kung Cebu lang, okay ra ko.

[rage963]

No statehood please. It's embarrassing.

state of VERMONT, CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS use to be a different country...

look how progressive those states right now!!!!

do you think they are embarrass to be part of U.S.A.??

think again...

[anachronox]

do you think na maka ayo sa atong nasod ang magpaubos kita sa mando sa "Land of the Free, Home of the Braves"? Cguro sa una during the American colonization here in the Phils. It may serves us better. But then try to remember, if wala pa nag buhis sa ilang mga kinabui ang mga bayani nato, maka tilaw ka ha ka sa natagmtaman nimo karon Mental Slave? Kung sa tanaw nimo ang kalisod nato diri sa pinas masolusyunan kung mag pa sakop kita ug balik sa mga Kano, sayop ka Mental Slave.

Ang solusyon anaa ra sa atong mga kamot, naa natong tagsa-tagsa ka mga FILIPINO. Paningkamot nga dili ka magantos sa kalisod diri sa pinas. if i know Mental Slave, happy cguro ka when Donaire and Viloria wins during their fight. Cguro grabe nimong naka ampo ug naka abiba sa matag takna nga ang mga kinumo sa mga Pinoy mitugpa sa mga dagway sa mga kalaban. i know Mental Slave nga gikulbaan sad ka sa sunod away ni Pacman.

I know nga you still have the heart and the blood of a PINOY, you just dont believe in your self. nagpada ra ka sa grabeng bul-og sa baha. I accept too, Mental Slave that i used to think of it nga mayta ma under ta sa america ug mahimong usa ka STATES kay sayon na lang ang pag trabaho didto di na ta manginahanglan pa ug visa, and we can also benifits the sweetness that they savour as of the moment.

Ay lang pada sa tama parts.

VIVA LAS ISLAS PILIPINAS!!!!

[angSUGO]

i go for statehood. i hate to say na hopeless case na ang pilipino. i don't think it's because of the easy access to better opportunities. rather, it's for us to adapt, and change our ways. politics in out nation alone stinks! ingon gani sila, makasasala na ang moapil apil sa politics karon.

you don't have to lose our OWN cultural heritage to be part of US. each state has it's own distinct culture. we just need someone to instill discipline amongst us.

[chad_tukes]

mao nay naka daot natong mga pinoy. gi dread gyud ang thought nga magpa SLAVE sa AMERICA.

are you guys out of your minds?

di mana magpa SLAVE mga igsuon--paila lang mo sa inyong pagka ignorante. sakto si angSUGO, just because we become a part of the US doesn't mean we lose our own identity. we are still Filipinos, nothing more nothing less, except that our country would be owned and controlled by another country which by the way, is the world's lone superpower.

cge lang mog yawyaw "paningkamot nga dili ka magantos sa kalisod diri sa pinas." "ang solusyon naa ra sa atong kamot" blah blah blah... ALL TALK, NO ACTIONS. kanus-a paman intawn na mahitabo mga igsuon? cge yawyaw, walay buhat. sa pagka ngan lang nga galisud ang Pilipinas, naa pa kahay pag-asa?

i'd rather see progress NOW. what are we gonna do? sit idle and keep yapping our mouths out? sige reklamo nga mao ni mao na, unya come election time, mahibong lang ta nga ang mga politiko ipang botar mga ARTISTA, KURAKOT, TRAPO.

[joshua259]

wala man gud na sila naka suway sa US government system. ignorante gud kadaghanan ang wala naka trabaho sa US og wala naka puyo. mag sige ta og hope sa Philippine government system nga hope nalang kutob.

let us change our government system, not change who we are. we can still be Filipinos but under the US government system. wala gud mo kahibaw sa onsay mga benefits gipang hatag sa US government.

for example mo bayad mo og tax. sa Philippinas dili ka ma ulian sa imong kwarta sa tax sa US ma ulian ka og kwarta sa imong tax.

[wng]

Murag ang other question is kung dawaton ba ang Philippines to be a state of the US? Murag dili man mosugot ang mga Americans. For one, daghan kaayo ta diri. Almost 1/3 of the population of the US, and 2.5 to 3.5x population compared to California or Texas. Kadaghan nato ug electoral votes ani inig elections sa US, and 1/3 of the US House of Representatives, ma Filipino na! Plus pa gyud kung no travel restrictions to the US, magbaha ug cheap labor didto. Maggubot kay millions gyud mo migrate.

ARE YOU INSANE? You're going to send our beloved beautiful Filipina to Kuwait just for fun and stress reliever to the DAMN American BASTARDS. Why don't you ask the Americans to send their beautiful pussy for us to have fun.

The philippines is among the many poverty torn nations that support America’s Iraqi liberation. Prez. Arroyo wants to help out further by offering air space and refueling stops for american war planes. i propose we go one step further. i suggest we send more young filipinas to kuwait to 'service' the young American soldiers fighting the war. this will help our American allies relieve their stress in the time of war, plus we can use this Philippines 'military aid' as an advertisement to the US to return to our islands. they use to love our islands because of the girlie bars in Subic and Clark. but sadly, the non-appreciative leftists drove our friends away. We owe the americans this 'military aid' and we need them to come back. we are only simple filipinos and we cannot run our country. we are not as smart as the Americans. so, i say let's please our American allies by sending them our best resource--the Filipina. i fondly remember when Americans called our women, 'little brown f*cking machines'. and I was their faithful 'little brown brother'. i hope the iraqis will just put down their weapons and stop resisting. the americans will liberate them. if they have to kill every single iraqi to liberate them, they will succeed. the Americans are a smart and determined people. unlike us stupid filipinos. Just like when they liberated vietnam 30 yrs ago. And our country a century ago. They killed thousands of filipinos, but it was for our liberation. For our own good. They also liberated us from the japanese. I feel such a huge debt of gratitude. when they ‘experience’ our young women again, if we send them to kuwait, they will remember our poor islands. The americans will return and save us from ourselves. I don’t care if they take our natural resources and exploit us for cheap labor. The americans have always cared for us for more than a century now. They will go to mindanao and rescue us from our worst nightmare. Then they’ll have another base to keep the muslims from ever progressing. And then we’ll be safe. With the americans in our country, we’ll be happy. And again, they will call me ‘little brown brother’. And they will call my sisters, ‘little brown f*cking machines’. The proud filipino nationalists just don’t understand that the americans don’t really mean anything bad when they call us these names, it’s just the way they say they love us filipinos. So, as soon as the Iraqis stop resisting their own liberation, I hope prez. Arroyo will invite our american friends back to our country. So, they may have fun again. And we will serve them and make them happy. Godbless America!!!
