Punzi's Corner Blog: Do the math (again)...

This day in history from:

Do the math (again)...

There is a serious question that bugs my mind...

How can a President, who probably earns less than a junior executive in a bank, in an economy that is suffering last year and still continues to suffer, given also a world economy under the same hole actually EARN money during these times? She must probably be a financial genius!

I just hope our President transplants her secrets to this personal financial success into the Philippine economy. That's what we are paying her to do.

And you know what bugs me even more? The quote you see above was lifted verbatim from my previous post here more than a year ago.

It seems like in these trying times where all Filipinos are suffering from the rising prices, she's the only one actually EARNING MONEY for the second year in a row per reports (and who knows since when) while maintaining a full time job that cannot possibly fill her family's expenses.

Remember:

If in accordance with the [law], a public official has been found to have acquired during his incumbency, whether in his name or in the name of other persons, an amount of property and/or money manifestly out of proportion to his salary and to his other lawful income, that fact shall be a ground for dismissal or removal. Properties in the name of the spouse and unmarried children of such public official may be taken into consideration, when their acquisition through legitimate means cannot be satisfactorily shown. Bank deposits shall be taken into consideration in the enforcement of this section, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary. (Empasis supplied; from Section 8, Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act)

They have a lot of explaining to do... specially during this impeachment season...

Bakasyon na po kami, atty punzi, kaya tuloy ang kulitan sa blog hopping natin. Medyo nag-eenjoy pa ako ng pahinga ng konti, last day of classes kahapon.

Kamusta ang mga little angels mo? Anong grade na sila? Pasukan naman dyan, super busy na naman ang mga teachers, sama ka na dun, teacher lawyer *wink. Puro "lectures" ang mga entries mo dito sa blog, haha.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
