Sass Rogando Sasot Chides VP Leni Robredo for Giving Unsolicited Advice to Pres. Duterte

Political analyst and a well-known supporter of Pres. Rody Duterte on social media, Sass Rogando Sasot criticized Vice President Leni Robredo for giving unsolicited advice to Pres. Duterte as the VP wants the President to focus on War on Poverty and not on War on Drugs.

 
During VP Robredo's speech in a forum hosted by the UP School of Economics, she called on Pres. Dutert to help the poor by focusing on the war against poverty and to lead the country in respecting human rights.

VP Robredo stated that the Philippines cannot be saved by "false prophets of change who claim tha they are the people's last hope."

The Vice President added further that "Poverty is the real problem, but we are distracted by political agenda and ambition. Mr. President, we call you to task. In behalf of the Filipino people, whose daily struggles are escalating, we ask you to focus on the war that really matters: the war on poverty. Our people are hungry, jobless and poor,” the Vice President said.

Due to the statement of Vice President Leni Robredo, netizens took to social media to criticize her statements enumerating some of the President's effort to eradicate poverty in the Philippines which the previous Aquino administration failed to solved.

According to Sass Sasot, she agrees with VP Leni Robredo's advice but asks something to the Vice President whether the projects of the Duterte admin are part of the War Against Poverty.

Here's the Complete Statement of Sass Rogando Sasot:

Leni Robredo wants Duterte to focus on War on Poverty. Okay, Leni, does that include:

- giving free irrigation to farmers
- fast and efficient social welfare services
- reforming the constitution so we could attract more investors
- free medicine and hospitalisation for those who can't afford it
- free tertiary education for those who can't afford it
- microloans for small and medium enterprises
- land reform
- 1000 SSS hike

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...
