The present system has to be changed from presidential to that of parliamentary/federal form of government.


Look what the present system has done to our country and people. It only enriched those who are in power but impoverished the rest of us. Corruption continues without letup, and government services remain to be desired. Why stick to the present system?

Now we are sad by what her allies in Congress did, depriving her of that opportunity to prove her innocence. The issue remains unresolved and the accusations are left hanging. This is bad for the country.


To me, the killing of the impeachment charges did more harm than good to President Arroyo.

As we all know, we've earned the title as one of the most corrupt in the world. "Now," she said without throwing the blame on anybody, "is the time to stop lying, cheating, and stealing for the sake of the country."


But, who's going to cast the first stone? Everybody is saying, "I'm not a liar, I'm not a cheat nor a thief." On the other hand, standbys in the streets would ask: "Kinsa ba goy dili nato bakakon, dili tikasan ug dili kawatan?" That ends the story.

Mga iresponsabli ta, waay disiplina, waay nationalism - sa ato pa, dili "bayan muna," kondili, "ako muna." Mao kini kita. Maoy hinungdan nga pakyas kitang tanan. Pakyas kita isip lungsoranon, ug pakyas ang panggobiyerno. Maoy hinungdan nga naingon kita niini karon.

                    [Summary] => In a tv interview, a prominent lady lawyer lamented on how miserable our image have been as a country and people. As we all know, we've earned the title as one of the most corrupt in the world. "Now," she said without throwing the blame on anybody, "is the time to stop lying, cheating, and stealing for the sake of the country."


But, who's going to cast the first stone? Everybody is saying, "I'm not a liar, I'm not a cheat nor a thief." On the other hand, standbys in the streets would ask: "Kinsa ba goy dili nato bakakon, dili tikasan ug dili kawatan?" That ends the story.

Mga iresponsabli ta, waay disiplina, waay nationalism - sa ato pa, dili "bayan muna," kondili, "ako muna." Mao kini kita. Maoy hinungdan nga pakyas kitang tanan. Pakyas kita isip lungsoranon, ug pakyas ang panggobiyerno. Maoy hinungdan nga naingon kita niini karon.
