JOHN OSMEÑA’S anti-VAT [value-added tax] political ad is totally disgusting. It has marks of a populist, anti-development rhetoric. He provides no alternatives to the VAT and gives no concrete justifications for his objection aside from the supposedly anti-poor effects of the law.
As seen in almost all countries, populist policies are actually more anti-poor because of their damaging effects on the economy and the society, as a whole.
If John Osmeña really thinks that VAT is wrong, then, what is his opinion on his partymates and other GO [Genuine Opposition] candidates who voted in favor of VAT?

John Osmena sad to say is an old bitter queen! He is soooooooo negative and very polarizing!
We need fresh blood in politics someone with WISDOM, integrity and who is God fearing. Let us be united and support the sound policies of our government. Do what you can do to our country and not what our country could do to you.

Dapat lang mag retire na si Osmeña. Nakakaawa naman maski kababayan nya sa Cebu ayaw na sa kanya. Balimbing kasi eh. Daldal nang daldal wala namang maibubuga. Old TRAPO’s must resign na lang.
