Oh heck no if that was to happen it would be the ghetto of the USA. I read in an artitical a few week back where Vincente Fox of Mexico was talking to some people of Columbia saying that the Mexicans were going to over rule our government. Don't know how true the source really was but as daddy says talk is cheap.

according to the philippine constitution, there is a separation of the church and the state...\nhowever since the philippines is 95% catholic... the church defenitely have a say in key poltical issues becoz the people listen and politicians themselves are catholic...

This has been going on in Mexico for the past 150 years.  In this case they claim several things the main being that they are not happy with the results of the last election.  Was it really fixed,...duh  this is Mexico!.     The violence is much greater closer to the U.S. border but the instigators are admittedly different, Oaxaca involves more professionals (ie teachers).  There is very little respect for law in Mexico.  hmmm, seems to be a little of that slipping up north from there too.

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.

Thats true...but not all puertorican mister, I'm a educated and want to see my country clean and sweep, but don't include all the puertoricans in your question.  All the trash and bad concept are being brought from states.  Go to the getto and look by yourself.  No generalizes, papa.  Y si eres boricua, no lo escondas.

How about the fact that the Philippines is a democracy? How about the fact that the Philippine people are free? Communist countries like China implement policies on how many children you can have. It is none of the government's business.\n\nClear enough for ya?

No. The process is like an electoral equivalent of the Bataan Death March already. I don't think could stand drawing it out even further.

Yes, it is a damn shame that that bozo got elected. It does not look well for those of us opposed to amnesty for illegals. But we can't give up. Just because it worked in Utah, with the large community of Mormans, who say they are christian, but keep harems, does not mean that the trickery and money will work in every state.\nIf the stupid democrats would pledge to get tough on the illegals, pledge to strengthen the borders, and start supporting our military, they could win this year and in 08. But alas, they are far too busy criticizing everyone else and can't formulate a cohesive strategy. That only leaves the libertarians. and where do they stand on the illegal immigrants debate?

I do.  I hope Lopez Obrador wins. \n\nOaxaca, where teachers have camped in a tent city during a yearlong campaign for pay increases. The armed forces recently tried to dislodge the protestors, using gas from helicopters, and the resistance broadened to 70,000 in the colonial town square. Talks through a federal mediator have broken down and the standoff continues. Lopez Obrador supports the teachers. \n\nI pray he wins!

The Philippines has been on a political struggle for a long time, almost everybody from different political groups wants to be the ruling party, so the result is....what we have now in the philippines,slow economic growth,poverty and all sorts. Under PD1017, political crisis might be resolve,no rallies and demos,no armed struggle or be arrested, i think this is what my country needs now a harder implementation of rules so as to tame down these politicians with vested interest.

Very perceptive grasshopper.  It is ridiculous, I think that Politics makes me nuts.  It goes all the way down to local government.  It is almost as soon as they get into office they forget about all the people and only care for the few. I hate to get started, you never know who's tapping into your conversations anymore: in the name of security we lose our voice.  You gotta say they have some slick moves.

I'll try to be responsive, rather than attack or defend any particular leader.\n\nOften, elected officials will feel obligated to remain in office through good times and through bad times.  Whether the majority of people in a country still "like" the leader is just considered one of the trials of office, since ups or downs happen.  I've linked an article of Arroyo's recent diplomacy talks, which suggest that Arroyo is still respected in the international community.  When she was criticized internationally for declaring a state of emergency, she lifted that proclamation.  She has responded to both national and international pressure, in some circumstances.\n\nResignation is usually reserved for only extreme instances of misconduct or criminal investigation.  Simply having people dislike the leader is considered common.  The Filipino community will have a chance to vote later and make a choice for a new leader.

For starters, the government should enforce law and order---and crush any disorder that disrupts civic life. The muslims in the south islands are acting like criminals, and no one is standing up to them. Most Filipinos, like other law-abiding people, want to live normally, take care of their families etc. I say not just muslims, any group that fans violence should be crushed.\n\nSecond problem is corruption. Unfortunately, Phillipines is like other 3rd-world countries in that respect. A real reform-minded parliament and executive branch would do wonders for the economy. Did you know that more than 30% of taxes are not collected?\n\nThese are just a couple of things they can do. But, it starts out with the voters. Phillipines (thank God) is still a democracy and voters have to live with the government they choose--so far they have not chosen well.
