They live in easements and under bridges which threaten their lives and cause pollution and clogging of floodways.
Kailangan talaga matanggal mga nag iskwatter sa tabing ilog, creek, etc.
Since we all know what the current government does (hmmmm...close to nil) about this, I wonder what the candidates will do. Say what Noynoy Aquino will do. Does he have the balls to root them out of these areas? O lame duck like the rest? Silent marami sa kanila.
Post-Ondoy might be as gloomy as it was before Ondoy.

Sana inanod na ng baha ang mga PI mga squatters na ito.......
School pinagnakawan na, ginawa pang CR.
Doble pasakit ang inabot ng principal at mga guro sa kanilang eskwelahan na matapos gawing evacuation center ay pinagnakawan, pinagsisira ang mga upuan at ginawang palikuran ang bubong nito sa Marikina City.
Ayon kay Ms. Rosario Diaz, principal ng Nangka Elementary School, halos panghinaan sila ng kalooban nang matuklasan na ang kanilang eskwelahan, na bukod sa nalubog din sa tubig-baha, ay pinagnakawan pa ng mga kagamitan, sumabog ang kuryente, sira-sira at ginawang panggatong ang mga upuan at ang pinakamasaklap ay ginawang palikuran ang bubungan ng eskwelahan dahil sa nakitang mga tambak na dumi ng tao.
Kabilang sa mga kagamitang ninakaw umano ay ang kanilang mga electric fan, cabinet ng mga guro na may lamang mahahalagang teaching materials at mga mono block chairs.
Bukod dito ay wala na rin umano silang kuryente matapos sumabog nang mag-overload ito dahil sa pagsasamantala umanong gamitin ng mga evacuees sa pagsaksak ng kanilang mga electric appliances tulad ng rice cooker, electric fan at sabay-sabay na pag-charge ng mga cellphone.
“Kahit ang mga bulletin board namin kinuha rin, ginawa nilang tulugan, ang mga visual aids ng mga guro, ang mga upuan, kahon ng mga bata na mga bagong pa naman, ang ginawa kinahoy nila at ginawang panggatong,” pahayag ng punong guro ng paaralan.
Subalit sa kabila nito ay buong pagpapakumbaba pa ring nakikiusap si Ms. Diaz, na sana ay ibalik ang kanilang mga electric fan at mga cabinet, dahil sa mahahalagang gamit ang laman nito sa pagtuturo ng mga guro. “Hindi naman natin nilalahat ang mga evacuees, marami pa rin naman ang nakakaintindi at tumutulong, siguro lang may iba talagang mga loko,” ayon pa sa principal.
Sa ngayon naman ay malinis na ang nasabing eskwelahan at marami rin umano ang mga tumulong sa paglilinis.
That's where our taxes are being spent.
Dapat talaga if your legal age and not paying taxes you don't have the right to vote. Kasi pabigat ka lang sa republic. mga skwaters pa ang malalakas mag anak ng anak ang kakapal ng mukha kasi nakaka kuha sila ng tulong sa gobyerno.
At least yung pera na binabayad ng tax payers napupunta din sa tax payers. Hindi dapat ginagastos ang hard earned money natin every payday sa mga taong walang utang na loob na tinutulungan na binababoy pa yung schools at mga social workers.
Removing their right to vote eliminates the cycle na ginagamit lang sila ng politicians for their votes kasi sila ang majority ng pilipinas.
To be honest ang middle class ang nagsusuporta sa pilipinas. hindi ang mayayaman kasi sila madadaya magbayad ng tax(ex lucio tan). tayo as a regular employee automatic deducted siya sa monthly income natin whether you like it or not.
Actually, yung mga nasa NCR lang naman na uneducated ang ganyan kasamá kung umasal.
Sa Provinces (at least those I've been into), matitino naman mga tao kahit hindi nakapag-aral.
nami-miss ko tuloy mga tao sa Camiguin Island...grabe sobrang bait talaga ng mga tao don when I was there last month.
actually c#*rd, lahat tayo di makatakas sa tax. Lahat ng binibili natin taxed e.
which leads me to think na if most of the pinoys are educated in the metro baket ang panget ng traffic situation sa manila? i think relative ang sinasabing educated.
Froshie1, yeah tama nga.
Last month, first time ko rin mag-drive sa Bukidnon, first time ko rin doon. Nagpunta kasi kami ng Transfiguration and sa Valencia to eat at Roadhouse Cafe (the famous sizzling pochero). 40kms from the house in Malaybalay, one way, pero totally worth it.
Ang sarap mag-drive, matitino mga kasama mo sa daan. Not one moment that I got infuriated. The ~80kms drive was a total breeze kaya di nakakapagod mag-drive. Unlike dito, within the first five minutes sa EDSA, maaasar ka na.
mgs sqautters na nga lalo pang nagpapaka squatters! tutal matigas ang ulo ng mga yang bakit kailangan pang tulungan? sayang lang ang resources ng Gov't sa mga yan. wala naman silang balak tulungan ang mga sarili nila eh...hanggang sa mga anak anak nila or apo aasa lang sa gov't mga yan
Evacuees rob 2 first-graders at Muntinlupa school
(The Philippine Star) Updated October 10, 2009 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - Two grade one pupils lost their jeepney fares to two evacuees given refuge at the Alabang Elementary School in Muntinlupa City.
The two six-year-old pupils told their teacher two teenaged boys held them up in the school’s comfort room and took a total of P23 from them.
Police are investigating the matter on orders of Muntinlupa police director Senior Superintendent Elmer Jamias.
Emilia Alvarez, Alabang Elementary School officer-in-charge, said they have asked the Muntinlupa police to deploy police officers inside the school and to arrest the two suspects.
“It was the only money they had then, which they intended to use as jeepney fare going home, but lost to evacuees who could have possibly bullied them,” she said.
More than 661 families consisting of 2,571 individuals left homeless by tropical storm “Ondoy” are housed in two buildings and two covered courts in Alabang Elementary School.
Alvarez said they have asked barangay officials to immediately move the evacuees to another place since they have been “affecting school classes especially that they were accommodated in our two buildings that should been for the use of our students.”
Alvarez said the evacuees, most of them men, have been smoking inside the school campus, and could be a bad influence to the students. – Rhodina Villanueva

[SIZE=3]Culture Is Destiny; A Conversation with Lee Kuan Yew[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]By Fareed Zakaria[/SIZE]
Lee Kuan Yew:
http://www.fareedzakaria.com/article...r/culture.htmlI'm not intellectually convinced that one-man, one-vote is the best. We practice it because that's what the British bequeathed us and we haven't really found a need to challenge that. But I'm convinced, personally, that we would have a better system if we gave every man over the age of 40 who has a family two votes because he's likely to be more careful, voting also for his children. He is more likely to vote in a serious way than a capricious young man under 30. But we haven't found it necessary yet. If it became necessary we should do it. At the same time, once a person gets beyond 65, then it is a problem. Between the ages of 40 and 60 is ideal, and at 60 they should go back to one vote, but that will be difficult to arrange.
When I went to Hyundai QA today to pick up my Santa Fe (repairs for scratches) I saw this brutal sight. Makes me very sad indeed!
