So may Vaccine din pala na ''KOREAN''? as is MAGKANOKOREAN? Kawawa na naman tayong mga ordinaryong Pilipino nito! As a matter of opinion dapat bawasan muna yung pagpapapogi ng IATF,medyo na weweaponize na kasi yang issue ng bakuna para sa susunod na halalalan.Baka kalabas labas nyan sa 2022 maging ''iboto mo at ituturok ko'' labanan!2 points

Lacson bares vaccine kickback attempt SEN. Panfilo Lacson said the Senate hearing on the governmentโs mass immunization program against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) had exposed an attempt by some people to pocket $350 million or P16.8 billion in public funds in the form of kickbacks. KICKVACC? Sen. Panfilo Lacson delivers the first privilege speech for the year, questioning the lack of transparency involving the procurement of Sinovac vaccines. โAt the center of the firestorm that had almost consumed the two-day-long hearings and had consumed us the most was the Sinovac vaccine for a number of reasons,โ the senator said in a privilege speech. When the Senate hearings raised more questions than answers about Sinovac, โour officials were both tongue-tied and stuttering, leaving us with a string of flip-flopping pronouncements,โ he stressed. โPerhaps if the Senate did not tackle the controversy on Sinovac and assuming the [supposed] original price of P3,629 or $38 per two doses or P1,814 equivalent to $19 per shot was followed, compared to the $5 [price] in Thailand, easily the price difference of 25 million doses would fetch $350 million or P16.8 billion [savings for the government or kickbacks for some people],โ Lacson said in Filipino and English. โThat being said, I am not prepared to accuse anyone in particular of corruption. Rather, it defies logic to suspect at least an attempt to overprice the vaccine,โ Lacson pointed out. โAgain, when there is an attempt at overpricing, isnโt it also logical to think na may kikita ng limpak-limpak na salapi (that someone will earn huge amount of money [from this vaccine procurement])?โ he added. โWhen the Pfizer issue came about, we asked: โWho dropped the ball?โ We havenโt even gotten a clear answer, Mr. President. And now, on the Sinovac vaccine, we ask, โWho dropped the price?โ he asked. Lacson agreed that Sen. Francis Pangilinanโs resolution that led to the Committee of the Whole hearings helped expose the seeming overprice of Sinovac. Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said the inconsistencies in the price of vaccines had created apprehension among the people. โThe public is worried that some people may be getting kickbacks from the procurement of vaccines,โ he said. โLet us not forget that under our Constitution, right to information is a basic rule. The people deserve the truth,โ the senator added. โNow, Secretary [Carlito] Galvez [Jr.] said that the price cannot be revealed because there is confidentiality agreement. That I dispute but I am willing to concede,โ he continued. โI am disputing that because in the case of Chavez vs Public Estates Authority, the Supreme Court said the people are entitled to know what happens at every stage of the negotiation,โ Drilon said. โMy message to Secretary Galvez, you said that you have signed a term sheet. If there is a term sheet, it shows there the price, volume and schedule of delivery.โ โWhat was written there? That is no longer covered by confidentiality [clause] because it has been signed already. The term sheet can no longer be changed,โ Drilon said in Filipino. โFor me, Secretary Galvez, this is your obligation to inform the people. These are public funds. The people have the power to demand information as stated in our Constitution and Supreme Court,โ he stressed. โThey say why politicize [the vaccine procurement]? Weโre not politicizing it. Weโre only examining the administrationโs statements. Bakit ba kasi ayaw sabihin kung magkano (Why do they refuse to reveal the price)?โ he asked. Pangilinan said the Senate in its hearings broke the pattern of overpricing in various Covid-related products, including the price for the Sinovac vaccine. Drilon said decisions on the choice of vaccines should be made on the basis of science: โBefore you inoculate our countrymen, you must be sure that it is safe and you must be sure that it is effective. The publicโs confidence on our vaccination program is a big boost to recover our economy.โ LINK TO ORIGINAL ARTICLE https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/01/19/news/headlines/lacson-bares-vaccine-kickback-attempt/829523/2 points

Nakakalungkot! Pagkalipas ng tatlompu't dalawang(32) taon ay winakasan na ang kasunduan ng UP at DND na pinapayagan ang UP campus na mag sagawa ng pag titipon laban man o para man sa gobyerno...Ang rason daw? naging at patuloy pa ring nagiging ''breeding ground'' ito ng mga makakaliwa at komunistang organisasyon! Eh sir paano naman yung diskarte ng mga pulis natin dyan sa mga darating na panahon? Kung baga dyan na nga lang yung masasabi mo na pwede mong sabihin yung kabulukan ng lipunan eh..babawiin nyo pa? beke nemen ser megbege pe esep nye? Sabihin na natin na'' meron'' talagang nahihikayat yung mga makakaliwa at mga komunista dyan at talagang umaakyat ng bundok! pero paano naman po yung mga talaga namang may ipinaglalaban tulad ng rally para wag itaas yung tuition fee? yung para sa kalikasan? at iba pang -cause oriented groups na wala namang kinalaman sa komunista? UP is the only place in the PH with a sufficient space or ground to massively organized towards a certain cause with out any permit and that the police keep thier distance( though spying is real), the media covers the anti-government protest but not the ''other'' protest by non-partisan cause oriented groups. The thing is that if communism is the enemy then take it by the horn and not by the tail. Lusubin nyo sila sa bundok at ubusin1 pero hwag naman yung karapatan na nag tipon at sumigaw!

If you're thinking of a hotel in the Metro, I'd recommend ARUGA in Rockwell. All the great dining options in the area are within walking distance Or you could try EDSA Shang. The adjacent mall is not too shabby either1 point
