Things are happening!

Our education system has been purged of Tagalog by Presidential Order.

Population is currently being highlighted (and of course being shot down by the Church) as an issue that GMA seems inclined to act on decisively.

Read all about it by clicking on the following link:

It looks like no one's interested in seeing our country's problems in here.

I have been reading a lot of the articles in your site and also the threads you have made in other forums. (thanks to genmadrigal's site that I got from the Don Bosco discussion thread in PEx)

Though agree with your views and your solutions, I think implementing it would be next to impossible. It has been 3 years since you have started your site and yet no one with enough power have reacted to it or maybe even stumbled upon it. Politicians don't browse the web for things like this, you know.

If only I knew the president's email address, I would email a link of your site to her everyday.

Forgive my pessimism, maybe I'm just to jaded from what I see everyday that I have became too apathetic.

hi there, i love your site.... and frankly speaking, what's written there are all true... ang problema natin sa bansa, those who are in power have their agendas and personal interest, sabi ika nga, i will get my own glory kahit konti lang, bahala na yung uupo sa susunod ang mag aayos ng problema.... then the next in power uupo with the same motives, and this goes on and on... until it becomes a habit... then everyone wants to be in power, and attain their own glory... and the next thing we know, the philippine people is in deep shit but no one seems to care... why?

the rich becomes richer... the poor becomes poorer....

because the rich busy themselves to become richer, the poor busy themselves how to get by, day-by-day, the people in position, try to make money out of the rich and the poor. And if the rich & the people in positon are the same people, the poor are in more deep shit.

yon lang po ang pananaw ko... ika nga personal opinion lang...

don't rely on the current officials to make a move. they're already happy with their status quo, hence they do not need change. the only ones who could make political changement will be the next generation politicians. they have the key to steer the same road or swerve into another direction.
