When peso gain against dollar, Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas reported that its because of the inflow of remittances from OFW's, however, Gloria Arroyo said it's because of our improving economy.
But for the skyrocketing price of fuel, she said its a "global issue".
Everybody knows they are both global issues. But why grab credits on the still disputed issue of "improving economy".
Now that the price of rice is increasing, she's saying again that it's a global issue. When it's not. The truth is, they are doing "band aid" solution on our rice requirement, instead of ensuring local supply and protecting the interest of local farmers. Why? There are more money on importations.
We Filipinos doesn't need to know if there are improvement in the economy. We need to see it in our dining tables, not in figures in televisions and in newspapers. After all, it will be more beneficial if those advertising funds be used for livelihood instead.
It may be true that GDP or GNP is increasing in numbers. But they increase together with hunger and unemployment rate. Those who have something to eat, have it today less than what they have yesterday. They work longer now than they do yesterday. Very few people feels how lives gets better. They are those who are brokering to push through with the NBN-ZTE Deal.
They maybe right when they say that the economy and lives are getting better. Everybody knows, it is their economy and their lives.

Ermita: Arroyo sees no revival of political noise
Comment on the news article: Ermita: Arroyo sees no revival of political noise
It maybe true that the move to oust her has soften, but it's not gone forever. It will remain nested in the raging hearts of every Filipino who seeks for truth and reform in the current political practices in the Philippines. Though each may die, the call for justice will remain a dying wish and the Arroyos and those who benefited from her will never move around without being looked into by those angry eyes with hearts burning with hatred for their deeds.
Hail those whose voice are being heard on the streets, on the radio, on every corner. For the sound of their cry will not go un-noticed. Each small voice will never go un-heard.
GMA, Secretary Ermita, Fajardo, and Bunye and the rest of her staff and those that rallies for her are just doing their job, trying to pacify things up. It's a paid service. But Filipinos are not ignorant, not all Filipino's are a "here's-a-candy-don't-cry".
People cry on the street not because they are paid, but because they want to regain the trust and respect of the world.
It is not true the the world will not tolerate another people power, I don't know which world was that. She might have been referring to her staff, family, and all those in position because of her. Such a small world.
Try talking to small people, those that labor and get taxed, those who work all day and all night, driving a cab, earn very little because of tax and spend it again and get taxed again and yet pay for everything the government does to them. Then at the end of the day, you will see those people, using your hard earned tax to buy advertisements on TV, fooling everybody that life has been better when it's not, negotiating deals that is of no benefit to the people, but have hundreds of millions of dollars of benefit for them. Ah... too bad for Filipinos.
They may be able to pay someone or threaten somebody, but they cannot do it for everybody. She can do it for those who are in the brink of losing their powers or losing their position in the society. They smile on tv, yet, every Filipino curse them for they have sold their souls to the devil.

DENR prepares red carpet for Manny Pacquiao
The Department of Energy and Natural Resources has prepared a red-carpet welcome for Manny Paquiao. What a champion! But why the DENR? Has Manny been fighting for the environment? Or did he fought for a campaign for a renewable energy? Or is the department on a new business of boxing?
Welcoming Manny Paquiao is no problem, but with a red carpet and with the DENR, it's a big question... Where did Lito Atienza got the fund for the royal welcome? Even if it cost only a few thousand pesos (did it?) it still should go to the the energy matters and the environment stuff, am I wrong? Well, unless it's from his personal pocket.
I wonder what the Philippine Sports Commission has done to welcome Paquiao. It's their job anyway.
