C’mon, let’s just remember what Loren had contributed to our country! the bills that she passed and the time she gave for taking care of our environment!

Let’s just help one another in making our country worth living for!

In other words, VOTE WISELY!

Look at this comment trail, mostly delved on personalities not on the issues at hand

On that note, I’d like to share a favourite quote of mine:

Small minds talk about people.
Average minds talk about events.
Great minds talk about ideas.

Go figure. ;)

These kidnappings only show one of the many reforms needed in our society, and we need it now. In my honest opinion, one thing that we could do is abolish the multi-party system that we currently have. This is brought about by the EDSA fanaticism of ’86, we have lost track of the logic that freedom has its limits. Stick with a two party system, from there issues take a focal point and not personalities. Turn coats will be barred from participating in the next election. Implement with finality the Anti-Dynasty Law which is frozen in the House of Representatives. The President’s term be cut to 4 years only with a benefit of re-election for another 4 years. Uphold the national ID system to automate elections and to streamline tax collection.

My friends, more than anything else, let’s not be branded as “atenistas”,”lasalistas”, “assumptionistas”, “ilocanos”, “visayans”, et. al. We are all Filipinos, sadly, until we think as a collective community and find resolutions together. We are just a bunch ill – fated nomads in the 21st century. Look at this comment trail, mostly delved on personalities not on the issues at hand.

suggested issues you may wanna think about:

- the 700 million peso fertilizer scam. Jocelyn Bolante (the primary suspect) is in New York still and intends to be back here in RP to his old job here in the Philippines as EVP for Prudentialife.

- Northrail/Southrail Project undertaken by the DPWH.

- The Overpriced Macapagal Boulevard.

- Election Rigging in Mindanao, how is Comelec Commissioner Garcillano now and the Comelec Regional Director Bedol?

- ZTE scam, didn’t both Neri and Lozada implicated Abalos? and doesn’t it ring a bell that the DOTC Secretary is clueless on the project?

- Malampaya Natural Gas Drill, we are supposed to be a producer of this resource. Why are we still using LPG on our stoves that are imported at a higher rate? to appease the big three oil players?

Stick on these issues, let’s see whose the real McCoy in government. I would really bet that any PR firm would charge millions just to handle any of these issues since they implicate such “honorable” personalities.

I am tired of spin jobs from PR practitioners that they hire

Problem is, Pinoys keep dancing to the tune of those spin jobs.

Until Pinoys grow enough brains there’ll ALWAYS be a market for the profitable antics of politicians and The Media.

And to those Loren supporters, I have nothing against her. But let me ask you this, who is the BOI Chairman that gave license to the pyramiding companies way back 2002? Who owns virtually 150 ha. of land not covered by CARP in Batangas? Who worked for the largest Filipino monopoly of public services? All of these controversies must be answered first. I am tired of spin jobs from PR practitioners that they hire.

— bitter truth. Well-pointed out
