“manolo must’ve been such a seer by forseeing this as Gloria et al’s end. roast queen anyone?”

Where & WHEN?

At least, Nostradamus specified a time line than merely lickin’/hypin’ someone’s glASS.

He posts: ...Are wages rising? It’s possible. That is quite observable in the case of the fast growing industry like the call centers, other cyberservices, and electronics. It’s also possible that the continued flow of skilled workers abroad has started to tighten labor supply. Or it’s also possible that the 6.9 percent growth rate may have really created more job opportunities....

Your premise --- the "pesos after-taxes" sent by OFW's to their dependents spent in the Philippines is their way of paying taxes. Well, bystander (who directly pays taxes) also spends his after-tax income in the Philippines which results in VAT and other taxes. Come on already.... bystander is a better contributor to the Philippine economy than an OFW who does not pay income taxes. devilsadvoc8: You are still glorifying (pun intended) the OFW non-payment of taxes using a methodology that does not make sense.

And maybe then, civil war wouldn't have to be so attractive anymore. why would civil war not make a difference? it would virtually change everything! ah, u must've meant abt me saying twice: what's the difference? well, i meant bet civil war and more of Gloria, what's the difference? bet conflagration or simmering peace, the difference doesn't matter. better go in with the possibility of change, than stay fence-sitting sinking in Gloria's quick sand. yeah it could be worse after. but i won't be alive to know that if that happened eh? "you don’t need a spiritual advisor. just change your job and cease advocating for the devil" wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha... get a mirror and speak that again. u myt understand why that set me off laughing. btw, no comments abt Piggy City and Clueless the Mole? everything completely made sense? and not even contesting that no one loves the silly dwarf? sad. even her supporters agree no one loves her. and Mama Mary says get her out of it. this silly queen's propensity for taking God's and all the saint's names in vain is contagious. Zooberry jz caught some if it. hachoo! a pig in a poke, a pig in a poke... manolo must've been such a seer by forseeing this as Gloria et al's end. roast queen anyone? “that’s right, the tyrant you get rid of could be replaced by a new one that could be much worst.”
