@bradmonsi@newswatchplusph@eimorpsantos O eh di congrats at nasa UK ka na. Balik ka muna dito sa Pilipinas para ma-enjoy mo naman ang pagbawas ng holidays dito
Sa mga bansang mas konti ang holidays, mas may security of tenure din sila, mas may benefits, mas makatao ang presyo ng food at healthcare, at hindi 4-6 hrs ng buhay ang nauubos sa transpo
Kaya dapat hindi tayo nage-elect ng mga trapo't laki sa yaman eh. Lutang ang mga panukala
REWATCH: Ipinag-utos ni Senate President Chiz Escudero na pag-aralan kung posibleng pagsamahin sa isang araw ang ilang public holiday – dahil masyado na raw maraming non-working day sa bansa | @eimorpsantos

Now I realize that that structure was designed to maximize control at the cost of camaraderie and teamwork. It's designed to isolate the "weak" ones, disregarding the wealth that one could gain from diversity.
It's a tool to maintain political control. But it's disempowering.

Hindi ako ang klase ng tao who can work underhandedly. I need high-trust environments
While I understand that reform requires destruction as much as creation, I don't excel in the former
Now the roles are reversed. I'm following someone who's practicing the same management structure. I can't deliver, but not by my lack of trying. I'm perpetual confused. I'm moving blindly. I have no support system. Heard about "learned helplessness?" I experience it now.
A fisherman from Batangas, a province south of the Philippine capital, flew thousands of miles away from home on his own to personally call on European banks to divest from environmentally destructive fossil fuel projects in his country.
WTF PATI AREA 2 SINIRA?
Saksak niyo sa baga niyo ang "Gyud Food" and all other expensive restos that exclude poor Iskos and Iskas. Inalis niyo na ang Beachhouse. Inalis niyo na ang CASAA. Pinapasok niyo na ang mga malalaking commercial chains sa UP. Ano pa?
