Ay kung ganun po, mukhang mahihirapan sila. Siguro pede pong gumawa ng
changes sa bill, pero hindi tutulan ito as a whole. Sabi sa akin ng
work-mate ko dito, kaya ino-oppose ng PSIA ang bill kasi, isang bulk ng mga
projects ng mga MS-software-based na companiesay ang government. Mawawalan
sila ng business. Unfair nga siguro sa side nila, pero paano naman ang
savings ng government para mapunta sa mas mahahalagang projects ang pondo?

Yung tanong ko po kanina, hindi flame po. Gusto ko po sanang makarinig ng
mga tao na may alam sa bill na ito. Narinig ko lamang po ito kaya nais ko
pong mapakinggan yung nilalaman nito, implications, at disadvantages.

"How do you pick up the threads of an old life?
How do you go on... when in your heart...
you begin to understand... there is no going back?
There are some things that time cannot mend.
Some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold."

- Frodo Baggins (LOTR Return of the King)

Belated Labor Day (ano daw?)!
