If a congressman takes home about 250K a month (of which only 30K is taxed) , and a blue-collar worker earns a minimum wage of only 250 or so/day (or about 6,500-7K/mo) in MM... what are we supposed to think?

gulliver:
ha ha. the story of our times. Pilipinas, sawi kong bayan. as soon as the elections are over, and the winners proclaimed, yun mga contrators, naiipon sa haybols ni Congressman. they aren't there for the coffee, that's for sure. they are there to divvy up the projects.
i saw it all once, (bisita ako ng anak ni boss Congress). i should have poisoned the coffee. joke.

250k? is that how much we pay for those entertainers? nam pu*a alam nyo ba yung balita na nag-walkout ang mga civilian sa kongreso? Puro debate lang daw ang ginagawa ng mga buwaya? ano ba ang dapat idebate sa pagbilang ng mga boto? ginagawa pa nilang komplikado ang pagbilang ng boto? Baket ako nagagalet? Kasi sila ang malinaw na DAHILAN KUNG BAKIT NAGHIHIRAP TAYONG LAHAT! whew ngiti naman dyan salubong kilay natin eh ;D pasensya na kung medyo galit si ako...

pasensya na kung medyo galit si ako... retsard, you have every reason to feel pissed brad. when i really think of it, i feel like slamming the walls but, why let them ruin our day right? just try to do what good you can for the decent people out there...it puts a smile back on your face. but it still pains me everytime i travel outside of the country and see the conditions in neighboring countries like Singapore, now even Thailand. napapahiya ako...our political figures seem to know only one thing, mess up our country's future. if there are good people there in the political arena, they are outnumbered and bullied by the worst of the lot. kaya, bike na lang tayo....at doon, malayo sa mga manloloko hehehe

Nakakalungkot talaga mga kababayan BUT we as a people should always remember this – THERE IS HOPE. GOD IS MOVING in our country. 2 chronicles 7:14 – “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land” We are a Christian nation , I have no doubt that GOD loves us and favors us...and we will see that soon

Check this out peeps, very encouraging This is a prophecy from Cindy Jacobs early last year, very well known figure in the world Christian community for her prophecies and as an author of best selling christian books. The Lord would say to the Philippines: I am shaking everything that can be shaken, so no man would glory in what I will do. For I have waited for a generation that I could raise up a purity and a holiness in. And I am raising up firebrands -there is a forerunner anointing coming upon the youth of the Philippines that will prepare the way of the Lord even into the Middle East says the Lord. Look and see what I will do in Mindanao. For I am going to visit in a way that you cannot imagine. I am coming to Mindanao, says the Lord, as the God and the Lord of Hosts, and I am going to start appearing. The Lord says, As a sign that I am going to truly change the nation I am going to truly show myself to the guerilla leaders. And I am going to come, says the Lord, and I am going to begin at the places in the Philippines that have been the bloodiest, the places where the guerrilla’s insurrection have been the strongest. And I am going to come with signs and wonders and miracles. And I am getting ready to pour out a miracle anointing upon the Philippines such as the earth has never seen. For Indonesia -they had a rushing mighty wind, but in the Philippines they will have the fire from heaven that will begin to fall - and this will be a purging fire. And I will say, I will visit even as if in a day, says God. Do not think that I am not able to come in a day and begin to unravel the iniquities of the nation, says the Lord. I am going to visit the Military. I am getting ready to come among the young military. And the Lord says, there’s going to be revolution of righteousness that comes within the Military. I’m getting ready to dethrone everything that needs to be dethroned, for even the bowls of heaven are full. Oh, I see the bowls in heaven are just getting ready to be tipped over the Philippines and I’m going to spill out my glory. And the Lord says, I will remove the shame that Satan has tried to put upon this nation. And the Lord says, Look and see for even the blood of the martyrs cries out from Saudi Arabia. The blood of the martyrs cries out from those Islamic nations and my Filipino people that have laid their lives down. Do not think I haven’t seen. Do not think I am looking away. Do not think I do not see you, Philippines; for I see you - you are the apple of my eye. You are a treasure unto me. This is the day and this is the hour when I begin to change everything, says the Lord. I’m going to change the judicial system. I’m going to dethrone corrupt judges. I’m getting ready to deal with the lespu force. I am going to begin to expose, expose, expose, expose. And the Lord says, look and see what I will do. For I will open up my treasure chest from the Philippines. And I am going to begin to release finance from the Philippines that will surprise and shake even Hong Kong. For I am getting ready to move a distribution of wealth, says God. And I am getting ready to open the oil. I am getting ready to open that which is in the ocean. I’m getting ready to bring forth a revolution even in the economic systems; in the finance systems. Look to the university in Manila, says God. For I will bring a revival that the - Oh my Lord - the Lord says, not hundreds; thousand and thousands and thousands are going to get saved. The Lord says, can I touch a whole university? Yes I can touch a whole university. I can come with my glory and I can come with my power in ways that you cannot imagine. For I am coming, says God. I am coming and I will remain, says the Lord. EXCITING DI BA
