Pros: Crime rate goes down.\n\nCons: If your a bad guy, you don't know who is carrying and who is not.

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.

I don't think it's bad yet but companies like Chevron have shipped accounting jobs to the Philippines to save on direct/indirect labor costs.   With a global job market, more Americans are going to need degrees to get ahead and even then it won't be a guarantee.  We could end up with a smaller middle class and a larger lower class.\n\nAdded:  \n\nCompanies have stopped showing any loyalty to their employees and they have put profit ahead of them.  It's all about what some ladder climber in a coporation can do to impress his boss to get a fat bonus or a promotion.  Americans seeling out Americans is all it is.

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?

Yea. Tons. Back in our country, the Philippines, there's a lot of cold-blooded politicians who dont care if hundreds of thousands of Filipinos are getting hungrier by the day because of poverty. As soon as they see the opportunity to steal from the pork barrel, they will do so.\n\nI dont know which kind of mutation in history brought these kinds of being.

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....

Not with this kind of people in Philippine government now. What is needed is total cleansing, otherwise it would be the same banana.

I'll take you to a neighborhood back in my country and you'll never want to know about it again.\nbut if you really need to know check out:\n www.abriendobrecha.tv and watch the news live from Honduras, it certainly will be at least one report about it,\nor just search for violence in C.A.(I don't really know why you wanna know)

It has been proven to the satisfaction of many people, but there are some that are extremely hard to convince, for a variety of reasons. These reasons are mainly faith based, in that they have faith in the government, and do not want to believe that their government could murder three thousand of its own citizens. They will all wake up in due time, probably when the country is under Martial law, with curfews imposed, and they become prisoners in their own house.\nThat's for the lucky ones of course. The less lucky will become prisoners in the 600 or so concentration camps which have been built around the country, and are already manned and waiting for their presence.

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.

philippines is right now developing.. maybe not as fast as other countries lik china or india but we are... maybe if the people stop talking about ousting the president and just continue on working for the best of our country's economy then maybe we can be in a faster pace... lets all pray there will be no more people power... its time to move on

Nope, murder sanctioned by the government and police always goes unpunished... unless it's to boost political support, in which case they get made into sacrifices for public approval.

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.

Why is your question in the immigration section? \nThe Philippines has too many people and a poor economy, but it is always growing with foreign companies coming in. There are many more very poor citizens than wealthy. The government has a bad reputation and many want the president impeached. Muslims are many in Mindanao especially with gorilla and explosive training terrorist camps. There are many Internet cafes where women lure or try to meet foreign men to ask for money, or try to marry to leave there and most do that for a better future for them an their family as well. There are many lady boys \n( transvestites) there doing the same thing. So this shows you the people there do what they can to survive. Many live in huts or shacks with no utilities and outside toilets and overcrowded. In general a very proud people that becomes more westernized every week. Water standards are poor and too few inoculations for disease, thus the outbreak of viruses is common. Chicken pox, yellow fever, bird flu is rampant in some areas now.
