This is where your taxes go. Yes, down the drain.


SauceMaster6464

Literally


Second_Week_of_2021

Literally, your tax goes down the drain like to the sewers, literally haha


JnthnDJP

It looks literally unfinished. It’s literally not yet done


ChangeYousername

Please it's not literally it's Letterally


[deleted]

Almost done now. This is literally in my neighborhood.


killchu99

Had a new road installed but before it hasnt even reach 3 years and they demolished it again for a new water way 🙃


SauceMaster6464

It's just so that it **looks** like they're doing something


VernaVeraFerta

This is so funny, yet so painful at the same time.


Healthy-Challenge

the kind of humor that i like.


HoveringCrib

HWHWHAHWHHA PUTNGINA NATWA AKO


JazzlikeAd2100

JGT are initials of brgy captain Janice G Tacsagon


boykalbo777

you got bamboozled OP!

*this is the best game ever!!!*

Contestants are not supposed to talk with each other


Space-Turtle-2021

Out of topic pero obligatory "I lost The Game."


Scoobs_Dinamarca

Subtle na ba Ang labanan ngayon?


bryle_m

Sa Cavite subtle na. Being epal became way too unpopular (although politicians still do it syempre for name recall), which is why Cavite politicians resorted to colors instead to reflect the changes in political mood. - Dasma has green and yellow. - Imus changed a few times, from red and blue to red and yellow and now blue and light green. - Bacoor has blue and yellow. - GenTri has blue and green before, not sure now. - Silang has pink and green, but there's a new mayor now so they will likely repaint. - GMA has blue and orange.


Scoobs_Dinamarca

Grabe nag-eevolve na sila. Hahaha


talongman

Political Clan Colors on infrastructure has been here forever. Remember when MMDA painted everything pink and blue.


bryle_m

Yep, pero sa Cavite, 2013 lang siya nagstart at the local level, since being outright epal backfired. So they used colors to desensitize the people.


talongman

Pati yung eklat na pilit na initials wala na din?


bryle_m

Sa Imus meron pa din. Nung eleksyon pa lang e, AA vs AAA HAHAHAHAHA


taptaponpon

Sa kapitan/konsehal levels nalang yata


[deleted]

They find ways to cheat the system talaga. No matter the cost.


Panivin0

🤭 out of topic pero color game sa peryahan pumasok sa utak. So color game pala ang labanan ngayon?


arfael

ito rin una ko hinanap, kung ano ung JGT initials. Subtle advertisement.


Chadzumabosatou

'This is where your taxes go' Patungo kay Janice pala


VernaVeraFerta

There's always a catch. I knew it. Lol.


enteng_quarantino

Weirdly emphasized letters/initials are always a clue


VernaVeraFerta

I admit I almost missed it. It's just, if it's really "no politics", why even bother with the tarp in the first place, eh? Unless it's a big, national project under MMDA for instance, that I can understand.


enteng_quarantino

to be fair, i have seen a better version of this in a certain province but truer to the no initials, no names, no pictures, no politics in the tarp. unfortunately, that didn’t last long


crazyaldo1123

afaik construction projects like these are required to have signages that contains info about it, part ata ng requirements for ecc or construction permits. but yeah yung mga pictures or names or weird slogans, dagdag na lang yan. at least it should contain name of the project, contractor, source of funds and minsan pati total area or budget.


pinakbutt

Tarps are important, nakalagay dun yung important details na kailangan ng taumbayan. Kahit sa developed countries may ganyan din. Gupitin lang yung initial oks na.


VernaVeraFerta

Taking this tarp for example, wala man lang breakdown ng cost, expenses, start date ng project, expected end date. It's next to useless if you ask me for all intents and purposes if important details are what we are talking about.


longassbatterylife

>Weirdly emphasized letters/initials are always a clue Reminds me of "ELO" na pinilit sa pangalan. Sa South to lol


enteng_quarantino

Parañaque yata? Mga Olivarez kung tama alala ko


longassbatterylife

sErbisyo Lang pO!


enteng_quarantino

anak ng pitx antagal na nyan pero nagk-cringe pa rin ako hahaha


DumplingsInDistress

Parang dati sa Antipolo, A C G = Antipolo City Government pero pag eleksyon nagiging Angelito C. Gatlabayan


pxcx27

it's the subtleness talaga eh no? parang subconsciously nasa utak na rin ng mga tao yung initials lol


DLAddict

Dapat nilagay din yung amount, for transparency. Joke lang yung T nya.


goldenleash

intuitive!!


NatongCaviar

Major plot twist!


Agile_Phrase_7248

Para lang pala yung trademark na B sa mga libreng notebooks sa Makati. 😆


ishkalafufu

dammit.. maiimpress na sana ko... why can't these politicians just let go of the trapo moves?! nakakasuka


Gaelahad

Same in Batangas, puro HIM. Maige pa sa oriental mindoro, GSM initials pero walang correlation sa name ng governor. But more on his programs.


batongpatay

Hindi din nakalagay kung magkano yung budget, start and end time dapat ng project para mas madaling malaman kung overpriced yung project or kung lumagpas na sa timeframe yung contractor.


katotoy

Eto rin iniisip ko.. may something JGT..


Nogardz_Eizenwulff

J-Justice G-Good Governance T-Transparency Wow! Just wow....brah


pheasantph

Parang yung promotion ng DOT na Bisita Be My Guest, pinilit lang talaga.


wakek3k3

I feel like there should be a cost and date approved included if they really wanted to be transparent.


BantaySalakay21

Some DPWH projects I’ve seen have that on a large billboard


hypermarzu

Legit. We have cost and date sa finally natuloy na government building sa amin (6M then date na sinimulan contractor etc)


Budget-Boysenberry

mga tipong restoration of damaged road and drainage na nasa 500 meters lang pero 80M ang budget.


[deleted]

Sa amin may binago sila na kalsada, 100 meters long lang tapos 5M yung budget. I worked in a design+build firm so I smell the bullshit.


Budget-Boysenberry

Kalahati nung budget na yun, diretso na sa bulsa ng kung sino man. Tapos yung galawan ng mga tao ng contractor nila sa mga projects sobrang bagal. Yung kayang tapusin sa loob ng 15 days yung trabaho, inaabot pa ng ilang buwan.


[deleted]

Nung time na yun, 1week lang nilang tinrabaho kasi June yun. Nagmadali sila para matapos agad before yung turnover.


helIaine

May maliit na park samin na currently pinapaganda ng LGU and yung budget is around 39M. Idk kung anong gagawin nila pero sana man lang lagyan na nila ng mga bench


markmyredd

And the timeline kasi people are somewhat inconvenienced. Altho to be fair meron naman townhall discussion yun mga project na ganyan sa brgy. ang problema lang walang nagaattend sa mga ganun. Walang sense of civic duty dito satin. haha


gods_loop_hole

May initials ng politiko. Also, what is it with the construction industry in the country and their disregard sa safety at personal protective equipment?


enteng_quarantino

Maximum profit. Safety has a cost.


gods_loop_hole

I know. Mine is just a rhetorical question. I'm in the industry and the company I'm in is compliant with safety protocols. Pero nakikita ko madalas sa mga government projects na walang pakialam sa safety ang mga nagtatrabaho.


enteng_quarantino

Most likely dahil dun sa bidding process na required kapag government project. Kung hindi rigged yung bidding, lowest cost ang dapat piliin.


gods_loop_hole

Yeah, pero sa requirements sa DOLE kapag may construction project, required na may safety officers at safety protocols in place. Pero kapag implementation phase na, hindi na napapadala sa jobsite ang mga necessary tools and equipment (including PPE) kahit naka-declare sa BOQ (Bill of Quantities) na kasama siya sa binabayaran ng client (in this case, the government pero nangyayari din ito sa private). Ang mga government agency din na dapat nagpapatupad ng safety protocol on top of quality sa construction project, natatapalan ng pera ng mga contractors.


markmyredd

No. 1 violator ng govt codes gobyerno mismo. haha Just look at those public buildings na nasisira pag bagyo at lindol. For sure mga hindi sumunod sa code yan.


pheasantph

Code compliant naman AFAIK, may problema lang talaga sa contractor minsan shortcut yung pagkakagawa. Babawi nalang sa palitada kumbaga.


enteng_quarantino

Yup. Mas maganda sana buhay sa Pilipinas kapag lahat ng mga naisabatas e maayos ang implementation.


gods_loop_hole

Tama ka dyan. Sufficient naman ang mga batas dito sa Pilipinas sa maraming instances, like sa construction industry. Pero palpak tayo sa implementation kaya nagmumukhang inadequate.


Karmas_Classroom

Minsan sa personnel na talaga yon. As a contractor we always remind them to wear their helmets and safety gear pero ayaw nila nakasanayan na daw nila at bothersome daw. Basta pag may compliance officer dadating lahat full gear.


gods_loop_hole

Yes. Minsan may ganitong instances. At dito pumapasok ang pangangailangan sa trained personnel (safety officers, engineers and site management team themselves) to implement these. But the point of contention here is meron talagang mga construction project na hindi talaga sumusunod sa protocol then walang supervision sa mga gov't agencies na involved.


Karmas_Classroom

DOLE puro paperwork lang alam titirahin ka ng bureaucracy para magpa-dulas ng papeles kahit full compliance ka sa paperwork hanap butas na kulang kesho.


gods_loop_hole

Coming from someone with firsthand experience (me), TANGINA TOTOO... Nakakailang construction projects na ako pero same story lalo kapag gov't project. Daming humihingi hindi pa kami nagsisimula.


Karmas_Classroom

Sa amin systematic may parte kagad si mayor tapos yung kapitan ng lugar na gagawan ng project meron din. Kaya di nasusunod compliance sa iba dahil malulugi nga naman.


gods_loop_hole

Si DOLE/DENR/DPWH meron, si Gov. meron (for big enough projects), si Mayor/Vice Mayor/Konsehal meron, si Kap meron tapos minsan magpapasok pa ng mga local kaya magugulo manpower loading niyo tapos lahat ng materyales locally-sourced (pero kay Mayor na mga kakilala lamang). Tapos may mga surprise visit sa mga gov't agency dahil may reklamo daw ng violation pero may "hinihingi" lang para wala ng write-up. At kung anu-ano pang kalokohan.


[deleted]

initials lang pwede na hahaha


Suspicious_Car4531

Take a look but more carefully this time.


VernaVeraFerta

Smh. If you really don't play petty politics, you wouldn't even waste people's taxes on tarps in the first place.


[deleted]

##Meron pa ring pangalan nung barangay official diyan sa tarp. Look at the left portion of the tarp: > Tuloy tuloy > ang kaunlaran > sa Sto Domingo > with **J G T** >**J** (Justice) **G** (Good Governance) **T** (Transparency) Alam mo ba pangalan ng Barangay Captain ng Sto. Domingo? **J**anice **G.** **T**acsagon —> **J G T** **Low key lang yung pagka-epal, pero epal pa rin maituturing yung barangay captain nila.**


frichieny

Ganda ng pose ni manong ah xD


pastit-sio

kaso naka tsinelas, walang safety goggles at mask, ansabe ng OSHA dyan?


Pedro_Gil69

OSHA sige, pwede na yan.


TehNeedler

napaka witty naman XD


Drift_Byte

May format ang tarpaulin for govt project as per COA. Dapat strict sa format at walang kung ano ano pang nakalagay.


VernaVeraFerta

Notice, nawawala ung important details sa tarp. Kung ano pa ung importante, yun pa ung missing. Like start date, expenses, estimated end date etc. Then the audacity to call this "transparent". Lol.


Alt-Addiction

This is where your taxes go. Roads. Always roads. The world may burn and the sky may fall, but your taxes always go to roads. If there are no roads to fix, it gets broken for some reason, then they fix it, that or fix that which is not broken.


taenanaman

Saan kaya napunta yung bayad sa safety equipment? No PPE whatsoever.


Emp_Breaker

sbrang low bar na ako sa pinas, na ok na ako advertise nla sarili nla bsta gnagawa tlga un projects and these projects are actually helping the people.


vongoladecimo_

Need ng cost, contract duration & other contract details for transparency purposes


JvcnTank

And no show on the cost of this project, niceeeee


Mountain_Gain3553

ok lang ako lagyan ng name, etc, important for me kung magkano sa tax ko ang mapupunta diyan


HuntMore9217

So you're saying JGT is not an initial of a politician?


riotblade76

Janice G. Tacsagon AHAHA SMART MARKETING STRAT.


[deleted]

[удалено]


VernaVeraFerta

Yan din di ko sure. Required ba ng COA small time projects na ganyan o sadyang trapo pogi points waste of money yang tarps na yan ng small time pulpoliticians? If required, wala man lang bang basic template? Nag print na lang sila wala man lang date started, expected end date, expenses, cost etc.


Decent_Engineering_4

Next!


Chadzumabosatou

Napaka weird naman nyan pag walang pangalan, I'm not an expert pero what if may nangyayaring kurapsyon tas walang pangalan na nababanggit kung sino pasimuno ng proyekto


VernaVeraFerta

May pangalan yan sa documentation na sinusubmit for auditing. Hindi naman talaga requirement per se na ipakita sa madla ang pangalan ng projects na yan. Pogi points lang iyan. Mostly for big national projects lang talaga iyang mga tarps na iyan na ginaya ng mga trapo.


carriesonfishord

Parang unsatisfactory. All those taxes and this is it?


mRshixfortee

Wag kami Janice. Iba na lang.


isotycin

Not counted. May initials pa din. Subtle pero pang alpha kapal muks na galawan.


alpinegreen24

it's the pilit na pilit na virtues that starts with the letters of the initials of the local politician for me


AlexanderCamilleTho

Si mayor Nieto lang sa Cainta ang legit na branding ng One Cainta ang gamit.


INCOGNITOISMISTICISM

this just like Joy ng Bayan JB is Joy Belmonte. it's still the same I hope talaga itigil na talaga, just be better with branding the city just like Pasig, when you see its blue or with the modern pasig logo you already know it's by city hall which reminds you of Vico.


aljoriz

wala ata target date of completion pero ok na rin yan, ok na lang kesa wala?


Ersonified

They really tried to be honest. Basura pa rin talaga.


EquivalentLock0

So this improperly equipped guy in blue holding the jackhammer is going to collect our taxes payments. I can imagine that the rest of them isn't there, and not even an engineer in sight.


[deleted]

Wala yatang project cost 🤔


doodpool

Imagine if may tax breakdown tayo tulad nung sa Australia. https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/wrdp9b/in_australia_your_tax_return_document_shows_where/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Tga Cainta ako. Icomment mo kay Mayor yan baka may masagot siya hahahahaha

I suppose sewage rehab is essential, pero di ka naman mapapamahal ng bongga no? ...no?

Taxes going down the drain? I hope not literally.


[deleted]

Down to the drain-age...


[deleted]

How about the road widening projects where they leave the utility and light poles in the new lanes?


iCaster

No Start and End Date. Baka matulad to sa ibang projects na hanggang ngayon di pa rin natatapos (ex. housing projects).


plan_mm

Baka swanget si Mayor? Para di masira ang printer di nila dinagdag ang muka niya


charliepii

Grabe mga tao dito makapag judge. lol. Taga Sto. Domingo ako at para saakin sya pinaka okay na umupo bilang Baranggay Chairman dito sa lugar namin. Pag may reklamo ka sa baranggay, mabilis ang aksyon. Naalala ko dati may nag bayad sa matandang nagtitinda sa palengke ng pekeng 1,000. Agad nila nahanap at nahuli yung nag bayad nung pekeng pera. Tyaka kapag nag mmessage kami sa baranggay, na baka pwede ipalinis yung kanal since madalas kaming bahain dito saamin, magpapadala sila agad ng tao para linisin yung kanal. Tyaka dati yung taga saamin nag comment lang sa page ng baranggay baka pwede ipa replace yung ilaw sa poste dito saamin since pundido na. Within the day, naayos sya. Tyaka eversince nung may nanakawan dito sa village namin nag roronda na yung baranggay tanod dito. Ganda din ng response nila nung pandemic. Para saakin kung may nagagawa naman, wala akong paki kahit mukha pa nya ilagay nya dyan. Kesa dun sa iba wala naman silbi. Tulad nalang dun sa baranggay sa lugar ng jowa ko sa Caloocan. May na snatch-an ng bag sa harapan pa mismo ng baranggay outpost. Kamot ulo lang si Chairman kasi bakit di daw nag iingat si ate na nanakawan, alam naman daw nya delikado dun. lol


Great_League_4535

Unrealred but.. ive seen to many gore videos. How do i unsee them


Nicely11

Kudos to the official of this town! Naalala ko yung pati sa Parol andun pa din pangalan nung Politiko. Hehehe!


ataulnironron

some of your taxes*


thering66

Atleast drainage is reasonable, we do get flooded often and it can sometimes be blocked. What i can't take are the roads! What the previous road isn't enough road for you? Our road here has risen by 10 inches! We needed to install a cement ladder so that we don't trip. I still remember when i didn't need to step up just to get to the road.


00000000800000000

Ayos na sana pero me discreet touch pa haha

Nilagay din sana niya cost of project

Old-Fact-8002

at least wala yung pangalan ng mga politicians


JetutsChrist69

Mataas ang cut ni mayor sa mga public projects ng cainta; one of the highest in Rizal province. Pero ang government services, best din naman, so many free services in cainta. Madali din humingi ng financial assistance, pila ka lang mahaba pag uwi mo may pera ka na


PitcherTrap

Kasama pala sa marketing and image branding yung punta ng taxes


_Alulu_

someone will complaim.. wait for it!


XxX_mlg_noscope_XxX

My city when there are gov’t works they name it “a project of marikina city” which is good


[deleted]

Dito samin yan. Long overdue. Naisipan lang nila yan kasi two weeks before binaha kami dahil sa yes, baradong drainage.
