A plea to PH gov't officials: From an Indian friend

"Please stop using our country, India, as your dirty linen. To abuse our misery, that you are much better off; an excuse to give your self a pat on the back for doing what you would call as an excellent job is immoral..."

1/3 It is apathetic, insensitive. What we expect are sympathies and prayers, especially coming from a country that boasts itself as a christian nation.

Also, citing India as a comparison against your country is statistically faulty, as India has over a billion population and...

A D30 apologist, Dr Lulu Bravo when asked by Rico Hizon @cnnphilippines what we have been doing wrong as we breached 1 million infection.

(Visibly irked) "We are far much better compared to India..." - Bravo

Rico: "But India has a billion population and we're just a fraction." “Look at what is happening (India), it is still increasing… they are running out of oxygen, the hospitals are overwhelmed. People are just dying even before they can reach the hospital. I don’t think that is what is happening here in the Philippines..."

LGUs & Barangays should not be discouraged nor tire-out in implementing health safety protocol.

Maybe, pantries with big donors can share to other pantries to assist and encourage development of more pantries?

Tugade obviously washes his hands in the RFID mess, now blames the operators. Duterte not wanting to blame the owners instead blames the regulators, calling them "INCOMPETENT," for not conducting a dry run.

He surely knows what he is talking about, takes one to know one? In the middle of his ranting about the regulators, Duterte somehow mentioned that there was a Memorandum of Agreement between Tugade and the operators. Without having to dwell on the M.O.R., Duterte went on to pin down the regulators; if they cannot do the job they should resign.

Assumptions based on timeline:

*Since 2016 the president wanting to exact vengeance against ABS-CBN
*HoR dominated by the president's allie sat on the franchise in deference to the president?
*An Oligarch entered into the picture?
*Feb 10, 2020: SolGen filed a quo warranto

*Senate motu propio (unprecedented) conducted its own hearing

FICTAP chair Estrellita Juliano-Tamano, old as she is, is a dinosaur, analog thinking; using the argument "one frequency license equals to one channel or one program only."

WRONG. Sadly, @gmanetwork gave her the venue to cite her narrative without an expert to debunk her.
