Retards in the Government 19

This is part 19 of Retards in the Government. In this edition we tread the same old ground: corruption and stupidity in the Philippine government at every single level. On the stupidity front we here at Philippinefails look forward to new presidential spokesperson Harry Roque to bring us much needed comic relief.

What "independent agencies" is he referring to? The PDEA, the Ombudsman, these are just two independent offices which are charged with these kind of investigations.  So let the investigation begin!

President Duterte also said he was not interested in the presidency several times before he jumped into the race. Sara Duterte said she was not interested in a national position and then said she will be running for a seat in the House, a national position. Only time will tell what her real intentions are.
Roque, nevertheless, said his presence in the President’s camp could provide the proper legal context to Mr. Duterte’s often controversial statements, which include threats to kill people he thinks are destroying the country.
You know what would be best of all?  If Duterte did not curse and make death threats. But Duterte is so out of control he just can't manage to do that.

To quote British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli: "There are three kinds of liesliesdamned lies, and tweets based on fake news and posted by R.J. Nieto." The real source of this fake news is apparently this.
If you ask some they will say investments and business is booming in the Philippines. Facts seem to say otherwise. All the investment though? It's the government borrowing money to pay for Duterte's Build Build Build program. And after the building of roads what money will be paying to Maintain, Maintain, Maintain?

Duterte is no economist. His lousy "Dutertenomics" program which has its foundations rooted in borrowing trillions to pay for infrastructure projects is proof of that. The EU is more than just an economic region. It is also a political entity wherein the member states agree to give up aspects of sovereignty in exchange for admission. Is that what Dutere wants? Not to mention the EU is plagued with social and economic problems enough. The member nations of the ASEAN are already among the most corrupt in the world. This is a bad idea. Just as bad as the BBL and federalism.

Truly it's the beginning of a wonderful circus side show. This guy even wants to have weekly updates in Marawi! What a wasteful and dangerous thing to do. Someone else has aptly described the Harry Roque situation and I will end with his assessment.
