Why the Philippine's Daily Inquirer hates the DU30 government by Drei ToledosteemCreated with Sketch.

In 1982, Sunvar Realty was leased Creekside/Mile Long, a 2.39 hectares government property in Makati Business District.

The leased expired in 2002, and so President Rodrigo Duterte is demanding the return of the property. However, the owners, the Rufino and Prieto families, refuse to comply. They say the lease has 25 years more to run.

The Rufino/Prieto clan also owns the Philippine Daily Inquirer. That explains why the newspaper is mounting a demolition campaign against DU30 and the people close to him. The ultimate purpose is to bring down the  government.

Imelda Marcos leased the property to Inquirer/Sunvar Realty for P320 per sq. meter per month. Once they got hold of the land, they subleased it to business establishments for P50,000 per sq. meter per month.

The Inquirer/Sunvar Realty owners could face plunder, a case for which there is no bail.

Selling Philippine Daily Inquirer to Ramon Ang does not absolve the Prietos of their crimes against the Filipino people and the Philippine government.

Omg @immarojas, I realized just now. I lived in the same dormitory with Drei (Andrea) Toledo back in uni days! Small world! Tagging fellow dormate @thedailymom.

Sounds good!! Were you rubbing elbows by any chance?? Maybe we can ask her to help about our plans perhaps???

I did hear about Inquirer being sold off but not about their anti Duterte stance due to financial/legal argument over land entitlement. Which dorm is this @dreamiely?

My one and only dorm, Kamia ^_^

Are you two reminiscing?? 2nd childhood might set in @luvabi...watch it!

Hahahahha sa sobrang tanda ba nag second childhood na.lol. I stayed there 1 summer @dreamiely.just kept thinking of Yakal.haha.

Pabata ng pabata ang umpisa..samahan nyo ko ;)

That's of the reasons many are staying away from mainstream media news. They know most of those are owned by oligarchs who stand to lose a lot of their holdings should Duterte succeed with his plans.

But before President Duterte, we were blind. At least the majority now aren't. This we need to tell the world.

One of the upside of social media :) We can get news elsewhere and not rely on oligarchy-run news

True..but we need to tell the world as international functions are now involved. They've only heard what was fed to them by the opposition.

Will try to get myself involved little by little again :) Thanks for the inspiration!

Pres Duterte is an anti oligarch leader and he is just proving it to the people for the welfare of the masses.

yeah...still these "oligarchs" are very powerful. They still have control and the President sometimes has to give in to their requests as not to sacrifice further the poor especially those who relied heavily on employment to survive.

It will be an uphill to beat them but slowly but surely, we can hope.

He is but the world don't know that except you @floridanow :) Cheers!

Australian coverage appears more balanced - just telling us what is going on without any real agenda.

If only there's more of those internationally.

A perfect argument fr deed registers on the blockchain with appropriate smart contracts in place.

From your post ....

The leased expired in 2002, and so President Rodrigo Duterte is demanding the return of the property. However, the owners, the Rufino and Prieto families, refuse to comply. They say the lease has 25 years more to run.

If the deed was registered on the blockchain with a smart contract, the full details would be very clear and there would be no argument..... not so?

Oh that! i think that in the Philippines, there will still be paperworks from way back. Mostly the issue is, previous administrations let them get away with it. The present admin is not letting them now.

well that is good...

It's more than good ;)
