Ok guests and forum members, whats been happeing over in the Phils, last 2 or 3 weeks while your forum moderator has been asbent "In country", well for one thing, apart from a daily diet in Metro and Quezon City, Angeles,and all other Metro connurbations, have seen the usual level of activities, including arrests by PNP for "prostis",18 in all, the raid was almost certainly timed for a gang bust, just about the time the PNP had finished with the GRO's themeselves,or Guest relations officers as the prostis are commonly known by, and of course we had the usual number of shootings, murders, muggings, flashers, cross dressers, pimps, extortion gangs, construction racketeering, gambling, and last but not least, civil demonstrations.
So apart from all of that anything else happening ??
PGMA Her Excllency President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo played host to the Philippine business community at the Manila Hotel, last week, various awards were presented such as:
Best provincial Chamber of Commerce department, who worked best with the Philippine business commuity, that is of course, the one that received the most brown envelopes under the table.
Camarines Sur and Naga City, actually picked up the award, this Was of course, for undisclosed,advanced commissions to government department officals, undeclared, otherwise known as bribes, so obviously a few back handers changed hands, such is life in the Phils.
PGMA also stated that "Their was the small matter of the Fiscal crisis that was hampering the development of local markets in the Philippines, hmmmmmm small matter Madame President, would that be the small matter of the 200 Bn Dollar budget deficit that you are referring to ?? hmmmmmm also PGMA looakalike, Ati Glo, was in full flow, on Philippine television last week, also speaking very eloquently of the fiscal crisis, but when Carina Sanchez, anchor woman for one of Philippine televisions most presitigous channels,asked the President to comment on her decision to raise taxes to offset the budget deficit, PGMA was heard to say, "They will have to learn to curtail on their drinking and their smoking", they it appears are the vast majority of filipino males, who while away the evenings in the bars and clubs of provincial cities, throughout the Philippines.
HAHAHAHAH our advice at the forum is get a round in quick, while its your round, dont want to be doing that,when the price of a San Mig and a packet of fags goes up.
Well as I said, a few murders, a few muggings, shootings, and a little bit of good old rioting, but nothing much happened.
Wait for next weeks instalment.
