Bongbong Marcos camp presents BIR tax certification showing BBM payment for his tax dues and fines

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The Tax Certificate of Bongbong Marcos is just like his diploma from Oxford University —- it looks special.

Bongbong Marcos camp presents certification from Bureau of Internal Revenue showing the presidential aspirant fully paid his taxes and fines in his tax case.

Atty. Vic Rodriguez, spokesperson of former Sen. Bongbong Marcos, presents to the media a BIR certification dated December 9, 2021. 

The camp of Marcos Jr. insists that the former senator had "paid all his deficiency taxes, including interests.” "It has been paid, we owe nothing to the government,” says Rodriguez, showing the BIR certification. 

Rodriguez says this will invalidate the petitioners’ claims against Marcos Jr.  

Ganito ba talaga format ng legit na document from a government agency? 2-3 fonts used?, hindi logo ng BIR ang ginamit kundi slogan logo and walang dry seal? Nasaan ang tax receipt niya?

Does the payment only proves admitting of guilt? Conviction is true which makes him ineligible for public office.Pruweba ito na nag violate si Marcos Jr ng tax kaya nagbayad?

What is the date of this document? If it's less than 5 years old, the more it proves he evaded taxes from years back until the whole issue came about!

if he can ask this government agency to issue him certificate, why cant he asked then the Quezon City Regional Trial Court (RTC) for the clearance? it is the only way to fully clear him of the non-payment issue of the penalties imposed, if it is not the RTC then the Court of Appeals (CA) or whatever the rules says.

According to both Justices Panganiban and Carpio, it is the RTC that is the proper certifying authority as it is the final executory court.

His disqualification is based on his conviction, not whether he paid his fines and dues.

It feels like they’re trying to steer the case by making it about the payment instead of the actual conviction. Because a clearance (after paying his obligations) still doesn't erase his prior conviction.

He is still a tax evader. The payment of tax liabilities and fines after a conviction is an acceptance of guilt on the part of the convicted which makes him ineligible for any public office and that he lied in his COC about “not being convicted” of any crime.

Whether he paid the penalty or not, it doesn’t change the fact that he was convicted with a crime that perpetually disqualifies him to run for public office.

Anong klaseng tax to? Nakakapikon ng sobra. Akala ko naman milyun-milyon ang binayaran. Baryang barya lang po. Hindi ako mayaman pero ang tax ko sa isang taon ay higit 10x sa combined tax niya. Maliit na negosyong coffee shop nga eh may 10% withholding tax. Ang iba dyan, kung hindi orderan ng korte, hindi magbabayad. Pwede palang halos 20 years na di magbayad ng tax? Sige, gawin na ng lahat! Kung pwede pa mag- presidential candidate kahit ang tagal ng bayad (malamang dahil kinasuhan lang), e di all na!

Electing him in any government position is a mockery of our legal system. 

Bongbong Marcos leads latest Pulse Asia survey on preferred president for 2022

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Has Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the son and namesake of the late Philippine dictator, firmed up his lead in the latest opinion poll as he vies to replace President Rodrigo Duterte?

Pulse Asia survey (Dec. 1-6, 2021) shows BBM maintaining an overall nationwide lead with 53%, and 61% in the National Capital Region (NCR).

The tandem of presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos Jr. and VP aspirant Sara Duterte-Carpio leads the December 2021 presidential and vice presidential preference.

Bongbong Marcos leads the latest presidential survey of Pulse Asia survey with 53%. Behind him is Vice President Leni Robredo with 20%.

Even with Class ABC, Marcos Jr is strong. What’s happening here? BBM leading in the Visayas? Seriously? Leading din siya sa Bicol? What a laugh!

This is so strange that in NCR BBM is leading at 61%.

Matigas ang mga taga-NCR. Kapit na kapit kay Marcos. Within the margin of error lang ang 2 points na inangat ni Robredo.

I dont get this. Leni only 20+ In Visayas? or 24 only in ABC. Unbelievable. It does not paint the true picture. Consolation is there is a big leap from 3% to 20%. But still Leni is still winning. When Marcos Jr was 47% in 2016, Leni was only 1%.

But I still don't see nor feel the numbers for LBM. Leni Robredo's support is more visible and felt on the ground. This should however be a concern, carefully analysed, action plan to address where the team is weak. 

Marcos’ 53 has nowhere else to go but down. And 5mos is enough for Leni’s number to catch up.

Now the line is clear.  It is Marcos Jr vs Robredo ONLY.  It is now time for the PINK to re assess their messaging.  Send a strong compelling message to the public. It is time for the head campaign team to LEAD & let the volunteers to follow!

How credible is Pulse Asia anyways? Bakit never pa ako na survey? At wala ako kilala na nakasagot sa mga survey na ito? 

Surveys are not accurate as shown on the 2016 VP election. Pulse Asia surveys are for mind conditioning only and nothing else. The survey is not representative of the people. 

if the survey is real, that only means , historical revisionism ng mga marcos ay nag succeed. 5 months may not be enough to overcome Marcos Jr's staggering advantage.

This election could either be a win by a solid minority or a landslide by one of the candidates. We failed our heroes. Sad.

The gap IS wide, but 20% means the Robredo candidacy is NOW viable. At this same point in the election cycle 6 years ago, Pulse Asia had Binay at 33, Duterte at 23, Poe at 21. The gap between 1st & 2nd then was smaller, so Marcos at 53 is a real concern. But history says 20 IS viable. 

But that 53% BBM are the most Passionate Marcos Loyalist supporters and DDS combined. Mahirap matibag ang mga Marcos Loyalists at Solid DDS. Hindi na magbabago yan ng isip kung sino ang iboboto kahit anong gawin ninyo. Kaya I don't know how can you change the mind of this 53%.

VP Leni Robredo's candidacy inspired us to push back against the lies and black propaganda spread by the other camp. People are now seeing through their B.S. claims and self-glorifying conspiracy theories. It's still a long fight, but it also mean we can enlighten more people!

Pero the 12% increase of Robredo didn’t come from BBM. That’s for sure. Never will the BBM supporters swing their votes to Leni. Never. Even if BBM be disqualified. Wishful thinking nalang si Leni. They have the worst strategy.

Saddened and worried that voters have lost the ability to discern and choose wisely. Even if things still change in the coming months, the fact remains that a real loser is the current front runner.

Unlike previous front runners like Villar and Binay who were at the peak of their political careers, this current front runner really has very little accomplishments EVER!

Newly-renovated Manila Zoo set to have soft opening on December 30

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Manila Zoo has a new look after its P1.8-billion face lift which began in 2019.

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno shared in a Facebook post on Wednesday a sneak peek at the soon-to-open new Manila Zoo during his quick tour at the site on Tuesday.

"Sa mga Manileño at lahat ng Pilipino, you deserve the best. Ang galing talaga ng Pilipinong manggagawa! Sana po magustuhan ninyo at ng pamilya niyo ang bagong Manila Zoo. Opening soon! :Advance Merry Christmas po" - Manila Mayor Isko Moreno.

Moreno and Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna visited the Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden on Tuesday night. The redeveloped facility aims to compete with the famous Singapore Zoo. The new Manila Zoo has its own sewage treatment plant.

Excited ka na ba? Malapit na muling mapasyalan ang bagong ayos na Manila Zoo!

The soft opening of the new Manila Zoo will be on Dec. 30, with families of 1,300 zoo construction workers to be treated as VIP guests.

The renovated zoo will have an Animal Museum, Botanical Garden, and Butterfly Garden. Moreno says Manila zoo, which he notes is patterned after Singapore Zoo, has a "state of the art sewage treatment plant" after the zoo was flagged for dumping untreated waste to Manila.

The public can expect elevated viewing decks, an animal museum, botanical and butterfly gardens, as well as a separated space for Filipino endemic animals and birds.

Mali, Manila Zoo’s lone elephant, gets a bigger enclosure with a bath and play area.

But the old portion of Mali’s enclosure has yet to be renovated as zoo keepers are having a hard time in encouraging the 49-year-old elephant to walk into her new home.

The zoo's only elephant who lived in a concrete enclosure for 40 years, is here to stay despite calls from animal rights groups to relocate her to a sanctuary.

"The entire Manila Zoo measures only 0.055 square kilometers, and Mali's enclosure is one small piece of that. For her physical well-being, Mali needs grass to cushion her aching joints and room to move, not a cramped pen," PETA says.

For years PETA has been calling on the city government to free Mali, who has suffered "potentially fatal cracked nails and foot pads, which are open to infection, and overgrown cuticles" due to living in a concrete enclosure for over four decades.

Zoo management said that tickets may have to be booked in advance as part of the park’s measures to curb the spread of #COVID19 within the park.

No one really cared about Manila Zoo until today. I really appreciate Isko Moreno for this. We should do more like this to preserve our animals and treat them with care. Excited to see if there will be a animal research facility soon. Naway maganda at kumportable ang mga animal enclosure sa newly renovated Manila Zoo.

Ang ganda po. Salamat po sa pag restore at pagpapaganda ng Manila Zoo. I pray na mawala na ang Covid19 so i can bring my family to enjoy this new zoo. We've been to Singapore zoo a few years back so I would want them to enjoy the one in our own country too. Naalala ko 'yung Night Safari sa Singapore, puro Pinoy crew nila kaya pwede natin dito gawin sa Manila Zoo.

After years of neglect, I can finally take my children to Manila Zoo!

Excellent job po, Mayor Isko!
