its because maybe our "actual" national pastime is "HERO-MAKING", not boxing, not basketball...hehe

i already posted a thread about this "hero-making" thingy...read nya mo ato...

how can we make a hero from a boxing champion who is not treating his wife well?

how can we make a hero from a state witness when his life is also stained w/ corruption?

we Pinoys have an elastic threshold of blind love for our idols, who better fit the mold of Erap, the lover of women and at the same time the masses, rather than Mother Teresa the living saint...hahaha

more damage to the country? meaning public money... pila ba nakawat ni ERAP og ni GMA nga public money? Kana nga punto I think si GMA... pero kung kawat lang jud... basin si ERAP.

more damage in terms of institutions nato... GMA ang grabe.

but to me it doesn't matter who created more damage... both should be punish!

nganong export ra man? dili ra man ang export maoy mag determine sa economy sa isa ka country... klaro gyud nga wala gyud ayo atong economy compare to our neighboring countries... so ayaw nalang na luwasa imong PGMA sa iyang economy record... kay kung buot hunahunaon, wala gihapon ayo atong economy... baga lang gyud ug nawong na si GMA... kay kung sa Japan pa ta... mo-resign dayon ilang prime minister kung naa lang gamay controversy... or gamay nga scandal. diri sa atoa... pabagaay ug nawong... klaro na kaayong nanikas sa eleksyon, sorry ra ang katapat... karon napud, kurakot to da max... denial queen na pud... ambot lang unsaon nalang... baga gyud ug nawong...

^ ayaw ikomparar ang mga Filipino sa mga Hapon kay maski imong ilisan ang tanang tawo sa Japan ug mga Pinoy mao ra gihapon ang resulta, corrupt gihapon kaayo, baga gihapon ug nawong. kinsa gud tawon Pinoy mo resign? kinsa gud Pinoy maghikog tungod sa kauwaw o paka-uwaw nga iyang gidala sa pangalan sa iyang pamilya?

lahi jud tang mga Pinoy, baga jud tag nawong. wa pa jud ka masuheto nato?

ang mga Hapon kay naay prinsipyo. kadugay na nimo naka obserbar sa sitwasyon sa atong nasod unya sige gihapon kag dahom nga "pareha sa Japan"... tsk tsk.. pagmata na. ayaw na sigeg damgo. bisan ug iilis nato ang lumulupyo sa pinaka-succesful nga nasod, Philippines ug Japan, kabalo na ta asa padung. ang Japan mapurdoy kung Pinoy ang modala o magdumala didto unya ang Pilipinas madato kung ang mga Hapon ang modala diri.

naa na sa tawo. naa na sa culture. naa na sa prinsipyo.

diri ra jud ta kutob. wala na tay padulngan ani maski usbon pa ang atong pang gobyerno himoong Federal kay ngano man? Pinoy man gihapon ang molingkod. kabalo na ka sa Pinoy nga maayo man kaayo mangita ug lusot. tungod ani, mo-abot jud ang panahon nga maapsan na ta sa tanan natong silingan.

kinsay makigpusta-anay?

ingon ani na jud ta. dawat na lang sa masipang pakpak kay wala na jud tay padulngan ani.

Marcos, Erap, GMA klaro kaayo ang corruption. wala pa ta kabalo nilang Ramos ug Cory pero naa gihapon silay corruption sa akong tan-aw.

kung tan-awn jud natog maayo: tanang presidente sukad pa ni Marcos kay naka-damage man sa atong nasod. mao nay naka paet, kay ang gilalisan nato "kinsa ang naka damage ug maayo"? buot pasabot silang tanan naka damage, ang level ra sa damage atong gilalisan.

pagka-ilkiki gyud natong mga Pinoy!!!

Since the end of World War II, the Philippine economy has had a very turbulent history. In the period immediately following World War II, the Philippines was one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and one of the richest countries in Asia (following Japan), and up until the 1960s looked to becoming one of Asia's major superpowers.

However, during the regime of Ferdinand Marcos, the economy declined dramatically in growth and productivity as it was destabilized by corruption as he embezzled billions of dollars from the national treasury. By the time of the People Power revolution, the economy had declined, falling severely below the growth of other nations in Southeast Asia. A severe recession in 1984-85 saw the economy shrink by more than 10%, and perceptions of political instability during the Aquino administration further dampened economic activity. During this time, capitalism became highly prevalent in the nation, as major American corporations dominated local industry alongside a few local entrepreneurs. Fidel Ramos managed to briefly stimulate the economy during his reign as President, posting one of the Philippines' highest GDP growth rates in the early 1990s, however regained little ground compared to what it lost during the Marcos regime.

In 1998, the Philippine economy deteriorated as a result of spill-over from the Asian financial crisis and poor weather conditions. Growth fell to about -0.6% in 1998 from 5.2% in 1997, but recovered to 3.4% by 1999. President Estrada tried to resist protectionist measures; and efforts to continue the reforms begun by the Ramos administration made significant progress. A major bank failure in April 2000 and the impeachment and subsequent departure of President Estrada in the beginning of 2001 led to lower growth.

The current administration under President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has been symbolized by radical and risky moves pushing towards faster and more rapid economic growth. In recent years, Arroyo's stance towards economic improvement since 2004 have seen the Philippines re-emerge as one of the growing economies in Southeast Asia. In 2004, the Philippine economy grew by 6.1%, beating most analysts and even the government's estimates. In 2005, the Philippine Peso posted an appreciation rate of 6%--the fastest in the Asian region for that year. However, the advent of high oil prices dampened the government's growth estimates for that same year as growth only amounted to 5.1%. During 2006, the economy posted a 5.4% growth, dampened by two typhoons which wreaked havoc on the agricultural sector. The government plans to bolster infrastructure spending in 2007 tenfold, and is targeting an accelerated growth of the economy by 7% in 2007, 8% in 2008, and 9% in 2009 well as improved domestic improvement. President Arroyo had visioned that by 2020 the Philippines would be a First World country.

The local stock market hit a record high in June 1, 2007 while the peso is trading at around the PHP41 level to a US dollar and is currently PHP40.50 as of January 14, 2008, making it Asia's best performing currency so far by sharply appreciating nearly 19%. [4].

On January 31, 2008, Philippine 2007 GDP grew 7.3%, the fastest in 31 years: its economy grew seasonally adjusted 1.8%, faster than expected in the 4th quarter while inflation was tamed at 2.8% amidst sharp increases in oil prices; Frederic Neumann, HSBC economist stated that: "Evidently economic momentum is very strong, therefore if we see a slowdown in economic growth, it would only materialise in the second half of the year. We therefore see a reduced need for the central bank to cut rates aggressively now and we might see that today with a 25 basis point cut."[2]
