Below are some of the things achieved by the current president Duterte and one of them is by also giving the receipients of pension to have additional benefits given in three parts per year.
My parents are both senior citizens already and they are both getting the benefits. Then I am also expecting that my government health insurance will get improved once the tobacco and liquor is charged with a greater tax and the revenue created will be added to the Philhealth so that every citizen can get a much better basic health care that they need.

I am also excited about the train getting operational and it will soon go by around near us here. I remember the bellowing horn of the train when I was still young and I can hear it even though my house is a few hundred meters from the rail tracks.
Well sadly even if it comes operational near here I will not be able to ride it anymore but I am happy at least that my nieces and nephews and their future younglings can get to enjoy it.
I'm still afraid to return to the Philippines, as a westerner. It's a dangerous country for one such as me who has a different look, and I stand out too much.
Maybe I have watched too many episodes of Banged Up Abroad recently.
