guys ipadayon ang discussion. refrain from posting topics about me, mark and others. as long as you stick to the topic wala jud koy ireport.

napungot na jud ko aning mga OT's ha.

On topic: People power is not a solution. in fact, people power is an epic fail of the philippine history. there have been two people powers, now what? where's progress. well gloria made a difference, but i should admit it isn't enough. there should be a change of government. and we should have a parliamentary type of government

Di lang sa panghambog pero just to make my point: Mas dako pa gud ko ug sweldo kay sa presidente pero ngano mas dato pa man si arroyo nako? mao na ang pangutana diha!

i don't even own a mansion or an apartment unit abroad! hell i don't even have a house!

ehem! ehem!

FYI lng bai bah.. Si arroyo "DATO" nana sila daan before na siya na himung presidente.. Nangurakot lng gyd siya bisan dato na siya.. kuha mo?

about anang mansion2x bah.. Naa nana siyay mansion before pana siya na presidente.. TOP NOTCHER na siya klaxemate na sila George W Bush.. kinxai dli madato ana kung ing.ana ka bright

Since when did it say in the law that you are not allowed to run for office if you don't possess the financial means for the position? Nihilom lagi sila.

That act alone was an implication kung unsa gyud ka kurakot ato gobyerno. Tiaw mo na, kung huna hunaon nimo, why would ANYONE invest in millions of pesos for a campaign for a job that pays roughly 600T or less in a year? Diba ironic? Meaning naai "in between the lines" anaaaaaa!

Good point.

Out there it's a whole new ballgame. People who have money have goons to work for them.

I was a member of PPCRV and NAMFREL's Quick Count in our town when I was still in college, and we would go up to the barangays in the mountains to hold meetings with the people and educate them regarding the importance of exercising their right to suffrage. Sometimes we'd be heading our way home and it's night fall already, when suddenly headlights would shine on us from the darkness on the side of the road.

Though they never did threaten us verbally, but the message was clear. They don't want us educating the people samot na kung balwarte nila. And we weren't even candidates!

So for someone who doesn't have money to win in an election, he has to have a group of people who are dedicated to supporting him, going out there everyday, reaching out and talking to every single voter and letting them understand that the 50 or 100 pesos that the rich politicians gave them is only for today. That they have to look out for their future and choose wisely...

there are 2 ways to look at "people" in your post. "people" - as defined in your thread and "people" - A person (plural: persons or people; from Latin: persona, meaning "mask")[1] is a human being.. So you cant really say that the other definition is not applicable. If you know what I mean....
