Jusko kayo pa ba ang aatrasan ni VP @lenirobredo? Kaya niyang tumindig at kausapin kahit sino, ayusin lang ang sked. #LetLeniLead

Samantalang si LBM, willing pa ba magpa-interview kay Jessica Soho? See the difference? #MarcosDuwag #BBMDuwag
Also, not fair to attack VP @lenirobredo while omitting this crucial context. Who's biased now?
Also, unlike Jessica Soho who has no known bias against LBM, Cont/reras is known to be biased against VP Leni. Back in 2016 he teamed up with Da/vid Ya/p to question VP's lead using faulty data & analysis.

IMO Cont/reras must not join the interview w/VP.

Boy Abunda: May pagkakaiba ba ang ayuda at doleout?

LBM: Wala. Pareho lang. It's a transfer payment as they call it in economics. Walang kapalit, for example. Basta nagbibigay ka lang ng ayuda.

Hiyang-hiya naman ang conditional cash transfers. 🤷‍♂️
Rich of LBM to talk about OFWs. 🤬 The proportion of OFWs rose by about eightfold during the economic crisis in martial law. Bagsak kasi ang ekonomiya. Even my own parents left in the 1980s because of the dearth of good job opportunities here. Image
During martial law labor market conditions deteriorated. The unemployment rate doubled from 6.3% in 1972 to 12.6% in 1985.

Meanwhile, the underemployment rate rose from 12.7% in 1972 to 32.9% in 1984. Nearly 1 in 3 workers had insufficient pay!

No wonder andaming OFWs noon. Image

My boss is the Philippines' first ever Nobel laureate. Still speechless. #NobelPeacePrize2021
A proud moment for the Rappler family and the Philippines.
The moment @mariaressa learned about her Nobel Prize.

Here's my latest Rappler piece, co-written with @znsuzara. Build 3x was supposed to bring about a "golden age of infrastructure." But to make up for their lack of progress Duterte and his men took credit for projects started in previous administrations. 😤

Here are 10 examples:

1) Skyway Stage 3 (a public-private partnership or PPP project of the Aquino admin, launched in 2014) Image
2) LRT-2 East Extension Project (approved by the NEDA board way back in 2012) Image

THREAD: Thoughts, comments on the econ managers' super early pre-SONA forum.

Dominguez's preamble: "We need to divide the term of this admin. into 2 periods. The first is the period of growth & the second is the period of pandemic response." Alam na...

Dominguez: Because of rice tariffication, "rice is no longer the main contributor to our overall inflation rate."

Yeah, but now in 2021 inflation has picked up again, mainly because of meat & vegetable prices.
