It’s the economy, stupid

Executive Secretary is finding it hard to understand why the Filipino people do not like Gloria Arroyo despite her working so hard, traveling all over the country doling out crumbs from the billions of pesos that she rakes in from the citizenry.

Following the release of the SWS survey for the period June 27 to 30 where dissatisfaction over how Arroyo runs the country was reflected in an all-time low rating of -38 , Ermita said, “Of course people have to wonder why after the many things that she is doing for the well-being of our citizens that that should still be the perception.”

Ermita is wrong. People do not wonder because they know and they feel it. It’s the economy, stupid.

(The phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid” was used widely during Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign against George H.W. Bush, father of the current U.S. President. Coined by campaign strategist James Carville, the phrase harped on bad shape of the U.S. economy at that time which they blamed on Bush’s mismanagement.)

Ermita cannot understand it because he does not bother with the pesos and centavos of survival. He should listen to the lament of housewives whose P1,000 can no longer buy enough of her family’s basic needs. He should listen to a taxi driver whose choice is either to ply the streets and earn barely enough to pay for gasoline and his “boundary” fee with almost nothing for his family, or stay at home and see his family go hungry. He should see the children rummaging garbage bags for plastic materials they can sell to buy food during hours when they are supposed to be in school.

“Let the people be judge of GMA,” Ermita said.

The survey score is the people’s judgment. The reality is, majority of the Filipino people do not like Arroyo.SWS is one of the reputable survey firms and its integrity is much, much higher than the Commission on Elections who gave Arroyo dirty votes in the 2004 elections.

It’s worthy to note that the survey was taken during the last two days of Arroyo’s visit to the United States while the country was reeling with the devastation wrought by typhoon Frank. On the last day of the survey period, Arroyo was already back in the country and had resumed her dole outs in typhoon-ravaged provinces.

It just shows that the people are not fooled by her charity act using funds that contribute to making daily life a difficult struggle.

People see VAT as a curse and for Arroyo to take pride in the P8 billion windfall and her tax collectors getting bonuses for it is criminal. It’s unforgivable.

The poor know how to make the connection between the 12 per cent VAT and the increase in jeepney and bus fares. They know the connection between VAT and the increase in prices of rice, fish, meat, sugar, milk and other basic goods.

Why would the “lifeline users”, those who are the lowest consumers of electricity, thank her when she makes them go through the hardships and humiliation of queuing for hours just to get their P500 instead of just deducting it from their Meralco bills? Why would they be grateful to her when they know very well that the money she is doling out is the people’s money which should not have been collected in the first place?

The demand is for her to scrap the VAT which contributes to the upward spiraling of prices of everything. But Arroyo will not do that because her greed makes her think people are stupid. She has not grasped the degree of the people’s distrust and anger towards her.

Malacañang yesterday announced that responding to Arroyo’s appeal, Petron and Shell, two of the country’s three biggest oil industry players, agreed today to roll back the pump price of diesel fuel by P1.50 per liter effective today.

If they think people will be jumping with joy and thank them for it, they are wrong because motorists know that in the coming weeks, they will again raise the prices double, even triple. They did it with gasoline prices two weeks ago only to raise it again after a week.

Who does Gloria think she is fooling?

* * *

There’s a Malacañang-commissioned survey (not SWS) sometime ago that is providing amusement even among some Palace insiders. It was a popularity survey and Imelda Marcos got -45, Osama bin Ladin – 46, Mike Arroyo – 47 and Winston Garcia -50.

I asked what’s what GMA’s score. The source said she was also minus 40 plus, which more or less coincides with the SWS finding. But what many in Malacañang found enlightening is that Filipinos dislike Mike Arroyo and Winston Garcia much more than Bin Ladin.

    Nagtatanga-tangahan o talagang tanga si Eduardo Ermita. Estupido Ermita!

    What, Gloria is doing many things for the well-being of the citizens?! Citizens who???? Baka iyon lang EK citizens! Idiot Ermita!

    The sad fact and reality is, money talks. What this Evil Bitch lacks in popularity, she has billions to buy the popularity. At the end of the day, these poor people would take the money and forget about her unpopularity. And that’s where the danger is.

  3. Chi: Nagtatanga-tangahan o talagang tanga si Eduardo Ermita.

    I think both. But don’t believe the lie that this guy is faithful to Gloria. it’s still self-interest. Siyempre pag natanggal si Gloria at makulong, sabit siya dahil balita ko marami ring kurakot ang mamang iyan.

    It’s Gloria Arroyo, stupid. Gloria’s bogus presidency and her voodoo economics have ruined the country to ground zero. Wala ng natira. Si Gloria ang problema, estupido.

    “Gloria Arroyo’s below zero rating shows the people’s disgust over the administration’s incompetence, misgovernance and corruption, as well as the extra-judicial killings and
    disappearances most of which remain unsolved. Besides, hers is a presidency without mandate and the people know that,” Senator Nene Pimentel said.

    Gaya na lang nitong P1.50 price roll back sa presyo ng diesel matapos raw kausapin ni Gloria ang oil companies.

    Akala yata ni Gloria ay matatanga niya ang mga tao. E nagtaas ng P3 bawat litro sa halaga diesel ilang araw lang ang nakaraan. So, lugi pa ang mga consumers. Besides, bumaba ng malaki ang world price nito kaya gumawa lang siya ng timing para kausapin ang mga kompanya na madali talagang magbigaya ng roll back kuno.

    Kahit na mga bata ay alam na manloloko ang reyna ng mga korap!

  7. Senator Chiz Escudero said politicians and political parties have their attention trained at the 2010 presidential elections and they are more comfortable that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo would finish her term.

    “We have already suffered and sacrificed for seven years, what is two years?” he said of Arroyo’s administration.

    To Chiz Escudero,patience is long,long,long suffering!

    “Let the people be judge of GMA,” Ermita said.

    Ayaw naman ng sanp elections. Yung survey e judgement na. E ano pang judgement ang hinahanap niya? Yun bang, ilabas si Gloria sa Palasyo kasama ng mga tanga niyang gabinete at alipores sa mataas at mababang kapulungan, ilagak sila lahat dun kahabaan ng makapal blvd at kuyugin ng mga tao? Kung ganyang klase ng judgement ang hinahanap niya, hindi magdadalwang isip ang mga tao ng pumunta doon at kuyugin sila. Kahit malayo, pupunta sila, makuyog lang ang mga ito.

    Between nagtatanga-tangahan and tanga talaga? Tanga talaga iyan! Hindi na kailangan pang pag-isipan.

  9. chi chi

    Iyan ang hirap, ang mga politikong tulad ni Chiz na may ambisyong mag-presidente ay nakatunganga at naghihintay ng 2010, walang bale sa kanila kung magutom at magkalintek-lintek ang Pinas!

    Mayaman si Chiz at wala siyang pakialam kung dalawang taon pang magugutom ang mahihirap. Pare-pareho silang walang puso!

    Chiz and others like him think only of their comfort. What about ours?

  10. Chi,

    Nang bumaba ang rating ni Abe dito, inaraw-araw siya ng media hanggang sa napundi siya at nag-resign. Bilib ka sa media dito kasi pag tinutukan nila ang issue, lahat ng dyaryo dito iisa ang tema, hanggang sa mamoblema ang tinutukan at bumaba. Hindi kasi tinatantanan. Kung gustong pababain, napapababa kasi hindi titigilan ng batikos hangga’t di bumababa. Sa Pilipinas kasi nababayaran ang mga journalist kundi natatakot pinapatay!

    Kawawang bansa talaga! Kaya OK ngarud itong blogging. Kahit papaano, nakakabira!

  11. Oooops, mali yata ang tagalog. It should be, “…kundi tinatakot, pinapatay!” Or, sinasampahan ng kaso gaya ng ginagawa sa mga matapang na katulad ni Ninez C. Olivares ng Tribune.

  12. Toney Cuevas Toney Cuevas

    Whore Gloria has already been judged and sentence by the people years ago, what is now needed to be done is to carry on the execution of the whore along with her pigs of criminals. Noreover, it’s not the economy ‘stupid’, but Ermita for being ignorance and blind.

    Gloria Arroyo is the most unpopular Philippine President since democracy was restored in the country in 1986.

    Was democracy really restored in 1986? Or was it also a bogus democracy? To me and to many others, 1986 was a power grab like the 2nd Edsa. I’m sure there are as many who will disagree. But, it comes down to who’s saying it and which side one belongs.

  17. Just because Marcos was removed from Malacanang, there was no democracy restored in the Philippines where the government is only FOR, OF and BY the oligarchs, landgrabbers, etc. who have managed to get themselves positioned in the government by hook or by crook after the US granted the Philippines its independence.

    If there has been democracy there, I doubt if there would be any disgruntled Filipinos who would want to leave the country and look for better opportunities, etc. overseas, where they are even able to make good use of their talents and prove their worth. Kaya nga umaalis ang mga pilipino sa Pilipinas. Walang freedom even from want!!!

  18. Hindi ko na pinapansin si Escudero. Nagduda na ako diyan when I saw him attending some party with the pandack just a few months before the election in 2007. Kadiri ang dating. Magkaabresyete pa ang mga ungas. I bet you, nakikinabang din iyan with the Bruha there making pasarap at Malacanang.

    Sayang siya. Akala ko kasing tapang siya ng lolo niya who was the founder of the guerrilla movement in Southern Luzon during the war sabi ng mga sundalong na-interview namin a year or two ago for some special on the war in the Philippines. Buti pa nga ang mga hapon, gumagawa ng historical documentary on the Philippines kahit na lumabas na kontrabida ang mga hapon. Purpose kasi ng documentary on WWII is to remind the people here never again to wage a war on anyone. Kaya siguro binabasbasan ng Diyos ang Japan.

    If I were a Philippine voter, I would not vote for Escudero and Cayetano ever again. Nagpasikat pa doon sa ZTE/NBN scam, bitin din, reason in fact why I am also not impressed with Lacson. Buti pa talaga iyong nakakulong, may ginagawa kahit na iniipit ng husto!!!

  19. vic vic

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the system of giving too much credence to Personality instead of Programs and strength of the Party Platforms is making every possible Great Leader in the country turn into the same, same old promising before the “Throne” and that Promise stop there…

    Many hedged their bets on Escuadero and Cayetano, the young Generation of promising Leaders, but not even before they get to where they wanted that the true pictures starting to get exposed…it’s all in the name of self-interest, instead of the collective interest of the Party and of the Nation..

    Gayun pa man huwag po sana nating itakwil ang sama-samang kilos Bayan ito po ay mabisang paraan para matanggal ang reyna ng kurakot at tuta sa Malacanang.

    That’s right Vic. Those of us who hav been working abroad, or have travelled and seen the world, can easily see what good governance can do for the citizens in terms of progress, services and standard of living.

    Why do we, as a people, don’t demand the same from our government? Is it beacuse of ignorance, or being subservient, or just plain laziness?

    A country so rich in natural and human resources to be so poor is just unforgivevable. I believe it is time we take the government to task and make them accountable for the mess we are currently in.

  23. Stupid talaga itong mga tuta ni Gloria. Bakit daw mababa ang rating niya e hardworking siya. Bwahahahahaha! Yes, hardworking nga siya. Working hard syphoning the contents of the treasury with the help of her appointees. Ngayon nga lagot ang pera sa SSS, OWWA, etc. pag pinayagan umupo iyong mga sipsip na supporter niya. Dala-dalawa pa ang mga appointments to insure na mako-confirm sila! ‘Lol talaga!

  24. bitchevil bitchevil

    Thanks grizzy. I believe democracy was not restored after 1986. That term was used to justify removal of a legitimate President (Marcos). And what do they call Edsa Two? Second restoration of democracy?

    Chiz Escudero is the godson of the Evil Bitch. To Filipinos, such affiliation is hard to break. But in fairness to Chiz, he comes from a good family. His father now Congressman was Marcos’ Minister of Agriculture. Nothing bad was heard of his father. Also, among the current Senators, Chiz is the second poorest next to Senator Trillanes.

    ITS GLORIA ARROYO, STUPID!!!!!!!

    Siya ang may kagagawan ng ating paghihirap sa kasulukuyan! Habang naghihikahos at naghihirap ang sambayanan, patuloy ang pagpapakasasa at pagpapakasarap ni Gloria the Evil Bitch at ng kanyang pamilya!

    Siguruhin lang sana niya na nakaayos na ang kanyang exit plan sa 2010. Hindi sila mabubuhay ng tahimik dito sa Pinas. Di sila mapapatawad ng masang Pilipino sa paghihirap na kanilang dinanas sa ilalim ng kanyang rehimen!

    Para kay Ermita at Remonde:

    ITS GLORIA and her cohorts, STUPID!!! And that includes both of you!

    Noong nag power grab si yellow Cory Aquino as housewife president ay dictatorial then ang labas. Tinangal nya ang konstitusyon at habang ginagawa yong 1987 yellow konstitusyon ay kung ano ang lumabas sa bunganga nya ay yon ang batas.

    Noong nagkaroon na ng Cory yellow konstitusyon anong klaseng konstitusyon ba ang ginawa nila. Ang iniisip lang ni yellow Cory ay yong batas na pabor sa kanya at hindi na inisip kung anong mangyayari pagkatapos ng term nya.

    Ang isang halimbawa ng Cory yellow konstitustyon na problema natin ngayon sa korte suprema ay ang sistema ng pag aapoint ng miyembro nito. Si yellow Cory lamang ang direktong makapag aapoint ng miyembro ng korte suprema. Bakit ganon? Yun ang gusto nyang sistema na mailagay sa konstitusyon eh. Galing sya sa US at kahit di sya nagpunta ng US ay alam nya na ang presidente ng US ay nagrerekomenda lang ng miyembro ng korte suprema at subject to approval ng senado. Kaya ano ngayon ang nangyari ng si unanong ahas na ang naging…hmmmnnn…si unanong ahas din ang direktong nag aapoint sa miyembro ng korte suprema at kontrol na ng mga appointed nya ang korte.

  30. bitchevil bitchevil

    The 1987 Constitution was made in rush. Some of those who were responsible are even admitting the mistakes today. When Cory took over, she wanted a new Constitution. She didn’t really care whether it was good or bad (what did she know anyway?). All she cared was to go after the Marcos family and his assets. All throughout her term, it was pure vengeance not governance. She allowed her brother Peping, leader of Kamag-anak Inc., to go on with his crimes. Peping is likened to today’s Pidal Arroyo.

  31. Papaano palang di magmumukhang matalino si Gloria Bobita, e mga estupido at bobo pala ang nakapaligid sa kaniya. Di nila payuhan iyong estupida na bumaba na, pero siyempre pag baba ni lukamberat, kasama sila…hanggang Muntinlupa? 😛

  32. dandaw dandaw

    All along Yellow Cory (as you call her) did not do anything constructive while she was President. Remember Pandak was her under study. Look what her under study is doing now. Pandak out-smarted Yellow Cory. The only time we the people can solve the corruption in the Philippines is when the election for Pandak is over, she should answer for her crimes. Do not use the Supreme Court or her cronies to judge her because we know no justice will come out of it. She should be dragged to the deepest dungeon and let the people that she has offended be the judge. Let it be a lesson to the next candidate that the Filipinos have enough of their shenanigans.

  33. I can understand the feeling and sentiments that we, who love the land of our birth, are capable of having. Just now, I found these quotes to ponder.

    “He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger”: Muhammad

    =
    “Do not say, that if the people do good to us, we will do good to them; and if the people oppress us, we will oppress them; but determine that if people do you good, you will do good to them; and if they oppress you, you will not oppress them”: Muhammad

    =
    “To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace”: Bible

    =
    “Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.”: Buddha – Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta

    I like the last one, but the other quotes from Muhammad only show that Dubya Bush has committed a great sin blaming the Moslems for all the evils of the world, and the likewise stupid guys in Pakistan, Lebanon and Palestine, incensed, do exactly what their prophet had forbidden them to do.

    Low rating spurs GMA to try harder, sabi da ng Palasyo ng demonya.

    Yeah, try harder to help herself become more filthy rich!

    Bababa pa ang rating ng walanghiyang babaeng iyan kasi ay irarasyon na naman ang bigas tapos ng Agosto.

  35. chi chi

    Hindi raw inaalintana ni Gloria ang -38 rating sabi ni Remonde. E bakit luwa ang dalawang mata at nakalawlaw ang eyebags?!

    heheh! Kung ganyan ang mga picture ni Gloria na makikita ko ay kakabagan ako sa katatawa!

  36. Chi,

    Iyong sinasabing try harder ng magnanakaw ay ang trying hard niyang masimot ang lahat ng laman ng kaban plus ang pagwawaldas ng mga ari-arian ng Pilipinas. Working hard nga naman na makamkam ang kayang kamkamin, and no thanks doon sa mga kasamang mga mandarambong din.

    Pero hanggang tingin na lang ba ang mga pinoy? Ang pangiiiiiiit ng litrato ni Boba sa Malaya, no? Tuwang-tuwa ako sa itsura! Pero kwidaw ka, baka bukas inuutusan na iyong finance secretary niyang maglabas ng pera para sa plastic surgery niya na doon na yata ginagawa sa Clinic ng Malacanang kaya bawal na raw ang mga mahihirap na nagpapagamot noong araw doon.

  37. I find it hard to believe anyone could resist her conscience this strongly. Personally, if I were in the her shoes, I could have had a heart attack already, following bouts of paranoia and fatigue due to extended sleep deprivation. My guess is, valium is the order of the day…

  38. Jug,

    I can believe that the Bru has no feelings at all. Pinawili kasi ng mga magulang. From childhood, I understand that the creep would have her tantrums and be the spoiled brat when her wishes would not be granted by the parents and reason I guess why she was sent away to Iligan City for a while.

    There was the story that when Macapagal made a state visit to the US with all the members of his family including the yayas, the Bru objected to her half siblings staying with them in one suite. Naglupasay daw sa lobby at hall ng Astoria sa NYC. Walang nagawa ang kunsintidor na mga magulang kaya kinuhanan na lang ng ibang kuwarto iyong mga kapatid sa ama. Ganoon kamaldita ang ungas.

    Look at her picture in Malaya. I bet you, pinapagalitan niya iyong farmer for the bad harvest kaya iyong mga farmhands sa litrato nakasimangot din! Ganyan katoyo ang utak ng ungas. Nahalata ko na iyan bago pa tumakbong senadora iyan. Tsismosa pa ang dating sa totoo lang! Kulang sa disiplina kaya pretending na displinarian siya. Yuck!

  39. What the heck is the idiot inviting Erap to her SONA for? And why should Erap attend the SONA when he knows that she will be telling Filipinos another pack of lies, promises and pleas to make her a good president as if that is what she really aims at doing instead of her usual siphoning of the treasury. Lokohin niya ang lelong niyang panot!

    Dapat diyan malaking protest rally sa Lunes. I understand militant students are advising their fellow youth to skip the SONA, no switching on the TV, radio, etc. so the viewing rating will be that low even just to embarrass the idiot even when everybody knows she won’t be embarrassed at all dahil makapal nga ang apog!

    No TV, Radio on Monday Please!

    Wala na talagang kapantay sa kakapalan ng APOG si Gloria! At pumunta pa sa Gensan para lang magpa-photo Op doon. Siguradong pasikreto nila itong ginawa. Otherwise, hindi lang bulok na itlog ang tatama sa kanyang mukha kundi mga bulok na balot pa!

    Sharif Kabunsuan’s status as a province was nullified by the Supreme Court just the other day. Galit ang mga tao ni Digs Dilangalen, baka mag-ingay ng tuluyan tungkol sa pandaraya nila nung 2004 at para kay Zubiri nung 2007. Paano ngayon iyan, balik na sa Maguindanao ang Sharif, maglalaban na sila Digs at mga Ampatuan? Maghahati sila ng boto, lulusot ang oposisyon diyan.

    Kunsabagay hindi mahirap tapalan ng kwarta yang kadaldalan ni Digs. Yung pananahimik niya laban kay Pandack, isang bagong probinsiya ang kapalit, kaso di lumusot sa Supreme Court, e.

O, di ba dole outs ang paghikayat sa kanila pero bagsak pa rin sa sector ng masa ni Erap ang rating ng bruha.

  52. OK din iyong suggestion ni Eggplant. Sabayan ng noise barrage. it reminds me of what we did in 1966. Papaalis na kami noon nang mag-eleksyon and everyone was shouting “Alis Diyan!” pag dumadaan iyong campaign van ni Dadong. Effective! Nanalo si Marcos!!!

    This time, noise barrage with the clear message, “Gloria, Alis Diyan! Dagdag pa, Baba Na!” Tapos patay ang koryente to show disgust over the Dorobo’s SONA. Ang saya siguro. Meralco may just as well cut off the electric supply for the duration of the idiot’s speech para siguradong walang magsisindi ng ilaw, TV, radio, etc.

    OK ngarud!!!

  53. Ang pangit talaga ng litrato ni Dorobo sa Malaya. Iyan ang natural na mukha niya sa totoo lang. Kundi pa retokihin ni Bello, lalo na!

Hindi talaga matalban nang mura iyang magnanakaw at sinugaling na bruha. The problem also is the Islands are so far apart. The people can not congregate to voice their dislike for the bruha. Bakit nag rug-head iyan si bruha sa litrato. Kunyari Moslim siya. Kong ano anong guinagawa para makaloko.

    Sana maging successful ang walang tv radio or any applliance turned on during sona. I think it is a good idea and has a good chance to succeed. Mas maganda nga kung sa gabi ang sona, patay lahat ng ilaw, wow. I agree, international attention is important. Goodluck pinoys.

  62. chi,
    Naalala ko, sa interview ni Digs sa radyo, sabi niya, “Bakit, akala ba ninyo, may botohang nangyari sa Maguindanao? (2004 yun) Tanong ni Anthony Taberna, “Di po ba nanalo ang misis ninyo bilang Congresswoman, nanalo ba siya ng walang botohan?” Pinindot ni Dliangalen yung telepono at di na uli makontak. Hahaha!

    bitchevil,
    nakita mo ba yung mga bisita ni Pacquiao sa victory party niya? Sina Madam Imelda Marcos na pinagmanuhan pa ni Pacman, si Vivian Velez na may asim pa rin (sa singit), mga gambling lords na sina Chavit at Atong Ang, yung syota niyang si meyor Atienza, si Annabel Rama na rumaraket ng mga alahas sa asawa, mga starlets na nagmumura ang mga suso, mga models na nagbabakasakaling mabalatuhan o maanakan, at marami pang taga-showbiz at politika.

    Tignan mo nga naman ang buhay ng tao ‘no. Dati, naghihiraman pa sila ng sapatos ng ibang boxer pag may laban. Pagkatapos, sumasakay lang ng jeep papuntang Baclaran pagkatapos ng laban sa Elorde. Ngayon endorser na ng Nike tapos naka Porsche Cayenne pa. At lahat ng nabubuhay sa amoy ng kwarta nakadikit sa kanya!

    Totoo ba iyan. So, ano iyong inaarte ni Gloria Dorobo na pinapagalitan kuno ang mga oil companies for the pumping up prices of oil daw. Arte lang pala! ‘Lol talaga!

  64. Tongue,

    Pag may laban nga si Pacman, nakadikit iyong mga warlords ng Cebu, etc. kasama iyong mga kabit sa totoo lang. Bayad niya lahat pati board and lodging nila. Nakakaawa din pero ang mokong siguradong-sigurado na sa sarili niya. Hindi daw siya magugutom ever again. Sa kit na lang daw niya sa San Miguel Corporation, buhay na raw ang pamilya niya kasama na iyong nanay niyang lumalabas na rin sa TV na naka-gown, daig pa si Kris Aquino. Sabi nga ng nanay ko, para daw si Pacquiao na nakadamit babae! 😛

    No matter how expensive the clothes Pacman, his mother wear, they still look low class. It would be nice to see the two with the Evil Bitch.

  66. BD,

    Low class, high class, wala naman niyan sa Pilipinas sa totoo lang. Pare-pareho lang namang nagpre-pretend, and trying hard to look bigshot! iba talaga ang society kapag may tunay na mga dugong bughaw sabi nga.

    Look at Gloria Dorobo. Kahit anong gawin ng ungas, dugong aso pa rin! Trying hard to look royalty pero bakya pa rin ang dating!

    Pero tama ka, kahit anong gawin ni Fuck-ayao, sabi nga wala nang pag-asang mabago pa ang itsura niya. Lakas nga ng loob na i-publicize ang sarili niyang kabit niya si Armina ba iyon?! Susmaryosep!

    This is a good argument on Population Control:

    “There is no question that the larger one’s family or household is, the larger one’s daily expense for food, fuel and whatever else. Do we need population control?

    There is no question that the poorer one is, the larger his family tends to be. There is also no question that Catholics make up only 80 percent of our population and that, of the 80 percent, only some 80 percent (or 60 percent or less of the total population) are practicing Catholics in that they go to mass regularly. Even among those who hear mass on a regular basis, how many actually agree with or follow what the bishops tell them? So, why do we force 100 percent of our population to live as the Catholic Church wants them to live? Is this fair?”

  68. I doubt kung 80% Catholics pa rin ang mga pilipino. Marami na ngang sumali sa iba’t ibang religion at kulto sa totoo lang. Ang dami na ring naging Moslem para makaasawa ng apat!

    Dapat isama iyan sa mga census sa totoo lang. Kaya nga konti na lang ang collection ng mga simbahan at dahilan kung bakit mabait iyong mga atsoybispo sa benefactor nilang magnanakaw! 😛

    The truth is, how many practicing Catholics are there out of the 80%? And who are the first to violate the church’s teachings like annulment (divorce), prostitution, adultery, abortion, etc.? A bunch of hypocrites!

    If Ermita can’t accept the results of the survey, I suggest he should file an appeal to the Supreme Court whose majority of its members are appointees of the mad woman and have the results be reversed.

    At the same time commission the Comelec to do a recount of the result. With their magic and expertise in counting they will be able to prove the survey figures wrong and theirs are correct. Then GMA will be in cloud nine again.

    “When you have a leader who is totally insensitive and refuses to accept realities, then you have a problem.” Dr. Mahathir Mohammad, former PM of Malaysia.

  72. On the question of population control, I still believe that education is the key. If we legalize abortion, promote contraceptives, or even impose an uncompromising one-child-policy (kill the extra child), its never going to work especially in a setting such as ours.
    I for one do not believe that poverty, unemployment, or lack of opportunities can be solved by a state or church imposed population control, just take a look at the excesses of the wealthy. Ours is a perfect example of unequal distribution of wealth, those who do not have any go hungry, those who have-have too much, we are receiving reports that 60 to 80% of the waste coming from our cities are food! Simply saying that the poor are ignorant and know only how to make babies is a reflection of our selfishness, and for some a rationalization for their stinginess and greed.
    We have a robust population yes, but we can look at it another way, we have a big pool of human resource, when properly educated, trained, equipped with the right skills, this excess resource can be OFWs bringing in the dollars, skills, and technological expertise back to the fatherland.
    A fast growing population is not the main issue here, as the government would like us to believe, but a failure to govern…worst…greed and indifference…

    If I may add my anim na sampera comment as an O
    FW who have seen the diffrence between the Phil and other countries I’been to, “panghihinayang” is the word. Una, napakayaman ng ating bansa sa natural resources. Sa amin nga sa Batangas kahit anong itanim mo tutubo at tutubo. Dito sa America ang daming barren lands and yet progressive ang agriculture nila.Isa pa bakit ba nanalasa ang mga corrupt sa ating bansa lalo ng ang mga government officials, kasi nga sa halip na sila ay i-ostracized ay parang hinahangaan pa ng marami nating kababayan. Nakapangingilabot isipin na isang ordinaryong empleyado ng BOC, BIR o Immigration ay nakatira sa eklusibong subdivision para sa mayayaman at magagarang sasakyan, sa halip na kamuhian ay kinaiingitan. Kung sino ang nagpapatupad ng batas siya ang pangunahing sumusuway dito, may nabalitaan na ba kayong pulis na nabigyan ng citation for traffic violation, o mga pulitiko at matatas na taong may ganon ding pgkakamali? Kung hindi magbabago ang ganitong kultura nating mga Pinoy, malamang lahat tayo ay magmamartsa sa sinabi nilang road to perdition.
