Needless to say, our country is presently under a regime of brats, and their cohorts, inc.
Despite public clout and instigating circumstance of public riots and valid redresses, here's PGMA--as the chief brat dismissing calls for the abolition of E-VAT, even for oil and electricity at the very least citing a critical downfall in the supposed 'katas ng e-vat' which is estimated to reach around a hundred billion peso per annum. Ironically, the large mass of ordinary Filipinos are grilled in their own oil, as prices oil and prime commodities consistently increase by the days but wage increase stagnates. In short, ramdam at mas lumala pa ang kahirapan! As a matter of rationale, the gains from the 12% Expanded value added tax was supposed to boost social services spending.
But see, after almost five years of its implementation, where are these services gone now. More ironically, and its depressing to realizing that at the height of the crisis, another brat in the person of House Speaker Prospero Nograles initiated a beatification project in the grounds of the Batasan Pambansa to the tune of alledgedly P200 M, which he denied by the way.Regardless of the exact amount, it is but a slap in every tax payers face for someone in govenrment to spent at least P80 M for ala-Imelda Marcos beautification project, which even House members decried as a show off to PGMA's up coming SONA later this month. Other observers meanwhile scored this action as an insult and an act of tyranny in the wisdom of public service and justice.
Now, in the wake of SSS president's Corazon dela Paz resignation, CHED Chair Romulo Neri was appointed by GMA for reasons, Neri the Brat claimed, of competence and confidence. But I'm with PDI's observation, describing it as payback for the latter's mumbling in the NBN-ZTE scandal, and coining the line, "Sec,me SSS ka dito!" (in connection with the controversial line he mentioned in the Senate hearings, "may 200 ka dito"!). regardless again of his competence, Neri above all lacks credibility to govern and manage the largest investment of private workers in forms of insurance and premiums. His appointment came also after de la Paz cited politics aside from health concerns as the reason for her leaving the reformed SSS, saying some forces are pushing for fund extraction from the government-run private funds.
