as a whole I see my country a very cultural place to be in because you discover many things from just visiting one place.Sadly our country has been divided by many groups who cannot settle on one idea to improve the country most politicians want their power just for their own self interest and not for the people. Theirs too much politics. Well at least I see a good a future under the PGMA's governance, our economy is appreciating. I see the Filipino citizens very LAZY and that one factor why the country is not improving, also another is the poor education.

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.

yes , why not ? this Philippine government made our lives so hard, we cant tell who is telling the truth and whom to believe then. Many bebefits are not given to the government employees. So we need a change , and that change shall take efect soon. impeachment is one of the solutions.

there are no states in the Philippines. Maybe that's a region or a province, whichever. And i think MM stands for metro  manila, the center of the country's civilization. It is also otherwise abbreviated as MMLA

The short and sweet: It is a fraternity/organization for the empowerment of filipinos.

First, by eliminating corruption the plagued the government! From the local to the executive level, corruption is so rampant! If only these so called politicians have conscience, I'm sure poverty would not be a huge issue for any 3rd world country. \nAlso, people should change their own perspective in life. It's not because it has been made outside the Philippines, it has good quality. Too much brain drain happening that no society could survive for that matter.

The Philippines are a large archipelago of seven thousand islands near the coast of Asia. The primary commercial products are hemp, sugar cane, hemp, tobacco, coconut, rubber, gold and copper deposits. Much of its trade is done with the U.S.A. Even though the Philippines was surmounted by the Spanish, the Filipino people were still able to retain their identity. They are mostly Malay and Chinese with a small Spanish minority. To my knowledge, the Philippians's population is approximately 61,480,000 and the area is approximately 115,600 square miles. The Philippines is about 80% Catholic with a small Muslim minority. It is interesting to note that the Philippines was named after Philip of Spain.\n It is also interesting to note that in 1895 a group of Filipinos( called the Manila Men(mostly from the southern part of the Philippines) settled a little community near New Orleans, Louisiana. Using their experience of fishing in the Philippines, these men found the bayous of Louisiana similar to the bayous in the Philippines. They eventually founded one of the oldest and most popular fishing villages in Barataria Bay, Manila Village, named after the capital of the Philippines, Manila.

I have my doubts about that. Philippines dont exactly have a good reputation for having fair minded politicians and you cannot run a bank like a government. Honestly the best way to do this is to have it run by a foreign group with a beneficial goal.

politics in the philippines would never be here or there. i mean, look, different personalities, same old brouhaha... we kept changing the characters but the system remains the same. bureaucracy rules the majority and money is the key to power. however, politics is milder in the philippines than in any other country. but the "don't-care" attitude of it's people lives on. tourists come and go but they almost have one thing to say, the tariff to invest is too much, what with all the bureaucrats dogging you behind, asking stiffer prices than it should be. politicians loves to show their wares (especially during the election). but once in, they tend to move away from the people, unless a lucrative, profitable opportunity steps in wherein they could say, they've given their pork barrel for a cost (but in truth, only one-fouurth of the estimated cost was payed).... so what can i say, THAT PHILIPPINE POLITICS ARE GOING TO THE DOGS WITH THE BEST SNIFFING ONE TAKING THE BACON FOR HIMSELF....

I chose number 1 because it illustrates federalism - power is divided between federal and state government. \n\nFurther explanation: Federal government has specific powers, and state governments have their own powers.\n\n#2 is an example of separation of powers.\n#3 is an example of powers delegated only for the House of Representatives.

This usually relates to a fundamental change in the way a country is governed to federalism- for example the Phillipines recently proposed Charter Change.\n\nAs far back as the colonization of Spain, the country has been governed from Manila, the nation's capital. In the current debate for Charter Change, proponents of federalism believe that it is the answer to the age-old problems of inequitable distribution of wealth, slow pace of development in the country side, and the peace and order situation in Mindanao.\n\nThe country has enacted legislation that would bring the government closer to the people through administrative deconcentration and political devolution, most importantly the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991. Despite the success of local governments in the implementation of the LGC, much is still to be desired in the decentralization of governance in the country.

if you are talking about spanisch colonization i van help you.........Philippines was colonizes by Spain. what does spain wants to Philippines is the 3G(gold, God and glory). they want money, glory (fame) and spread the catholicism in us. the spain can get the glory and money by introducing the Catholic religion to us. why religion? they are scarying us that God will punish us if we dont do the right thing and the right thing is to follow what the spain government will tell us!

The Philippines was a colony of Spain. It had a governor-general who answered to the King of Spain. Mostly the communities were centered around 2 main buildings (the church and the city hall). this shows that the church had a great deal of power in running political and government affairs.

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.

Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle merite.\n\n"Every nation has the government that it deserves."\n\n(Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821), in a letter on the subject of Russia (Lettres et Opuscules Inedits)[15 Aug. 1811])\n\nThere are many countries with a fraction of the natural beauty and human resources of the Philippines that have a far better standard of living.\n\nThe people vote for the government, they tolerate the wholesale corruption in society .. who else is to blame??
