Arroyo’s term will end in 2010, that’s the law. You better hope and pray the next elected president is at least as good as Gloria Arroya is.

To think that under Marcus Dictatorship,
Philippines was one of the rich countries at that time..
Marcus indeed did a great job in the economy…

Anyways.. Abbot Gloria.. I really don’t like her..
never had.. and never will..
but sad to say.. she’s pretty smart…
than the other candidates..
but she’s not getting my vote neither..
in Phil politics, I think Legarda has the brains..

Yes, it really does sound like the Philippines have become an Asian Zimbabwe.

Trouble is, though, unlike in Zimbabwe where the West makes noises, you will not be getting help from America or the UK in this fight because this country caters to American interests through the bases they have there.

Because it is strategically positioned, and the US wants a permanent presence in the region, they look the other way.

That’s an interesting post about Arroyo being corrupt. All I see is allegations. Are there any other sources to back up these allegations? How about an opposing view. It’s nice to hear both sides sometimes to determine the the truth.

Corruption is exactly why the Philippines will never prosper. While we’re rich in natural resources, they will never be enough to attract investors to come in. The thick-faced ‘chosen’ few who are running the country to the ground will always be on the way of attracting these investors.

I never liked the dictatorship that Marcos imposed when he was in power, but from the way things are today, I guess the country was far much better during his administration than with GMA’s. I feel sorry for the poorest of the poor, their needs are being exploited during elections. And because of too much poverty people will just go with the flow – the habit of corruption that is. So it is just a vicious cycle.

Btw, when I was younger I used to wonder why despite very low salary, people will kill each other to get a seat as public official in the guise of public service. Well it didn’t take me long to realize that they must be getting much more than just the paycheck (very deep sigh).
