Great PNoy! He is the man we are waiting for so long. Now we see how he works for the Filipino people. Maybe its now time to ask ourselves "How can I be of help to my country?

I still wonder why the names of Arroyo, Corona and Sendong were lumped together with PNoy and OFWs. I just assume that the one we are looking is a person or persons or something that created much impact to the lives of the Filipinos. In such case I assume positive impact would put PNoy and the OFWs in one cluster and Sendong, Corona and GMA on another group as considered as negative impact.

Dear Manuel Diaz, I am with you, and for sure, a large segment of Philippines are also, that OFW, 11 million in Diaspora, remitting $$$$$$$$$billions, keeping Philippines economically afloat year after year, should be represented in both lower and upper house of congress. Let us keep knocking until the whole country pick up and run with it.

Pag pikon, talo: If I was to read between the lines, the suggestion that the person of the year should be one of the PNL's senior contributors, why not? Probably, voters won't even exceed 319. The silent majority would be forever be silent, or the active participants in this forum don't exceed 4 figures. adaaah? Acting childish or being naive & name-calling, etc., might be one of the reasons why the turn out of voters will be minimal. Just a thought, Granpas! Instead, give your grandchildren a treat of a lifetime: bring them to the California Academy of Sciences (300 new discovery of aquatic species fr the PHL), Yum @ Park Chow (awesome reviews) & sealions @Pier 39/Fil. food @ Concord, walang kapares.

1UP: You didn't do research on tax exemption for non-profit corporation when you castigated Tonyo. In fact, in New York (1822), there was a statute patterned after the French Code de Commerce (which authorizes the societe en comandite) on tax advantages of the limited partnerships. Paano ka nakapasa sa citizenship sa New York na hindi mo alam ang history. I do believe that they call it today as "a tax shelter." Tonyo will educate you that shares of American corporations are on the corporate books, unless your mentor, Father Bernas, will say not really.

Casus belli LINK Loopholes in US income tax law resulted to less tax payments to the IRS for tax years 2008 to 2010.. If so, the solution is to amend or repeal these laws. What happened to the IRS? It used to be very efficient in tax administration. Bakit di agad naklta ang loopholes? If no more loopholes but revenue remains very low, the casus belli is poor business condition and/or tax evasion

“Datumanong, a former justice secretary, said. Impeachment is a political process that is usually decided along partisan considerations,... “BUT IT MUST respect and follow its rules and the constitution.” LINK Datumanong is inconsistent. He contended that the impeachment of CJ Corona “must respect and follow its rules and the constitution” yet argued Impeachment is a political process that is usually decided along partisan considerations, which means without factual and legal basis. Palakihan ng butu. Partisan! Anyway, the Impeachment Rules provide that the rules of court and due process of law shall apply. Senate President Enrile also said so.

“In a radio interview Sunday, Enrile cautioned both Malacañang and the Supreme Court against meddling in the impeachment trial of the Chief Justice…He said he did not think the high court would heed a petition to issue a temporary restraining order against the Senate trial.” LINK But what if the SC issues a TRO pursuant to law, pending resolution of several petitions to invalidate the House Impeachment because null and void? It was done without hearing. Corona was not given the opportunity to explain his side. Binaraso at bigla na lang nagpirmahan ang mga Representathieves without deliberation and reading the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.

Isabelle, Patrons of religions that I'm familiar with, Catholic, Ignesia Ni Christo, Jehova Witness, El Shadai & more believe that God Loves All. At times I see sign being held by crusaders that reads Jesus Loves You. Religions defer in their interpretation of the sign but God Love All. IF you don't believe that, I pray for you & GOD may forgive you. I hope Marie the PNL poster will help explain this issue cuz her explanation should be better. The strength of wind & amount of rainfall were news on 12/16/2011 & following those reports were news that large mud & logs were found on buildings & bridges possibly caused by illegal loggers. If you can't accept that, I respect whatever understanding you may have that killed those innocent children.

To 7gtg your dismissal of the OFW's gripe with the POEA is similar to the barn yard animal story. It goes like this the rat was frantic went to the barn and talked to the chicken that the farmer put a rat trap in his house the chicken said that is not my concern, the rat went into the pig also asked for help the pig said that is not my concern, ran to the field the cow said that is not my concern. the rat went back to his hole. One night the trap sprung the farmer's wife woke went to investigate, the trap caught a venomous snake by the tail bit the wife the wife got sick. The farmer went into the barn butchered the chicken to make chicken soup the condition of the wife deteriorated the relatives came to help the farmer butchered the pig to feed the helpers.

The senate, to speed up the impeachment process, wants to hold preliminary hearing, to ascertain veracity/merit of impeachment complaint, witnesses that will be presented by both side, to ascertain each witness will not be wasting impeachment time with hearsay, and weed such witnesses out. Also, what questions will be asked by both side, to give both sides enough time to prepare their answers, and that there will be no ambush testimony and witnesses.

Latest to get on board the lynch mob box car of P'Noy et al, with its own showcase thrill version, Sandiganbayan issued a Hold Departure Order (HDO) on former president Arroyo.

TonyO: "... HE AUTHORED THIS LAW WITH HIS COMPREHENSIVE TAX REFORM PROGRAM (CTRP) UNDER R.A. NO 8424, EFFECTIVE JAN. 1, 1998.." Even before the Tax exempt, our Tax table for overseas income was already very low (tingi lang) compared to those back home. It was the gesture of the lawmakers that counted more. Suddenly OCWs felt 'especial' as compared to other nationalities in the foreign workplace. One of the good signs that ocws (ex-ocws) like me see. The whiners only see the negative. Whiners who does not want the poor to work overseas kasi baka mabawasan ang kanilang lamang.

You praise the people in Malacañang as edukadado, but to me their brain is only half full of useful info for PNoy to use.

Your word construction is good but your selection of words are very poor. I do not understand "da kind" words no need to look it up in da dictionary cuz words used were not sentence related to me, especially when you included God in your sentence. You & Kalabog are stuck with the word "WHY", why did so many innocent children died as a result of Sendong. Day in & day out, reporters kept on repeating "bad weather" & "illegal loggers" & if you pick up a newspaper at a Filipino store, the same words are printed.

I know in 1913 the federal tax code was 400 pages, 72,536 in 2011 and may go up to 74,994 in 2012 not because Obama wants it but Congress has to find a way na walang taxpayer escapes or evades taxes.

Let me tell you MCD how shallow your knowledge of the world is. I told you that there are few skilled workers in Haiti compared to PH. There are some 11 million Pinoys all over the world as against 3.5 Haitians. Of the 3 million, two thirds of them are in Dominican Republic. A Pinoy to reach Europe, US, Australia or Canada had to travel by air. Haitians only need to travel over land to cross the Dominican Republic. Haitains are so poor they can’t afford air travel. If you are unskilled migrant worker it is evident that you earn less than your skilled worker counterpart. Hence, the ability or potential to repatriate income is less. Getz mo?.

KALI: I understand the frustration discussing or debating issues with pipit. I could relate to that. He makes statements and uses high sounding phrases that are not related at all to the subject under discussion. When challenged with facts, he runs away. The arguments keep on shifting. I begin to wonder if pipit is a mad cow or a writer suffering from foot and mouth disease. One time he claimed that Thomas Jefferson died a poor man despite owning an estate called Monticello. The fact: he was heavy in debt but not poor. Some debts were acquired upon the death of his father- in- law, as a co-maker (to a loan) for a friend and his own life style.

Tony0: Just ignore the statutory construction phrase pipit is talking about. He has no clue what it is. He keeps dropping exotic phrases to impress. Here is how th phrase is to be understood: The court must try to determine how a statute should be enforced. This often happens when the existing law is ambiguous or vague and by virtue of its language places the court in quandary on how the law is to be enforced or applied in court cases. When the court makes those sweeping changes in the operation of the law, that is STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION. I am no lawyer but I understand common sense than nonsense.

I agree with the earlier impression that OFW are being fleeced from the time they leave, come back to their homeland for a vacation on Christmas, return to their workplace and repatriate their earnings. Now OFWs are exempted from paying documentary stamp tax (DST) every time they remit money (0.30 for every P200), travel tax and airport fee. It is estimated that the scrapping of DST will result in P 1.3 billion savings to the families receiving those repatriated monies. If 7gtg and the knowledgeable MCD disagree, you have every reason to challenge me. THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY.

We don't need any representation at the Senate or at the House for OFWs, otherwise the Senate has to abolish the 2 committees: committee on labor employment and human resources development, and the other is on foreign relations. If only these senators and congressmen are really serious in taking on the cudgel for labor in general and OFWs in particular then OFW is aptly represented. The legislative branch has sufficient committees that tackles issues and problems of OFW. These legislators have only to do their jobs!

The problem besetting the Supreme Court now of islas de Ladrones is that the framer of the Cory Constitution never anticipated that a retired president and an incumbent president will slug it out in the Supreme Court. GMA packed the Islas de ladrones Supreme Court with sycophants majority of which has terms beyond the term of President BS Aquino. President BS Aquino can at most appoint another Justice before his term ends. the Chief Justice should have recused himself from cases involving GMA so are the other Justices appointed by GMA likewise the Justices appointed by President BS Aquino should also recues themselves when cases involving President Aquino is elevated to the Supreme Court. That will really paralyze the Supreme Court .

Gubot pa sa lukot if we subscribe to the notion that every sector should have representation in the Senate and in the House when there are committees that supposed to tackle an issue that concerns a particular sector. If OFW is okayed as far as representation then other sectors will follow suit. The domestic local maids (katulong) will later ask for representation, the youth group, & the senior citizens. The public school teachers as well as the lowly paid non-management gov't employees such clerks and drivers will follow suit. The bureaucracy will be getting crazy as it becomes highly politicized!

Tonyo/Kali: Justice Holmes was not talking about your stupid income taxes. Itigil mo na ang kabaliwan mo. Kung ang isang word na "interpretivism" hindi mo maipaliwanag sa isang word din scholarly written books pa kaya. Magsama kayo ni Kali na tagapunas lang ng langis sa barko ang naabot sa US. Kahit credential ni ninyo sa Philippines ay hindi papasa sa University of Hawaii. Bakit? Binili lang ninyo sa Recto. Basahin na lang ninyo ang paliwanag ni Katrina legarda: Back to Corona's impeachment. She invoked Section 1, Article VIII to justify her argument. Sa palagay ninyo tama?

Tonyo/Kali/1UP: You always invoke article dire, article karon, provision ugma & provision ambot sa imo. It doesn't make sense to memorize imbecile articles & provisions devoid of "binding & persuasive" authority. You may be experts of tax codes but you can't reduce the essence of corporation into 1 sentence. Even the persuasiveness of the decision of the court will depend largely on the "force of reasoning in the opinion & the apparent soundness of the result." I do admire Judge Holmes, Judge Cardozo and other American Jurists because "their opinions carry more weigh than those of lesser minds."

Tonyo: Super-tangengot na tax filing clerk definition of "interpretivism" is statutory construction. Masisipa ka ng kalabaw ni Kali sa Ilongo sa sagot mo dahil 2 words ang "statutory construction" hindi isa. Kaya pala humanga din si Kali kay 1UP sa sinabi niya na ang Founders ng US Constitution wala daw idea sa corporation. Kahit mga kamag-aral ko sa Valenzuela Municipal High School ay alam ang kahulugan "commerce clause" sa US Constitution kahit walang nakasulat na salitang "corporation."

The Filipino people must learn from vicious corrupt practices of some politicians, judges, generals, policemen & so forth. Imbecile & corrupt politicians should not be re-elected. Remember that "human folly comes in all shapes & sizes." Those who imagine they are wiser (graduates of elitist schools: Ateneo, UST, La Salle, etc.) than others may well be the most dangerous." Of course, there're some intellectual theorists who argued that elitism is inescapable element in democracy, or any activity. It may true that all democracies are concealed oligarchy, but their power is just a paper tiger without the power of your votes: "We The Filipino People". Please support President Aquino's sincere effort to establish a genuine, transparent & strong Philippine democracy.

In the news! Niel Tupas Jr., of the bootlickers of KUMANDER WANGWANG is fishing for evidences against CJ Corona. Because Wangwang's allegations that Corona has been protecting GMA as far as decisions of SC are concerned don't hold water, now the Wangwang's sycophants is targeting Corona's SALN (statement of assets & liabilities) which they claimed the latter have not submitted in clear violation of the law and according to these bootlickers constitute an impeachable offense! These sipsips are so desperate that probably they would bark that Macoy's ghost did bribe Corona into making beneficiary-farmers as the real lot owners of Hacienda Luisita. And to think that was a collective decision of SC justices with the CJ's vote does not exceed 1.

tonyO: HopeThisWillEnlightenYou; If a corporation distributes dividends to the owners, they must report and pay personal income tax on these amounts. And because dividends, unlike salaries and bonuses, are NOT tax-deductible, the corporation must also pay taxes on them. This means that dividends are TAXED TWICED-- once to the corporation and again to the shareholders.

The 188 Philippine congressmen that signed and impeached CJ Corona on the malodorous 8 point hearsay based complain submitted to the senate, if the senate impeachment trial pushes through, as it should, should it pass the preliminary hearing stage, which I doubt, will emerge looking more moronic/goofy/stupid. They are hanging on Corona's supposedly undeclared Bellagio Condo in his 2010 SALN as the one that they are convinced will break the camel's back, & convict CJ Corona. Well, if that's all, then they will emerge the laughing stock, because JC Corona and wife don't own the Bellagio condo.

Post nang post… dividends: they come in many forms such as cash dividends, property dividends, stock dividends, and liquidating dividends.” Korekek, dre. Of all these different kinds of “dividends” STOCK DIVIDEND is not treated as income, hence, exempted from income tax, because the corporation’s accumulated profits are not yet actually distributed to and realized by the stockholders, All the other types of dividends are REALIZED INCOME, hence, subject to income tax. LIQUIDATING DIVIDEND is treated as CAPITAL GAIN. Pipit, capiz?

Sendong's aftermath & GFJBHED's comment, "How far do you think the Aquinos, Marcoses, Arroyos" etc. "to name a few, would get in US business and politics? Not near as good as staying home in the Phil. Only wage earners are OFW. Trapos will always be political crooks." Agree my view; victims of Sendong & political crooks are connected. Many yrs parents of Sendong victims living near river banks knew the area was dangerous & laws against illegal logging but parents had to 'put food on the table for their children', hence parents had to bear living 'between a rock & a hard place'. Arroyo names were elected, Ch Justice Corona's wife was rpted w/ 4 jobs in 1 company so on & on. Time not to vote anyone in any elective office if the candidate's name will continue political dynasties?

F.Y.I. : Cojuangco is the uncle of incumbent Pres. Pnoy Aquino. The SC, dominated by appointees of former Pres. Arroyo rules in favor of Danding in his controversial 20% stake. The SC ruled that businessman Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco’s 20-percent stake in San Miguel Corp. does not form part of the so-called coco levy funds and does not belong to the Philippine government. Those who concurred with the ruling were Chief Justice Renato Corona and SC Associate Justices Presbitero Velasco, Teresita Leonardo-De Castro, Mariano del Castillo, Roberto Abad, and Martin Villarama. Those who dissented were SC Associate Justices Conchita Carpio-Morales, Arturo Brion, Jose Mendoza, and Maria Lourdes Sereno.

Pipit, suppose you acquired your house and lot for US$100,000 but its market value today is US$500,000. The State of California needs your property for public improvement. It confiscated your property via its power of eminent domain but compensated you with US$500,000. You gained US$400,000. Assuming you pay 30% income tax on this gain (i.e., US$400,000 x 30% or US$12,000) magaabono ka pa ng US$12,000 to restore your house and lot valued at US$500,000. You have a problem, Did you get richer by US$400,000 to be liable to income tax for US$12,000? Did you realize income from the disposition of your property? The answer is Oliver Wendell Holmes doctrine. Kindly explain if you understood Holmes.

1 UP said LPiF: This you have to accept: Corporations get refunds, the wealthy get tax breaks, and you get nothing (zilch, nada, bokya). Moreover, some corporations get subsidies too. You don't. Dre, any taxpayer may be entitled to a tax refund if he erroneously or overpaid his tax. WHAT’S YOUR PREMISE CONTENDING THAT “CORPORATIONS GET REFUNDS, THE WEALTHY GET TAX BREAKS, AND YOU GET NOTHING (ZILCH, NADA, BOKYA).” Please kindly explain.

F.Y.I. : Cojuangco is the uncle of incumbent Pres. Pnoy Aquino. The SC, dominated by appointees of former Pres. Arroyo rules in favor of Danding in his controversial 20% stake. The SC ruled that businessman Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco’s 20-percent stake in San Miguel Corp. does not form part of the so-called coco levy funds and does not belong to the Philippine government. Those who concurred with the ruling were Chief Justice Renato Corona and SC Associate Justices Presbitero Velasco, Teresita Leonardo-De Castro, Mariano del Castillo, Roberto Abad, and Martin Villarama. Those who dissented were SC Associate Justices Conchita Carpio-Morales, Arturo Brion, Jose Mendoza, and Maria Lourdes Sereno.

“Tupas said the Corona property was acquired in 2009 but is not stated in his SALn for 2010. There was, however, an admission from the prosecution team that it has no copy of his SALN, or if it has, then it could have been obtained illegally and therefore inadmissible evidence in the Senate Trial Court.” LINK What? If the House has no copy of CJ Corona’s SALN, how in heaven did it conclude that Corona did not report this property in his SALN? If it has a copy, how in hell did it get a copy of the SALN? If it illegally obtained a copy this SALN, then it is inadmissible as illegally obtained evidence. Moreover, this is not mentioned in the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, hence, may not be raised in the trial. WATSDAMATER WITH REP. TUPAS?

“THE Senate secretariat yesterday recommended the HOLDING OF A PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE BEFORE THE ACTUAL IMPEACHMENT TRIAL of Chief Justice Renato Corona. Impeachment court spokeswoman Valentina Cruz said the pre-trial or preliminary conference, which she stressed is just a proposal, aims to hasten the "actual trial" of the impeachment case. CORONA LAST WEEK ASKED THE IMPEACHMENT COURT TO RULE FIRST ON THE SUPPOSED DEFECTS OF THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT…” LINK If the Senate resolves that the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT is null and void, e.g., coz not even read by the signatories in violation of the Rules of Impeachment, the trial is moot and academic. Otherwise, the SC may act on the petitions pending its resolution and rule that it’s null and void.

PNL you said kids don't know any better, WRONG! Filipino parents don't know any better. It's just not with being careless but they also teach them to steal and cheat. Kids learn by example, like making 15 babies in a lifetime. There are no Filipino adults just animals.
