She gives everyone the benefit of the doubt, and in doing so, conveys to them her dignity
the more symbolic is the most recent pic of bong marcos and sara carrying a bouquet of flowers, her other arm linked around bong marcos. both formally dressed, the pose a marriage made in heaven. let no person put asunder.
in corporal’s photoshopped pic, leni’s thumb has been moved father away from her ear, leni’s big smile was covered too.
the original pic showed how good a listener leni is and how friendly, and the corporal dully cropped them out to make leni appear less than stellar.
I don’t go by that photo or anything but Robredo’s character, which is pragmatic enough to put Jojo Binay on her senatorial slate. Sara is no different. She’s smart, strong, independent, and capable, at some level, at least. I’m thinking she will treat her as a respected subordinate, on the same team, and get the respect back. I don’t think Robredo will jail Papa Duterte or anyone else on assuming office, but will establish a real commission to gather real facts and build a formal case against lawbreakers. If Sara is among them, then Robredo has a problem. And they will order orange chicken for cabinet working lunches.
The land use law that Villar keeps on telling us that it is impossible to pass is the way to stop the land conversions.
The comprehensive agrarian reform law does not allow expansion. What happens when the old farmer owner dies, it will even be subdivided to heirs.
I don’t think she will be among them
We have a big urban poor problem but how can we tell them to go back to the provinces when development is a dead end without drastic changes .
in senator villar’s office, 3x land use bill and other forest measures are stuck and going nowhere. villar who is chair of committee on environment, natural resources and climate change, has not acted on those 3x mentioned. if her conflict of interest, her husband being developer, is stopping her from dispensing her job – she may have a fight coming soon.
after the election and with the change of administration, the next batch of senators may not see villar’s points of view. and it would take more than ‘diane, diane’ for villar to get through, lol!
Juan Luna thinks Robredo would treat Sara as Duterte treated the VP, as an adversary
By the time we have a land use law there would be no more room for agriculture, parks, bike lanes,etc
What we have are mixed use complexes, roads for cars, gated subdivisions and evrn with e commerce we insist on malls.
those 3x bills that senator villar has not acted upon will expire soon, land use bills gone to waste. all the more reason to deny senator villar’s son, senate seat.
This is a non-sequitur but I wish your font was blacker and you’d have bigger fallback fonts instead of Georgia (like Geneva, Verdana) which is too small compared to Montserrat. Your current font is Montserrat, Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif which you can replace with Montserrat, Geneva, Verdana or alternatively make the font size larger and change it to another serif font like Source Serif Pro, Charter or IBM Plex Serif or something.
Joe, for my 83-year-old eyes (my original eyes, non-medically enhanced, using glasses though), I wish you will consider Aguray suggestion if it is not much of a hassle. Of course, many of your readers including yourself – and of course, you have the final say – may prefer the font as is. In my case, I can live with the font style, if only it is blacker.
