FVR Resigned. Solicitor General and Netizens Commented Regarding His Resignation.



The resignation of  former President as Special Envoy to China under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte draws different reactions among the netizens.

Former president Ramos was appointed by President Duterte on July as special envoy to China to thaw The Phil-China relations regarding the tension in West Philippine Sea due to territory dispute."The moment the President came back from China from a successful state visit I resigned as special envoy to China because the officials have taken over," Ramos said."I've done my job to... break the ice and to help restore the ties of goodwill and friendship," he added.
The former president wrote several opinion columns criticizing President Duterte.

The netizens experessed various reactions about Ramos' resignation,one of which is the Solicitor General Jose Calida Himself."If all he does is criticize PRRD,then good riddance," he said.


Another comment reads:
"I find it amusing that Duterte even invited FVR to be the special envoy to China when FVR is so pro US and his rule was marked by several negative incidents with China. Parang iginisa siya ni Duterte sa sarili nyang mantika .


Some commenters cannot help but to recall the former president's regime,comparing his leadership to President Duterte,even saying that the country's situation is far better off today than during his term. 
"Ngaun pa na andami ng magagandang nangyari sa pilipinas,cmula umupo c pres digong safe na lugar nmin...pero cmula naging president ka natapos term mo hanggang bago umupo c tatay digong lalong nabaon sa utang ang pilipinas lalong dumami mga adik lalong dumami corrupt....ngaun mo malalaman ang kasabihan...WATCH AND LEARN!!!

Meanwhile,Malacañang said they had not received the former president's resignation yet as of Monday.
Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said that they have not received FVR's resignation."Moreover,it is not true that the former president can no longer have any role in our engagement with China," Andanar said.

China's plans to hire Filipino household workers to their five major cities including Beijing and Shanghai, was reported at a local newspaper Philippine Star. it could be a big break for the household workers who are trying their luck in finding greener pastures by working overseas  China is offering up to P100,000  a month, or about HK$15,000. The existing minimum allowable wage for a foreign domestic helper in Hong Kong is  around HK$4,310 per month.  Dominador Say, undersecretary of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), said that talks are underway with Chinese embassy officials on this possibility. China’s five major cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen will soon be the haven for Filipino domestic workers who are seeking higher income.  DOLE is expected to have further negotiations on the launch date with a delegation from China in September.   according to Usec Say, Chinese employers favor Filipino domestic workers for their English proficiency, which allows them to teach their employers’ children.    Chinese embassy officials also mentioned that improving ties with the leadership of President Rodrigo Duterte has paved the way for the new policy to materialize.  There is presently a strict work visa system for foreign workers who want to enter mainland China. But according Usec. Say, China is serious about the proposal.   Philippine Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello said an estimated 200,000 Filipino domestic helpers are  presently working illegally in China. With a great demand for skilled domestic workers, Filipino OFWs would have an option to apply using legal processes on their desired higher salary for their sector.

CONGRESS APPROVES NEW TELCO PLAYER IN THE PHILIPPINES





When we talk about telecommunication companies, two things comes first to our mind, Smart (PLDT) and Globe telecom, the two telecommunication giants in the country.

But not anymore a few years from now. It is because Congress has already approved the application of this new potential telco in the Philippines.

Source:https://www.senate.gov.ph/lis/bill_res.aspx?congress=16&q=HBN-5844

The name? - Avocado Broadband Telecoms. In the moment of writing, the company and people behind this telcos are not yet known. They don't have a website and so far, records about the company are not available.

But their franchise was deemed approved after Republic Act No. 10895 was not immediately acted upon by the Office of the President and lapsed on June 30, 2016.





According to the website of www.senate.gov.ph, the law originated as House Bill No. 5844 and was filed on November 2, 2015.

It was passed by the House of the Representative on October 9, 2015, amended by the Senate on February 1, 2016, and which amendment was concurred in by the House of Representatives on May 23, 2016.

Source: https://www.senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/ra%2010895.pdf


On June 16 this year, the bill was submitted to the Office of the President and eventually lapsed into a law on June 30, 2016.

Republic Act 10895 is also known as "An Act Granting The Avocado Broadband Telecoms, Inc. A Franchise to Construct, Install, Establish, Operate, and Maintain Telecommunication Systems Throughout the Philippines."

(WATCH:New Telco: Avocado Broadband Telecoms)





In some news report, a certain Val Antonio Suarez is a Director and Corporate Secretary of the telecoms company since 2015. 

Atty. Suarez was also the President and CEO of the Phil. Stock Exchange from June 2010 to December of the same year.

So far that's the only information regarding the Avocado Broadband Telecoms.

Will Avocado be the third telecom player to give Smart and Globe some competition? Let's wait and see.

Watch: This Fisherman Paints Almost Real Duterte Portrait






Photo courtesy of King Rodriguez
The artist, Macky Bongabong grew up sewing fish nets and fishing with his father. He recalled they would usually fish for weeks in "Hulbot hulbot boat" together with other fishermen. And then during Saturdays and Sundays, he would be sewing as many fish nets with his father near the port. 



"In the 90s I grew up familiarizing the types of fish I see in the ocean of Jolo Sulu. At a young age, I would join the 'Hulbot hulbot' (fishing boat) with the adults to fish in the sea for weeks. I was raised near the shores of Sangali, Zamboanga City...  My late father Alberto Bongabong was a very hardworking papa. He would teach me how to sew nylon fishing nets that later became my part time job during high school. Saturdays and Sundays were my bonding time with him as we would sit together near the port and sew as many nets as we can. In the evening, I would rush home after a busy day to join my mama in prayer exactly every six o'clock."

As a young boy, Macky showed inclination in arts. He would join as much art competition that he could  in school. He also aspired to join competitions outside their town. And he would usually give the prize money to his mother in order to help in the house. 
" I have almost joined every art competition in school and would always aspire to join bigger ones outside our town, but money was hard to come by even just for a bus ride. It wasn't always sweet. I failed in so many competitions many times. Nevertheless, in all the times that I won, I would give all the cash prize to my mother. It was a habit, or should I say instinctual, so I can help provide for food."

The artist who painted the beautiful portrait of the current President of the Philippines is Mart Henry Macky Bongabong. According to his Facebook account, from fisherman, to presidential portrait artist.

Fisherman to Presidential portrait artist- 
By Macky Bongabong

"In the 90s I grew up familiarizing the types of fish I see in the ocean of Jolo Sulu. At a young age, I would join the 'Hulbot hulbot' (fishing boat) with the adults to fish in the sea for weeks. I was raised near the shores of Sangali, Zamboanga City. My late father Alberto Bongabong was a very hardworking papa. He would teach me how to sew nylon fishing nets that later became my part time job during high school. Saturdays and Sundays were my bonding time with him as we would sit together near the port and sew as many nets as we can. In the evening, I would rush home after a busy day to join my mama in prayer exactly every six o'clock.
My youth was very colorful I can say at least. Growing up in the environment of survival, I strived for creativity. I have almost joined every art competition in school and would always aspire to join bigger ones outside our town, but money was hard to come by even just for a bus ride. It wasn't always sweet. I failed in so many competitions many times. Nevertheless, in all the times that I won, I would give all the cash prize to my mother. It was a habit, or should I say instinctual, so I can help provide for food.

After my mom passed away in 1999 we moved to Pagadian City where I continued high school studies. Finally, during my 4th year, I won as a champion in the National Poster Making Contest by the Philippine Association of Water District held in Bacolod city 2003. It was my greatest achievement that time. I remembered I jumped from my seat after they declared that I won! but I cried later knowing that I could not give the cash prize to my mama Evelyn anymore. That time, 30,000 pesos was of great value. She would have been very proud.

It has been spread around our town that Davao City is a very safe place. Eventually, I found myself riding a bus going to Davao. Not knowing anyone in the city I spent my first night sleeping on the sidewalk of Uyanguren (Magsaysay St.). It was my first experience of a peaceful sleep on the street.

Davao city is indeed a beautiful and peaceful place to live in. I said to myself, "this will be my home until I'm old" Still, I needed work to survive. I believe you will find a way if you really wanted to. I started to do portrait art commissions and many Dabawenyos started to appreciate my artworks but it wasn't always a smooth road after that. I had to go through a lot of ups and downs in the process. There were times customers would return my painting and get a refund because I didn't get the exact likeness of their photos. I learned to humble myself and accept correction. I spent days and nights practicing.

I started dreaming of having a small shop inside the mall. Little by little, from one client and to another, I saved money and was finally able to afford a 1x3.5 meters space inside Victoria plaza beside Kodak. I started my shop in January 2013 and expanded by March that same year, but this time, inside a prestige mall, Abreeza.

Earlier this year, someone passed by my shop and gave a small piece of paper to my assistant. When I read it, it says, "The Office Of The President of the Philippines Manila" My eyes widened and my heart started to beat faster.

Now, my painting hangs in the wall of the People's Palace (Malacañang Palace). Who would have thought of a boy, just sewing fishing nets by the port, skin burnt by the sun would later be a part of Philippine History? His artwork hanging beside the works of Fernando Amorsolo and other national artists.

Thank you Mayor/Tatay/President for appreciating my gift to you. We love you.

We must not look at how small we are or how little we have but how big God is and how beautiful His plans are for us"
