IMO, this is just for public show...
Ilan bang malalaking sasakyan mayroon ang mga iyan?

July 14th, 2008 01:43 AM #14makakatulong lalo kung aside from their conversion ng LPG sa kani kanilang sasakyan, ay tanggalin nila lahat ng escort o hagad na ka linya nila sa tuwing sila ay nasa kalsada..
imagine mo.. lpg nga yng suburban nila, pero may naka lead na isang revo o innova (maaaring gas o diesel).. tapos may naka tail pa na isa pang revo o innova.. o baka patrol pa.. di pa kasama yung dalawang hagad na maaaring naka 400cc na bikes (na di naman pupuwede ma convert to lpg)...
granted na dun sa kani kanilang suburban eh sariling pera nila panggastos, sariling pera pa rin nga kaya ang panggastos ng gas sa mga escort nilang sasakyan? when these escorts are their because of their functions as legislators? kung di sila senator / congressman, di sila mabigyan ng escort..
so maaring pera nila pang-gas sa sariling sasakyan.. pero sa mga nag escort sa kanila... pera din nila?

OT
Just reading through the posts.... Is there not a capable/honest politician in the Philippines? I mean looking at here and other threads, they're either crooked with no real solid proof or showboating when they display any semblance of good. I'm just wondering because there hasn't been anything positive to hear about them whatsoever.
Maybe it's just Manila that's stagnating. If that's the case, then maybe the political center of gravity should be moved down to say the Visayas. The politicians down there seem to be getting more done, at least according to my wife.
I have to ask because the Philippines will have its national elections in 2010. If there's not one politician worthy of being elected, then what's the point? It does reflect badly upon Pinoys as a whole. The Philippines might as well be as lawless as Somalia.Last edited by Jun aka Pekto; July 14th, 2008 at 03:56 AM.

You're right about politicians. There's a dearth of competent and honest ones here. Waitaminit....we can't even put those three words together....politician? comptenent? honest?
Thing is, elective posts here are almost passed down from one political family generation to another. It's almost like a family business that gets handed down.
Still, there's some hope. It's actually refreshing to hear about a priest who got elected as Pampanga governor and a polio-stricken former journalist who won as Isabela governor, both of whom are actually doing well in their posts and justifying their being elected. Hopefully, we get more of those kinds of politicians who come from such backgrounds such as teaching, engineering, etc.
We have enough of lawyers, economists, bankers and former military officials in government already.

There are some politicians that are getting things done.
The problem with the Philippines is that Filipinos tend to overgeneralize things without knowing the details.
Yes - there are some (or even a lot) of rotten eggs in there - but that doesn't mean that everyone is like them. That is just a blatant disregard to those that are really working.
Another thing, politicians are becoming the *scapegoat* for all our country's problems. But go to private companies and you'll see the same *crimes* being committed by individuals on a regular basis.

As for those advocating fuel efficiency, they should be commended for at least making an effort to move in the right direction.
I was taught to value every cent, every drop of water (or beer ), every morsel of food, every grain of rice. The efforts of these politicians may not seem much. But, every little bit helps.
