On Political Dynasties: JPE defends son, Binay daughter

[uls]

to ensure they stay in power, tinutuloy lang nila ginawa ng mga Espanol dati -- panatilihing indio ang mga Pilipino

panatilihing mamgmang ang masa. madali bolahin. madali lokohin

during campaigns, sing and dance lang gagawin plus puro pangako

panatilihing mangmang ang masa. mababaw ang kaligayahan. madali pasiyahin

[uls]

speaking of oligarchs...

uls:

the elite will always be in power

what did people expect? a government for the people, by the people?

keep dreaming

the starring cast changes every few years but the powers behind the scences are always the same people

Monseratto:

...or the same families.

uls:

yes, the same families

the Philippines is ruled by oligarchs

Kasalanan na naman ng gobyerno dahil walang ambisyon yung so called masa? Walang kasalanan ang gobyerno nasa tao yan

pwede na ulit mag post ng katutuhanan .... na TRO ang RA 10175/CPL

[dfopiso]

^^ actually hindi kasalanan ng gobyerno o ng masa

naging kultura na ng mga datu noon ... na naging clans ... na naging tycoons ... o oligarchs

sabi nga ni F Sionil, mga 300 pamilya lang controls 70% ng yaman ng Pilipinas

actually hindi naman masama yun kasi ilang pamilya din lang meron control sa ibang maunlad na bansa

ang problema sa atin, na magnify yung patronage kesa meritocracy

wow ... F Sionil also wrote about it

Be the revolutionary your father wanted to be and don’t be scared or wary of the word “revolution.” It need not be always bloody. EDSA I was not. Your father wanted to destroy the most formidable obstacle to our progress — the Oligarchy to which you and your family belong. To succeed, you have to betray your class. If you cannot smash the oligarchy, at least strive to have their wealth develop this country, that they bring back the billions they stashed abroad. You cannot do this in six years, but you can begin.

Much of the corruption is done at the lower level of govt

sorry but i don't agree with that

a lot of corruption happens at the highest levels of govt involving mind-boggling amounts of money

the wealthiest in the private sector all have friends in the highest levels govt

as if this is a start... start to what?

start of realization that nobody can go against the Yellow Army?

they've proven to be very powerful

they jailed an ex-president. now they impeached an SC justice

impressive

now everyone will bow down to them

they're untouchable

the Tarlac Mafia/Yellow Army/Makati Business Club hacienderos rule the country

sa tingin niyo this will benefit the masses?

haha

the masses will remain poor

the powers-that-be will always look after their own interests first
