I PRAY for former President Corazon Aquino’s speedy recovery.
There are so many [forms of] alternative medicine now that [could] cure colon cancer. A friend was diagnosed with colon cancer and was given only three months to live. She didn’t go for surgery [but] instead changed her diet to vegetables and fruits on top of daily exercises. She’s still alive after almost twenty years.
Mrs. Aquino’s faith is so strong, she will overcome this crisis. There is a herbal medicine found in Thailand called “Peking Grass” which claims to be a cure to all kinds of cancer. There is no harm in trying… it’s herbal. If anyone can pass this on to the family of Mrs. Aquino, it might save her life.

Tsk, tsk, tsk where’s your vast fortune you’ve taken from the Filipino People and deposited in HSBC HK all eludes into one account and goes to the account of HM, King Anthony Santiago Martin that’s why you won’t be able to claim it same as what Pres. GMA and FVR did during their time.

Alternative medicine has not been proven to work. If it works, then it won’t be alternative anymore because it will be included in mainstream medicine.
Who says there’s no harm just because it herbal? Why not drink poison ivy, it’s herbal too! It’s the same with all the “all natural” crap we’re bombarded with everyday. Cyanide is natural. So is snake venom.

Despite the ill effects of her KAMAG-ANAKS Inc., I still view Tita Cory positively. Being a transition president, she restored democratic freedom for the entire citizenry that was deprived by 21 years of Marcos dictatorship. Time to maintain peace and serenity in your life and enjoy the benefits of your retirement. Don’t allow the likes of Lozada spoil it. Lozada is like a pollutant.

This is in reaction to a blogger hiding in the name or alias of KARAMA who comments “So please Inquirer… stop posting blogs with topics coming from people abroad talking about the Philippines…. Instead post openions from people here… they know better and they have more right than these expats fake”.
Who are you to take away the expats rights to speak up and air our opinion regarding concerns of their own country?
Somehow, it is illogical why Filipinos keep on complaining alot with the present conditions of our country, since it is the Filipinos themselves who elected this corrupt officials, If not corrupt inefficient or unqualified one.
Filipinos blame on anything at faults of their own making, relying on their relatives that works abroad rather than work for their own living, having plenty of kids beyond their capacity to raise them decently, spending time more on gossips and politics rather than jobs and business, etc. etc.
Cory Aquino made history and served her country with sincerity although her administration is far from perfect
and it is only rightful for us as christians to wish her well. Gloria too made mistakes, but the Filipinos suffering doesn’t come from within GMA’s miracle, unless Filipinos works hard to change, reform and uplift themselves, then even ” superman” can never make it happen.
God bless the Philippines,
