We beg to differ.
Most Filipinos don’t realize the country is drifting into becoming a failed state. Corruption is perpetrated out in the open and perpetrated by lawmakers and government officials. We borrow to finance corruption which is estimated at 40% of the budget. That is the amount lost. The new blood entering politics are the scions of political…
Yet another “rally” is gonna happen this Sunday, the 21st of September which happens to be the anniversary of the declaration of martial law in 1972 by the late “dictator” former President Ferdinand E.
