Conditions Warranting

SENATE PRESIDENT Juan Ponce Enrile and House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte make it clear that the amendment they are working at doing in the Philippine Constitution will not be doing away with the 40/60 ownership ratio that must be guaranteed for ownership of properties by foreign entities in the country in order to make the law of the land "flexible" to changing business environment. The First Amendment will involve making it possible for the Congress to change the ratio when "warranted."

Just what conditions that warrants increasing the foreign ownership ratio in order to be flexible? This opening can end up giving foreigners 90/10 over Philippine properties.

50 Cents a-Rap

American rapper 50 Cents continued to attack Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao in Twitter on recycled and outdated charges on steroids while praising his friend and now legally in trouble Floyd Mayweather. 50 Cents is just being his nature and perhaps sole talent--a rapper--and is just rapping with envy at Pacman.

Cyclone Category 5

Queensland, Australia-resident Ric Marino told ANC of a cyclone category 5. He said: "Once people hear there's a categor 5 cycle, they shop excessively. When we go to the shopping centeres, there are many empty shelves. A retailer worth his mettle will have to ask Marino this question: "Is there a way Australia can manufacture Cyclone Category 5 and send it to the Philippines at least once a month?"

Hide-and-Seek

Head of the CJ Corona defense team, Serafin Cuevas, admitted in Philippine Daily Inquirer that “If only they (senator-judges) let the prosecution ask questions, those documents (SALNs) would not have been disclosed." This is tantamount to an admission that the Corona defense refused to hand to the Impeachment Court that SALNs, and had to be forced by the Court to make that happen. So much the truthful in lawyering.
