MANILA - Kabataan Party List Representative Raoul Manuel dared the officials of the Department of Trade and Industry, and members of the Marcos Jr. administration to live on minimum wage for a month, after Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual issued a statement last week on the sufficiency of the existing minimum wage for a family of five.
During on Thursday’s House Committee on Appropriations hearing on DTI’s proposed 2024 budget, Manuel said that the trade chief’s statements appear to be “detached from reality”.
This observation did not sit well with Pascual. He clarified that minimum wage should be studied by experts, but the DTI is working hard to help improve industries so that more Filipinos will have the opportunity to get better paying jobs.
This reminds me of a video where a representative for a crop spray was asked on camera how safe his product is and asked if it’s safe to ingest. After saying it’s safe to ingest, they brought out a jar of his product and asked him to drink it.
Frakking council meeting yung naalala ko dyan.
Yung binabanggit mo, Monsanto representative yun na ayaw inumin yung tubig na may pesticides ng evil na kumpanya.
Panelo did the best version of the commute from a public official I’ve ever seen. Way better than Poe who went on a less busy day or Roque who had a dozen hawi boys. Granted it was only for a day, but at least he did it and it took him four hours, which confirms that there is a transport crisis regardless of what he claims.
Panelo refused to admit he was wrong though.
That’s true, but it didn’t matter because the fact it took him nearly 4 hours (and had to cheat near the end by hitching) already showed he’s in denial and contradicted his claims.
I wish they’d stop with the bullshit theatrics we already saw what happened with Panelo’s ThErE iS nO TrAnsPOrT CriSis dude just literally cheated his way by hitching free rides at the end
