Looks like the unit commander of the elite Rangers was planning a coup of President Arroyo.  According to news report here in the USA, the rumors have been spreading of a coup for the last few weeks.  Arroyo has declared a state of emergency to lockdown all the military forces in the barracks.  It gives me flashback of Marcos declaring martial law before he was overthrown by the people.

I think you had two thoughts ram into each other.  As a Filipina, growing up a better life meant getting a good job, going to school, and eventually having a family.  How is that bad?  We believe that you get what you give.  We help others because we are told that it will ultimately get rewarded by someone doing the same for us.  How is that bad?  Here's an identity for you.  Before you talk about Filipinos and pretend to know Filipinos, live like one.  Grow up as we have.  Until then, don't talk because you think you know, but you really don't.

I disagree that the country is reaching its dead end. Phillipines is a developing country. The people (I mean fillipino) are very good people and they are dedicated to the work. I know one friend who is a teacher in a school. She is very dedicated to the job. She is satisfied with the economic as well as political circumstances. You should know that no country can become rich overnights. You have to wait  and see the result of investment made in the country by the Govt as well as by private sector. Please be patient and have faith in the natural outcome of your country.

Well.they are handling it a lot better than the 2002 riots.The government obviously could not afford to just linger around.I don't think you should worry about it,it will die out in a few days.

i'd do whatever it takes to save my friends.  In my eyes, the government laws are a bunch of crap.  i live by my own moral laws, which differ from the government.

Philippines\nThe peso-dollar value is going up...Yay for us! But our president is still under the pressure of rallyists who want her to resign 'cause they say she cheated in the elections and she's doing a sucky job of running our country.\n\nTry searching for the "Hello Garcy" scandal.

Well i don't know much about the Philippines, but judging from what i heard in the news, i believe the Muslims in the South deserve thier independence from the Corrupt government in the North currently led by that lady, what's her name? yeah! Aroyo. I've read reports of severe over-tazation of the Muslims in the South and also that even though they are highly taxed, inadequate services are provided to them, this all sounds like clear-cut corruption to me.\n\nThe Muslims throughout the world are subjected to terrorism from Christian or non-Islamic powers and they're all taking advantage of what is known as "Islamic Terrorism" to batter down and terrorise innocent Muslims, especialy in the Phillipines. God be with those Phillipino villagers in the South. \n\nPeace.

Before you do anything, check out the local filipino community and see if they can help with advice.\n\nIf you want to go there, do your homework on where you're going. If, for example you intend to settle in Palawan or Mindoro the chances are you'll get kidnapped unless you have bodyguards. Manila is OK but again, areas are dangerous expecially at night. Best option is somewhere like Baggio, Tagatay, Quezon City or Angeles City. you can live very well there on a monthly income of £400, as long as your accomodation is paid for, i.e you own a decent house. Remember the PI is a developing country so theres no constant electricity, Water is pulled up from a deep well and utilities are unreliable.\nEnglish is very widely spoken in PI, mostly at basic level but certainly enough so you don't have to learn Tagalog. The traffic, corruption and way of life suits some, but not all. Best advice is to go there a few times yourself, bring her here on a tourist Visa a couple of times (you need to provide funds in her A/C for that) and go from there.\n\nMake sure you have all the Visa regs sorted out, an overstay makes her persona non grata. for you ging there , there are visa rules but there are ways around it through corruption.\n\nIf she comes here and improves her English then she can qualify for a work permit after 2 years (I think) and find gainful employment. Local filipino communities are very helpful and easy to find, pin a notice up in your local hospital where there are probably numerous Filipino nurses, or simply ask someone.\n\nAlso, if you bring her here she will want to call home all the time (boredom, homesickness) so get a load of cheap international phonecards. \nGood luck

TO ALL THOSE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT FILIPINO POLICIES:\n\nI never see answers to these questions. You are more likely to get an answer if you post a link to the policies you are questioning. As most Yahoo! Answers members do not reside in the Philippines, we have no idea what you are talking about. A link would allow us to at least look at it.
