That opposition attempt to impeach her looked ridiculous.

It is indeed. My country has a very corrupt tradition in politics... i dont know when that will end, but im confident enough that it will end.

The Philippines have had even Communist gorillas fighting against the government for decades.

To bad the Philippines didn't become a US state, or can it still become a US state ?
Yes, there is much corruption in the Philippines, and most westerners don't realize, even though you have a national government, you still have a clan or tribe type of society ruled by an elder of the community in each town .
But, The dictatorship of Marcos is what put the Philippines and it's people on the road of economic disaster.
