im out of the country, but im always affected to what's happening in the philippines....political disorder, economy downward that leads to unemployment and poverty, poverty teaching people to steal leading a threat to your security......
ang gulo no? haaay naku!!! minsan naiisip ko n sana di n lnag tyo pinaglaban ng ating mga bayani sa mga amerikano...para gaya ng guam at hawaii, maunlad . pede p tayo pabalikbalik sa mainland u.s at madaling makapagtrabaho. sabihin mong may threat man sa u.s sa mg terrorist, eh ganun din ang situation....alyado tayo kasi nila.
kasi ala ring nangyari.... sila rin halos nakinabang sa mga natural resources natin at tayo ngayon at naghihingalo.
hay naku bayan minamahal!!!!

March 6th, 2006 11:53 AM #5I have actually thought about this too
it all boils down to what you'd rather do:
Serve in heaven? (US Colony tayo-walang decision making power)
or Reign in hell? (Independent Pinas- lets run this country to the gound!)
A lot of politicians obviously prefer to reign in hell.
If i were a politician (or someone with a lot of oopmh :p), ideally, i'd want to reign in heaven (think bill gates) but if i cant have that Id rather reign in hell. (think cuban drug lord heehee)
but since I am just an ordinary juan with no clout, i'd rather serve in heaven.Last edited by Chip; March 6th, 2006 at 11:57 AM.

March 6th, 2006 12:39 PM #7self governance takes ages to evolve. Wars have to take place. The most politically stable countries in the world all have a violent history. America, Europe... all had their share of wars before they became what they are today.
Masama nga pakinggan pero what we need here is a war. Para matauhan ang mga tao. Akala kasi ng mga tao people power lang ang kelangan para mag palit ng presidente/gobyerno... nawili ang mga tao sa pag rally sa edsa.
Sayang, proud na proud pa naman ang mga pinoy sa "bloodless revolution" pero wala din nangyari after 20 years. the Phils. still cant get its act together.
What we need is a war...

those of you who pray for war have never seen its horrors, or maybe you have this fantasy that it all plays like the movies...

March 6th, 2006 05:51 PM #15Yes... and we'll all be first in line for the firing squad. Free thinkers, college graduates, intellectuals, scientists, media, internet users... how else do you think the Communist Party was able to stay in power so long? Just kill everyone who disagrees with you and tell everyone who's left that all their possessions belong to the Party.... oh, that's how come all the "new" Chinese millionaires are communists.

Actually, we are protected by the same disgruntled soldiers who periodically rebel and clash with the government every time they get fed up with corruption in the system and in the ranks. And thsoe wars are minor. The MNLF and MILF already have their slice of the pie, the CPP-NPA has insinuated itself into the government and the Abu Sayyaf are merely bandits. Originally Posted by uls

We cannot progress through a clash of arms. Change must come from within, and must be a qualitative change in the focus and attitudes of our leaders. Leaders who pander to the "personality cult" favored by barrio politicians and ex-hacienderos or those who rely on the old American fall-back, an appeal to the voter's paranoid fear of the left, the right, the opposition or the ugly mug on their opponent's face.
Leaders who view the Philippines as a giant pork barrel, brimming over with goodies and just waiting to be exploited.
Numerous "revolutions" and armed conflicts in various other third world countries have shown that it is not the revolution that causes change for the better, but often times the peace that follows, wherein values are realigned, and these leaders realize the error of their ways and strive to make a change.
That's only if there is a peacetime that follows. Many times... and this is almost always the case... one "revolution" is followed by another... and another, as warlords all line up to take their shot at the honey pot.
The Philippines is exactly like those places... except our wars are never entirely public, and not entirely done with arms. Each and every conqueror starts out brimming with hope and promise... a promise that turns to thoughts of money, kickbacks and extending that power beyond the end of their term.
Because of the personality cult of politics, we're never getting to the point of change. After the next revolution, bloodless or bloody, we're going to get stuck with leaders who are more interested in their own empowerment than national development... again.
Kaya okay sana ang Parliament... it's too difficult for just one person or group to stay in power for a long time.

Someone ought to tell that to some very noisy neo-conservatives I know. The same neo-conservatives who want America to go to war with every single opponent in sight until all is either converted to America's ways, or laid to waste. Originally Posted by M54 Powered
