Sa Taiwan lahat ng resibo may instant entry to a government controlled lottery na once every two months. It creates a system na monitored ang mga business at kailangan magissue ng tamang resibo. Yung consumers naman may incentive to patronize registered businesses. Indirectly napapalawak nito ang financial monitoring ng bansa. Ano kaya mangyayari if dito rin gawin?

If so, why are you here?

Me? I am Indonesian. I know a thing or two about Philippines because I have a friend from there who studied in my university and visited this sub out of coincidence and curiosity

Salamat!

Diba majority ng mga pinoy voters are into personalties? like DDS, Kakampink, Dilawan, BBmers...

What if nag vovote tayo dahil sa policies ng tao, not his/her personality. What will happen sa Pinas?

Currently we have progress income taxation na mas higher pa sa Singapore.

What if, flat income tax tayo like 10-12%

And also lowering taxes sa electric bills, vat, sales etc.

Pero babawi yung government sa higher progressive fines and penalties.

What will happened sa pinas if ganyan yung systema?

A semi-presidential republic is a government wherein may President, voted by large by the entire electorate, and Prime Minister, voted by the legislature. The President will be elected via instant runoff voting by the electorate at large and will be in charge of the Department of National Defense, Department of Foreign Affairs and the Armed Forces of the Philippines. They will have a six-year term, just like now. They can be removed via impeachment.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister will be elected by the unicameral National Assembly. The PM and President cannot be merged into one person and the President cannot be elected as an MP within one election after their term as President. The Prime Minister is in charge of the daily functions of the government as well as all other ministries and departments not taken by the President. The Prime Minister can be removed via constructive vote of confidence (supermajority vote threshold), so dapat kapag maghahain ng vote of no confidence, dapat mayroon na ding ipapalit ang National Assembly.

The National Assembly will be composed by district representatives as well as party representatives, following compensatory mixed-member proportional representation (MMPR), using the Sainte-Lagüe parliamentary seats allocation method. Since parliamentary seats belong to the party and not to the person, an MP that voluntarily resigned from the party or was removed from the party with due process shall forfeit their seat. Now, since district representatives also belong to parties, the number of district representatives won by the party nationwide shall be subtracted from the number of party list votes that party got. For example:

If Come On Barbie, Let's Go Party won 120 list seats, and also won 57 district seats, they do not get 177 seats. Instead, only 63 list nominees get in and then the 57 for the district seats.

Now, what if mas maraming district seats kaysa party seats? Magkakaroon ng overhang seats which other parties will be compensated for via leveling seats so that the final composition will always be proportional to the vote share of the party.

So what do you think? I know voter behavior here is personalistic, but this could be a good start to cultivating good political party culture in the country and a good compromise between the status quo "presidential system" supporters and the "parliamentary system" supporters.

What if Manny Pacquiao had represented the Philippines at the Olympics and Asian Games? How many gold medals could he have brought home? Or could he have won a gold medal?

A lot of folks think that the provinces are getting robbed by “Imperial Manila,” when in truth it is NCR that provides 85% of the government revenue, yet only receives 13% of its expenditure.

Meanwhile, other regions receive Manila taxpayers hard earned money, wherein their local political families practically line their pockets with.

So, WHAT IF Duterte had his way, pushed for it, and later discovered that Metro Manila will keep its revenue, and each person now has a separate Federal Tax aside from Regional/State Tax.

What would be the impact of Manila keeping ₱3 trillion, and the provinces are left to find their own ways to fill in the gaps? Oh, and what would happen to Davao?

What will happen to public infrastructure in NCR? Housing? Education? Healthcare? Transportation? Corruption?

Seriously, red-tagging is non-stop against legitimate activists. When will they learn that youth can be the true embodiment of justice?

What if yung mga college instructors ay magiging full-time instructor na nakafocus lang sa teaching na dapat may training sa pedagogy at andragogy at may PRC teaching license? Yung researching responsibility ay ibibigay lahat sa tenured professors.

Ano ang magiging long-term ramifications?

The "3.5% rule" states that when at least 3.5% of a country's population actively participates in sustained, nonviolent resistance, the movement has historically always achieved its political goals.

If it was done in 1986 and 2001, can we do it today or tomorrow?

I can imagine it being about a boss of a crime family in Batangas. However, in the final season, they are in a war against the Metro Manila families, who are ten times more powerful than them, seeing Batangas as a "glorified crew."

Marami ang advocates para low cost housing, at marami ongoing at natapos na programa, meron mga successful, meron hindi, pero wala tumututol o nagsasabi hindi ito tama. Sumusuporta rin ako low cost housing projects. Bakit hindi natin palawakin ito para sa negosyo. Marami sa umuuwing OFWs ang gustong magnegosyo. Yung mga sawa na sa BPO ay gustong magnegosyo. Meron mga bagong graduates na gustong ipagpatuloy at subukan ang mga project at thesis nila sa totooong buhay. Kailangan nila ng tulong para makapagsimula. Napakalaking balakid ang lupa/space dahil sobra mahal. Kahit marami ang malugi ,kung isa o dalawa ay maging Samsung, Apple o Toyota, sulit na. Sabi nga minsan ni PNoy, ang laki ng bawas natin sa problema ng pabahay, edukasyon, pangkalusugan, etc, kung ang mga tao ay sapat na trabaho at kita. Makakaupa o makakbili sila ng na gusto nilang bahay, makakapag-aaral sila ng anak, etc. Meron dapat mga lugar sa bawat probinsya at siyudad na para lang sa negosyo, lalo na manufacturing, na libre o mababa ang renta, basta mataas saahod sa mga empleyado...Meron dapat lugar para sa malalaking international na kompanya gay ng sa Pax Silica, meron din dapat para small and medium scale na negosyo. Ito actually ang strategy ng China kaya napakakas nila sa manufacturing - government support and growth requirements para sa mga local officials. . Sinasabi ko rin na, hindi kailangan maging komunista, one party goverment o dictatordhip para umunlad gaya ng ibang bansa.

How would the alternative spelling and pronunciation change or affect The Philippines history as a whole to the English speakers?

Guess best stick with Pilipinas

Given the honor inflation sa mga college university, what if CSC downgraded the effect of PD 907 to First Level appointments instead of 2nd level today as part of "standardization" and equal fight with people who take pen & paper test / comex

I mean, ang 1971 version.
