The Arroyo’s and the Lopezes have been at it since their Iloilo days. A Lopez patriarch was responsible for bringing down Mike’s lolo’s political career. Go figure.

WouldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t it be smarter to let these two elites kill one another off?

hehehehe it wont get any better than these two titans at each others throat.

the way i see it, gma threw a curveball before the 2010 election to rattle the other economic elites eyeing the presidency. guess who would benefit? or she is trying to put the senators on the spot to take sides on the issue. anyways many of us on the sidelines will just watch this unfold and keep mum as filipinos generally abide by the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I guess we have to return to mainstream media and read books, newspapers, periodicals from time to time in order to cultivate a longer attention span. – jakcast

It takes long attention spans to learn what REALLY matters. Unfortunately the visual interface and rich media enabled by today’s technology has replaced text as a means of transmitting information to eyeballs.

So the so called “tech-savvy” today, in all ironies, is actually more attention-deficited than previous generations — because they are not used to absorbing information the old way (and in most fields of REAL learning such as science, mathematics, and REAL literature, the only way).

Visual and rich media technologies are creating a LEARNING DISABILITY in today’s youth by making them hooked on rich media and stunting their ability to concentrate on absorbing rich knowledge through text.

At the end of the day, when a computer crashes, all your left with is a command prompt and none of those icons and pointers some people have become addicted to.

i am surprise with GMA’s strong advocacy to open meralco’s books to look behind the reasons for the high power rates.

who would want to take on the lopezes right now who are also influencial in their own right. the president is picking a fight, im sure she did her homework and currently the lopezes are on the defensive. hmmmmm…..people who dislike the elites should now put their money where their mouth is.

Giving rice to school kids and the responsibility of feeding their family is like a politician with an infectious disease kissing babies.

regarding john mangun’s opinion on selling shares now at the PSE. i think if you are a daytrader you should follow his recommendations. if you are for the long term, its the best time to get in and accumulate more shares. you can never time the market. the only way you can beat it is to invest consistently for years on solid companies. philippine companies have a lot going for them, they have high profit margins and not overtly leveraged.

the PSE always do well when the DOW is at a tear. while US equities will try to test the march lows, i believe it already formed a bottom and will not take much for it to rocket up bringing the PSE with it.

Bencard,

I agree. It’s a pity that some people take advantage of this very simple feeding program.
