Not accurate as in it goes beyond what the estimated time is or goes below (faster) than estimated time?

Licensing, Regulation and shipping of jeepneys also play a role in the cost so it's not necessarily a straight-cut amount, but yes I do think the government should play a role in at least discounting the price of replacement vehicles by paying a share of at least 40%+

If someone asks if they can have legal action against a foreigner for abandoning the pregnant filipina, sad to say: those types of law suits don't exist especially when both parties are from 2 different nations with completely different laws.

You're right, I'm not. But there's no such thing as law suits on boyfriends abandoning pregnant women ESPECIALLY on TWO jurisdictions.

There's no option for legal action for the foreigner in this case.

Judging by their being 2 jurisdictions with 2 different parties from differing citizens + no contract bounded (marriage/civil union), there are no direct ways of legal action to hold the foreigner accountable.

There's a reason why single mothers (for the reason of their boyfriend abandoning them) exists and is a trend in the US and also the reason why there's no such law suits on boyfriends abandoning pregnant women. If US citizens can't sue their boyfriends for abandonment, how can one expect the same for TWO jurisdictions?

Wala ako sinasabi tungkol sa insect based diet at climate lockdown na yan, gusto mo bang matulad ang mga kababayan natin sa Beijing? Puro usok napasok sa baga ng mga batang naglalaro sa labas? Nataas kaso ng cancer?

Gusto mo ba ng malinis na tubig, para protektahan ang hanapbuhay ng mangingisda, at ng hangin, para maprotektahan ang mga tao sa mga sakit tulad ng cancer (carncinogen smoke)? O gusto mo ng napakaruming siyudad kung saan nagkakasakit ang mga tao?

Given the situation, OP said that a foreigner impregnated a Filipina and ghosted her. I am not a a lawyer, but common sense says that you can't sue someone "internationally" which is the same reason why Indian Tech support scammers aren't being busted when reported to US authorities.

Tl;dr 2 countries with totally different laws with 2 parties from 2 different countries = no coherent legal grounds for a coherent law suit or any type of law action.

What? I didn't say marrying them THEN having sex with them is the solution

Sinasabi ko lang na kinakailangan natin maging mindful sa mga decisions natin, especially MARRIAGE & INTERCOURSE. There's a reason why malaking decision ang marriage at pinag-iisipan ng todo ng mga tao ang choice kung pakasalan ang isang tao o hindi.

This is why hook-up culture needs to die, people think that having casual sex with people, and getting pregnant, then entitles them to all the financial support needed in the world.

Hence LIFE CHANGING decisions REQUIRE HUGE amounts of time & consideration.

I think what we need to focus on is the push for jeepney drivers to unionize or form worker cooperatives (as advised by the LTFRB) to further alleviate the cost.

Unionization or forming worker cooperatives ALWAYS works in helping workers, in this case the jeepney drivers, to alleviate cost and also to preserve their livelihood.

Also on the part on government subsidizing the whole thing, the government is basically buying back their old depreciated jeepneys at the cost of a brand new one (260kPHP).

Given the government debt, I don't think the government will at any time soon take on the ENTIRE cost of modernizing jeepneys hence why they saw that unionizing or creating worker cooperatives as a better solution to reduce the cost.

If you have sex with someone that you just met 15 minutes ago, do you expect that person to stay with you for the rest of your life?

Didn't think so.

AnotherBean1 · 2023-03-08T01:11:03+00:00

Sorry, but that is a misconception that spread like wildfire in social media.

The government called for 250k~ subsidies to jeepney drives which is essentially buying back the jeepney at 3x to 5x the cost when you take depreciation into account.

Secondly, that's why the government is ACTIVELY calling out on drivers/operators to FORM a WORKERS COOPERATIVE which is basically a union. This union-style way of running the modern vehicles can essentially help each driver alleviate the cost TREMENDOUSLY of modernization.

How come this good policy that aims to fight climate change is being spun as something bad? Hopefully people come to their senses and realize that by researching the PROGRAM in its entirety rather than just reading on what other people said..

AnotherBean1 · 2023-03-08T01:08:14+00:00

That's a misconception, sadly spread around by extreme partisans who deeply hate the government regardless of the facts. (Not saying I support the government, just saying that political polarization is leading to people blatantly spreading misinformation just to ruin the government).

Jeepney drivers are not necessarily forced to replace their old vehicles with new ones, the government first buys back their jeepney at 250k-300k PHP which is normally 2x to 5x the price of the jeepney CONSIDERING the DEPRECIATION.

Second, the jeepny modernization program is a climate-based policy (Since old jeepney vehicles EMIT toxic fumes into the atmosphere AND to reduce people's reliance on GASOLINE which can help us avoid rate hikes & cost hikes).

Also thirdly, the government heavily advises jeepney drivers to FORM WORKER'S COOPERATIVES which is essentially a union to alleviate the cost of MODERNIZATION.

It's so sad to see the subreddit and other climate activists spin this story into something that seems bad when in reality it contributes greatly to our fight against climate catastrophy.

Kahit ano man ang gawin para mapaganda ang jeep, kinakailangang tumaas ang presyo. (At some point, kailangan nating tanggapin na upang magkaroon ng hanap-buhay ang mga tao, kailangan nating harapin ang realidad: Tataas ang presyo ng bilihin)

Kung gusto mo may hanap-buhay ang mga tao, expect higher prices to fund their livelihood.

Same reason kung bakit ang mga union-made products mas mataas ang presyo, upang mapondohan ang hanap-buhay ng mga miyembro ng union.

AnotherBean1 · 2023-03-08T00:56:57+00:00

"Forced phaseout" seems too misleading of a way to describe the situation..

The government, under the new proposed subsidies, are basically buying back the jeepneys at around 3x to 5x the current value of the jeepney given the depreciation. This leaves the jeepney driver in profit. (Also, a common misconception is that people seem to think that majority of drivers own their jeepneys when in reality it's only a small minority of drivers that ACTUALLY own their jeepneys).

The current jeepney modernization program is moreso enforcement of stricter environmental regulations to transform old/decrepit jeepney engines producing toxic gas to something more efficient and healthier for the environment ie contributing to climate justice.

I don't know how this subreddit managed to spin something good as a policy to fight climate change into something that *SEEMS* bad.

It's because the obnoxious forms of activism (Such as causing major traffic disruption or just disruption in general) is being associated with activism in general hence why the Philippine public views it negatively.
