[Filipino]

I agree with you. The problem with politics in the Philippines is that, it tends to look like a business to the politicians... corporation against a rival corporation. As a filipino, i hated it... im paying taxes but all they're doing is discussing about how to topple the present administration.

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.
