TAMA si [Senator Miriam Defensor] Santiago baka madehado ang claim natin sa Sabah… dapat careful ang Congress sa pagpasa sa Philippine baseline bill kasi parang walang alam ang mga lawmakers na ‘yan sa mga territorial claims ng Pilipinas.
Dapat ‘wag na nating pakawalan pa ang Sabah.

Sabah can be distributed to those farmers rallying at the DAR and others primarily all those that were deported by Malaysia from that place to increase our rice production. Japan went to war just to get more turf for her food. Esperon is flexing his muscle for the defense of the Spratly, why not show his mettle to get Sabah. Diplomacy is already a thing of the past for the Philippines. Time to use brute force rather than kill ourselves of hunger and idiocy standing.

Nong panahon ni Marcos kayangkaya nating tirisin ang Malaysia (Jabidah Operation) to claim and secure Sabah, but because of kapalpakan ni Ninoy Aquino, binulgar ‘nya too early ang plano, (bcuz of political ambitions) so palpak. I hope we can still do this time.

Are we ready for the possible outcome(s) of this extremely challenging journey? Malaysia is not letting go without a good fight. Goodluck, Pinoy!!!!

marami kasi sa mga kapwa natin filipino ang walang alam tungkol dun sa issue sa sabah. dun naman sa may konting alam, akala nila itinigil na natin yung claim natin sa sabah. dormant lang sya. siguro panahon na para maging aktibo na ulit at para makuha na natin ang talagang para sa atin.

I believe, this part of the country’s legacy must be included in the country’s curriculum program….history and foreign relations. There must be a solid core of foreign Filipino correspondents who must focus on this issue and write about them regularly in our newspapers, especially in dialects or Pilipino so that more Filipinos can participate and join in their discussions. Tagalugin na lang at hindi yung pirming pa-inglis dahil sa we are excluding the very people who must learn about them…..who mostly have not gone beyond the college degree like the youths in the cities.
The strength of the nation lies in the hands of ALL THE PEOPLE. Barely 25% of the Filipinos have functional english literacy. Kung ang mga senador, mga lecturers, mga television pundits ay pirming nag-iinglisan, sila-sila lang ang nagkaka-intindihan. Ang mga tao sa kaparangan ng Philippines cannot join in, and do not get the knowledge and information they needed. Kaya, it is no wonder they do not understand why they should not sell their votes. Para lang silang mga multo na nagsisigalaw pero walang naiintindihan sa ating pagiging bansa, in relation to other foreign countries. Their idea of foreign aggression is still colonial period, yung mga foreign power attacking the islands. They have no idea that with a stroke of a pen, among thieves and traitors, their very own country and the future of their children can be sold at such a pittance, a little secret commission stashed in some accounts of these thieves in foreign countries like the United States….to be more exact, an account with brokerage houses. Anong naiintindihan ng mga Filipino about this corruption? Wala. Pero, magandang pakinggan pag si Gloria nagtalumpati na…but they are all designed, again, to dupe the people.
Condoning a liar and a cheat as the head of a government has a very deleterious consequences. And however rosy Gloria’s economic reports are…nobody should allow themselves to be duped repeatedly. Just look at the haggard faces lining up the USA and other foreign embassies to escape poverty in the country…and just look around how inept public officials are that they could not bring their agencies to function so that the bottom dwellers get relief. Look at the unresolved allegations of corruptions surrounding her and her cronies. Look at the spiraling downhill quality of education in the country. Count how many Filipino children can go all the way up to 6th grades. Count how many teachers can teach well, in both Pilipino and English. Cronyism is alive and well in the country: the reason why the inept with lots of loyalty to Gloria are now riding high and mighty. No wonder, the Philippines is not even mentioned or recommended for tourists to visit by foreign travel agencies. Report about the lack of sanitary toilets of majority of the Filipinos was made, not by Filipinos but by World Agency overseeing health, sanitation, and nutrition in the underdeveloped countries. Whatever good news to come out about the Filipinos abroad, it is the work of individual Filipino, with the help of their parents and well-adhered to Filipino values, not because of the prevailing situation of corruptions in the Philippines. The well-deserving, hard working Filipinos are really working very hard in order to maintain the respect of other people when in foreign countries. They have to fight that impression that is now pervading the sub-consciousness of foreigners that Filipinos are more corrupt, dishonest, and low-lifers as the political situation in the Philippines suggests. Meanwhile Gloria will continue in her effort to cover up corruptions and ineptness of her cronies by delivering rosy speeches about the economy.

Who cares about Sabah? Claim Sabah so that another place to practice corruption?Philippines is world’s famous about it. Kahit ilang panalo si Pacquiao, pilipinong kurakot pa rin ang lumilitaw.
