Ira Panganiban Lambasts Sen. De Lima & Mar Roxas Joining the Anti-Marcos Protest

Veteran journalist Ira Panganiban, one of the netizen who is always active on social media reacted over the highly-publicized Anti-Marcos rally happened during the Bonifacio Day.


According to Ira Panganiban, the rally became a partisan gathering right after he saw that Sen. Leila De Lima and former Presidential candidate Mar Roxas joined the rally at EDSA.

The veteran journalist noted that he respected the rights of the protesters because it is part of their respective rights of freedom of expression, but when Mar Roxas and Sen. De Lima joined it, the essence of the rally vanished.

The Anti-Marcos Rally against the burial of the late President was stained with political interest. He also hoped that the message of what Anti-Marcos convey was not ruined by the presence of the alleged greedy LP members.


Here's the Complete Statement of Ira Panganiban:

I can respect the anti-Marcos rally for all their bluster and emotion. The victims do deserve justice in whatever form they can have it.

Pero nung sumali na at parang namumuno na sina Mar Roxas at Leila de Lima, nagunaw na ang maskara ng pagkilos at naging partisan na ito tungo sa interes ng mga dilaw.

Sayang ang mga boses kaninang mas maaga. Sana hindi nasira ang mensahe ng pagkilos dahil sa kasakiman ng dalawang ito sa kapangyarihan.

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.

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

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 ...
