"Tangible changes", this was the promised goal of Pres. Duterte during campaign. He was certain that he could minimize, if not possibly be eliminated, criminality and drug menace in the country in 6 months. How was his words after the first 3 months of his term? 
 
Well, we all could feel it, although it was not totally gone but atleast we never felt more safer than ever. 
 
But, those are just the main thing, how about the other things that his administration had accomplished? A netizen, Josephine Quino, took into Facebook what he felt like was enough proof for people to respect Pres. Duterte. 
 
Here is the post.

"Some people are so consumed by their hatred towards Duterte that their eyes are blinded to see the PLAIN TRUTH. 
 
Anyone who cannot appreciate the following developments do not deserve to live in this country. Get out of the Philippines, you have no right to live here - you don't care a bit for this country but only for your own goddamned agendas.

Sad to say, the local media is turning a blind eye to these accomplishments and instead is focusing on unfounded EJK accusations. The foreign media on the other hand get their reports from paid and biased journalists. Worst of all, some leaders of the International Community including the President of the US, EU and UN swallow the reports hook, line and sinker, handle included. I can't believe that so called dignitaries based their judgments on garbage sources. Get it straight from the Filipino people! Logic is the ability to suspend judgment before proper evaluation, and sadly, these international leaders are grossly wanting. DUTERHEARTS, let us show the world our 16 million strong sentiments. Stop the foreign media from destroying the reputation of our President and in effect, our economy. 
 
Thanks much to those who contributed! 
 
Please comment to add if you know of more :)

This post gone viral in the social media. Well, not much of making bias statement, but people agrees to him. They also felt the same. But as the saying goes, "we cannot please everyone", thus there's still people who doubts the capability of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Lacson's reaction upon approaching the 100th day of Duterte's administration

11:20:00 AM

Since July 1, 2016, when President Rodrigo Duterte took office, it is just weeks away since its administration will reach its first 100 days in the service. Do you feel the changes or not? Let us read the statement of Sen. Lacson regarding this.

Sen. Lacson's assessment on Duterte's first 100 years of his administration showed how the Senator was amazed because the almost 100-day old Duterte administration made them feel like it has been running for years. 
 
In an interview, Lacson cited some of the achievements and developments they had withness with Duterte's admininstration given that is just about to reach its 100th day on Octorber. He narrated how he and some other Senators talk about how they feel about Duterte's administration. They said that everyone of them felt like the administration is already running for years because of the events and developments it already produced. 
 
"Kung naguusap-usap kami ng mga senador, nakakailang taon ba tayo? Parang napakahabang panahon na sa dami ng kaganapan at developments, hindi mo iisiping wala pang 100 days" says the former PNP chief. 
 
Lacson gave special emphasis on the evident progress of Duterte's war against illegal drug trade. 
 
"Siguro dala na rin sa araw-araw, napakaraming balitang nasasagap, napakaraming nangyayari, napapatay. So parang pinikit mo ang mata mo at sinara mo ang utak mo muna gaano katagal, iisipin mo talagang napakahabang panahon na siyang president", he added. 
 
It can be recalled that last June, Lacson already commended Duterte's admininstration as it made drug pushers and users to turn themselves in the authorities due to fear, weeks before Duterte formally sits as the President of the country. 
 
Even before President-elect Duterte formally assumes the presidency, we have seen how suspected drug users and pushers turned themselves in to police in past weeks out of fear. Never in history of criminality in the Philippines have seen drug users/pushers and the like surrender in this manner", Lacson sain in an article released by interaksyon.com. 
 
Even before, Lacson already expressed his hopes for the Duterte administration to greatly minimize crime if eradicating it completely might not be possible. 
 
Meanwhile, he also said that the increase in the price and decrease on the demand of illegal drugs is a proof that the war against drugs is gaining result.

Mob mentality: Avoid the negative effect of social media

12:41:00 AM

<div class="MsoNormal">
The influence of social media to us is unquestionable, we rely so much from these social sites. But one thing we are not aware of is we are believing too easily on the things from these sites.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Almost all of us is now engaged in social media. We did this
for so many reasons like socialization, communication, or even liesure. It is
safe to quote that we rely so much on social media.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Basically, social media is where people gathers, or if
social sites are a particular place, it is where people are gathered together
in a very huge number. Beyond this, there is a fact that lies where social
media is the best place to publish news, articles, videos, or to advertise
products/services. Because it holds massive numbers of people who are the
possible viewers or users of our article or endorsed product.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Along with this, there are people out there who don't care
about others and only thinks of being popular, or to earn money which they
publish or endorse false information or products. Well, sad to say, most of
these false information would always go viral thus reach so many people, and
the worst part is that most of us are blinded for the truth. We tend to believe
on false information we read and we share this making us one of the instrument
in spreading such falsity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is what we called MOB MENTALITY. In this state, we are
influenced by what we think was right and adopt to that certain thing we
believe. And this is not good for us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many people have been suffering because of this. They were
bullied, bashed and shamed through social media and even in personal
circumstances. To make an example, let us recall the roadrage incident where a
cyclist was killed by an ARMY reservist. But before everything was in place,
the video of the said roadrage escalated on social media. Many have seen the
actual video of the incident, where a particular website posted a picture and
had accused someone (not the real suspect) of being the responsible for the
death of the boy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This man appeared before the NBI to clear his name, although
he is not really the real suspect (after the investigation) he had suffered so
many criticims and bullying. He receives so many heart-breaking messages which
calls him names or giving him unpleasant words which he think as too much from
the people.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is what we're mistaken, we always jumps into
conclusions just because the information comes from the social media. Where
information from this place should not be taken easily, we the users/readers
are responsible for verifying the legitimacy of the content that we read.
Because this is the social media, the place for the freedom to speak, so there
is no strong basis that all of the posted information here are true or not. As
what was mentioned, we need to verify for ourselves.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are some tips to verify if the information we read is
true or not:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For websites, blogs and other link we see on social sites:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Make sure that the sites are reliable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many websites we encounter, some leads us to the
wrong link, others might gives us valuable to read. So, try to remember those
sites that would not lead you to the wrong content. ALWAYS refer to another
source if you have read something interesting to verify if the information is
true or not.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Make sure that the site is legitimate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are no doubts for information we read from big news
sites like CNN, BBC, or the local news site. But these site which are not much
known by many are the sites that we should not believe by an instant. Look for
their sources, and/or search on google about their headline and choose the site
that is legit and reliable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For pages/accounts/channels (public figure, bands, companies, etc):<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Look for the verified badge.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram has it's way of
separating the real page of a real person or business from those imitators by
putting them verification badge (a check mark after their names). Meaning, this
pages, channel, accounts and others which has the verification badge are
verified users therefore non-emitators. For example, if you search on YouTube
about the top 10 plays of the 2015-2016 NBA regular season find the uploader
with a check mark on their names, because these are companies and organizations
that really studies the plays thus you expect fair basis than those countdown
who were made by the fans which maybe bias on the player or team that they are
supporting.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Know the source.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tip above is one of the things to consider. But what if it
is not a page or a channel? You saw a post of something interesting from a
person, what you should do? Anyone has the freedom to check other accounts.
Look for their information, their friends, their posts and any other small
things that would satisfy your criteria in verifying the legitimacy of the
account.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
 
<div class="MsoNormal">
To summarize all of these, we should always be vigelant into
something we saw, view, watch, read and post on social sites, because sometimes
these simple posting or sharing of ours means life for others. Thus, before you
decide if it is real or not, you should first check for yourself in order to
avoid this mentality. Who knows, if all of us are aware of this, we could even
help our country mess-free from the wrath of the force from social media.<o:p></o:p></div>
