I agree with you that her greed was obscene. Do you think she is the only one? Do you actually think that graft, greed and the obscenities of corruption are gone?

The Aquino family that replaced her owns incalculable acres of land and yet the promised land reform hope for many that supported them, especially tribal people, and they received nothing other than government promises and turmoil.

I knew people that were killed by the NPA. I knew Martin Burnham.

I can guarantee you that even if these jewels are sold (and I have no problem with this), the effect will be zero to none for the average citizen of the P.I.
