philippine politics: a microcosm for world politics

[Hitchiker]

If you think about our current form of government, it is centralized and the head is in manila. But did you not wonder why we still are using a presidential system, a very inefficient form of government. We are a country archipelago. To be contd...

[<SMILE>]

And the dilemma is there,
how to promote cohesion amongst the regions of the archipelago.

Connect the islands through massive infra spending like bridges and underwater tunnels. @<SMILE>

what do you propose?

Building bridges would surely cost a lot of money but doable. Pero kung mutan.aw ta sa history sa greatest superpowers, makita nimo nga ila lang gipadako ilang budget para sa military spending. Greeks, Romans, Spanish, British, ug karon mga Americans. They conquered through military might. I think we must repeat history but must take it with a grain of salt.

Dili ta late oi. "People talk, nobody listens. Guns talk, everybody listens." Simple logic eh.

Look at the situation in Scarborough Shoal. Other Asian countries file protests against China. Well, did China listen? No! Why? Because they have more than enough firepower and it makes them cocky.

Dili Myanmar style. American style nga superpower. Nabuhat na ni sa una sa panahon pa ni Marcos. Naundang lang gyud. Mao ra gyud ni pamaagi para magkahiusa ang Pilipinas. @maxwell80
