Just rewatched Pacquaio-JMM 1

Had I been the man in my avatar, I would certainly not be here. I would be in some casinos spending my billions of pesos(hundred million dollars+++).

PACFAN AND PACSTRAIGHT, did you read my blogs already? I wrote those 2 years ago...... just as I predicted..... GMA is definitely not the lesser evil.

I am a CPA by profession and I know(and have witnessed) corruption in government.That's why I resigned as an accountant in one of the government agencies here in the Philippines.

During my time, politicians were contented already with 10% commission. Now they really go as high as 40%-50%. The regular kickbacks(commissions) is around 20%. Payments to these politicians are usually made in advance. whew!!!!! so that $130 million dollar kickback of Abalos was really just regular.I wonder, how much money did these people have corrupted in our government.

And to think we are the ones paying for the interest of this money that they have loaned. Kaya baon sa utang ang Pilipinas.

I thought you were the FG, sayang. There goes my dream to be an instant millionaire.

Seriously, I've observed one of the main weakness of our society is the educational 'culture.' Professors should try guide their students to think, but here, they try to mold the students into their clones. They use subtle and not so subtle ways to force their students to toe their line. Just look how students march in the streets in unison, shouting the same slogans, often calling some people puppets without knowing they themselves are acting like one. In many colleges, you have to be anti-American (don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no American blood) or a leftist, or you would be treated as an outcast, and worst, sometimes be called bobo. That's why pinoy students tend to think in the same way. That's very unfortunate because students should be taught to think in the right way, not in the same way, because when students are taught to think in a independent way, then it opens the floodgate of varied opinions, some which can help solve many of our countries problems. Have you seen a rightist student here (except of course the PMA cadets)? No right? In Japan, there are leftist students, the rightist students, centrists, etc., in the same school, and sometimes they get into heated debates. I think it's about time the pinoy students to be loosened from the shackles of leftist and psuedo-nationalist professors, who're just trying to re-live their glory days of the 70's - the activists era - in their students.
