A photo of a nun leading the protest of some children is currently circulating online and caught the attentions of some netizens who aired their concerned for the children.

Atty. Rivera noted on his post that "At bata pa ang ginagamit ninyo. Yung hindi naman alam ang Martial Law kasi malamang mga magulang niyan, hindi din pinanganak nung Martial Law. Chances are, nirequire niyo lang sila magrally dyan" Atty. Rivera stated.


Here's the Complete Statements of Atty. Bruce Rivera:

THIS IS DISTURBING

I will always believe in God because I was raised Catholic. But this picture is disturbing to me as a Catholic who was made to believe that forgiveness and compassion are God's teaching.

Kapag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay! Ito ba ang tinapay na sinasabi ninyo, Sister?

Ang hindi magpatawad kahit sa patay. Ang magtanim ng galit kasi hindi ninyo naipakulong ang pamilya Marcos kahit dalawang Aquino na ang namuno sa bansa at walang nagawa para ipaghiganti ang biktima ng Martial Law. Iyan ba ang itinuturo ninyo?

Kasi hindi naman yan ang tinuro sa amin. Kahit sa pag-aaral ko ng abogasya sa San Beda, tinuro sa akin na may hustisya sa lupa pero ang pinakamataas na hustisya ang yung paghahatol ng Diyos. Kaya, sa pagkamatay ni Marcos, nahatulan na siya ng Maykapal duon at hindi na tayo dapat magtanim ng poot at galit.

At bata pa ang ginagamit ninyo. Yung hindi naman alam ang Martial Law kasi malamang mga magulang niyan, hindi din pinanganak nung Martial Law. Chances are, nirequire niyo lang sila magrally dyan.

Naalala ko tuloy ang smear campaign against PRRD during election time na gamit ay mga bata din na nagbackfire sa LP at kay Roxas.

Ito ba ang gawain ng disente, sister? Kasi kung disente ito, baka ibang diyos ang nagturo nito at hindi ang mahabaging Diyos na kilala ko.

At nagtataka kayo bakit dumadami ang nagiging makasalanan? Baka naman nalilito lang sila kasi iba ang tinuturo ng Diyos sa ginagawa ninyo.

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 ...
