Duterte variant versus Yorme Isko

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Duterte hits Manila Mayor Isko Moreno for past sexy photos, withholds power to distribute ECQ aid.

What the f*ck!?!  I can see and feel the dedication and hardwork Yorme Isko has. Manilenos always have monthly ayuda (food package) during the pandemic. IT'S NOT ONLY ONCE. Is that how you say a disorganized distribution of ECQ aid? Shame on Duterte!

There goes KillBoy once again trying vainly to deflect his own kapalpakan by calling a hard-working Yorme 'disorganized' daw! Hahaha ...

For Duterte, everything is personal, never constructive — his grudge against ABS-CBN, feud with VP Leni, Mayor Vico and now Yorme. He can’t be an effective leader if he can’t criticism, constructive or not. Criticism is imperative for one’s development.

Hinahanapan niya ng ikakasira yung mga taong pwedeng makatalo sa anak niya o sa PA niya sa election and si Yorme ang isa sa mga pinakamalaking hadlang sa kanya.

Kahit anong sira niya kay Yorme ay alam ng mga nasasakupan niya kung gaano kalaki nabago niya sa Maynila 

Isko is the best mayor that they had.

Disorganized daw oh. Ano na naman sininghot no Duterte? DILG itself recognized it.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) formally recognized the City of Manila’s “efficient and timely completion of the distribution of Ayuda” last March to April of 2021. 

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno shared photos of certificates from DILG and DSWD recognizing the LGU’s aid distribution efforts before, following President Rodrigo Duterte’s order to take away “power to distribute” cash aid from a city he did not name. 

May resibo si Yorme...kaya guys, safekeep your receipts... hehehe!

Ano pa ba naman aasahan nyo ka Pres. Poverty. Problema nga ni Gretchen hindi nya na solve, problema pa ng Pilipinas? He's the only president who has negative accomplishments. Galit siya sa mga leaders na maganda performance unlike him na dirty finger at puro mura lang kayang gawin.

Galing sa matinding hirap si Isko Moreno. Kailan man di niya ipinagkaila ang kanyang pinanggalingan. He has tried to better himself through the years & succeeded. Sana lang wala nang ganitong pangiinsulto sa kapwa porket kalaban sa 2022.

After watching yorme's live about ecq and vaccination, I could say that he is proficient enough as a politician. He's very thoughtful to his fellow Manilenos, and that is something that we could cherish as as citizens in Manila. Someone who is aware of the community he belongs.

That low-blow vs. yorme is because unlike his ilk, yorme’s doing good. Not perfect but good. Poon is feeling threatened.

I think he is underestimating Isko. Kung tit for tat lang naman ang labanan, kayang-kaya siya ni Isko.

This old, senile man sees Mayor Isko as a threat to him and his daughter’s political ambition. As expected of him, he went verryyyy low. So now we know who’s behind all the demolition job against yorme. 

Taga hanga pala ni Isko si President Poverty? Siguro may mga sexy photos pa siya ni Isko sa room niya?

At least Manila Mayor Isko Moreno's "sexy" past doesn't include assaulting a kasambahay, right Duterte?

It's no no for me for Yorme Isko for President or VP, but he's way better than PDut.. periodt

I'd rather trust someone who sacrificed his all in the past to feed and uplift his family than one whose past is cloaked in shadows and doubt of a supposedly "killing squad". Now, who would you choose? Someone who bared his soul or someone who took away others? I'm with #Yorme.

Yorme has redeemed himself with his better-than-expected performance in his job as mayor of Manila... unlike you, Digong.

Yorme Isko life is such an open book. He never hid his past nor claim he is 100% clean. In fact he uses it as a guide to work his way up to the ladder. This admin perfected their dirty ways of politicking, character assassination, how low Duterte can go, I pity him, poor dirty old guy.

Obviously, the current adminstration is threatened by Yorme. He is set to join a party list known to be neautral. Take no sides, neither dds nor dilawan. 

Because of his strong image and current success. DDS are now attacking his reputation just in time for the elections. They are scared!

DILG apologizes to Mayor @IskoMoreno for issuing show cause order. Ayan, Yorme, kaya ka binigyan ng "show cause" order ng DILG for allegedly failing to act on something they imagined. (The erroneous administrative rap has been withdrawn.) 

Now all eyes on Yorme, the possible katunggali ni Inday. Expect more to come, Yorme…

Lower house approval of HB 9147 a step in the right direction, says WWF-Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines lauds the House of Representatives for the passage of House Bill 9147 or the Single-use Plastic Products Regulation Act on its third reading yesterday, July 28, 2021.

“The passage of HB 9147 is a step in the right direction,” said Ina Guingona, WWF’s No Plastics in Nature’s Policy Officer. “Plastic pollution has been a scourge to our environment and our communities. A more integrative approach that is grounded and solutions-focused is needed to address the multifaceted issue of plastic pollution. The passage of this bill signifies the Philippines’ commitment to tackling the problem in a holistic manner.”

HB 9147 is one of several bills pending in Congress that include Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). This scheme, advocated by WWF, is a policy tool that holds producers accountable for the plastic packaging they put into the market throughout the whole life cycle of the product.

According to the bill, manufacturers and producers will be mandated to implement their EPR programs such as recovery of their plastic wastes two years after the enactment of the law to prevent their single use plastic products from entering the environment.

Furthermore, the bill also mandates manufacturers to divert 100% of their plastic wastes within five years from the date the law takes effect. Business establishments are also mandated to provide reusable and locally made materials to the public.

EPR is a critical policy tool with a track record to hold manufactures accountable for their plastic products and packaging’s end-of-life impacts, as well as to encourage holistic ecodesign in the business sector, according to WWF’s position paper on EPR.


On banning SUPs

Unnecessary single use plastic materials including plates, saucers, cups, bowls, lids, cutlery like spoons, forks, knives, and chopsticks, will be phased out with medical exemptions within four years from the effectivity of this Act.

Other materials such as drinking straws, stirrers, sticks for candy, balloons, cotton buds, buntings, confetti and packaging bags less than ten microns will be phased out one year from the effectivity of the Act.

Thereafter, the production, importation, sale, distribution, provision or use of the said plastic products shall be prohibited.

Properly labelled flexible disposable plastic drinking straws for persons with special medical conditions shall be allowed, when no suitable reusable or compostable alternatives are available.

A WWF report launched in October 2020 showed the challenges for waste management in the Philippines. More than 2 million tonnes of plastic waste, 15.43 kg per capita per year, is generated annually in the Philippines, 760,000 tonnes or 35% are leaked to the open environment while 706,000 tonnes or 33% go to landfills and dumpsites while only 9% is recycled.

“We hope the positive momentum brought by the passage of this bill will continue through the Senate and eventually, to the Office of the President. Our work is cut out for us, from the need to eliminate unnecessary plastics, redesigning the way we consume things, to implementing waste reduction and management as mandated by RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, there is clearly so much work to be done to address the plastic pollution problem in the country,” said Czarina Contantino - Panopio, No Plastics in Nature’s National Lead.

Mula Agosto 1 hanggang 15, ang MECQ areas ay Ilocos Norte, Bataan, Cebu City, Cebu province, Lapu-Lapu City, at Mandaue City. Ang status ng Cebu City at Cebu province ay subject sa mga apela ng kanilang mga pamahalaang lokal.

Hinihikayat ng FDCP, sa pamamagitan ng Safe Filming Program nito, ang lahat ng film at audiovisual productions na sumunod sa safety at health protocols ng gobyerno. Maaaring mag-register ang mga production sa Safe Filming Program para matulungan at magabayan sila ng FDCP habang nagsasagawa ng production sa new normal.
