Bakit Napakaraming Bakanteng Condominium Units sa Bansa?

 

Sobrang natuwa ang mga developers noong kasagsagsagan ng Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO), kung kailan nagdagsaan ang mga online na pasugalan at online sex rings sa bansa mula China. Nangunguna ang mga Chinese sa pagbili at pagrenta ng mga condominium units. Kabilaan ang nagsitayuang mga condominium buildings hindi lamang sa Metro Manila kundi na rin sa iba't ibang bahagi ng Pilipinas.
 
Mula sa pre-pogo period na P1.8 million ay tumaas ang mga presyo ng bawat room o unit na isang pad, isang kuwarto, o dalawang kuwarto sa average na P5 million.
 
Ngunit ipinatigil ni Pangulong Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr ang mga pogo operations sa bansa noong Hulio 2024, at sa pag-alis ng mga pogo operators at mga trabahador, biglang nabawasan ang mga bumibili ng condo units.
 
Mahigit-kumulang P300 thousand ang hinihinging down payment ng mga ahente ng real estate bukod na sa "murang" reservation fee na P25 -P50,000 at P18-P50,000 monthly rent-to-own charges bago pa makalipat sa unit ang mga Pilipinong nagnanais magkaroon ng tinawag na "shoebox" o "glorified prison cell" ng mga netizens. 
 
Ang isang regular employee tulad ng mga nasa call centers ay kumikita ng P18,000 hanggang P40,000 kada buwan, kung saan halos mapunta na lahat ang sweldo nila sa monthly payment, bukod na sa binabayaran nilang inutang para sa down payment na 5% lamang sa kabuuang bayad ng unit. May interest din ang nautang na pang-down kung kaya't halos wala nang matirang pangkain ang mga nakipagsapalarang bumili ng unit. Ang iba ay binibitawan o pinapasalo na lamang ang kanilang nasimulang bayaran kung hindi na kayang ituloy.
 
Dahil sa dami ng mga naipatayong condominium buildings sa bansa, halos  34 months daw ang sobrang supply ng condominium units o tinatayang aabutin ng 34 months ang pagbenta sa mga ito sa kasalukuyan. Pero masyado lamang positibo ang pag-iisip ng nagtantiya nito.

Nababalitang binabaan na ng mga developer ang presyo nila ngunit hindi pa rin matinag karamihan ng mga empleyadong Pinoy dahil sa tila hindi nakasayad sa lupang pagkwenta ng mga realtors sa presyuhan nila. Ang akala yata nila ay kumikita ng P200 thousand monthly average ang mga regular na empleyado na target market nila. Kung hindi nila naintindihan, P18,000 ang average monthly gross income ng mga Pinoy, at babawasan pa ng taxes, SSS, at mga sapilitang kaltas, bago mapasakamay ng Pinoy. Higit sa kalahati ay mapupunta sa pagkain at renta, at halos wala nang matirang pamasahe papasok sa araw-araw.
 
Marami ang mga nagnanais makabili ng condominium unit nila o sariling bahay at lupa ngunit masyadong mataas ang inaakala ng mga developers at kanilang marketing team sa kinikita ng bawat Filipinong empleyado. Kung paanong di maintindihan ng mga realtor at hindi nagagawan ng paraan ng mga liderato ng bansa ang sitwasyon na ito ay tunay na nakakalito at nakakalungkot para sa maraming nangungupahan o nakikitira.

Prosecutor to Farmer: Respond to Subpoena Now!

With the knowledge that farmers or the masses have no means to get good defense lawyers (except from the Public Attorney's Office or PAO whose officers hardly follow the examples of Attorney General Persida Acosta) fast, if they ever get one at all,  Deputy Provincial Prosecutor James Gerald R. Florendo issued the subpoena below requiring respondent - a farmer from the rural barangays of Santo Domingo in Ilocos Sur, to respond to the accusation of cyber libel, the same day that the farmer received the subpoena delivered by the police in Wednesday, January 7, this tear   The respondent was required to answer the allegations of the town's Municipal Agricultural Officer (MAO) Randy Jose Reburon who filed the case. Apparently, the comment in a social media post "John Park, brother... Please let us help each other... let us make a complain letter . I should be ashamed because the MAO is from our barangay. But there are a lot of complaints. He is ignoring us. he even defies the ...

The Siakol–Repakol–Noel Palomo Feud: A Deep Dive into the Battle for Songs, Rights, and Legacy

  The Filipino rock scene, particularly the '90s era of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) bands, has seen its fair share of controversies, but few have been as drawn-out and emotionally charged as the feud between Siakol, its splinter group Repakol, and former lead vocalist and chief songwriter Noel Palomo. Siakol was formed in the mid-1990s and quickly rose to prominence with their raw, relatable lyrics and catchy melodies. The band was known for its street-smart takes on everyday Filipino life, often delivered with humor and grit. Key hits like “Lakas Tama,” “Gabay,” “Tropa,” “Inuman Na,” and “Bakit Ba Ganyan” cemented their status as a staple in the OPM rock canon. The creative nucleus of Siakol revolved around Noel Palomo, the group's charismatic frontman and principal songwriter. While breakups in bands are not uncommon, what followed was a contentious fallout that continues to reverberate in the OPM community. The most significant point of contention? The continued use ...

Built a Nation, Abandoned by It: The Silent Battle of the Jeepney Pioneer

Francisco Motors Corporation  (FMC) is one of the country's pioneering jeepney builders. Over the years, FMC transitioned from refurbishing war-era jeeps to designing its iconic models, including its modern electric jeepney launched around 2018. FMC’s modern electric jeep costs around ₱985,000/unit— far cheaper than government-endorsed modern jeepneys priced between ₱1.3 and 3 million. 85% locally built (body, motor, chassis); batteries still imported, but for the first 1000 units only. These modern jeeps are designed with urban routes in mind, offering a 150 km range (approximately five trips) and utilizing 50 kWh batteries, which can be charged via the CCS2 standard. As add-on options, the package includes modern features: AC, CCTV, GPS, cashless fares, wheelchair ramps for PWDs, speed limiters, and emergency exits—while keeping the classic jeepney aesthetic. Although FMC produces affordable, culturally resonant units, several obstacles hinder its inclusion in the governmen...
