Netizen Suggests How Public Officials Should Learn from Pres. Duterte's Handling of Disasters

A concerned netizen and columnist shared on her Facebook Page a very interesting comments on how public should learn from Pres. Rody Duterte's handling of disasters. Social media personality Malou Tiquia enumerated some of the things that every government officials should learn from the former Mayor of Davao City.


Malou Tiquia compared the previous administration's handling of disasters and how Pres. Duterte comforted the victims of Midsayap bombing and the victims of Bagyong Nina in just a short period of time.

Pres. Duterte's on the spot decision making right after every calamities and disasters was applauded on social media because he came out with a strong decision on the ground after he was briefed with the situation.

The columnist of The Manila Times, Malou Tiquia also lauded Pres. Duterte on how he handles his Cabinet members, the regional offices of frontline agencies who were on the ground as Bagyong Nina hit the country.

Here's the Complete Statement of Malou Tiquia:

This mayor from Davao who is now prez proved to all what executive experience is in handling disasters. From Midsayap to Catanduanes and CamSur, he was there. Unlike the previous head who was MIA for 3 days or over a week. He also made decisions on the ground, as briefed.
Several learnings:

1. For once (or because it has been so rare), the regional offices of frontline agencies were on the ground as #NinaPH hit. They were immediately out to check damages. It's not a uniform reaction but there was regional movements. (Take note #Federalist)

2. Cabinet secretaries can be reached and had updated data, real time, case in point, DA, DSWD and DPWH. (Take note, support staff was on hand)

3. AFP and PNP were on stand by (I hope the AFPCOE can be assigned back to responder status. That was a major lesson we should have learned from #YolandaResponse). Clearing roads are important to ensure last mile is reached. Building efforts need to be fast.

4. Prepositioning goods need to further be developed with data science so it is targeted by HH. Data science is also needed in building resilient communities (that is a green frontier where local talents can help)

5. We should really study having non politicos as members of the barangay so we ensure efficient distribution and not according to political association. That victims of tragedy need not line up but assistance is brought to them.

The impact of Duterte landing in Bicol a day after Nina I will no longer discuss, save the index went up for the "mass murderer" (right?). That he did not look kindly at the distribution of goods ("style bulok yan, ayaw na ayaw ko yan!) was on point to all politicos wanting and waiting to wade in. 

Key Takeaways: Government is here. We will help you. Get up. Recover fast.

Presidential orders were made. Let us see if concerned cabinet agencies will follow through.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

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 ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
