Arroyo plans for reform, more foreign investment

[dArKeR]

The Philippine president shrugged off low approval ratings, promised to improve the nation's infrastructure and spur more foreign investment

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo shrugged off constant coup rumors, sagging popularity and corruption allegations against her family, vowing yesterday to implement more reforms to kick start the Philippine economy.

Arroyo was generally upbeat in a wide-ranging interview, reiterating "total commitment" to the war against terrorism, lauding increased cooperation with China that has yielded nearly a US$5 billion trade surplus for Manila, and promising to cut red tape and improve infrastructure.

This woman is nothing more than a helper of Satan. Been hearing this crap from the PI for 40 years and America's Little State, just keeps getting worse for the 99.99% citizens. Where did aWol get the data to give the speech, "The Philippines is the model of Democracy for the whole world to follow"?

I had a backpack and a hat and I have no investigation skills no do I have the multi-trillion dollar investigation equipment/personnel the NSA/CIA/FBI has. So I could I see chlidren ages 4 to 17 being Whored on the streets of the entire country. How about 1-2 blocks from Arroyo's Presidential Palace, tell me our embassy does not know about that. Tell me the Pope doesn't know about it, his largest Catholic country in that half of the world!

Let's not forget Estrada was taken out by a coup and Arroya stuffs ballots to win.

1. well, Rice did call Pakistan a "democracy," so you know where they're

coming from. By "model" they always mean a corrupt IMF hellhole, with privatization and deregulation left and right. Examples: Argentina before the economy imploded like a black hole and Buenos Aires caught fire, Pinochet's "Miracle of Chile" (corpses hacked open to prevent floating in the Pacific not included), the Chicago Boys in Bolivia mowing down brown people, fascist coups against democratically-elected presidents in VenezuelaIranGuatemalaAndSoOnAndSoForth, terrorists...)
Where do you live, dArKeR? (Just curious)

2. I honestly think, and anyone who went overseas to see for themselves,

I think any moral objective person would come to the conclusion, the citizens of these countries are nothing more than Democratic Slaves.

I live in OR.

Here are Democratic Girl Slaves making Ah-no's cigars.
