    January 9th, 2009 at 03:44:45 if we would just make the effort to hold back knee-jerk responses and took a good look at the reasons people are disempowered, (talk to these "squatters" perhaps) and if we would just for once STOP BEING SMUG, then there's a good chance we'd get several steps closer to solving inequality in this country.

    January 9th, 2009 at 04:07:44 The Alliance of Christians and Muslims in Mindanao STRONGLY SUPPORT THE BANGSAMORO JURIDICAL ENTITY (BJE). The enactment of appropriate legislation or amendment of the Constitution itself as well as the holding of a plebiscite is the key to the solution of the Mindanao Problem! The SC ruling, it only shows that the high court does not want a peaceful solution to the Mindanao. Give PEACE a chance to Mindanao!!!

    January 9th, 2009 at 04:53:42 what we need right now is a good and honest general who has the BALLS to stand up and fight for a government of national rehabilitation and moral revolution.our present society is so sick,with so much wrong doing from the people who ran the government.we need a coup'de etat,followed by a millitary junta,a new government that follows the commnunism ideology .

    January 9th, 2009 at 05:39:40 The way thing are going now the Philippines will always be in the same position like the Marcos regime! If I were a rich woman,I would help get these poor people out of the Philippines and into the safety of the good old United States Of America! Go Barack 2008!
  10. ALBERGA Says:
    January 9th, 2009 at 06:02:39 This type of scene hurts so much. I hate the government of the Philippines for doing this to the less fortunate! Gloria Arroyo is just as corrupt as Marcos and his wife,Imelda.

    January 9th, 2009 at 06:25:38 Zubiri cannot answer Teymoor's question...well definitely he will prioritize the interest of his family / clan than the interests of the people.

    January 9th, 2009 at 06:48:37 Democracy enables Plutocracy.
  13. AWINITA Says:
    January 9th, 2009 at 07:11:36 Democracy is a weaker version of Communism. Philippines has a lot of aspects of Communism/Socialism.

    January 9th, 2009 at 07:34:35 IT MAY HAVE BEEN a squat, but did anyone see the television on in the back ground? Haha. I have been to TREE HOUSES in the far depths of Southern MINDANAO where they don't have food or clothes, and they are are sitting round the TELEVISION clutching their CELL PHONES in their hands.

    January 9th, 2009 at 07:57:34 i cannot think of anything else how can phil. progress.Philippines has the most intelligent and hardworking pipol,the land is fertile, the weather is gorgeous and majority of the pipol are English speaking (advantage in dealing with foreign investors ,and to be employed abroad)Sad to say - maybe philippines would be better to be a Commmunist rather than a Democratic.
  16. Nulty Says:
    January 9th, 2009 at 08:20:33 Anak1, you are missing the point, this isn't about economic equality per se but the far more fundamental political matter of democratic equality. If political power is to be determined purely by family relations and access to money, this merely freezes social mobility rendering Philippino politics as a democratic facade, underpinned by a dynastical, almost feudal authoritarianism.

    January 9th, 2009 at 08:43:32 no there the new world order.

    January 9th, 2009 at 09:06:31 Who is this senator kidding? The Bush, Clinton, Kennedy, Roosevelt, Dulles family dynasties are no positive comparison, in fact, he comparing dynastic politics in the Philipinnes with the most corrupt, nepotic families in the world if he cares to use the Bush's as some kind of parallel to dynastic politics in the Philipinnes. And America is not a 'true' democracy as he calls it, it is a plutocracy, a model for democratic dystopia. Look to Iceland, Switzerland and Sweeden for a positive model!
  19. Heathleah Says:
    January 9th, 2009 at 09:29:30 This attitude of "make them pity us so we can live off their charity" teaches their children only to do the same. The change must come from themselves! The majority of Filipinos who arent rich maintain honest jobs at home or abroad and strive to build a future for their children! It is these people who are slowly but surely moving up the economic ladder. Those in the squatters on the other hand, continue to rely on others charity, which will not change their situation: NO MATTER WHO IS IN POWER!
  20. Wanetta Says:
    January 9th, 2009 at 09:52:29 The squatters excuse is always "there's nothing here, we're suffering so much, the govt is corrupt": a broken record! whenever they're relocated to suburban areas with sanitation, schools, jobs etc; they sell that land and move back to the slums again, then they send young relatives abroad as slaves so they can live well on their remittances! its as much their fault for their facade of naivety and craftiness in seeking an "easy way out" as the less-than-caring govt for their continued poverty!
