Netizens Compared Pres. Duterte & Pre. Obama's Arrival Photos in Beijing

A viral photo is now circulating online featuring the comparisons by some netizens of the two head of states, President Rody Duterte of the Philippines and Pres. Barrack Obama of the United States of America. Some netizens noted that during the visit of Pres. Obama he was greeted with a simple ceremony while Pres. Duterte was greeted with a lavish red carpet entrance.



The photo which was first posted in a Facebook Page supporting Pres. Duterte during the national elections asked their followers to find the difference between Pres. Duterte and Pres. Obama during their visit to China.

Most netizens were quick to respond the Pres. Duterte received a warm welcome with his red carpet entrance and a limousine service en route to his hotel while Pres. Obama received just an ordinary welcome from the Chinese government without the red carpet.

Pres. Rody Duterte arrived in Beijing on Tuesday night for a four-day state visit to China to discuss some pressing concerns between the two countries as well as to work various business ventures in the Philippines.

A netizen made an argument that the red carpet arrival accorded to President Duterte was due to the fact that he was visiting in a four-day state visit but Pres. Obama visited China together with various head of state during the G7 Summit in Beijing.

Whatever the reasons why the Chinese government and the Chinese people received warmly the Philippine President, as Filipinos we must be proud of our leader who did everything for all Filipinos to experience the much needed change in the Philippine society.

"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...

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 ...
