybe it is time for us to look for another source of income. The situation is really difficult here because our salary is not change yet.

That's interesting... The people there are lucky.

@simplfred thank you very much
