Ombudsman Martirez is Duterte's guard dog to protect his elusive SALN

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

After Atty Dino De Leon's failed attempt to get copies of President Rodrigo Duterte’s SALN, he now questions the Ombudsman's integrity and believes Congress must now investigate Samuel Martires.

After numerous denials to release Duterte’s SALN, the public lawyer says the Ombudsman “has always consistently been blocking attempts of the public to hold officials publicly accountable.”  

The Ombudsman job is to police the acts of high government official to avoid corruption, but as usual they become the protector of this biggest corrupt of all.

The Ombudsman should serve the Filipino people, not one person/family only. Obviously, the Ombudsman is only there for Duterte and not for the country. He is obviously a DDS ombudsman. Justice is not served speedily nor will be attained on this lifetime..Time will come he will be judged!

Being given the run-around just to get a look at an elected government official's SALN is a definite sign that this government is hiding things from the people that it's supposed to serve. 

Martirez is Duterte's guard dog, barking at anyone who dare to ask for his master's SALN. He was appointed to that position based solely on his loyalty to Duterte, not to the people.

Part time ombudsman & full Time Duterte ass licker Samuel Martirez is co-actor in hiding PRRD's SALN & thus, in the latter's monumental corruption & incompetence that's destroying our country.

Well, if a president consistently refuses to release his SALN, that would certainly raise interest. People are curious about things that are hidden.

People don't have as much interest in the VP's SALN because she has consistently been transparent with it.

Kung walang tinatago si Duterte, pihado nagsalita na yan sa Ombudsman na “ilabas mo”. Kaso tahimik siya. 

The SALN of the President is a matter of public interest. If he isn't hiding anything, why does he keep refusing to divulge them?

You'd think that a man who has been campaigning against corruption would be transparent.

But I guess hypocritical crooks never change their stripes.

Alam na natin ang ibig sabihin nyan, di ba mga DDS? Simple lang. Duterte doesn't want anybody to see his sudden unexplainable accumulated riches.

Our system is already poisoned dahil sa mga appointed ni Duterte. Nasayang lang effort ni Pnoy to rid our government of corruption.

Congress should start impeachment proceedings against Ombudsman Martirez. He has become another disappointing Duterte enabler. He was intalled there only to protect Duterte. I hope somebody from Congress initiate the impeachment.

This country has no need for corrupt officials protecting their own kind. Time for the Ombudsman to go. 

Be a man, Duterte! Instruct Martirez to let people get a copy and show your unedited SALN to all.

Top 6 Tips for a Great Flight by Flight Attendants

Wazzup Pilipinas!?


There are many things you can do to make your flight better. For example, one can watch their favorite TV show or play at the casino online with real money if there is WiFi on board. But flight attendants know how to make your flight even more amazing, and these tips will help, even if it's your first time onboard.

Follow the Instructions

All rules have their reasons. If you are asked to sit down and fasten your seat belt - do it, if you are asked to put away unnecessary things before takeoff - don't resist either. Turbulence sometimes strikes suddenly, and if we are warned, we can avoid unpleasant incidents.

By the way, don't jump out of your seat before the engines come to a complete stop. Carefully open the shelves with luggage, secure with the other hand. The suitcase can easily fall on your head or the person standing nearby. Be careful with hot drinks. Burns are a frequent occurrence on board.

Take Care of Your Clothing

Dress and footwear comfortably, take something warm with you, it is often chilly. At altitude under suppression, feet often swell and tight shoes are definitely not your friends.

Talk to Flight Attendants

Don't hesitate to talk to flight attendants or ask about things you're not familiar with. If you don't know how to open the restroom door, how to charge your phone, recline your seat, change the language on the screen, if you can change seats, and so on, ask. It is better to explain to you how to do it, than to have problems or just have a bad impression.

For the Body

Drink as much water as possible. Do not use a moisturizing mask on the plane - it will not work there, and will only take moisture from your skin. Do all treatments after the flight. If you have a long enough flight, get up and walk around and stretch. This will help your legs take the strain more easily.

Drink Alcohol in Moderation

The same amount of alcohol has a completely different effect on the ground and at a certain altitude. Excessive drinking can lead to conflicts on board which have the potential to end with a meeting with the police on arrival, heavy fines or even being blacklisted by the airline.

Flying With a Baby

If you fly with a child, take care of this carefully. Look for different travel tips, for example, how to safely endure a flight with a child under 2 years old. Take his favorite toys, necessary food, a change of clothes, diapers and milk. Flight attendants will always help you warm water or milk, they have wipes, talcum powder, spare diapers, but the responsibility is still on you.

Facing the island’s popular Kiss Bridge and within close proximity to the Gondola Cable Car station, the resort will feature bold Mediterranean-inspired architecture and join an array of restaurants, bars and entertainment facilities in the vicinity. Guests at the resort will have incomparable views of the sunset and ocean and enjoy direct access to the beach.

The uniquely-designed La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio Collection by Hilton will feature architecture and design reflective of its immediate surroundings. Guests who prefer to dine in the resort will have access to a wide selection of cuisine from an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a lobby lounge and a bar.

Hilton currently operates three hotels in Vietnam: Hilton Hanoi Opera, Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi and Hilton Da Nang, with nine hotels in its development pipeline in the country including Hilton Saigon which will mark the entry of the flagship Hilton brand into Ho Chi Minh City when it opens.
