We beg to differ.
Why is it that privately employed people like me are required to get accounted down to every single centavo when company money is used? Sara did not have to. And we are talking of billions of pesos. She is just laughing it off. Why is it that when I get carried away with my emotions…
Once again, Filipinos find themselves betrayed by a supposed ally. The United States regularly claims that the Philippines is a “friend,” “partner,” and “ally,” but history and present reality tell a different story; one of exploitation, manipulation, and abandonment.
