salamat. hehe

in reply to your comment: what if God sued? haha

but seriously, the statement “I would rather have a crooked President rather whom I know rather than an ‘angel’ I don’t” seems to condone said President’s crookedness, and if i recall correctly, the Christ got irate over crooked people in the temple. contrast? i should think so.

Let’s face it, politicians have been lying and cheating their butt since the dawn of time. This is nothing new. However, our actions to ensure that we don’t have these kinds of politicians in the near future only emboldens future politicians.

What we see here are just shows. Senators, congressmen threatening to expose this and that. Dailies and tabloids putting this and that in the headlines … inquiries … exposes … fact finding comission etc etc. After a while the expose looses steam and another expose gets introduced. These cycle just goes round and round. Problem is nobody gets to do the time. They don’t get punished. If they do they have their best time in jail living like the elite they are. Hey! We are witness to this. Question is “WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT”. If we are just contented to write, report and talk about it them I’m afraid I DO NOT WANT ANY PART OF IT ANYMORE. I’m sick and tired and would rather work my butt earning a living or helping/influencing people the right way to live.

Let’s face it, one person taught the right way to live (living a life centered around Jesus) is better than you or me jabbing at things whose outcome we could hardly influence. I teach/influence and SHOW this person the right way , he teaches/influences and SHOWS another person … etc etc is the right way to go forward. Not, “let’s do some praying” then report to the press, visit “beleaguered” soldiers wanting to go to Edsa … etc etc.

The press always want something to write - they are in the business of writing (this is how they earn their money). And, the more we get involved in this “act” the more we become “couch potatoes” in this “movie”. We also get to make the actors, actresses, producers and employees in act quite rich.

Don’t you get it? This is a “movie”. Not just any movie but the “movie”. The actors and actresses say their lines and we say “oooh” and “aahhh”. And, at the end we “clap”.

Let us think “out of the box” for once and do something that isn’t already scripted. If you think that doing a Dinky is the right thing, I tell you better jump right out of the window. You and I both know that scripted actions are like actions of beggars waiting for scraps.

If we are going to make a change let us first start with ourselves with God. This call is not for people to do a Cory but a real honest to goodness call to heed God.

Even commenters here were calling for her resignation last year - mga galit, mga sawang sawa , sobrang emotional. We’ve all heard how stubborn and determined GMA is - mana nga daw sa mother nya is what I’ve read.
Let’s cast aside emotions, support impeachment and show a united fron, malayo aabutin nun.
–its hard to not be emotional when you pay your taxes year on year.. then government ask you to pay more.. and all you see are the same structures.. your business being pirated by illegal foreigners.. selling smuggled goods.. your livelihood compromised by corrupt taxmen….all these talk bout changing the constitution para walang check na and they will be free to spend all of your hard earned tax money on themselves.. they who were suppose to work for the people re working for themselves.. hell they’re not even working.. theyre just passing laws to enrich themselves… yup we hve to be united.. we have to be united against these people not just watch as they bleed our country dry…

I totally understand your point about not having a degree and making it big (I can attest to that, undergrad lang ako, and so far, maayos naman ang buhay) pero be honest, has she (Roces) really demonstrated any real ability to lead? So far, I’m seeing no real proof, except she’s making us feel sorry for her that FPJ is dead, and sometimes blaming others for his death. I do not belittle people who had not reached college. I’m just really doubtful she can lead us better than Gloria.
– personally i dont think she has any intentions of being this country’s leader.. ergo the lack of proof you speak off.. dont think she has the stomach din for what our leaders are doin now just to retain themselves in power.. now that may be a negative trait for you but to me at least i know that she isnt power hungry she isnt liar and a crook?? dat should count for something right?? i mean if given a choice would you follow an honest person or a crooked one..

About Estrada, if somebody would please read my post again, it says ACCUSED and not CHARGED……yet.
– i stand corrected then.. but if we wanna take this debate further.. why is chavit singson an accused jueteng lord allowed to be governor of ilocos.. while erap a charged but not yet convicted president not allowed to resume his presidency? logical b?

Ping Lacson - of course I’d be enraged, pero I’ll cross the bridge when I get there. Sa ngayon ang thinking ko is, bata pa rin yun, pano kung na-brainwash lang yun, 12 years old?? Tortured by PACC? Di ba nakakatakot ang mga pwede nyang gawin if he is our prez.
– hmmm kaya nga an dyan ang media right.. checks and balances sana na unti unti binubuwag ni glue and her spinsters..even if he’s the president.. he’s answerble to the people dapat.. di ung nagtatago.. sa eo646.. though para sa akin si roco tlga kso namatay sayang..

I do also agree that kahit sino ang pumalit we will have the same ole problems. Sa totoo lang, I cannot think of anyone else 100% honest enough.
– you dont hve to be 100 percent honest.. wag lang garapal.. 30 percent taxpyers money lost to corruption is garapal dont u think??

What I am proposing to the people blogging here is, some definite, real, concrete solutions. Just by reading your posts, most of you are not talking gibberish, may sense naman. Maybe if we could discuss SOLUTIONS instead. There will always be someone siding Gloria, there will always be an opposition.
– yup first we purge the zit sitting in malacanang den we discuss alterntives..

As for a replacement, I like NdC. He hasn’t shown any bias towards his former employer like everyone predicted. Even if its unpopular, he is sticking to his guns because of principio. He’s also hard-working and not making too much press noise about his activities. I also like the idea of making democracy working and having the VP as replacement gives the country and our institutions more credibility and gains us more respect, not in other coutries’ eyes, but in our own eyes.

bakit nga ba wala pa din post dito about the Opposition’s announcement of filing new impeachment proceeedings??

The call center employment rate does not significantly affect the country’s unemployment rate (there are enough statistics to show this). The usual process for development is focusing on agricultural development then industrial development (like manufacturing) then a service-oriented economy. We haven’t even reached agricultural development yet.

As for tourism, a foreigner who was thinking of doing business in the Philippines was told by another foreigner: “The Philippines is for vacationing not for doing business”.

Without the OFWs’ billions, I doubt we’d be “progressing” the way we are. They are the driving force of the economy, especially in real estate and SME’s.

Our “progress” is best exemplified by the increasing number of OFWs - who would dare risk being abused abroad or being far away from their families if the local economy was even good enough.
