Anneli R. Lontoc is the Assistant Secretary and in charge of the Land Transportation Office of the Phillipines. \n\nSee the organizational chart at\nhttp://www.lto.gov.ph/orgchart.html\n\nAs I understand information on the website at\nhttp://www.lto.gov.ph/index.html there no longer\nis a Bureau of Land.  It was abolished and eventually absorbed by the Land Transportation Office.\n\nIf Land Transportation Office isn't the correct office you're interested in, you might look at http://www.abakada.com.ph/phil_link.htm\nwhich lists all Phillipine Government Departments, Bureaus, and Agencies.

Her family has had a hand in it if you believe the Jose Pidal (aka First Gentleman Jose Arroyo) scandals. But mastermind, that is giving her way too much credit.\n\nIt isnt just her. The whole corruption of Filipino Politicians began way before her or even her predecessor Joseph Estrada. It permeates through all levels of politics, and even the meddling clergy and the media here are starting to become like them.

She's trying to enter America LEGALLY.  She can always reschedule.  It's not the Philipinos that are the problem, though.  The do speak our language as well as Tagalog and other Dialects, and are highly intelligent.  If she's a Nurse, she can get a Visa with no problem.  As you know we are low on Medical Personnel.

Magandang Gabi from Curaçao!\nThere are 7 Filipinos working for me here on board my ship (I'm an American)...they are all hard-working, smart guys...I've visited the Philippines several times, many years ago...always had a very good time there...just wish that some day the Philippines will be free of all the corruption that represses it...then Filipinos (and Filipinas) will become truly prosperous.

a tropical country with many beautiful beaches, diving spots, historical landmarks, and other natural beauties..defenitely a good place to visit (except of course in the war torn areas in the southmost part of mindanao.)\nit has talented people (who speaks wonderfull english) with cheap labor cost that would be an attraction to a lot of foreign investors...however it has been tainted by the world as a country with poor political stability because of whats been going on (edsa 1,2,and the curren crisis of GMA), but what the international media doesnt see is that these crisis are only in metro manila (who by the way didnt like her from the start)...if you go to other places for investment like CEBU, CLARK, SUBIC and other major non-metro manila cities, all is peacefull and quite...so i hope the bad perception will be changed...

i think it is the masses. so that if they are already educated and became intellectuals, they would go abroad to work, so that they could send money to their families back home and be called "new heroes". new heroes because the dollars they sent helps the economy.but the politicians go abroad spending government money or should i say, peoples' money? why do some doctors in the philippines study or take up nursing courses so that they could go abroad?\ni think it's disappointment.

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

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

Hello dear!\nWell, people and their societies are dynamic bodies, which means there is always strive for improvement, thus, there will always be crisis in every society, especially large states as the Philippines! Further, countries with lower income and pressed political rights are expected to try harder for changes, which increases political crises. Thus, I foresee that the Philippines will continue having the crises for a long time; what I wish is that Philippinos will enjoy more and have more rights achieving higher living standards.

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s proclamation 1017 declared a state of nation emergency. She is president of the philipines.\n\nIt is constitutional, but its more a less a declaration of martial law without calling it that. Its still within her rights to declare a state of emergency\n\nFull text of proclamation 1017 and peoples comments: http://www.pcij.org/blog/?p=629
