During the last two weeks, President Bongbong Marcos has been seen a lot during inaugurations, ribbon cuttings and project launches hosted by private business. Among the big-ticket events that PBBM went to were the project launch of San Miguel Corporation for the TPLEX extension from Rosario to San Juan, La Union.
While the TPLEX-ex project is classified as an “extension,” I would dare say that it is the major component of the TPLEX that will boost tourism and development in the province of La Union by cutting the travel time drastically. Many local tourists and developers have expressed appreciation for and interest in the area but have had second thoughts due to the time it currently takes to get there.
PBBM being at the inauguration and other such events shows that the President is pro local business and not just pro-travel for foreign investments. These businesses, investors and industries are already on the ground and actively contributing to infrastructure development and economic activity. The next time I heard from him was during his trip back to the province. It turns out that his cardiologist found two blocked arteries and when he asked for a bill of estimate, he learned that he was going to need a little over P800,000. Yes, eight hundred thousand pesos.
In the meantime, I hear from different members of media how the PhilHealth has been turning over billions of pesos in member contributions to that highly suspicious Maharlika Fund scheme of government. Why should PhilHealth funds coming from members be touched, when the money can help heal people like Levi so he can continue to live and be a productive citizen of the Philippines?
American politics has been careening towards the abyss of political violence. The attempted assassination on candidate Donald Trump underscores this. A Filipina domestic worker has a worn out purse where she keeps items that are of great value to her – a child’s photograph, some emergency cash and her laminated PhilHealth card.
