philippines, politics



Benj, about 6 weeks? Rawr! Talk about quick Math. :p
And I criticize you. :p But I would’ve voted for Arroyo too, since it was obvious that the fight was between her and FPJ. Blah. Better her than him. I would snort at the people who voted for FPJ more than those who voted for GMA. I wonder if there will ever come a time that we don’t have to choose the “lesser” of the two evils, coz in politics, it always seems has to be the way.
But. Come to think of it. Maybe a lot of people did want to vote for Roco (or maybe even Lacson), but since they *thought* that the race would be GMA vs FPJ (was it the initials or something?) and desperately didn’t want the latter to win, they wrote down GMA instead. Just a thought.
“The Philippines doesn’t have a good party system to begin with.” Exactly. Political turncoat-ism has long been an issue in the country and is in itself already a culture; I think it should stop being so. I admit I’m really really really turned off at those balimbings, mainly because at the back of my mind, there’s this mathematical sentence that equates loyalty to credibility. (But then, never have I thought of voting for the 3 opportunists who has just jumped ships anyway)
Focus on both the issues AND the individuals, I say.
Oops, my comment got moderated? Bakit kaya? ;))
BTW, off-topic. You should have a PageRank of at least 1 kasi eh. Eh since your domain is relatively new, wala pa. Wait 2-3 months.
oh no! Spammer!
Hehe, ok, kaya pala. Thanks for the heads up.
About 6 nalang diba?
47 days. Less than 7 weeks parin. Ok na yun.
edit: I’m an idiot! March, April, May. Wahahahahahaha. For some reason, I skipped counting March all together. wahahaha
I would’ve voted for Roco. But when I heard him talk in school, he did really poorly. Trapo-talk.
he went to a medical insitution without concrete plans for health care. The best that he could come up with was I’ll make Jaime Galvez-Tan the Health Secretary and he’ll figure that out.
My dad was FPJ’s campaign manager in Batangas, by the way. hehe
Na-akismet yung first comment mo for some reason. lol.
Off-topic: nice layout (especially the background). And oh! It’s nice that you’d be going back to Sagada!
Hehe.
With the part of comparing US Campaign system with OUR campaign system, you are right. Dun kasi - it’s all about the platform of the candidate. Dito - paramihan ng poster, pakontian ng aberya’t mga isyu and the stuff.
*slaps self* May grammatical error pa ako. “3 opportunists who has just jumped ships anyway”?! Ano ba namang katangahan yun?!
Anyway, I have to say this. I always go easy on blogs I love to visit :p Your layout looks soooo messed up in the browsers I use (Firefox & IE). Ako lang ba nakakakita nito? -> http://tinyurl.com/2v8law (screenshot)
Aha, 6 weeks ha? LOL. When I heard you said “about 6 weeks” I was like, “Already?!”
Uh, yes, I’ve heard Roco talk and he has this tendency to talk like a trapo. Or maybe all politicians talk trash. I’m not very sure. But I would’ve still voted for him if I were only legal enough to vote.
Trust Akismet to catch false positive comments. Maybe he didn’t take it lightly when I mentioned that he irks me because 90% of the comments he moderates are legitimate. Oh wells.
Im using Firefox and Opera and its loading up well.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070216 Firefox/1.5.0.10
Im having issues with IE though.
edit: I just upgraded to 2.0.0.2 - no issues. I asked other people, di naman daw messed up. Sa IE 7.0 stable din daw.
Oh..Uhm…I’m using Firefox 2.0.0.2, IE 6, Opera 9.x (and a bunch of other open source and text browsers. I know, I suck and am a geek)
I now officially conclude that the problem is my 6-year-old computer. It’s been running since 30++ hourse ago and might be malfunctioning. Tsk. I’m sorry for the trouble, harhar.
podcast -matagal ko ng naririnig pero nde ko pinapakialaman.
isa lang ba itong promulgated audio stream?
anyway nde ko marining ung audio eh antagal! sobra! hehe! dialup kasi ako…
btw, sira ung layout mo saken habang nagcocomment ako. lihis ung content… sa layout.. nasa lower-left ito. nde ko lam baka browser issue lang pero naka firefox ako.
off topic: please change my link from the redirection address (arvinastig.co.nr) to the real one. (http://arvinastig.orgfree/blog/) thanks!
Iba na kasi yung sistema ng Odeo eh. Ginagawa ko nalang, upload ko sa isang site, tapos link sa Odeo.
Parang lihis yung numbers sakin, 0 lang kita, hindi 10, pero other than that, ok naman.
ok, i’ll change it. no problem.
