Don't do business in Taguig & Makati

I heard from the grapevine that Taguig is becoming notorious in their apparent "legal extortion" via city ordinance. Here are the seemingly abuses committed by Taguig Local Government:

1) The hiring of Taguig residents is must and if the establishments hired non-residents of Taguig, they have to pay the local government 700 per person. This is bullshit! What do you think of Taguig, a federal government? Even federal government would not poach on the prerogative of the investors. I have never seen such arrogance from the Tingas. Well, what do you expect from the "Tingas" in vernacular, dumi sila ng mga ngipin. They cause cavities. Maybe so, in their very own kingdom in Taguig.

Hoy, mga Ting na nyo. Hindi kayo forever dyan. Dati-rati nagmamakaawa kayong may mag invest dyan ngayon meron na binababoy nyo mga TINGA NYO!!! WALANG MGA UTANG NA LOOB. DAPAT SA INYO HINDI NA MANALO SA SUSUNOD NA ELEKSYON. MAS MASAHOL PA KAYO SA MAKATI.

2) I was also informed that another ordinance that mangles money from establishments is the checking of water in all the faucets. Mura lang naman, 300 pesos per faucet. Ting na nyo, ang kakapal nyo. If you would like to check the safety of the water flowing out from the faucet, please check the main source --- the Bonifacio Waters System. Nakakapikon kayo. Dalawa lang ang dahilan kung bakit nyo ginagawa ito. Kundi kayo bobo (not checking the main source of the water), malamang mukhang mangingikil kayo. Pakisagot nga Ting na mong Mayor ka? Ang gaganda pa ng mga bag daw ni Mrs. Tinga? Sa kabila ng maraming naghihirap ganun pang umasta?

I hope Senators Pia and Allan Cayetano would step into these abuses. My question as business consultant is this, is city ordinance absolute? Can one city or municipality come up with as many ordinaces as they want just to feed their fucking caprices and whims so that they can say na may nagawa sila? What about if the ordinances are oppressive such as the ones now being implemented in Taguig? What are the scope and limitations of these ordinances? Can DILG step on this? How about my dear colleagues in the media industry? Balasubasan na ito at nakakadiscourage sa mga negosyante.

To be honest, few days ago one of my clients asked my help to look for a location in Taguig, The Fort area. sabi ko wag dun at duduguin sya. Gusto din daw nya sa Makati, sabi ko, wag din dun. Mas okay pa sa Quezon City, Paranaque, Las Pinas, Pasig and Mandaluyong. Buti nga nawala na sa Mandaluyong yung anti-vice na si Lim tangna garapal din yang mangurakot!

If this continues, I will tell to my clients and prospective clients not to put their business in Taguig. This thought is counter to the direction of the government to entice investors. I can say the same thing in the Republic of Makati, marami din daw raket dyan. Iba daw kay Mayor, iba pa sa city engineers office. Isa lang ang mga wish ko sa mga kurakot, sana pag binangongot kayo lahat ay madala nyo ang mga kayamanan at kinurakot nyo sa impyerno. Hahahaha!
