Manny Pacquiao defeated by Yordenis Ugas

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

“The Olympian” overpowered “The Legend.” 

Manny Pacquiao suffers loss against Yordenis Ugas. Ugas is still the WBA welterweight super champion. 

Cuban boxer Ugas defended his WBA super welterweight title against Pacquiao at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Ugas pulls of the career-defining upset over Pacquiao by unanimous decision.

 

It's not age. George Foreman was still able to beat Michael Moorer at 45, but Manny Pacquiao should definitely hang up his gloves. He's got nothing left to prove as his fame as a boxer is indeed legendary. 

Though as a politician, Pacquiao is now among the clowns in the Philippine government. 

But knowing majority of the Filipinos who are still blinded by popularity and fame (and money), they will ignore his incompetence and lack of qualification. So the Pacman may still land a position in government.

We do love our celebrities.

Being more of a politician than a boxer (0 laws passed, most absent at the Senate) we can't trust Manny Pacquiao anymore, these politicians will say and do anything just to get your vote and sympathy.

Remember that he once said he is retiring for good but he lied. So there might be another fight soon, maybe after the 2022 elections in the Philippines where he could fight against Ungas  (Duterte) for President or at least Vice President, maybe against somebody else...since he most probably is still an ally of the Duterte administration.

Duterte wants COA to "reconfigure" their audit reports

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

COA should advise the President not to interfere with their Constitutional duties.

Reconfigure? Advices? That is absurd. Also is that a warning to COA? This is the first time a president has addressed a government institution for doing its job accordingly. My God. Bakit naman ganun.. tsktsktsk.

He did not only say "reconfigure" COA reports but "huwag  paniwalaan".  Is the government going to abolish COA?

That statement alone makes him complicit to corruption. He should be impeached.

"An auditor will give a deadline for all submissions, then they will begin audit after the given deadline. What is audited is a complete report already, a complete audited report of WHAT WAS SUBMITTED. If the agency didn't submit everything, it's on them. 

Now there's what we call "Adjusted Audit". This is after the first audit, then the submission of the ones that didn't make the deadline.

BUT! Whatever the outcome of the adjustments,  TRUST with the agency will not be the same."

COA did a wonderful job in doing its mandate. Its their obligation to balance the liquidation the DOH made up to the single centavo with supported papers and documents such as receipts etc. Unavailability of such makes an agency liable on such transaction and makes doubt about the money involved. There are purchasing laws that should be followed and in a pandemic is not an excuse for it. Any findings the COA made is final and being an independent body, the executive branch have no powers to control it nor its findings.

Reconfigure meaning amend or change stating na walang corruption.. Mr. President, COA has already issued the statement that their report does not state any proven corruption. It's up to the govt agency to clear up its records  and documents. You are afraid of the backlash of the people this coming election, which I think only speaks the kind of your leadership.. You cannot save the cabinet secretaries for their incompetence by shooting the messenger.. all you have to do instead is to instruct the heads to comply rather than pushed COA to the side.. Actually, you ignored COA in your strategic moves.. You successfully managed to replace the head of independent bodies like the SC and Comelec but underestimated COA. You have maligned CHR making the agency irrelevant. Now you are doing a damage control at this critical times when nobody is listening to you anymore and people have seen how you siphoned the coffers of the govt to the benefit of your corrupt allies and Durian group.. its too late Mr. President to destroy COA.. You will loose this propaganda battle.. and we will see if you will loose the 2022 war.

PLDT Enterprise, Smart, and Nokia to spark IoT revolution in the PH business landscape

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

PLDT Enterprise, Smart, and Nokia teamed up to introduce a powerful solution that will transform the way Internet of Things (IoT) applications are deployed and managed in the country, allowing businesses to accelerate their digital transformation goals and provide next-level customer experience beyond just connectivity.

A first in the Philippines, the Smart IoT Platform, powered by Nokia’s Worldwide IoT Network Grid (WING) will further enhance businesses to have full real-time visibility and control to up to hundreds of thousands of connected devices. With a simple-to use web interface and APIs, enterprises will be able to effectively oversee to automate the connectivity and usage of their mobile assets to ensure optimum performance, increasing operational efficiency.

“At PLDT Enterprise, our vision is to make a positive impact on every single business especially today as the pandemic continues to challenge the way we normally do things. And we affirm our unbreakable commitment to continue enabling the digital transformation of industries through innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things. But for PLDT-Smart, this is so much more than IoT, as it opens up a lot of possibilities that were previously only a dream,” said Jovy Hernandez, ePLDT President & CEO and SVP & Head for PLDT and Smart Enterprise Business Groups.

Nokia has been a longstanding systems and network partner of the PLDT Group. In 2016, they showcased the capabilities of 5G (fifth generation) with the speed of 2.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) and latency of one millisecond - a first time showcase of such advanced technology in the Philippines.

This has then opened vast opportunities for IoT applications in industries, including the pilot deployment of Smart 5G wireless broadband technologies in schools and universities as part of PLDT’s drive to build a complete 5G ecosystem.

This year, the partnership is seeking to help build IoT-enabled e-industries by providing relevant business solutions for more efficient management of interconnected devices at scale. “We put this vision forward with the Philippines’ first localized IoT offer and we believe that this will ultimately pave the way for the Philippines’ transformation to a nation of smart cities,” Hernandez noted.

“We are excited about the opportunity to work with PLDT and Smart on the whole IoT environment. As a partner, we not only bring just a platform but also the business experience we have around the world, providing technology and business solutions to help drive enterprise growth,” said Carlos Reyes, Head of Nokia Philippines.

The Smart IoT Platform will be made commercially available very soon.
