@WilsonLeeFlores @limbertqc @mikevchua @SagadaSun Phil. politicians r not xenophobic & anti-business. They're simply business extortionists.

@limbertqc @WilsonLeeFlores @karadavid Why ban buses from skyway? People need not bring their cars as buses on skyway reduce travel time.

@maria_ressa @bethangsioco Instead of divorce law, why not renewable marriage. Every 3 or 5 yrs, marriage annulled. Couples just renew it.

@bethangsioco @maria_ressa Renewable marriage not a joke if a legislative bill. Apply to civil wedding only, church not coverd by natl laws

@Montberte "Every absurdity has a champion who will defend it." LOL, so true. If theres politics involved, even natural sci becomes pol sci.

@SagadaSun @KAREN_DAVIL Akbayan & Bayan are not mortal enemies. They're both socialist leaning. They only disagree on form of struggle.

@SagadaSun @teddycasino @KAREN_DAVIL Ronald L is explicit socialist but many silent socialists in PNoy govt, They love endless subsidies.

@SagadaSun Combination of SocDems & Akbayan in PNoy govt. NatDems sided with Manny Villar in last elections, so they're outsiders now.

@WilsonLeeFlores @TgGuingona Sen Serge is correct. For me, RE law is energy cronyism & robbery. We ord electricity consumers will suffer.

Man walks into Doctor’s and says “Doctor, I think I’m addicted to Twitter.” Doctor looks at him and says “Sorry, I don’t follow you.

@newsbreak_ph Can't mil generals retire as priv citizens, not as recycled bureaucrats? Cant they become net taxpayers, not tax receivers?

@GoYoLarrazabal If "EDSA has too many buses", no need add'l regulation, some will fade away if they lose money due to stiff competition.

@GoYoLarrazabal "drivers recklessly try to jockey for position" That's natural. MMDA need enforce its rules on loading, no need add'l rules.

@GoYoLarrazabal Govt dictates franchising, traffic, loading rules for buses. Even in salaries setting, govt will dictate? Not good.,

@funnyoneliners "I'm so far behind I thought I was first." LOL. Opposite is: I run so fast in an oval that I bumped my back.

@TgGuingona "gobyerno, feeling nila, sila may-ari ng pera ng bayan" Enforce d rule of law. No 1 went to jail yet w/ so many corupt govt ppol

@teddycasino "Global crisis looms" Yes, crisis of BIG govt debts, crisis of fiscal irresponsibility, living beyond their means for decades.

@migzzubiri "change should start from within us." True. Have more personal responsib, less govt responsib, in running people's own lives.

@mlq3 "The jobless future" Many central planners like this fictional scenario. Gives them rationale to intervene, regulate, to "avert" this.

@mlq3 "Nation Without a Govt Still a Nation? Case of Belgium" Govt there is all around: various natl govt agencies + local govts.

@Karen_DaviLa Educ, health, housing, agri, pub works for d poor on-going, then CCT for d poor, soon condoms & ligation for d poor.
