You do have a point there, but I still think that Ninoy's enemies were the ones behind the assasination. Might not be Marcos himself, but someone who's on his side. Ninoy is a good man with an equally empowering wife and the reason why she became the first woman president in the Philippines is because after Ninoy died, she wanted to continue his fight against Marcos' government. No offense to Marcos, I mean he was good for a while, but he became a little too proud of himself. Some even say that it was his wife Imelda's fault. Oh well. Politics. Sheesh.

Verónica Michelle Bachelet [Jeria] (born September 29, 1951) is a Chilean Socialist politician and the first woman to be elected president of her country. She won the presidency in a runoff election in 2006, facing center-right billionaire businessman Sebastián Piñera, obtaining a preliminary 53.5% of the vote. She campaigned on a platform of continuing Chile's free market policies, while increasing social benefits to help reduce the country's gap between rich and poor, one of the largest in the world. Her presidency will be inaugurated on March 11, 2006.\n\nBachelet, who served as Health Minister and Defense Minister under President Ricardo Lagos, is a separated mother of three and a self-described agnostic or atheist, which sets her apart in a mainly conservative and Catholic country. She speaks Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, French, and some basic Russian.

non-Filipinos please do not type something you do not understand in our country because it will just make you look bad. Our country the Philippines is under the government of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who I have to say is better than some of the past presidents. The Problem is that the opposition always finds a way to bring down the Gloria Administration in order for then to take full control of power. Most of corrupt officials belong to the opposition and for this I hate them. The president for me is very educated and has all the knowledge to govern the country. In the other hand most of the opposition is made up of people who have not finished college or actors who does not have all the experience to govern. some of the senators are also a waste for they only stay in power yet do nothing to help the country. I hope to give more power to the charter change of the president to parliamentary system because it will do a big difference in passing laws. It will also do good because the corrupt officials will be taken away from their seat of power. Many people hate the charter change yet most of these people do not even know what charter change is, they don't even know how the parliamentary system works. the following are some factors that hinders the growth of the economy and the country:\n1. Uneducated Filipinos who wants to prove nothing.\n2. Corrupt officials who want to stay in power.\n3. poor people who are paid to rally\n4. terrorist\n5. The opposition. Is it not ironic that the oppositions that want to make a better country only destroys the country by the pointless rallies they make that affects the economy.\n\ngood thing the president is there to keep the economy from collapsing.

Filipino nurses preferred \nPosted:2:47 AM (Manila Time) | Jan. 05, 2004 \nBy Belinda Olivares-Cunanan\n\n\n \nCOMING home, I note that the various political groups, including the administration party, are having problems filling up their respective senatorial slates. It seems that at the moment all that the opposition and administration groups can fill up are six slots each, while Raul Roco's independent group is having even bigger problems. Sen. Panfilo Lacson, on the other hand, not only has a tough time getting his complete senatorial slate, but also a running mate.\n\nProspective senatorial candidates are afraid to run because of the huge expenses involved and the diminishing prospect of winning, given the myriad candidates. Surveys indicate that voters, especially in the provinces, can only fill up about six names on the ballot. But this problem of how to complete the senatorial slate of the political groups only drives home the need to return to the two-party system-less expensive and far more sensible. \n\n\n\n* * *\n\n\nAs I had predicted weeks ago, the indication is that among the senatorial candidates to be fielded by Lakas is independent reelectionist Sen. John Osmeña, who had been identified with the opposition over the past few years. With the support of the Garcias and the overwhelming number of Osmeñas on Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s side, except for former Gov. Lito Osmeña, now with Roco, and Sen. Serge Osmeña, who remains independent, the administration is assured of seizing a substantial number of the huge Cebuano vote. \n\n\n* * *\n\n\nOver the past few years the need of US hospitals for nurses has become quite acute, but since fewer Americans want to serve in this very difficult profession, US authorities were forced to source the supply of nurses from foreign shores. And among the various nationalities serving American hospitals, Filipino nurses are the favorite because of their tender loving care, their facility with the language, their generally pleasant and well-scrubbed appearance, and their cheerful and uncomplaining nature (as against that of American nurses). US hospitals also prefer foreign nurses as they are able to save on salaries-in a 40-hour week of duty the foreign nurses are paid a beginning salary of about 26 dollars an hour, versus the 35 dollars to 40 dollars an hour for US nurses. 25 dollars an hour is a lot of money for Filipino nurses who earn much less back home, but the bigger come-on is the green card that is extended to them and their families.\n\n\n* * *\n\n\nI spoke by phone with my niece-in-law, Riza Dayao Olivares, wife of my nephew Ramon Luis Baretto Olivares, about the situation of Filipino nurses in the United States. Riza, who hails from Kidapawan and is a nursing graduate of the Philippine Women's University School of Nursing, arrived in the United States a few months ago with a contract to work at the Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C. She began as a nurse in the intensive care unit, but is due to be rotated to the ICU's neuro section. Her Wharton-trained husband and 2-year-old daughter followed last November and they now rent an apartment in the university grounds. Riza noted that Filipino nurses abound in the US capital, especially in the Washington Hospital Center, which is like our Philippine General Hospital, "bagsakan ng lahat ng mga kaso." (Hospital for all cases.)\n\n\n* * *\n\n\nBut apparently there are two kinds of foreign nurses in the United States. One kind has a work contract with a specific hospital, while the other kind has no specific contract and is recruited by hospitals from placement agencies on a need basis; these casuals are referred to in the nurses' circle as the "travelers" because they move from one place of work to another. Those with a contract are paid about 26 dollars per hour, while the "travelers" are paid from 48 dollars to 50 dollars per hour. The casuals enjoy bigger sala

Lazaro Francisco, the eminent Tagalog novelist of the pre-war years, was to continue to produce significant work. He revised his Bayaning Nagpatiwakal (1932), refashioning its plot and in sum honing his work as a weapon against the policies that tended to perpetuate American economic dominance over the Philippines. The updated novel was titled Ilaw Sa Hilaga (1948)\n\nAbout the characters in the novel read this site:\nhttp://www.kabayancentral.com/book/up/mb5420931.html\nhttp://www.libros.com.ph/bookdetails.asp?bookid=9789715420938

Presidential Proclamation 1017 is the declaration of State of National Emergency. This removes the right of the people to rally. The Philippine Armed Forces also have the power over the media.\n\n    PP 1017 was declared last February 24, 2006 because of continous violence in rallies brought by some anti- Arroyo( Philippine President)opposition leaders. It took 1 week before President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was convinced to remove her proclamation.

the problems will never be solve if the people will not move on... just face the facts, arroyo is the president and whether you like her or not the economy is doing good. not as good as india, malaysia, and dont even compare to china, but at least the tourism is increasing, foreign investors are coming in, and even if you say its becoz of the OFW the dollar is lowering compare to peso. i am not a fan of her myself, but if we oust her, impeach her, or people power her.. it will need another long years to recover. during the ouster of erap, the economy is not doing good becoz perception on our conntry's political stability is bad and busnessman dont wana invest in that scenario, right now they are having their confidence back.. if we oust gloria again, i wonder if we can still recover...\n\ni hope and pray the people and opposion leaders (dont care about the leftist communist) would come together and face this facts and do whats best for us.. lets move on
