That's because it's all hidden, hence, no evidence. I think I better huwag nang ingay, for fear of Mystica ipadala ang firing squad.
Blimey! In the current environment we Brits can't really poke fun at 3rd World Politics. However, until Nadine Dorries petitions for Heathrow to be renamed Boris Johnson International, this looks to be indicative of some of the batshit crazy ideas that will happen for the rest of the decade! https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/top...4uOhelVpQQzzU5UVpKVhSl3wWqRFWSquaqEuvXP0X46KE
I mean their sheer brazen use of the word "execution" in the phrase "idea and execution of the said noble project" is appalling, yeah it's an unsolved crime but come on.. But yeah the sycophants have started the whitewashing, in a few years the People Power EDSA revolution will have become, in history, a well known criminally organised illegal movement to depose a benevolent democratic president, such are the times we live in now.
It's already known as that, there are several websites with that title if I remember correctly, this is one. Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) - Civil Aeronautics Board :: Philippines (cab.gov.ph)
Damn, I started what became a great thread. Shame I missed the banter regarding BBM winning and lack of rights to have an opinion lol. But new baby is keeping me busy. I do agree that having Leni as VP didn't help DU30. To me it doesn't make sense to have polar opposite political agendas in government, it just causes conflict and nothing gets done. I just hope for prosperity in the Philippines and that my fears regarding the new administration don't come true. I hope to try that humble pie!
She is also to my understanding a British Citizen. I do understand where her passion is coming from but she is missing the lessons of history and for an accountant, economics history; do a comparison of economic perfomance in the 70s to 80s and it is clear the Philippines lost out compared to its peers despite all its advantages compared to other Asian economies of that era. Marcos saddled the Philippines with debt which it had a hard time recovering from and I'm not talking about what he robbed from the people. And Mystica you are also British so we Brits have every reason to express our opinions of your birth country's history to you, yes our opinions, interpretations, but remember that almost all of us here have a personal investment in the Philippines too.
You're right, Jim, except we all know that, sometimes, Filipinos do tell their other halves (and anyone else for that matter) to keep our noses out . Being a Filipino is something they are very proud of, and rightly so, just as we Brits feel about our own country of birth
Pinoy pride is an indoctrination like religion,I asked what's to be proud of in the Philippines and was told family?
No! I didn’t missed any economics history! What I know and remember is that when I was a kid, there’s no such huge crimes in my country during Marcos time. I used to walk alone to school for an hour and back and never once felt in danger. And never once encounter any threats. There’s no huge drug addictions, no huge child rapes in the news because of drug addicts, people fear to commit crime because of death penalties, there’s bagansya for under age if they are out in the the street late at night for their own safety. And many more. When Marcos left, the country is in a total mess. That is what I remembered during my youth. Reason I’ve decided to change my path and left Philippines, as I no longer feel safe in my own home country. Just to get this straight, Filipinoes do respect foreigns opinions to their own country but having investments doesn’t gives you rights to any conculusions with the locals and whom they want to be in the positions. It doesn’t mean I am now a British citizen that I stopped caring about my homeland. One thing I cannot forget during my studies in secondary is the lecture of El Filibusterismo (The Reign of greed) when Jose Rizal said “Ang hindi lumingon sa pinang galingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan” meaning “Those who do not know how to look back for where they come from, will never reached their destinations.” So although I am now British doesn’t mean I stopped caring about my homeland.
Saying "Personal Investment" meant personal "human" investment not financial investment, we invest our time and our lives in a country far far away, in my case in two young children and in an extended family. I am only a little older than you, I grew up in the 1960s I could make the same kind of statements about my childhood in Scotland and about the quality of my life, I could and do blame Thatcher and the Tories in the late 1970s and early 1980s for making everything here much worse and I could blame the politics of greed introduced by those tories for much of the state of this country now, but you won't find people here agreeing with me, they think the bogieman here in UK was the labour government and the unions not the tories, like you I think I am right about my interpretation of the 1960s and 1970s in my country but hardly anyone here in this forum will agree with me. In my Philippine family Nanay and her son Ricardo are staunch Marcos supporters, they are convinced that things were better back then in the 1960s, Ricardo is the same age as me, I love Ricardo but I dare not speak about politics with him when I am in the Philippines as he is just totally convinced his life was better back then. Anyway back in the 1960s the population of the Philippines numbered 27 million by 1970 it was 35 million, yeah it was a truly different place back then.
It is indeed better during our youth time and we are proud of what life we had in our childhood! It’s about time for Marcos to come back. You will see the difference during his terms. It’s still early to say but what they are planning now sounds good already! Especially Sarah Duterte is in his team and Tulfo brothers? You bet, it’s going to be a lot of cleaning they will do. Imelda is still alive and can guide Marcos Junior as his adviser how to run the country based on his father’s way. And you are right not to argue with your brother-in-law when it comes to politics in our territory as loyalist can be that crazy defending Marcos.
There might be the odd killing by cops here and there in homage to duterte Harry, but I know of a couple of buy busts last week where the shabu purveyors were simply taken into custody, and that was in Dabaw where duterte killer cop idea was originally formulated. A doctor of all people also shot a guy 7 or 8 times in a bar fight in Dabaw.
