Amoral people hold all positions of power in The Philippine Islands. They will kill, or give orders to kill, anyone they see as a threat, not losing sleep ..... no worries about any hereafter. In their eyes, God has allowed them to do this. They see themselves as the ultimate good.
They must be the better, else why are they ruling the serfs? Proof of their ultimate good is when the sissy running the U. S. embassy pays homage to them.

The Philippines is a rich country, with bountiful land, water and human resources. But the Philipino people are poor and groveling in poverty, working, if possible, in great hardship, raising their families in misery, sleeping in squalor and suffering state police oppression. The elite of these murderous police were trained by the CIA!
For centuries, the social wealth created by the Philipino toiling people has been unjustly appropriated, first by foreign colonizers and then by foreign capital and their local agents, always through a combination of force and deceit, and with the collaboration and help of the P. I. elite.
Those local elite are the rulers of the country now. They compromised in World War Two with the Japanese, but McArthur forgave them after they ponied up the bribes for him. In the Philippine Islands only money and bullets talk. Nothing else matters.
More than a few amateur attempts have been made to infect our computer system.

What To Do If Any Philippine Police Want To Search Where You Live Or Are Staying.
Remember, You are Seen As Rich And Are A Special Target Of Every Scam Artist, Hooker, Criminal, Thief And, The Chief Criminals Of All Of The Philippine Islands, The Police.
Once You Are In The Judicial System The Other Criminals Come Into Play, i.e., Attorneys Such As Abelardo Cariaga Estrada (isn't that the middle name for a girl?) Of Baguio City, and All Judges. This Includes The Whole Country. We know one attorney that we can say is some, but not completely, honest.
This information was borrowed from Margarita Station. We recommend you visit their site to see what is going on in Angeles City.
THE POLICE ARRIVE WITH A SEARCH WARRANT
a. Do not allow them to enter the house, politely informing them to comply with the warrant.
b. Carefully read the warrant.
c. Inform them of the name and address of your barangay representative and a known local resident.
d. Inform the police that entry will be granted once theses witnesses are present.
e. Once the witnesses arrive, ask the supervising officer who he has nominated to carry out the search, then request that your witnesses are allowed to search that person.
f. If the supervising officer nominates two searchers, then politely point out that the warrant is addressed to any police officer in the singular, therefore the intent is that two witnesses are with the searcher at all times. Should the supervising officer argue this point, you may quote Section 7 of Rule 126 of the Rules of Court whereby you must also witness the search, and you can only be in one place at one time.
g. Insist that the nominated searcher wear gloves and that any incriminating material discovered be tested for your fingerprints
h. Once this has been sorted out, grant entry to the nominated searcher plus the witnesses. Inform the supervising police officer that in order for them to comply with the warrant, all others must remain outside until the search has been completed.
i. Note what item(s) are nominated on the search warrant. No other item may be seized other than that for which the warrant is issued.
j. Should a prohibited drug be found, telephone a very good attorney. The police have only discovered evidence of a possible crime, and have not witnessed a crime in progress, therefore you are not obliged to go with them at that moment. You could request to wait for your attorney and use the time to put your affairs in order. The police have to complete a lot of paperwork, then appear before a judge to obtain a warrant of arrest.
Woman accuses MPD cop of taking P30,000 from her (Sept. 2008)
MANILA, Philippines – A 28-year-old woman accused Manila cop taking away P30,000 from her that she was supposed to have used to pay for her hospitalization, allegedly because she was a snatching suspect.
Alicia Sigua, a native of Tarlac and resident of G. Puyat Street in Quiapo, filed her complaint on Monday against Police Officer 2 Victor Canda the crime.
The cop is assigned to Station 4 of the Manila Police District (MPD), where Sigua tried to file her complaint. But on the way in she saw the cop on board his motorcycle. She tried to flag down him down, but the cop sped off.
Sigua decided to go to the MPD headquarters on United Nations Avenue in Ermita instead and file her complaint with Police Officer 3 Reginald de los Reye at the General Assignment Section.
She said the cop took the money from her last Saturday. She had just withdrawn the cash from a Western Union Branch on Morayta Street in Sampaloc at around noontime.
She said that the money had been deposited by her relatives to be used in her hospitalization.
She on her way home when Canda accosted her and told her that she was suspect in a snatching case. The cop then frisked the woman and took the money, including the receipt from the Western Union.
MPD probers had already invited the policeman to explain the incident. If he fails to present himself before the authorities on or before Tuesday, the MPD will file administrative and criminal charges against him.When they get to the policeman, that abused his authority to steal the woman's money, all they will do is take 25,000 pesos of it from him and protect him.
Corruption Jacking Up Electricity Cost -- ADB Study
By Doris C. Dumlao
First posted 04:29am (Mla time) Oct 28, 2005
Inquirer News Service [Page A5 of the Oct. 28, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer]
You wonder why your electricity bill is so high? It’s because of corruption, says the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
A new study by the bank warns that “deeply rooted” corruption is jacking up costs of power projects in the Philippines, delaying their implementation and providing Philipino households and businesses with expensive and unreliable electricity services.
“If unmitigated, the growing negative perception will adversely affect the inflow of investments into the sector,” the ADB said in a study assessing its assistance to the local power sector as a lead development partner over the last 30 years.
It acknowledged that the bank’s assistance program had failed in helping to provide the country with reliable and affordable electricity as well as a financially viable power sector and pledged to do better.
The bank lamented that corruption existed even in ADB-supported power projects, putting the multilateral lender’s own reputation at risk.
“ADB’s support of sector reforms and privatization exposes ADB to corruption-related risks, which highlights the need to carry out such reforms and privatization openly and transparently,” the study said.
Nevertheless, the study said the ADB should continue to support the sector, particularly its transformation to a well-regulated, competitive sector that is financially viable.
The ADB study, which devoted a 13-page appendix on corruption using inputs from Transparency International, said corruption was contributing directly to higher costs of electricity.
It noted that household electricity rates in the Philippines were the third highest after Japan and Hong Kong and were two to three times more expensive than in most other countries.
It said corruption was involved in almost all phases of a project, from tendering and bidding to operation and maintenance as well as privatization and awarding of independent power producing contracts.
“The relatively large number of alleged corruption incidences at the stage of privatization implementation might have been driven partly by some special interest groups opposed to the privatization of the power sector or commercial competitors,” it said.
The efforts to circumvent procedures designed to prevent corruption by some individuals within executing agencies, financing agencies, government and contractors also lead to project delays, the study added.
The bank said the country’s corruption problem must be solved. Business and residential customers, particularly the poor, should not pay for corruption through higher electricity rates and taxes.
The relatively low conviction rates in corruption cases in the Philippines provide little deterrence to potential offenders, the study said.
It cited as an example the case of the mothballed $2.3-billion Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, which was riddled with corruption charges and subjected to the arbitration and civil suits but still without major convictions.

We are a group of people who have banded together in an attempt to free our national hostages being held by a corrupt Philippine Islands' justice system. Some are charged, some are jailed and some have been murdered. In all of the situations listed here, the foreigners are innocent.
We daily work with information that can be helpful to our kidnapped citizens and see a need to present some of that information here for public viewing to slowly constrict some of the Philipino officials who prey on foreign nationals as well as their own people as department of state reports: U. S. Government Report on Police and Military death-squads in The Philippine Islands
At the link you can read "Corruption is a problem in all the institutions making up the criminal justice system, including police, prosecutorial, and judicial organs."
It is going to be impossible to gain the freedom of foreign nationals without exposing the seedy corruption of many ranking members of Philippine society. We will expose many crimes committed by these leaders against their own people as well.
The Philippine Islands Foreign Secretary, Alberto Romulo, said in July 2007, that his government, "would strongly push for the creation of a commission on human rights for Asia to give ASEAN more credibility in the international community."
We, who know, believe this is going to be a very difficult thing to pull off. The American Indian would say, "He speaks with a forked tongue." Whatever most officials say you can just believe the opposite. It is like Attorney Abelardo Estrada giving a speech In Baguio to a country wide attorneys' meeting telling them how they need to work "pro bono" for people being denied their human rights. While he denied human rights to his own foreign clients while he misrepresented them and falsified evidence so he could fleece them.
While the corrupt government of The Philippine Islands is pushing for a commission to help insure human rights for all of Asia, the Philippine Islands' government has a very dismal human rights record indeed. During the current administration more than 130 people have been disappeared, completely. More than 870 have been murdered by military types who have formed into "death squads with high officials' approval."
The President of the country gave the military two years to deal a death-blow to the New Peoples Army. The NPA can never and will never be stamped out by killing people associated with it or the murdering of innocents and opposition politicians, as is occurring from 2001 to present.
The NPA is a result of a corrupt government and The Philippine Islands will always have an insurgency. The government refuses to deal with corruption at every level of Philippine society. Instead of jailing and prosecuting criminals like this certain Lauro C. Reyes for brutality, they are simply reassigned. This is only one of thousands of reasons why there will always be an insurgency in The Philippine Islands. Injustices like this keep the insurgency fueled with new recruits. There are thousands of people yearly whom actively seek out the N.P.A. so they can enlist and get vengeance upon the officials whom murdered their dads, moms or took their lands through bribing judges.
The hypocrisy of the current U. S. Embassy (Run by the Department of State) is easily seen. The "Americans offered to investigate", but we already know who is behind the murders. On top of this the citizens from all other countries are left to become casualties as they are literally kidnapped by the Philippine Islands' judicial system. The Philippine Islands' government has the U. S. government and other governments between a rock and a hard place and will not ease up the pressure. U. S. officials so-want to deal a death-blow to the Moslem extremist there that they allow themselves to be pulled and pushed into deserting all U. S. citizens!
While Fox News' Philipina reporter (Maria Ressa) in The Philippine Islands reported "leftist demonstrations", in 2007, the truth is kept from the world. These demonstrations are not leftist or communist inspired, but are people who have had their lands taken from them by the rich who bribe the judges and/or their relatives arrested and "disappeared" for complaining of the injustices perpetrated upon them by the rich and powerful who stay in power by buying votes and manipulating elections
There is not a single judge that does not have a price and when in cases between Philipinos that price is usually only one to two hundreds dollars. The demonstrators only want justice, but the U. S. embassy and the C.I.A. does not care about justice. "The Company" (our colleagues) wants and enjoys a dictatorship where they only have to control and influence one or a few people to rule a country.
The young Philipina reporter (Maria Ressa) can never, and will never, report the truth or she will disappear like others before her. She is used by Fox and CNN. She lied and she knew it. She feels so intimidated that she lied saying "leftist" were demonstrating in Cebu earlier in 2007. More news-paper people were murdered in 2006 in The Philippine Islands than in Palestine and Iraq combined, during the same time. Philipinos are now starving (and have been for years and years) and The Philippine Islands is the world's largest importer of rice. She would never report the truth and accordingly has moved up the ladder of success in the P.i. receiving the blessing of the murderous politicians who run the place.
More than 250,000 children are living homeless in the cities towns and cities. Manila alone having more than 70,000. The ones who do not starve are beggars and thieves and will one day be the hit men for the police and other crime gangs they end up joining. The street children near "police station four" in Angeles City end up being recruited to work the police run scams against foreigners and set-ups and the same goes for the police in Manila.
For fifty dollars most anyone can buy a reporter to write up something against someone else. Corruption at its worst.
The Philippine Islands' National Police (PNP) frequently labels cases “solved” when a suspect has been identified and charges have been filed before the prosecutor or the court, even if the evidence and allegations are so uncertain as to raise significant doubts that a viable case could ever be pursued. Many times the alleged perpetrator is not in custody and in many cases is not even capable of being apprehended.
Philippine justice is meted out with favor and money talks. Any white man or other Asian foreign national is given much harsher sentences than a Philipino who has committed the same crime.
All foreigners are special targets for planting drugs or set-up involving sex. They are then given a choice of pay or being jailed for years. Angeles City N.B. I., and police are famous for this. Orders were sent out from the chief of all police in The Philippine Islands in late 2007 ordering the police in the Angeles City and Manila areas purposely target foreigners and send a reasonable portion of the extorted monies up the hierarchy.
Families told Human Rights Watch that they received little or no information from the police about the state of investigations, and that the police showed almost no concern as to whether the victim’s family still has unanswered questions or concerns. One widow said: “We’ve had no contact (with the police) since the killing .... That’s why we don’t trust them. Because it’s been almost two months, and the investigation doesn't’ seem resolved.”
Why does the U. S. government continue to give aid and train these government sponsored terrorists? We are helping an illegitimate government, that came to power in a coup, stay in power. We are so very tired of the useless C.I.A. "workshops on terrorism" given at Clarkfield and other places. "Building bridges" with the Philipino is nothing more than allowing them to latch their hands onto American taxpayers' money. The bridge is one way all headed in their direction, nothing coming back from the hustlers. They are using us now just as they did when we owned Clark airfield. United States government aid went into their private coffers then and now as they use the "War on Terrorism" as their gold mine, while keeping the giant American corporations free from worry about strikes by killing anyone wanting pay above slave wages. Shame on you large corporations using the downtrodden slaves to build your riches.
Remember what happened when United Fruit (a fruit producing company in Guatemala) decided to get rid of the Guatamalan President, Arbenzin, 1953? Dole and DelMonte (located in The Philippine Islands) has connections through wall street right into the C.I.A. and could do something similar, but with better results than the 1953 nervous-wreck situation. If not for one man pushing on we would have not been able to replace Arbenzin.
Henry Cabot Lodge was known as "the Senator from United Fruit" and old Beedle Smith (Behind his back he was called Beetle) fancied himself working for United Fruit after his retirement(And he was given a board place with salary after retiring). You State Department boys, and young new-guy C.I.A. smarties, will need to brush up on your C.I.A. - State Department history to understand this. Some of the old hands are still around. Seek them out and ask them.
The Philipino people (Not all, but most) are very insecure due to being ruled over for 450 years by outside powers. They are sensitive, greedy, extremely racist, and manipulative, but are humble workers and learn fast if they have enough incentive ($$$). They tower over the Saudis in their racism and hatred of outsiders. Hard lives and the tough centuries have taught the average Philipino how to adapt to survive under the harsh rule of the Spanish and the harsh rule of their own rulers. Their elected officials have all of the bad traits mentioned in this paragraph. The poor Philipino became as crafty as their leadership or they suffered and died.
Most embassies allow the corrupt Philippine Islands' police, attorneys, judges, and court systems to hold hundreds and hundreds of foreigners for ransom. The embassies are afraid to help these poor unfortunates because they must worry about the paid demonstrators of 10 to 30 people standing in front of the embassies holding posters, etc. There is a common joke among the various embassy staffers. The demonstrators hold up signs saying, "YANKEE GO HOME", but on the other side what you do not see are the words, "And take me with you." The Philipinos have a saying, "I am getting out of this country no matter what it takes or which other country I will go to. I am just getting out!"More than 75% cannot possible acquire enough money to ever get out.
While receiving reports and complaints against these police and attorneys and other officials, the embassy allows these kidnappers free entry at any time into America. We are all in agreement that enough is enough!
What we see and are ordered to do would surprise most. Some of us do have some morals left and we are going to start freeing foreigners that have been denied human rights, proper hearings, and framed for non-existent crimes in the normal, and very corrupt, Philippine Islands' injustice system where money and power (usually both) decides all cases. To be convicted in The Philippine Islands is to be convicted not of a crime, but of having no influence, as Seagraves has so eloquently pointed out.
When will the ambassadors in the mould of former ambassador Byroade, but a huge mixture of a caring human with the likes of Ms. Patt Durian be stationed in Manila, instead of the sissy we have now? We are tired of "business-as-usual" being conducted by our government while Americans and other nationalities rot in Philippine jails with false charges leveled against them whose sole design was to get money or "payback" for some unintentional slight.
Life in The Philippine Islands not idyllic, nice, or easy. The usual tourist sees only this side when he/she visits, they never see the real Philippine Islands. To see what the actual situations are in The Philippines Islands you must live there for two years or more. Only then do you see a little of what is going on behind the brown smiles and promises of good "Philippine hospitality" for your stay the foreigners always see and hear. You begin to hear of the late night murders by police and soldiers, the police-run scams and protection rackets, the bribery, the leadership sending out murder lists, etc.
The country is run by criminals from the top to the lowest village official. Their faces can be seen posted during Christmas times (thanking the people whom they have made serfs) and during election times.
The police and officials (criminals) keep the Philipino people terrorized! Many times police-justice is meted out on the streets from a 9mm, and many times the murdered one was the wrong one or someone who would not pay the police "their" part of the illegal enterprise for police-run "protection".
Evidence the police recovers is commonly appropriated and used by these very police or just sold and the money stashed away into a bank account listed under another name.
Police run "protection" rackets in every city, but noteworthy are Manila, Angeles City and Baguio City, where Col. Isagani Neres used to be the unofficial crime-boss. Now this Isagani Neres ("Gani" Neres) is pocketing plunder in a neighboring province.
Whereas in most cities the police take protection money for operations they know are illegal, Col. Isagani Neres murdered the leadership of all crime gangs in Baguio City, but one. He then fused the leaderless members with the remaining crime gang with him as the head. He sends so much ill-gotten (and unreported to the tax bureau) money up to higher police officials that he is considered "Bullet proof" with no one daring to touch him. We will not only touch him, but will slap his greedy face.
Suddenly, and we know why, with the Americans becoming more involved in the war on terror" in The Philippine Islands, there has been a vast increase in government (Philippine Army death squads) sponsored murder. We can provide hundreds of cases and will provide some at a later date.
The ultimate height of hypocrisy was when the American embassy (the old foggy-bottom boys as usual) offered to help the Philippine Islands' government find out who is behind these political murders by death squads! Everyone in Intel at every embassy knows that the lists are drawn up at the Presidential Palace (their White House equivalent) in Manila. These lists are given to special units or units already in place that murder the ones on the lists. Many of these units have the words "Task force", "Special operations group" or "Special Task force" in their unit designation.
Usually the murdered ones are called the old Bogey word, "communists", but in fact they were mostly just citizens who are tired of the richer buying judges and stealing their lands! Like the demonstrators in early 2008 in Cebu were called "leftists". They were only normal citizens who are tired of the corruption and being brutalized by their elected officials using the police-types and military.
The Philippine Islands does not have a jury system like normal democracies. One judge decides all cases. This places all judges in positions of having tremendous power to extort large bribes in large cases, especially when a bank with millions of dollars on deposit decides to not allow some of the more wealthy depositors to withdraw their monies.
The few richer depositors go to court, but the judge has been bribed to rule in the favor of the bank and the bank makes 3 million and the judge gets paid 1 million and the few depositors are left with injustice. Due to this injustice many elect to join the New People's Army to get revenge. Some of the NPA groups have leaders who are communists, some are bandits and some are neither - all these NPA groups claim to seek justice with the bullet. No matter which flavor each particular NPA group is, most of the people in the NPA are only citizens who have been cheated of their monies, homes and lands and are not communists at all. They do not care about communist dogma, only in seeking justice and revenge against a system that is stacked against them.
(Updated December 28, 2008) Bankers who currently have stolen whole deposits from pool Philipinos and manipulated ($$$$) the court system are Christine Wangdali (A bull dyke) and C.P.A. attorney, Carmenilo Pensacola (Who has been convicted of other crimes since becoming a C.P.A. attorney).
The word on the street is that a "hit" has been ordered for both these thieves. Before 2009 is out they will be charged with money laundering. The word on the street at the end of 2008 is that a hit is still out on both of them and is slated for sometime in 2009. (Updated December 28, 2008)
The American embassy and all other embassies know this and that their own citizens are targets! Any foreign citizen in The Philippine Islands has a target on his back and is a target to anyone with power or any woman who wants to claim rape as a means to make money from the poor unfortunate.
The poor foreigner is then ganged up on by attorneys, prosecutors, police, and judges and they all split what is stolen or monies taken from clients they misrepresent (in the case of Abelardo Estrada of Baguio city, Philippine Islands misrepresenting the religious worker from America.). They call this "milking." The victim is called a "milking cow".
The ones who prey on these foreigner are attorneys, police-run kidnap gangs and police set-ups. Of course if the man is too stupid to ask how much they want then he is convicted of a false crime with his own attorney working with prosecutors and police to convict the innocent man and split the attorneys' fees later!
The American embassy knows this! They sometimes blame their own citizens for being so stupid for not paying a bribe. Most embassies keep quiet because of three things:
A. If they try to rightfully influence the courts to let the innocent go then the judges and attorneys put people in the street holding signs saying that America or whomever, is trying to" interfere with the internal affairs of The Philippine Islands." Usually the crowds never amount to more than 20 people, but the cameraman will be instructed to pan-in to not show such a pitifully small crowd. Typical racial slanting of the news. The Philipino is an expert at using the "R" word.
B. The war on terror is deemed so important that nothing should get in the way, even citizens that the embassies are to actually represent! Again the United States embassy is the number one offender against its own citizens and is very easily controlled by the Government-run Philippine Islands' press screaming "Racism" and "interfering". Americans cannot stand to be called racists. Americans will sacrifice their own citizens so they will not be called "Racists".
C. Large companies like DelMonte pineapple, coke, and oil companies pressure the American State Department officials at the embassy level and in America to "not rock the boat" while they makes tons of money off of cheap labor keeping their workers pay at the subsistence level. Naturally they have direct links through wall street into the Agency (C.I.A., aka "The good guys")
The best embassy to help its citizens there is the Australian.
The purpose of this "slow constriction" is to make the guilty men and women who have the power of life and death, squirm, be embarrassed, loose face, and eventually become such an international embarrassment to their bosses that they are moved to lower jobs, or fired, and possibly charged or executed by their corrupt and more powerful higher-ups.
Every foreign national has provided us with all the related court papers and passed at least two polygraph tests (some four).
The two men from Holland (In November of 2005) were arrested, shackled and handcuffed, yet murdered "While attempting to escape" when they would not pay more!.
Justice for them is soon coming. But first we are going to set examples in smaller areas first and allow you, in larger cities, to have uneasy feelings because the constriction has started now.
We hand carry our info and upload. We keep many copies in many places. We have much more we can upload, if necessary. We are serving warning to one and all, stay out of our op.
What we are going to do is what most embassies are afraid to do, i.e., help their citizens!

The worst criminals in The Philippine Islands are the elected officials, attorneys, accountants and all police-types. Not a single team member has met one of these that we can say are honest.
We have never met one that we can say is not a criminal.
Table of corruption.
Zero is the best possible score.
1: Singapore, 1.13 (1.20)
2: Hong Kong, 1.80 (1.87)
3: Japan, 2.25 (2.10)
4: Macau, 3.30 (5.18)
5. South Korea, 5.65 (6.30)
6. Malaysia, 6.37 (6.25)
7. Taiwan, 6.55 (6.23)
8. India, 7.25 (6.67)
9. Vietnam, 7.75 (7.54)
10. China, 7.98 (6.29)
10. Indonesia, 7.98 (8.03)
11. Thailand, 8.00 (8.03)
12. Philippines, 9.00 (9.40)
The Philippines is a sad case when it comes to corruption, the consultancy said in a summary report made available to AFP.
The Philippine situation is probably no worse than in places like Indonesia and Thailand, but corruption has become politicized and is openly discussed in the media, unlike in authoritarian countries like China and Vietnam, it said.
The Philippines scored 9.0 out of a possible 10 points under a grading system used by PERC under which zero is the best score and 10 the worst.
In 2006 The Philippine Islands ranked as the eighth most corrupt nation shared by: Swaziland, Guyana, Rwanda, Gambia, Benin, Honduras, Russia and Nepal.
Haiti was the most corrupt nation.
The most honest countries are, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark, Singapore, Sweden. Switzerland, Norway, Austria & Luxembourg
Singapore at 1.13 (1.20)was rated as the fourth most honest country in the world.
___________
Southeast Asian countries who were trailing the Philippines by a mile in terms of economic development in the 1950’s are now miles ahead of the Philippines on same score.
The Philippines was then the second best economy in the whole of Asia next to Japan. But same countries which once envied the Philippines then are now the cause of envy by the latter.
Lately, China and Vietnam, formerly socialist and war torn countries, and also India joined the league of progressive nations in Asia with the Philippines relegated to the group of the least progressive nations in Asia that include the likes Bangladesh, Pakistan, Laos and Sri Lanka.

The growth and development of any nation lies in the hard work of peasants, fisher folk, workers, indigenous peoples, women and their communities. But when these very people face intense poverty, hunger, un- employment, landlessness and loss of all resources, then development is meaningless because life itself is threatened and communities are destroyed. This is the hard reality of the Philippines.
A third of the Philippine population of 90 million lives on a dollar a day or less, according to a report issued May 12, 2008.
Of the 90 million there are 12 million who are not living in The Philippine Islands. They have immigrated or working overseas and are sending money back in to help their poverty-stricken relatives.
7 out of 10 Philipino farmers are landless. The farmers face extremely high rates of land rents and usury is so high that it ranges from 100%-400% per cropping season.
Husbands, wives and children are separated for years at a time, their marriages destroyed. All due to the endemic nature of their ruling elite, their tendency for corruption and intrigue.
An exodus of around 3,700 workers every day to find a living or better work abroad, not including hundreds or possibly thousands more leaving the country as trafficked or undocumented workers facilitated by un- scrupulous recruiters who have proliferated as a result of deregulation implemented by the Arroyo government.
There are around 12 million overseas Philipino workers abroad who have the tremendous capacity to remit the amount of US$13.3 billion every year besides an estimated additional US$3-4 billion remitted through informal channels.
Due to the feminization of poverty, more than 70% of the workers who go abroad for land based work are women. Many end up being little more than prostitutes while back home in manila there are over 500,000 prostitutes in the capitol, Manila. 18 year old women marrying men 70 years old is not uncommon, if the man lives overseas.
Twenty-nine million are forced to live on less than $1.50 a day. They cannot afford the school uniforms for their children to attend school. For the 2008 year President GMA has said to waive the school uniform rule due to the rising prices.
An additional 20 million live on less than $5 per day, and in June of 2008, that does not go very far. Especially with Gasoline over $5 per gallon.
Pork and beef has doubled from January 1, 2008 to May 29, 2008. Diesel fuel on May 24, 2008 was $5.02 per gallon and gasoline is close behind.
Their cloths have holes, they work in flip-flops, and barely make enough to keep from starving and some have starved.
Since a roll of toilet tissue costs 1/2 a day's wages they use their hands to wipe themselves. This results in feces under the fingernails, which kills their children. The injecting of feces is the largest killer of children in The Philippines Islands.
This is a true story that is a normal police activity for The Philippine Islands. Nothing unusual about what happened to this man while living in Angeles City, Pampanga province: Philippine Islands' Police Preying Upon Unfortunate Foreigners
The innocent usually do not pay girls that claim rape. The guilty always pay.
