Thinking Pinoy Lambasts Inquirer for Citing Wikipedia in an Article About Sen. Cayetano's Citizenship

One of the country's most prominent social media personality Thinking Pinoy lambasts Inquirer, a leading news daily allegedly involved in biased reporting against Pres. Duterte when they cited Wikipedia as their bases of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano's citizenship.


According to Thinking Pinoy, the author of the latest article of Inquirer is no other than US-based lawyer Rodel Rodis who cited Wikipedia as the bases of Sen. Cayetano's citizenship. The write attacked Sen. Cayetano by questioning the senator's citizenship on the ground that the latter was born to an American mother an a Filipino father.

The Inquirer article was written by Rodis without consulting first the side of Sen. Cayetano and even without checking Comelec case records showing that he points he raised have been resolved long ago.

In an article written by Thinking Pinoy on Facebook titled "Loida Pal Launches Demolition Job vs. Cayetano," he revealed that the Inquirer author belongs to Loida Nicolas-Lewis' Global Filipin Diaspora Council, an anti-administration group that shared the center stage with Robredo chief propagandist Pete Silva in #LeniLeaks.

Here's the Complete Statement of Thinking Pinoy:


LOIDA PAL LAUNCHES DEMOLITION JOB VS CAYETANO
Citing Wikipedia (lol), US-based lawyer Rodel Rodis wriote an article attacking Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano's citizenship on the ground that the latter was born to an American mother and a Filipino father, without consulting Cayetano's side on the matter and without checking Comelec case records showing that the points he raised have been resolved long ago, according to Cayetano in a Facebook live session conducted 14 hours after the article's publication (http://bit.ly/2mLVare

Well, I am not surprised.

Rodis belongs to Loida Nicolas-Lewis' Global Filipino Diaspora Council, a rabidly anti-Administration group that shared the center stage with Robredo chief propagandist Pete Silva in #LeniLeaks (http://bit.ly/2jiRzCc
).

Now, I presume that Rodis should be a pretty good lawyer for him to be made part of Inquirer's US Bureau.

Reviews about him, however, suggest otherwise.

Rodis' Avvo reviews indicate that he's "unprofessional", "awful", a "nightmare" and "just horrible" (http://bit.ly/2mLLWeD
).

Avvo is an online legal marketplace where users can post reviews of their experiences with lawyers.

One of Rodis' clients wrote a report in 2014 that reads:

"Rodel Rodis represented my family in a trust dispute, and came across as unprofessional in his correspondence, and significantly incredibly unknowledgeable regarding trust laws and litigation. He was embarrassing in his representation."

Is this the same reason why Rodis reportedly closed down his San Francisco offices (http://bit.ly/2nqfBNE

Inquirer, are people like Rodis good enough to write for your paper?

SERIOUSLY? A WRITER WHO CITES WIKIPEDIA?

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...
