that's one messed up place for sure...if a truly democratic govt. took over they'd probly want the USA out anyway, so maybe that's why there is continued violence there to keep it weak and dependent on the USA.....the US is making hardened army bases all over that country that makes it look like they want to stay.

i totally agree with you. we need to help our own country first and then if their is enough left in the budget then help. i see our country in need. we don't have what we need do we??? the government needs to make or get their priorities straight.and quick. if they don't they will soon be regretting this. they need to wake up fast.the real question is will they????????? most likely they wont! people need to start complaining about this. maybe this is a start??? go for it it is a good cause.

The government has gone to far on everything. It is time to end their reign of terror and start over.

It looks as if Gloria Arroyo is not popular and that she is hanging on to power against the majority wish.  If there is a suitable successor, I feel she should step down asap.

There you go Pussycat, you answered your own question. You gotta stop doing that, you're wasting 5 points. The governement could care less about the people coming over here, it's one less thing for them to worry about! If thier government themselves werent so far gone (drug wise) perhaps they'd have a reasonalbe person over there making correct decisions! the entire governement is made up of crack heads and greedy men! Do you think they care what happens to anyone other then themselves??

Everyone hates us now, we've burned all our bridges with everyone. You figure when the person leading our country is only getting approval by 30% of the population, something is seriously wrong with the actions being made by the government.

It is completely coincidental and has nothing to do with whether the country is developed or not. Unfortunately, when their buildings aren't as well designed as they are in so-called First World nations, there are more deaths due to building collapses, etc, and they may not have the infrastructure in place to assist in rescue and medically treat the injured when these disasters happen.

Well,  maybe you have forgotten that part of Mindanao (where mostly Muslims reside) wants to become independent from the Philippines . It's a never ending story down there- a never ending war between guerillas and the military.>>> so, not united.

Because were letting our government run everything and a countries people are viewed by those who lead them. Not the people as a whole.

Because they want to live simple. Too many political parties can weaken the current governments and create the political mayhem and disasters.

Let's NOT assume there's going to be a world government, get RID of that idea...other countries need to work a lot harder at solving their own problems instead of trying to vote themselves into the United States or whatever...

Personally, I'd like to add the Philippines as a state, but I'm not in charge.  So, I'll just pray that those in charge of such big decisions make it so!
