Do you know whether Emelda Marcos’ family still owns the Philippine Plaza and Manila Hotels? [The Manila Hotel was where Gen. MacArthur lived before WW2.] Both Hotels were some very pricey properties (and the Marcos' owned at least two more).

Moons ago, I met Emelda Marcos as she and her entourage inspected the Philippine Plaza property. Later, at the airport on the way home, I met her again as she bid farewell to German Minister Franz-Josef Strauss. {This was before Ferdinand and Emelda's exile in Hawaii.)

I live in the boondocks and have no idea who owns what.

Most of the politicians are related to each other anyway...and the going rate for bribery is 20 percent of a contract. So they are all getting rich.

Pray for the country...the present president is going after the corruption and may be killed like his father...

and Obama is pressuring him to pass a birth control bill if he wants to continue to get financial aid from the US. This means that they will have to destroy the Catholic church to do so...there was already a huge outcry that the bishops were bribed by fancy SUV’s...turned out the bribed by the previous president because money from the charity sweepstakes was used to give the bishops 4wd vehicles to use in charity work, but the smear was done...never mind that if you live outside Manila you can’t go anywhere without a 4wd vehicle, and that the critics were silenced when the bishops had the vehicles parked in front of the senate and the critics were told they could have them back...

Obama’s war against the Catholics is not limited to the USA...
