Subject: Here we go again; maybe miracle will happen for Dual Citizenship. Just in this MB alone there are 355 Website Users open my Retirement Video. Go to Google and search for Paul Villanueva Sr. Author: Paul L. Villanueva [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Fri, Jul 03 2009 Wake up my dear fellow Filipinos. It is now time for change stop corruption from the top down to the bottom. I am no longer proud of my primary citizenship to be called a Filipino because of our leaders running the most corrupt head of a country in Asia today. Who do you think are stupid enough who will try to lend their money to the losing business? Without good President, Governor, Mayor or manager and good collateral, they will not even think of lending us a cent. This was a proven facts and experience on my part. The new President can not balance the budget, there goes the spiraling economy. No money to spend to pay teachers, soldiers, the poor (public aid), road and bridges etc. etc. We are living in debt after Marcos left. I hope and pray that the next President doesn't do something stupid like putting our country into more corrupt-embarrassment! If they do, I know a lot of Filipinos will not only be ashamed of our citizenship but also change citizenship, if it is possible. Maybe other Countries would rather deal with dictators and corrupt leaders as it is cheaper to (lagay is my guy) "buy" them or do business with them.

Subject Author Date You make a very good argument, Mang Paul. It is obvious that you haven't given up on the Philippines. As I see it, you care very much about the Filipino and the Philippines. The question is, how and what are we going to do about what we percieve is the current ultimate issue/issues of our time? May I suggest, we look at the education system in the Philippines? May I further ask everyone to either propose a solution, create a platform of discussion and or produce a program where we all can put our heads together and get on it the transformation. Talk is cheap...nothing gets done in the process but if we al put our heads together, we can do wonders. Akelat (Actions speak louder than words!) Fri, Jul 03 2009 Sagot niyan ay si BAYANI FERNANDO. (NT) Bayani for President Movement Fri, Jul 03 2009 Concern Filipino Concern Flipino ng Ilocano Fri, Jul 03 2009 msg reads: Just comments to what Manong Paul had posted here. I agree to AKELAT - Actions speaks louder than words. Every Filipino should do something huwag lang puro dakdak. Yes our country is now a 3rd world country. Who made it so, the Flipino people din di ba. Makakita lang ng Americano, tameme na, gustong mga gamit imported, galing US. Papano uunlad ang Plipinas, kung ang ipatronize mo ay galing sa ibang bansa. ang tutulungan mo sa hanapbuhay ay sa ibang bansa. Ang talento mo ay gagamitin mo sa ibang bansa. Magaaral ka nga para naman sa ibang bansa. Punta sa abroad, sa Americam kahit taga punas ng puwit ng Americano masaya na. (NT) -- continue below, Sat, Jul 04 2009 I agree with Akelat. If only those concern Filipinos who want the Philippines step forward, come, go back to the Philippines,your country of birth, share your talents and knowhows on how to build this country up again. Mag umpisa kayo sa Tagudin, ipakita ninyo na marunong kayo. Para naman umunlad at maging city rin ang Tagudin. Aim high di ba! Now if you are not a concern Ilocano/Filipino citizen, just stay there abroad and make the most of it. Dalhin lahat nang pamilya ninyo diyan para di na maapektuhan sa crisis sa Pilipinas. Huwag na kayo mag kumento what ever hapennings here. Kami lang na nagbabayad ng taxes ang may karaptang magreklamo dahil kami naghihirap here sa klase ng gobyerno. (NT) -- Sorry ha, just voicing out... Ayaw ko kase g mga komento, gusto ko actions and accomplishments...., Sat, Jul 04 2009 Agree ako sa iyo pare. Wala kaming karapatan na mag-komento na nakatira outside the Philippines KUNG wala namang action on our part. The good thing however for us who don't live in the Philippines is we have the opportunity to help. Ano ba ang maitutulong namin? We can either donate our talent kagaya ng tinatawag na "medical mission" or magdonate ng pera para sa mga programa ng Pilipinas. Dahil taga Tagudin ako, uunahin ko siyempre and aking bayan. Therefore rather than "TALK THE TALK" we should "WALK THE TALK" wika nga. Di ba pareng Paul? (NT) -- Nagmamasid, Sat, Jul 04 2009 You cannot say Pinoys living overseas should not have a say to what is going on over there. Dont forget that a lot of Pinoys living overseas are still Filipino citizens or have dual citizenships. In any way they still have strong attachments to the home country except maybe for those Pinoy who totally relinquished their Filipino citizenships and had cut off their ties with the Philippines. In fact, a lot of them pay taxes for their properties they left behind there and they are also sending money to the country keeping the Philippine economy afloat. (NT) -- peace, Tue, Jul 07 2009 Let us NOT judge anyone. We also cannot just rush home to the Philippines and expect that we can do big things right away with open arms from the powers that be. We need to look deeper into where our impact can make a differrence. The values of our fellow Filipinos have been corrupted by their desperation and the survival mentality. And let us make one thing stratight, overseas work has been keeping the Philippines economy for many years now. Mang Paul, you have a very moral line of thinking...ignore the distractive comments, please. You know yourself...please continue to care! Akelat (One's conscience rules one's thoughts...) Sat, Jul 04 2009 "We need to look deeper into where our impact can make a difference" I like that. Even intrinsically unpleasant acts like giving blood can seem rewarding when we do it to help others, warm fellowship with others when we turn our thermostats to conserve gas or toss away our aerosol sprays not to deplete the ozone layer. In fact there are many things that approximate being public goods. The problem is, the action of just a few isn't enough, we all expect free riders( slackers) (NT) -- Apo Mitir, Sat, Jul 04 2009 for centuries sir paul, we've acquired spanish traits and traditions just like mexico and other latin countries. i think if one of these countries change their ways, we'll do the same. for now let's be proud of our birth of origin which is phillipines that it has a functioning government unlike iraq and other countries. all we need is invest more in p.i. and time will tell. (NT) love your country no matter what Sat, Jul 04 2009 Since election is coming up, if you are aware of issues grappling the Philippines, there's one thing you can do if you really want a change in the country, educate the voters. Most Filipinos tend to vote for celebrities, the ones the are popular and the candidates who give out money, bag of rice or whatever. Remind them to vote for the candidate who has a good vision for the country and with good track record. A president who is popular or a celebrity would not lift them up from poverty unless that president is a good president, and a bag of rice or some money will only last a few days. (NT) Chances are that if they vote for the right president, their lives would get better in the long run and maybe even corruption might also be eliminated.
