    We all have to do our part to make the youth realize how theyr'e being taken for spin by the Marcos Marketing Machine. I've gotten into several dabates with some young eggheads who keep harping that the sins of the parents are not the fault of Bongbong. WTF, the guy is a Senator vying for the one of the highest positions of the land where Martial Law, human rights abuses, and ill-gotten wealth remains an issue today. That doesn't even include the FM era loans we continue to pay to this day.

    If he is sincere that he doesn't carry the sins of his parents and cronies, then he would have done steps to make amends:
    - return the money he continues to enjoy to this day?
    - Apologize?
    - Help Expedite human rights abuse cases?

    Nope. Instead, he says that there was nothing wrong with Martial Law and that the Philippines would have been a Singapore had his old man not been botted out. What a motherf cker indeed.

    I noticed they start referring to Bongbong as BBM rather than FM, Jr. Definitely trying to distance him from FM.

    There is no reconciliation without retribution.

    All of the people in the Philippines (all of us) who have been used and abused by corrupt officials whether government or private, should keep that in mind...

    Everytime I remember martial law, this song comes to mind when whene were forced to sing everyday during flag ceremony. First grader pa lang ako memorized ko na to. Grabe tlaga brainwashing nun. Idol talaga ni marcos si mao tse tong.

    Duterte's wishy-washy disposition is actually a smart strategic move.

    We all know he doesn't have the money and machinery to launch a nationwide campaign. If he knocks on the doors of rich businessmen, he'll be indebted to them for his term and will be unable to carry out his job without bias.

    So what's the next best thing to do? Smart marketing. We all know how much of a sucker Filipinos are for drama - especially pabitin/paasa drama. AlDub's success was fueled mostly with the anticipation of people to finally see them together. Likewise, Duterte is becoming a household name without spending on TV ads just by banking on the anticipation of people on whether he'll run or not.

    Imagine, a statistical tie with Binay and Roxas without even announcing his bid, and without spending an exorbitant amount of money. Ang galing.

    Agreed.

    Most of us don't have any better presidential bets anyway. Even if people do get tired of his drama, I'm sure they'd still vote for Duterte compared to other bets.

    That's good if he has plan of running... And I will still say this again he will not win even if he pushes thru with his candidacy.

    Duterte will not RUN if he is true on his decisions.

    If he will run by just a sub for the one that submit a COC on their Camp, then he is no different on other candidates, he can be manipulated by other people.

    On what he have shown based on statements, (social) / media, he's not willing, even if he already saw a lot of support from people not only here but outside PH, he was still hesitant to accept the possible very heavy responsibility.

    So if he will change his decision, better not to vote for him.

    My opinion though.

    Something going well with the administration candidate here...

    Well, again, PNOY's government style, generally, is on the extreme side of the management thing.... Yes, this has been taught in the business school we attended.

    No Project > No corruption > Balanced/Positive BOP.

    Minimal Projects > Minimal Corruption > Balanced/Positive BOP

    Properly Managed Projects > Average Corruption > Balanced BOP....

    MANILA - The Philippines� balance of payments (BOP) position - the sum of its total transactions with the rest of the world - reverted to positive territory in September 2015, with a surplus of US$219 million.

    Data released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Monday showed that the September surplus is a turnaround from the $450-million deficit in August 2015 and is higher than year-ago�s $98 million.

    It brought the end-September BOP surplus to $1.81 billion, way better than the $3.4-billion deficit same period last year.

    BSP Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. traced the inflows last September to the central bank�s foreign exchange operations and income from its foreign investments.

    He said deposits of the national government with the central bank also boosted the surplus and offset payments made by the national government for its foreign-denominated debt.

    �This brought the cumulative surplus to $1.81 billion, making us poised to achieve our full-year projection of US$ 2 billion,� he said.

    �The healthy BOP figure augurs well for stability in the foreign exchange market,� he added.

    Agree. Cash is king and the more we have enough funds in the bank the more insulated we are from the regional financial woes (read: China). I think our banking system is quite robust as well with strong fundamentals that keep us away from the danger of a bubble.

    I would go for Roxas simply because I want all the ongoing infra projects to finish which would undoubtedly alleviate the traffic situation and attract more FDIs.

    The long, hard road to sustainable growth is not popular. But at least the fundamentals are there.

    Problem is a lot of other people expect miracles overnight and even more actually believe what some sugar coating politicos and their supporters are saying.
