tikyo,

i think your comment is a little strong but it makes a lot of sense. many people in our politics and govt who consider themselves as academic intellectuals are are actually hypocrites in disguise. the lesson here is dont believe whatever hypocrites says, no matter how intelligently they present their issues.

met Ninotchka in South Cal early 90’s, found her to be a tupperware pinoy activist, not at all surprised she’s turned color, for why would she stick to the US if not to become a citizen. True revolutionaries don’t mind inconveniences. Even Rizal had the common sense to return to his homeland. To which he said, “ang gamot ay dapat ilapit sa may sakit”

To seek for a greener pasture and to lessen the unemployment rate in our country is not a SIN but rather Beneficial, and besides…the taxes collected from us is a big portion of the country’s PORK BARREL oh sorry…i mean budget.

Yes and if we continue to tolerate and elect these corrupt and inept characters that make up our officials, we should prepare our sons and daughters to be chimays to the rich Indian and Chinese families. Boy, have we fallen! Maybe, we should start preparing to send some to Vietnam and Indonesia as well. That remark of Quezon about our country being run like hell by Filipinos indeed has been realized!

hey walden bello,

puro ka naman ka-plastikan eh. galit na galit ka sa globalisasyon, sa western economic policy, at sa iba pang mga deskarte ng mga amerikano pero dun ka naman nag-aral ng PhD in Sociology sa Princeton. ano ba talaga papel mo sa buhay? wala kang iniwan kay Kiko Pangilinan at Mar Roxas na galit sa american imperialism pero pinagmamalaki naman na produkto sila ng ivy league schools sa america. ipokrito ba kayo o ano? kung talagang makabayan ka, sana sa UP ka na lang namalagi at tumira sa bundok tulad ni ka roger (gregorio rosal ng NDF) at maniniwala pa ako sa iyo. eh panay naman ang aral at pagtuturo mo sa US universities eh di wala ring kredibilidad yang pinagsasabi mo. tsk tsk tsk…and labo mo!

mr bello,

what do you mean we dont need foreign aid? tell that to your fellow politicians. you just want to look good by pretending your nationalist ans patriotic. in reality, you guys fatten yourselves and your families with foreign aids and just recycle it, in and out of your pocket. politicians that even send their children to study in US and european universities to get western education and yet you blame western influence as the culprit. you only say that so you look patriotic. foreign aids should serve its purpose and that is for the needy sectors of the society and not directly to your pocket and to your arrogant relatives. your fellow politicians and their relatives drives around the metro with their flashy cars and hang out in posh clubs and bars at the same time boasting of their connection with greedy and publicity hungry politicians. please dont fool the people that you represent anakbayan, a militant group that hates the west. i dont believe that. all you politicians belongs to the same breed of crooks.
