Hmmm... let's check the source, i.e. "respected columnist and political consultant" Lito Banayo.
Who exactly is Lito Banayo? For whom is Banayo a political consultant?
He is a self-confessed...
Being a congressman or congresswoman after being President shouldn't be viewed as degrading or unconstitutional. Nor is it unprecedented. John Quincy Adams was elected Congressman after serving as...
Once again, the scale of Marcos' greed, brutality and notoriety, and the lasting damage he wrought upon our country beggars description.
Achievements? Of course he achieved more than any...
Mao ba? Then that's good, right? Rising prices indicates shrinking supply.
The roads built by those Koreans? Financed by borrowing from the World Bank. You can bet not all of the money went into those roads.
In the final three years of Marcos' rule, the peso...
The media jumping to conclusions once again. It wasn't the Philippine government or PGMA paying for that but Rep. Romualdez of Leyte. Perhaps the media should ask where Rep. Romualdez got all the...
Na giddy gyud si giddyboy. :-D
Well, it wasn't as awkward as people thought. But it was in every way remarkable. During the procession of primary sponsors, PGMA and VP Noli de Castro were...
I wonder what the relationship between the couple-to-be and Erap is. Anyways, it should be fun. I'm sure the media is going to watch how they deal with each other *very* closely.
Now that you've brought it up... in Singapore their politicians and high government officials are among the highest paid in the country. Di na kinahanglan mangurakot because salaries match their...
First of all, let's learn how to spell the guy's name correctly. Unless we had a President Marcus I don't know about.
The very people who propped Marcos up throughout his term were the Americans,...
The ills of our country's political institutions today can be directly traced to Marcos. That's what some on this board seem to forget, especially the younger ones who weren't even around before...
You also have to remember that under Mussolini the trains ran on time.
There is no way, repeat, no way the Philippines was better off under Marcos. I still remember.
Revisionist history.
The Filipinos were not being disciplined, they were living scared. There's a difference.
If, according to you, democracy is now dead, mas labi na sa patay adtong panahon ni Macoy. Were you already around or at least old enough to remember how things were under Marcos?
So you're saying before 1986 there was democracy? Under Marcos?
Anti CON-ASS rally ganina sa Ayala Avenue, Makati. Kalimot gyud ko nga naa diay rally kay puwerteng hawana sa dalan. Wala gyud traffic. Looks like the planned mass action fizzled out. Before...
Walay limpyo sa politiko. Any politican out there who is now criticizing Pres. Arroyo will be no better if placed in the presidency himself. He or she could easily be worse.
It's almost a...
Speaking of village idiots, only a village idiot could believe that report came from the World Bank.
Without questioning what was said by whoever wrote that, he didn't have to pass himself off as...
Sperm bank tingali, not World Bank. :D
It's very clear that article was nothing but baloney it's not even worth discussing. No official World Bank communique would dare talk about sucking balls.
Ka jologs ba sa iniglish atong letter nga gikan kuno sa "Financial Analyst" sa "World Bank." Mura man ug Ininglish sa mga writer sa textbook nga gikan sa Department of Education. :-D
Kung gikan...
Kung tinu-od na, maayo ra pud nanikas siya kay luoy na unta kaayo ta kung si FPJ nakadaog. That would've been the Erap presidency all over again, but worse. And don't anyone ever say differently. :-D
Unsay gamblers' money ra? How about the tobacco excise tax kickbacks? Or the BW stock manipulation where Erap himself made hundreds of millions, even billions? (Unless you consider the stock market...
Sige, vote Erap Estrada back into the presidency and we'll all wish we had PGMA back.
Kadtong usa, kawatang daku, walay agi. :D
The trouble with us pinoys is we think the President can and...
