…that’s a tribute to lito lapid for his many years in the world of entertainment…a place where he RIGHTLY belongs (i.e., according to some…for i’m no fan of him)…

Alex Magno points to gambling and drug lords as the kingmakers in local politics.

true. arroyo’s buddies bong pineda and chavit singson will be the difference maker in 07.

So, the fight for the Constitution is still on but this time ‘with more vigor’ as GMA herself has declared and ‘against all odds’ as some proponents would like the administration to commit. Both sides should be gearing-up for a showdown, GMA’s Deceptive Cha-cha vs the Church’s Truthful Character Change. People could be more familiar about charter change, by now, than about character change. A campaign therefore is necessary and programs such as http://www.charactercounts.org/defsix.htm could be very helpful.

If you did not understand the meaning, then it’s time you started learning the TRUE FILIPINO language!

In case people do not get to read it…

To All Filokanos,

Naimbag a Pascua ken Naragsac nga Baro nga Tawen!

The political and economic stability we now enjoy under GMA’s watch has allowed investments to flourish in diverse industries including those that are export oriented.

The Thais devalued their currency to make their products more competitive against exports from the countries Philippines, Vietnam and China.

How GMA responds to the Thai lead is anyone’s guess but the point of the matter is that foreigners are choosing products produced by OUR know-how over others and that can only be a GOOD thing, whether you are pro-GMA or her basher!

ang galing! saan mo nahalungkat ang filmography ni lito lapid?

sa galing niya sa action, dapat ibato siya sa mindanao, hindi sa makati! hehehe.

All the best this Christmas and in the coming year to you and yours.

To all those who take up the GMA talking points about how briliant she is in promoting economic growth, the stock market stronger peso and other so called benchmarks. (How come the Thais organized a planned-poisoned pill-devaluation of their currency which they believe will benefit them in the long run?)

I heartily recommend Muqtada al-Sadr , Prime Minister Nouri Maliki and the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq as economic advisers for Neri, JDV and GMA for fostering an explosion of economic growth under harsh wartime conditions. The Iraqis owe a debt of gratitude also to ‘stuff happens’ Rumsfeld, and the stability of instability according to Rice. Their economic growth rate it seems is three times the Philippines growth rate. They seem to be growing faster than India and China. Neri, JDV and GMA have been trying to organize the 747 program. Time to contact the architect of all this in Washington. Remember ‘mushroom cloud Rice’s advice ‘do not settle for false stability. There is stability in instability. For the coming year make sure there is a lot of instability. The economy will respond accordingly.

“Civil war or not, Iraq has an economy, and—mother of all surprises—it’s doing remarkably well. Real estate is booming. Construction, retail and wholesale trade sectors are healthy, too, according to a report by Global Insight in London. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports 34,000 registered companies in Iraq, up from 8,000 three years ago. Sales of secondhand cars, televisions and mobile phones have all risen sharply. Estimates vary, but one from Global Insight puts GDP growth at 17 percent last year and projects 13 percent for 2006. The World Bank has it lower: at 4 percent this year. But, given all the attention paid to deteriorating security, the startling fact is that Iraq is growing at all.” —sounds like the Philippines

It was too late to sow the seeds of moral values to the youngs of the Philippines. One reason for this is the continued flow of OFW’s at the expense of the family. Once a dining table is imcomplete of the entire members of the family, growing children are deprived of the love of the absent parent. Material things are not enough to raise a child morally.

I saw myself in the community where I lived so many broken families as a result of workers going abroad. This trend is aggravated by the corruption in government.
