MERGED: Do You Want U.S. Statehood For the Philippines?

No for U.S. statehood. Just let them come and do business 100% American owned.

[M.A.D.]

Dili jud total collapse ang mahitabo. Worse case scenario ma devalue ug maayo ang US dollar, mo contract ang US bases sa gawas kay dli na nila kaya ang gasto. Daghan negosyo sa US mang pull out posible pabalikon sa ilang nasod butangan ug moratorium sa goberno aron dli kaayo lisod. Ang luoy kadto mga nagsalig sa US para naay proteksyon kay dakong posibilidad unahon sa US ilang kaugalingon.

Kay kung mo collapse jud ang USD daghan ma among halos tanan nasod ma apil.

daghan gusto mag statehood -gusto ilang kuarta kuptan dolyar...hehe... ilang passport, blue ug kolor. ug gustong tawgon ug us citizen. huwat lang mo ug mo collapse ang dollar sigun sa mga american financial analysts.

ang question kung gusto ba pod sa US nga himoon tang new state nila. kung noong 1935, pwede pa cguro. well thanks but no thanks to a politician who said, “I would rather have a country run like hell by Filipinos than a country run like heaven by the Americans, because however bad a Filipino government might be, we can always change it...”

for sure di na ta dawaton pod karon para magpa member sa ilang union.

Not just the Americans but open to all Nations who wants to do business without hindrance .... Dili na jud kinahanglan mga statehood kay diman sab jud puede bisan unsaon ....

"I would rather have a Philippines run like hell by Filipinos than a Philippines run like heaven by the Americans" -- Manuel L. Quezon

Is that so? Were we consulted? On the fourth of July, 1946, we sentenced generations of Filipinos to live their entire lives in a country run like hell by their compatriots. How does pride in self-rule stack up to the reality that in the more than 50 years of independence, the majority of Filipinos lived in absolute poverty and countless others suffered, died, or disappeared as a result of the greed and lust for power of our leaders.



Our country is sick in every sense of the word and we are a morally, intellectually, and spiritually bankrupt people. Our virtues, once comforting when invoked, now, at best, point out disturbing ironies about us: packed Sunday masses and images of presidents, mayors and congressmen knelt in prayer, 'third largest English-speaking country in the world', 'where Asia wears a smile', 'Asia's most vibrant democracy', etcetera, etcetera.

Let's give it a break! (1) our brand of Christianity is medieval, (2) we not only cannot speak straight English, we are trying to banish the language from our education system, (3) we laugh at just about anything, even our own stupidity and on every conceivable medium ' mobile phones, the Internet, etc., and (4) showbiz personalities are dancing and singing their way into office. Growing pains, yes, but we could have had as our mentor, a country that already had more than 200 years worth of lessons in democratic governance. But no! In 1946, we chose to learn to walk before we could even barely crawl.

Any way one looks at things, the reality is this: we're stuck with each other and that stigma of being Filipino that was aggravated by Erap's presidency. The first step in the right direction is to swallow the bitter pill and take a good look at ourselves. That's us! Non-partisan, nothing personal. It's all in the culture which in GetReal-speak is defined thus:

Culture is the collective character of a people who have given themselves a collective identity.
