Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Energy (DOE) is to celebrate 2016 Consumer Welfare Month with the theme, “Consumer Protection: A Shared Responsibility.”

According to Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, the month-long celebration aims “to fully realize the protection of the rights and welfare of every consumer, with particular focus on supporting our underprivileged and underserved kababayans.”

The DOE-CWPO invited the Manila Electric Company (MERALCO), Consumer Rights for Safe Food (CRSF) and Sun Life Financial Philippines to talk about consumer-related topics in their respective fields.

WHEN: October 18, 19 and 20, respectively at 1:30 p.m.

WHERE: PNOC Mini Theater and DOE Training Room.

Specifically, MERALCO will discuss about “Kuryente Load” and “Net Metering” which are the new trends in the electricity sector. The Kuryente Load is a prepaid electricity system that aims to provide consumers an alternative way to save on their electricity consumption. Net metering on the other hand, is the company’s response in supporting the country’s thrust for renewable energy development in the household level.

The CRSF will orient consumers on genetically modified organisms and effect to humans and animals, while Sun Life will conduct a free financial planning seminar to attending participants.

Meanwhile, the 2016 Consumer Fair will be featuring products from S&R Membership Shopping and Dunkin Donuts, livelihood products and religious articles, home-made deli, eco-friendly baby diapers, locally-made clothing and toys, and gift items, among others.

WHEN: October 11 to 13, 2016 (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.)

Serial Killer President: That is How French Newspaper Liberation Depicts Duterte

Wazzup PIlipinas!

"Libération, a French daily newspaper, published an article about President Duterte and headlined its 4-page story “Serial Killer President."

As per Senator Dick Gordon's statement... Wow PI Philippines!...

People of France are welcome, visit one of our Most Famous Attraction, our Serial Killer President..

President Rodrigo Duterte landed on the front page of one of France’s leading newspapers, “The Liberation” daily, which featured the Philippine government’s relentless antidrug drive in its four-page story. Duterte's first 100 days in office has been marked with the death of over 3,000 drug suspects.

The French daily Liberation’s front-page report is the latest criticism from the foreign media of the Duterte administration’s war on drugs, which has drawn international flak for human rights violations and alleged summary killings. The article alleged that death squads in Davao helped the former mayor rid the city of rebels. The latest death toll in the war on drugs is nearly 3,700. Police operations accounted for less than half of the deaths, while the rest were reportedly committed by vigilante groups allegedly empowered by the state.

Isn't this enough to convince the government that what they are doing is wrong?

Whether they want to admit it or not, the perception of neighboring countries are significant and should be taken with utmost importance. We cannot deny that Duterte is nobody's sweetheart especially in his diplomacy.

That foul mouth that spews hate for almost everyone except China and Russia , that willingness to mass slaughter suspected drug dependents, and encouraging his people to kill even without any due process of law, and the promise to protect his men if they are ever caught killing, should never be tolerated.

We do not need a hard-headed president who is willing to starve his people just so he can proudly stand on his own without the aid or assistance from our allies.
