Philippine Good News

  The special anti-graft Sandiganbayan court sentenced Marcos, 89, to serve 6 to 11 years in prison for each of the seven counts of violating an anti-corruption law when she illegally funneled about $200 million to Swiss foundations in the 1970s as Metropolitan Manila governor. This shows how the Philippine Justice system works for the rich and powerful. Now that Bongbong Marcos was elected president, definitely a good news to the citizens that Imelda Marcos will never be sent to prison. 

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has approved a provisional fare increase of P1 for public utility jeepneys in the National Capital Region, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon. “In sum, the fare is now provisionally adjusted to TEN Pesos (P10.00) for the first four (4) kilometers.” Covered PUJ operators are required to display a notice of provisional case increase inside their units.
