While the rich living inthere high rises and large houses in protected villages will hardly notice the chaos for the majority of the filipinos. I had to just laugh, though , they showed a bulletin on sky news, with GMA, in a meeting , with her black shinny raincoat on, as if she is saying to people, i am there in the flooded streets with you.. her hair was immaculate .......
Ok this is off-topic but at this time, we are glad the government did something good and helped the people.

Why wait till now to complain that people have nothing. Just because of the storm? Before or after the storm, things will stay the same unless Filipinos build the government they want. It is a complex situation many money is owed to other governments though.

Marcos is alive and well and living in Taguig. Get your money back from her lavish apartments. Sell it all. Have a revolution.The church is too powerful there too. I often wonder how much influence they have on laws like lowest age to have sex is 12. What on earth is right with that?
