Netizen's Explanations of "Bawal at Hindi Bawal" Went Viral on Social Media

A concerned netizen share his views on what is prohibited and legal under the Philippines rule of law. The statement of Jojo A. Robles came out after the alleged continuous protests by the anti-Marcos due to the fact that the late President was already buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.


According to Robles protesting is not prohibited but those  who are planning to overthrow a legitimate government is really illegal or prohibited by law. Protesting against the government is everyone's right but planning to overthrow a government is a crime.

The post of Jojo A. Robles was also posted by some of the Philippines most popular social media defenders of Pres. Rody Duterte that includes Mocha Uson and Adolfo Mortera to name a few.

Here's the Complete Statement of Jojo A. Robles:

BAWAL AT HINDI BAWAL

Hindi bawal magprotesta. Pero bawal magpabagsak ng lehitimong gobyerno. Ang una ay karapatan, ang pangalawa ay krimen -- lalo na kung hindi ka magtatagumpay. 

Hindi din bawal ang magkaroon ng sariling paniniwala. Pero bawal mamilit ng hindi nakikiisa sa paniniwala mo at abusuhin ang iyong katungkulan para gamitin ang ibang tao (lalo na ang mga wala pa sa sapat na gulang) para isulong ito.

Hindi din bawal ang himukin ang ibang tao na sumama sa iyo sa iyong pagkilos. Pero kapag ang paanyaya ay upang lumabag sa batas (katulad ng maghukay ng walang pahintulot sa isang libingan), maaari kang papanagutin.

Lalong hindi bawal ang magpahayag ng opinyon na taliwas sa paninindigan at pangako ng gobyerno, kahit na opisyal ka pa ng gobyernong iyon. Magmumukha ka lang walang tunay na paninindigan, dahil ayaw mong umalis sa pwesto at nananatili ka sa gobyerno na lagi mo namang kinakalaban -- hindi bawal ang walang paninindigan, ang bawal ay ang pilitin ka na manilbihan sa gobyernong hindi mo pinaniniwalaan.

Mukha ka lang desperada at sabik sa pwesto. Wala namang bawal doon, di ba?
Higit sa lahat, hindi bawal maging tamad at maniwalang hindi na kailangang kumilos sa loob ng 30 taon, dahil sa maling paniniwala na ang ayaw mo ay ayaw din ng lahat ng tao. Ang tawag lang dun, tanga. 

At hindi pa ipinagbabawal, sa abot ng aking nalalaman, ang maging tanga.

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...

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 ...
