    wherever the president is dun and rally rally, mga siraulo mga squater dito sa manila, I suggest transfering the whole malacanang to Cebu and make cebu city philippine capital since people there seems to be more mature sa naririing ko, well then, kung ganon, mga tagao dito sa manila kahit ano pang gawin rally hindi maririnig at mabibigyan ng atensyon, problem is baka pati mga aktibistang squater dito e lumipat din ng cebu para manggulo

    Cebu is spared all this political turmoil, because there is not enough politician to cause much problem (maybe because only a family or two control politics there) and not enough population critical mass to have a strong enough political voice.

    Ot most squatters comes from the province That should explain how many jobs are there in the province.

    Or maybe you mean politics and religion should never mix.

    Business and politics do mix often. If you are not in good terms with the government, you're not likely to get any tax breaks or incentives for your business in the Philippines. And besides, investments in the country are influenced by government policies. You cannot simply ignore the government and the politics behind the government when you do business in any country.

    Now, RELIGION .... that's a totally different ballgame. If the church leaders are unable to choose priests who turn out to be gay pedophile maniacs, how can they even endorse a person to be the right president for the country? They should stay away from politics.

    When I meant was in our country's setting i.e. telcos, tobacco beer got big by who they know not what they can do.

    Government incentives are supposedly good for all not for a few.

    Religion should never have a say on anything(economic, politics and morality). Never have I believe on religous BS, history has shown how much we have benefitted from them. If only the dead could speak they would have B*&^% slapped those so called religous people.

    Mahirap talaga kapag politics and religion na ang pinag uusapan. Syempre iba ibang religion, iba ibang patakaran. Sa totoo lang, nung campaign period, ang mga pinakamagagandang sagot sa mga issues sa tingin ko lang ha, ay yung kay Bro. Eddie, saka may mga sinasabi siyang mga plano talaga hindi imagination hehe. Kaya lang mahirap talaga siya manalo kasi leader siya ng religious group. Baka naman sabihin ninyo baka magka grupo kami kaya maganda sinasabi ko tungkol sa kanya, Catholic po ako, Born Again ata siya or Protestant.

    Will gladly support your wish to secede Just let everyone know how much of our international debt are mindanaon would be willing to shoulder? and how are they going to return the money Lousy luzon has invested there?

    And please enumerate mindanao's economic plan.

    Sometimes a wish coming true could be the worst thing that could happen.

    narinig ko pa nga iniiterview si binay sa tv nila mel tianco, tinanong ni mel tiangco kung sino ipapalit nila kay GMA kung sakaling matanggal sya. aba! walang maisagot. kesyo nagcoconcentrate daw sila sa pagpapaalis kay GMA, saka na daw yun!

    kung di ba naman mga t*ng*!

    ano mangyayari sa pinas pag natanggal si arroyo? kanya kanya na lang ng government. mga mayor na mamamahala sa lugar nila?

    di yata nagiisip mga tao sa opposition... kawawang pilipinas...

    That's why you can contribute in saving this country from disaster as an
    ordinary rationale-minded citizen by influencing as many of your friends,
    officemates, and relatives to avoid joining these rallies. They are just
    causing traffic jam in the Makati area.

    Again, people can still support the anti-arroyo initiative in a more civilized,
    and less-economy-damaging means by simply allowing their congressmen
    to vote for the impeachment proceedings, in case a solid evidence has been
    gathered for it to be allowed to push through.

    with that kind of attitude & logic from the sworn leader of the country's premiere financial district, baka matalo na ng Ortigas ang Makati, hehehe.

    It is also very interesting to play the statistics game here.

    The frontpage banner from Philippine Daily Inquirer a few days ago says:
    "61% of Filipinos want GMA to go", in screaming bold fonts.

    But if you will read the story in smaller prints, Pulse Survey Asia conducted
    the survey out of only 1,200 respondents. How could that possibly reflect
    the conclusion saying "61% of Filipinos"? The more appropriate conclusion
    should have been "61% of 1,700 Filipinos surveyed".

    This shows how mixing faulty statistics with lexigrams can drastically
    alter the message being communicated just to satisfy a hidden motive.

    The point here is that these surveys (whether pro or against GMA) are
    not really scientific. They are just trash numbers intended to mold
    public perception. They only thrive in a country where people are
    gullible.

    Survey have never been accurate, no such thing as an unbiased question.
