Walden Bello Believes Sen. De Lima Will Win Against Pres. Duterte

Former party-list congressman representing Akbayan, Rep. Walden Bello believes the controversial senator and former DOJ Secretary, Sen. Leila de Lima will win against Pres. Rody Duterte on her word war against the President.



According to Walden Bello, Sen. De Lima's courage regarding her word war against the 71-year-old President Duterte will surely favor her. Bello also added that main reason why Pres. Duterte attacked the senator was because he found in her a worthy opponent.

The former Akbayan Representative was quoted as saying "I also know she (De Lima) is one hell of a woman, who's not going to allow herself to be bullied into submission by a guy who's admitted [to] fabricating or planting evidence to get rid of people in the past."

Walden Bello also believes that our government under the leadership of Pres. Rody Duterte is made up of 98% Duterte ass kissers, which makes De Lima "indespensible" because she is not afraid to stand up against the President. That is the reason why he is angry at her, says Bello.

The Akbayan Representative added further that "That's really the reason Mr. D is persecutng her, because he can't stand any opposition."

Walden Bello even said that the President of the Philippines, Pres. Duterte announced that Sen. De Lima is finished, the President might be talking about himself.

"Siguro sarili niya (Duterte) [ang] tinutukoy niya, kasi sigurado ako na sa laban na ito, hindi yung senadora ang aatras."

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 ...

Inflation weighs more than the exchange rate – economic team

© Provided by Mediamerge Corporation MONEY- peso dollar thumbnail Economic managers of the Duterte administration reiterated their stand on the recent depreciation of the peso against the dollar, saying that managing inflation is of utmost concern. "Managing the inflation rate rather than the exchange rate is more important for us," Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III told reporters during a forum organized by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines in Manila on Tuesday. "Better to look at management of inflation rather than the management of exchange rate," Dominguez said. The foreign exchange rate is determined by market forces, the Cabinet official noted. "It's healthier to have an exchange rate that is determined by the market," Dominguez said. The government is targeting an inflation rate of 3 percent, ± 1 percentage point, in 2017 to 2019. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) earlier said that inflation remains ...
