It takes two to tango

It is unfair to connote that some police officers are the unfaithful kind. Even their spouses also take advantage of them, even in death.

This is what we found out when the PNP cleansed the roster of its pensioners. An interesting find is that widows of dead police officers took advantage of their survivorship pensions.

One classic example is a cop’s widow who had a new boyfriend a few weeks after her husband’s burial. But she did not marry her new beau to avoid being disqualified from receiving her late husband’s pension.

 

 

Sacrifice

Iloilo City consumers know very well that PECO’s facilities were “dilapidated and outdated.” If MORE Power does not fix the problems, why the heck we replaced PECO by stripping it of its franchise?

Brownouts are inevitable while MORE Power fixes the problems it “inherited” from PECO. It’s just like fixing your electrical wirings and outlets in your house, you need to turn off the main switch to avoid accidents and even death.

If you fix your plumbing, you close the taps and valves. If you change your car oil, you leave it in the shop for hours.

But the reward for these sacrifices is peace of mind once the problems get fixed.

This is the universal truth: convenience requires sacrifice.

We endured brownouts, erroneous billings, expensive electricity, and slow and lousy customer services under PECO. What is a little more sacrifice to correct the problems they left behind?

But if MORE Power fails to deliver its promises, then let’s pummel them to kingdom come.

 

COVID effect

The coronavirus pandemic is not just about numbers on cases, recoveries, and deaths. It is also a story of government inefficiency; the great divide between the affluent 1 percent and the rest of us; the travails of the marginalized people such as persons with disabilities, the poorest of the poor, and even our friends in the LGBTQ++ community.

The pandemic is more than just a virus that is threatening our existence. It also exposes the painful truths about humanity.

 

Thank you

We would like to thank our frontliners in the war on COVID-19, especially our medical professionals, the police, the city’s regular, casual, and contractual workers (traffic enforcers, market workers, etc) for sacrificing their own safety and health to protect us.

You deserve our gratitude.
