Walden Bello Believes Sen. De Lima Will Win Against Pres. Duterte

Former party-list congressman representing Akbayan, Rep. Walden Bello believes the controversial senator and former DOJ Secretary, Sen. Leila de Lima will win against Pres. Rody Duterte on her word war against the President.



According to Walden Bello, Sen. De Lima's courage regarding her word war against the 71-year-old President Duterte will surely favor her. Bello also added that main reason why Pres. Duterte attacked the senator was because he found in her a worthy opponent.

The former Akbayan Representative was quoted as saying "I also know she (De Lima) is one hell of a woman, who's not going to allow herself to be bullied into submission by a guy who's admitted [to] fabricating or planting evidence to get rid of people in the past."

Walden Bello also believes that our government under the leadership of Pres. Rody Duterte is made up of 98% Duterte ass kissers, which makes De Lima "indespensible" because she is not afraid to stand up against the President. That is the reason why he is angry at her, says Bello.

The Akbayan Representative added further that "That's really the reason Mr. D is persecutng her, because he can't stand any opposition."

Walden Bello even said that the President of the Philippines, Pres. Duterte announced that Sen. De Lima is finished, the President might be talking about himself.

"Siguro sarili niya (Duterte) [ang] tinutukoy niya, kasi sigurado ako na sa laban na ito, hindi yung senadora ang aatras."

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

DOF opposes tiered approach to tax on sugary drinks

© Provided by Mediamerge Corporation MONEY- Tax thumbnail The Department of Finance (DOF) is not amenable to Senator Juan Edgardo Angara's suggestion to implement the proposed levy on sugar sweetened beverages via a three-tier system. "We oppose the tiered approach. Meaning 'yung first seven grams will be tax free and then after that would be taxable," Finance Undersecretary Karl Chua said during the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP) Economic Forum in Manila on Friday. Chua note the tiered approach may compel manufacturers to come up with smaller packaging. "So you can drink three of them with no taxes," the Finance official said. It will defeat the purpose of imposing excise tax on sugary drinks as a health measure, he added. During deliberations on the comprehensive tax reform bill, Angara floated the idea of implementing the excise tax on sugar sweetened beverages under a three-tier system to incentivize those who manufactu...
