    Thankfully, mas-conscious mga politicans here in Metro Manila ever since the Ampatuan disaster. The Ampatuans were considered untouchable at the height of their power. Buti nalang nagka-national coverage yun massacre but it should give you a picture on how it is sa Philippines. It's not democracy but really just defy-me-and-die autocracy.
    I guess a lot of political families are inspired by Joseph P. Kennedy eh. :D All over, it's common to see offspring of elected and appointed officials already trying to find their way into politics. With things going that way, from the time of our grandparents to our grandchildren, names of those in power will hardly change. No offense to your friend but the thought that as early as now politico families are already grooming offspring for the Presidency shows that political clans just cannot relinquish power anymore or see their elected positions as a monarchial birthright, and all we can hope for is they evolve for the better. My opinion with the Estradas though, you will never know how it will be after Erap moves on since it's Erap who really holds the clout with the masses.

    With all these (GMA, Ampatuan, CJ Corona, et. al.) cases, do expect political personas to wisen up all the more with how they run business and launder their money.

    That "8" plate is a symbol of abuse talaga.

    OT: I saw nung May a sweet S-Class sporting a "7*D" plate...kay Baboy Drilon? :D
    Ano back up vehicle? LC80 and JDM vans?

    Si Miriam naka S-class.
