Would an independent Muslim State further divide instead of unite the Philippines?

Enrile is a political butterfly. At first, he was with the opposition, and then he switches side with the administration. You just have to view the past Jun Lozada’s NTZ-NBN. See how bias his questions are Together with Senators, Miriam Defensor, and the “don’t mess up with my wife” Jokker Aroyo, all three was vent to demolish Lozada’s credibility, which they dismally failed.
The thing is Enrile, after joining the administration could have gotten away with thousands of hectares of logging concession in Samar, if not for the watchful eye of the NGO’s and the Press.
Latelly, his wife was assigned as Console in Vatican, at the expense of career officials in the department of foreign affaires.
We, the ethnic Filipinos should monitor his actions as Senate President, least he sells us to the devil. Cha-Cha is a very serious matter all ethnic Filipinos should monitor. Our government is completely ruled by ethnic Chinese, and they intend to change our Constitution to give the rights for foreigners (Chinese) to own our land.
Senate is the only vanguard we have against this corrupt ridden administration.
We cannot trust majority of our congressional representatives anymore. They are selfish, self-seeking, rapacious mammals, whoes only concern is to agrandize themselve with the hard-earned people’s tax money.
Even Nograles, who is suspected of receiving a 5 million-fertilzer fund, sounds obnoxious justifying where the money went. He is highly irretional trying to protect the Administraton.
Our government is no longer ruled by the people, with the people and for the people. Ours is ruled by elitist and oligarch, 95 percent ethnic Chinese.

This is in response to Elizabeth Anne Mondray’s comment about Ambassador Kenney.
Just because you live in the Philippines, you do not get the right to comment on the Philippine government. As you said, you are a Democrat (not Filipino). Bad or good our government might be, it is still an independent nation, and we are not looking towards your country to right what is wrong with ours.
Be grateful for the good life that you are enjoying in the Philippines and be gracious enough to know your boundaries.

JPE is not exactly the toothless lion that some people would like to think. Doronila is accurate in his assessment of the situation in the Senate.
From Day One of the EDSA, people power revolution, JPE was waiting to grab the highest position of the land. But, throughout the years and after many elections, he has to acknowledge that he cannot get to that position through the ballots because the people still remember him as the main architect of the Martial Law dictatorship.
Today, JPE has ascended to the third highest position of government; we must remember that Enrile still has Gringo and his RAM boys, besides maintaining his invisible private army. His “war machine” which is capable of staging a coup or military take-over is still very much intact.
A sly old fox, JPE will be watching Malacanang very closely from now till 2010. Any untoward incident before 2010 will be a golden opportunity for him to spring his trap and initiate a military takeover. None of the many candidates will be a majority candidate in the 2010 election and, for sure, there will be accusations of cheating and recounting. If the situation gets out of hand and is not resolved peacefully and judiciously, JPE may have another chance to use his old bag of tricks and achieve his age old dream.

Demons lurking behind Enrile…
Demons are late for time is catching him fast, Enrile is now just a name synonymous only to history nothing to fear about.
Devils are not lurking in the heart of Enrile but angels…

On the mess createad by Delapaz et al, I could not help but wonder whether the central bank governor is in hibernation or just plain “dumb” like many government officials. Clearly, there is a violation of central bank regulations here but the BSP has not taken the initiative to charge Delapaz. No wonder Filipinos are screwed big time because we have officials who sleep on their duty.
