IN MY own opinion, our lawmakers should focus more on
putting up laws governing the Internet.
We are so focused on improving our Internet infrastructure, but the laws governing it are not very established. Our economy may benefit from the broadband expansion, for it will create more businesses and jobs in the outsourcing sector, but consequently easy access to the Internet would mean the proliferation of porn, Internet-related crimes, fraud, pedophilia, and other unimaginable damage [to which[ our children and loved ones [would be exposed].

You guys are pretty smart and brilliant to come up with that ideas. Unfortunately, I believe those people in the government na mga gahaman sa pera are not thinking about this Broadband Over Power Lines dahil konti lang ang pagkaperahan nila. Those vultures are only focussing their minds to where they could share big big big BIG BUCKS in one click of their fingers.
And look, every time nagkakabestuhan at nagkakabukuhan like this NBN dealings, there are people (lots of them) who are reportedly involved are speeding out of the country for so many unknown reasons. At present nobody from among the government authority seem interested to monitor the movement of these people while outside the country especially if or when they are transacting business in foreign banks. Malalaman na lang natin later nai-withdraw na pala at closed account na ang kung saan nai-deposit ang mga milyones dolyares na pinaghati-hatian ng mga los ladrones na mga sin berguenza.

What a shame that our country is doing business and it’s in regarding the countrys networking and confidential database system with another country which we have a different government ideology. Are they aware of they can easily have an access to our secret databases and information once they let this project materialise? Are we going REDS? And afterwards they will seek asylum to the USA and leave us suffering in our homeland?

I plan to reduce by 10% my regular dollar aid to my extended family there so they can get out of their comfy existence and start complaining and doing something to help make some change for the betterment of the government leadership.
Now, if the rest of the OFWs’ will do the same then, a change might happen?

Gloria Arroyo is one of the most corrupt presidents, the country has ever had, AND A WOMAN AT THAT.

Normal na ang ganitong senaryo sa mga barangay nga nangyayari rin ito kung sino ang namumuno yun ang may biyaya..bakit may mga kapitan lang ng barangay na nagmimilyonaryo? Bakit?!!!! Sa mataas na katungkulan pa…sinu sino sila lahat kaya lang ngayon iilan lang ang nakinabang kaya ayon nagreklamo ang di nabigyan….hala bigyan lahat sila ng matigil na yan…..mga Pilipino gising kaya sa susunod na botohan palitan lahat ang mga namumuno kasi tayo lang ang may kakayahan para mabago ang takbo ng Pulitika at umasenso ang Pilipinas..huwag kayong padadala sa konting ibinibigay nila kumpara sa milyun milyong nanakawin nila. Kasi kahit pa mabuti ang hangarin ng iba pag nasama yan sa mga datihan ng nasa pwesto madadamay din yan…wipe out all next time and select the good leaders that what the Philippines deserved..not all these in power now President, Congress and Senate who only thinks of themselves not for the progress of the Filipinos..tayo lang ang pwedeng bumago sa Pilipinas wala ng iba…..
