Power Crisis in the Loom! Again?

I saw a plant nearing completion in Mariveles, Bataan.

This 600MW power plant is strong enough to meet our requirements into the near future.

that's it

That's actually the problem with any democratic system wherein the head of the government is directly elected by the people rather than through parliamentary exercise.

kay gma kasi masyado nag fofocus ang current student council este administration.

It's not like nothing is actually happening. But I agree... Noynoy is too obsessed with GMA. To the point that people don't know what else is going on.

Yes, their long term plan is how to get their useless kids, grandkids and other families onto the political bandwagon.

* Niky, thats the tragedy of the current admin and their communications people. Binay's media men are doing a much, much better job.

Sa phone interview kay Almendras and Trillanes, the senator will only give emergency powers to PNoy if
the one responsible for the Mindanao power crisis gets axed. He even said that why do you need emergency
power kung malakas naman influence ni Pnoy sa congress. Almendras says he cant do it alone, but with the Presidents and congress' backing what is the obstacle. I hope its not Corona or the Senate.

Would you prefer a Prime Minister Joe de Venezia?

Let me think about that.

The problem is Joe would still be there due to democratic processes that elected him to Parliament, in the first place...

Now if only the ability to vote was linked to the ability to think. Minimum IQ requirements for voting? Paid voting? I'm still in favor of a Robert Heinleim style government... voluntary three year military or civil service required before getting the right to vote...
