On February 21, 2018, Philippines Defense Forces Forum posted this photo and brief note:
It was Dr. Ciel Habito who asked Pernia that questions. Now notice this statement:
Last week, Dr. Pernia replied in my fb wall where I tagged him on this subject. He wrote,
I replied, " Ok Sir Ernie, what is the non-malicious explanation why
(a) PH government should get new foreign loans when many projects were already
under integrated PPP (not "hybrid" that require new loans, or new
public spending and hence, new taxes), and (b) why China loans considering that
China interest rates are high, and China Communist Party is a theft of PH
territory?
NEDA secretary Ernesto Pernia admits China's interest
rate of 3% is much higher than Japan's 0.25%-0.75%, in talk in front of
businessmen and economists this afternoon.
Asked why the government is availing more of China's
expensive loans than Japan's cheaper offer Pernia could only reply
"Because we need more friends". #IdolNiDuterte #ChinaPuppet
"Pernia admits China's interest rate of 3% is much
higher than Japan's 0.25%-0.75%... because 'we need more friends.'"
Ok, PH taxpayers are "less
friends" of the Duterte administration that is why we must pay more taxes via TRAIN and they will give more
money to their "more friends" China Communist Party. Magaleeeng.
To the Dutertenomists and TRAIN rah-rah boys and girls --
eto abangan nyo: the main purpose of "more revenues via TRAIN" is not
exactly more infra but more payment for China loans. We have NLEX, SCTEX,
TPLEX, SLEX, STAR, CAVITEX, NAIAEX, Skyways, etc even without big tax hikes.
Lots of "hybrid PPP" were actually integrated PPP before President Duterte came to
power.
Integrated PPP means no need for new ODA, new loans from
China or elsewhere, no need for tax-tax-tax because the private builders of
those big infra have the financial, technical and engineering resources,
network to build those behemoth structures at minimal cost to taxpayers (only
right of way cost, etc). Hybrid PPP means more loans, especially from the China
communist party.
Recall also that when Ernesto Pernia was newly appointed
as NEDA chief, he justified the series of drugs murders as "necessary
evil."

@SecPernia: First basket of infra projects for Chinese
financing includes Kaliwa Dam, Chico River Pump Irrigation, North-South Railway
south line between Manila and Bicol.

Wow, tax-tax-tax de TRAIN so that PH govt can pay these
big loans fr China? Horrible. These shd be integrated PPPs and not charged to
taxpayers.

Japan offers better quality performance at cheaper cost.
Why in heaven’s name will you burden us with this preposterous idea?
@bendeveraINQ
@SecPernia: But the Japanese had been slow in process of
financing projects, while the Chinese has become more aggresive @InquirerBiz
@bendeveraINQ
@SecPernia: Chinese loans, at best, slapped 2-3% interest
per annum vs. Japan soft loans/ODA at 0.25-0.75%, but we haven’t signed loan
agreements with China yet DD-biz-INQUIRES_
@bendeveraINQ
Pernia: We don’t want a repeat of our previous experience
with China (referring to NBN-ZTE deal), that’s why PH and Chinese govts
established vetting process for Chinese firms bidding for PH projects under
@NEDAhq ICC @InquirerBiz.
Now see this report,
3 Chinese firms interested in Kaliwa dam
February 16, 2018 | 12:15 am
"Under the previous administration, the P18.72-billion Kaliwa dam had two pre-qualified bidders, which are now out of the picture... It used to be a public-private partnership, with MWSS as implementing agency.
Since the project is funded by ODA from China, Mr. Velasco said there will be no pre-qualification stage since the Chinese embassy identifies the three pre-qualified companies."
Another big China loan, contractors and suppliers identified by China embassy, very likely cronies of the China Communist Party. PH goverment agencies will wait for the terms and say "Yes", and PH taxpayers will pay for the bill, courtesy of TRAIN de tax-tax-tax.
From sir Doy Segundo E Romero, Feb. 22:
"ON CHINA'S HEGEMONIC ACTIONS AGAINST THE
PHILIPPINES
A few weeks ago, an EU ambassador posted in Sri Lanka
repeated to me what a Chinese diplomat told him: 'No big deal. The Philippines
is not even a real country.' Nasaktan talaga ako."
"Nonoy Oplas got it all wrong — making a comment without
even knowing the context. Rather unscholarly and malicious!"
I will apologize for my statements above if these can be
clarified. Thank you."
As I expected, no further reply or clarification.
