It is not my solution. There must be a good reason why every democratic country in the world had created their own constitution and adhere to it.

Peoples power polarized the nation. Instead of useless people power that created more destabilizations, people should constructively channel their energy of reclaiming the democratic channels of changing the leadership by constitutional means.

inodoro on “for not all countries in alba’s study have strong ofw phenomenon going for them”.

inodoro on “has nothing to do with the merits or demerits of the study”.

check again, the statements are contradictory.

those are not contradictories, but are in fact unrelated statements. the first follows your critique, the second is for someone [not you] who thinks the way to make a critique is to lay down first one’s academic cards, like as if this appeal to authority (?????) makes for a sound analysis.

am not mad. sorry for this mislead.

inodoro on “has nothing to do with the merits or demerits of the study”.

check again, the statements are contradictory.
if data are not comparable, then the conclusion or analysis is skewed.

pls, don’t be mad…am sure you can look at it objectively

alas ka dora on, “Can you live with less than a dollar a day per capita?”

shaman on, “Poverty will never be alleviated unless we get the kind of leadership that some of our neighbors have been blessed with.”

You guys can write a book to prove your point.
I’ll make it simple.

That illusive opportunity, capita or blessed leadership that you are talking about….how many peoples power had been waged in Manila without any tangible results. Aber!

That is not apathy either as cvj suggest anything that did not take his narrow view. There is difference between pragmatic solution and waste.

My sister in law by tha way told me that you can live comfortable with 700 euro/month. An inflation of 3% is nothing t them because their salariea have a yearly increase of about 5%. Do we have that kind of opportunity here. So what if GDP is 7.5%, can an ordinaryjuan de la cruz afford decent meal?

dODONG,

To aid you in understanding the whole thing, you need to comapre the per capita income of the americans vs. juan dela cruz. Dollar-to-dolla i’m sure you will know why a price increase of any number is abominable to Filipinos than to the americans. Can you live with less than a dollar a day per capita?

I’m not saying that the government should do the earning for the worker. It’s easy to say to look for the job that pays well, but it’s not there. However, it is the government’s role to set the conditions for the private business sector to prosper and generate more and better jobs that will put more money in the pockets of the ordinary worker. It’s not happening right now because of failed political leadership, bureaucratic incompetence, and systemic corruption.

Poverty will never be alleviated unless we get the kind of leadership that some of our neighbors have been blessed with.
