Why are so many tears poured in airports and terminals saying good bye to our love ones just to work in the US! simple answer;life there is good or even better! And If only Mr Manuel Quezon did not deprive us with the good life out there just within our reach before, now forever gone and left us struggling for ourselves! and for sure he had a good life because he work and live there, even his family lives there..and its easiy to say "Ď want autonomy" thats, for me lang ha, pure and simple selfishness! For most politicians until today of course, they want a country for there own, for their own consumption and no super power to check the balance. And you might say "then we are puppets of the americans" so be it, I want to live a better life, I want our poor people, the slums to receive "food stamps"and free medicine, free education, real freedom! And the people of Guam, Hawaii, NO sir, they are not puppets, they are citizens of the United states of America!
Dont you want that?
(please dont think about yourself but our brothers and sisters who wants also to taste the good life!)
