Just in case…Everyone, stay safe. Big day tomorrow. It’s official. Signed at 6:00am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow marks the start of the new Facebook rule (also known as Meta), which allows them to use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!

According to the show 60 Minutes:

Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law. NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.

I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA.

Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy. Then go to your page, create a new post, and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear, and click paste.

If you are a manager, a supervisor, or someone handling a team, please know that your staff, your crew, your agents are someone’s baby.

The same way you’d never want your own child to be humiliated, don’t do it to someone else’s. Leadership is not about power. It’s about responsibility. And if you think making someone count floor tiles is “discipline,” you’re not a leader. You’re the reason good people quit.

Respect people. Teach with dignity. Because someday, your power will fade, but how you treated people will not be forgotten.

Hindi papalagpasin ng BIR ang sinuman na tumatangkilik sa mga Ghost Receipts, ito ay malinaw na uri ng tax evasion at pandaraya kaya tiyak na mananagot ang mga gumagamit nito.

DOF’s Plan to Raise Capital Gains Tax Worries Ordinary Filipinos

The Department of Finance (DOF), led by Secretary Ralph Recto, has proposed increasing the capital gains tax (CGT) on real estate sales from 6% to 10% under the GROWTH bill. If approved, this would take effect from 2025 to 2030, then revert to 6% unless extended by Congress.

The DOF says the move targets the wealthy and aims to raise ₱300 billion in five years. But many fear the tax hike could hurt ordinary Filipinos, especially the middle class, who make up around 22% of the population, while the ultra-rich represent only a tiny fraction.

Potential Effects on the Public:

Lower net from property sales – Inherited land or modest homes could be taxed more heavily.

Less attractive for small investors – Reduced returns may discourage long-term investing.

Higher property prices – Sellers may pass the tax burden onto buyers.

Middle class hit harder – Lacking access to tax-saving tools, they may carry more of the load.

Slower real estate activity – Fewer transactions could impact jobs in the property sector.

As the proposal is being reviewed in Congress, many are calling on the government to consider its impact on the general public—not just the wealthy.
