Of course, what the old-man-Quezon meant was "I prefer a country run by your truly...", which is what he got. What he implanted in the brains of Filipinos is that it is okay to have a country run like hell, as long as it is by Filipino. Which is what the country got, over and over again.<BR/><BR/>What the Filipino should say is "I want... I deserve a country run like heaven".<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, what they still teach in school is that very slick propaganda-line from the old-man-Quezon, and what the Filipino gets is a country run like hell, over and over again.engineerOFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643196802254813387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17476693.post-1154763287196694352006-08-05T15:34:00.000+08:002006-08-05T15:34:00.000+08:00Bobby Kennedy said, "Laws can embody standards; go...Bobby Kennedy said, <I>"Laws can embody standards; governments can enforce laws--but the final task is not a task for government. It is a task for each and every one of us. Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted--when we tolerate what we know to be wrong--when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy, or too frightened--when we fail to speak up and speak out--we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice."</I><BR/><BR/>Can hardly wait to mete out some justice.

But what makes them a glaring metaphor is that these guys are supposed to be moral shepherds, not apologists for someone as evil as Gloria.<BR/><BR/>The bishops you mention are the ones who allegedly admitted that she cheated, but so what? Doesn't everybody cheat? How morally decrepit can these dorks be?Leah Navarrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936079585251164701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17476693.post-1154752133202122372006-08-05T12:28:00.000+08:002006-08-05T12:28:00.000+08:00We believe that Impeachment is the only legal aven...<I>We believe that Impeachment is the only legal avenue left to allow Pres.

We've heard that new ads are coming out, this time with celebs like Pacquiao endorsing Cha Cha. Not too surprising, since he already announced this morning that he's running for Vice Mayor of Manila. Great.</I><BR/><BR/>anybody who still supports arroyo and her cha cha diversion should not be supported and not be voted into office.<BR/><BR/>well, at least he's not running for mayor or any higher position, no? sino kayang tatakbong mayor sa ticket ng adminstration? si ali atienza, yung anak ni lito? o si mark jimenez?<BR/><BR/>re the supermaids naman, <BR/><BR/>so this is where she is leading the country towards. ang hirap na kasi mag start ng business dito dahil sa taas ng buwis, kuryente at iba pang expenses. kaya maraming nale-layoff at maraming factories ang nagsaraduhan sa pinas. <BR/><BR/>ang businesses na kumimita lang ngayon sa aking palagay ay yung pagbebenta ng cell phone cards at pirated dvds, LOL.<BR/><BR/>since most filipinos couldn't find a job here, sa ibang bansa na lang sila naghanap.<BR/><BR/>(at kahit na marami raw na job opening sa call centers, many OFWs continue to leave the country in droves. why is that? because many of them are not qualified (ie not fluent in english) to hold those kinds of low level jobs. yung mga usually na natatanggap lang na applicants ay yung mga magagaling na inglisera sa mga top universities like ateneo, la salle, UP etc.)<BR/><BR/>it is one the weakness of her admin, IMO. AND it should be a major campaign issue in 2007 against her allies. <BR/><BR/>arroyo's strategy is to let filipinos find work abroad. our strategy (and the opposition's) should be to help create jobs here instead, para hindi na umalis pa ng ibang bansa ang kababayan natin para lang maghanap ng trabaho.<BR/><BR/>kasi, if the main thrust of one's "economic strategy" is to make the philippines unlivable for pinoys (because of high cost of living) and make it hard for them to find work, so that many filipinos are forced to work abroad (and then calling them "new heroes" whenever they send their remittances back home)-- you better make damn sure you got their backs covered kapag inaabuso sila o nasa panganib ang buhay nila.<BR/><BR/>unfortunately, the arroyo admin has been proven to be incompetent in looking after the welfare of the OFWs.<BR/><BR/>the arroyo admin's <A HREF="http://politicaljunkie.blogspot.com/2006/08/update-on-owwa-funds-mess.html" REL="nofollow">slow and scandalous handling</A> of our OFWs needs in lebanon and their evacuation is just the latest and most glaring example of that.<BR/><BR/>the (mis)handling of the OFWs in lebanon and the administration's inability to deliver/create jobs here should be an issue, IMO.john marzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036820667908976630noreply@blogger.com
