The Malacanang Palace
The official residence of the President of the Philippines. The highest position of the land.

   I watched Reporter's Notebook last night . That was an old documentary reports and their expository information opened my mind. On the things that seems we dont care but it has relevance that affects us directly or indirectly somehow.
   The things that made our heart saddened is the constant corruption that happends in our country.
   Commission on Audit (COA) stated the total expenses of Malacanang in 2006 reached to P2,360,211,050.53 personal expenses alone hit P533,153,699.57. Over P7 million a month budget for food only, Annual budget of P18,522,701 water expenses,P64, 868,464 electric bills,P15,708,481.55 telephone bills,P11,474,706 cellfon bills,P398,447,538.30 foriegntrips, P83,629,357.29 on the local trips with the total of P 482,076,940.59 total trip expenses in 2006. If you think about those figures well you will think how luxury living they have inside the palace using public funds.
   A few distance from the palace is a contrast picture of luxurious living. A picture of poverty. Number of squatters grow like mushroom and multiply very fast.
   Usec Gil Beltran said RP budget deficit reached to P 876 Million daily. The office of the President made an Administrative Order 103 directing the continued adoption of austerity measures in the government. She promised to set herself as an example but how if her office herself violates those rules? A total of P615,293,968.80 unliquidated expenses that the COA wants her office to explain.
   On December 2009, our total debt from the World Bank reached to 5 trillion pesos which means every filipino has a debt of P54,347.
   Well many said the Philippines is very rich country. It is true. The Philippines is blessed with natural resources. Mindanao is the worlds biggest coco oil exporter.

   In April 2005 huge deposit of oil and natural resorces have been identified in at least 3 areas in Mindanao. Its the world's largest deposit of deuterium ( Hydrogen fuel) that the other countries dont have.

   Canadian petrolium engineers illustrated in 1985 the extent of fuel deposits underneath Butuan City is the source of all petrolium deposits of the world.
   9 million hectares are high potential sites for copper,gold,nickel,chromite,etc. If mining projects will be implemented properly, a total of 70 tons of gold and copper production will reach to 500k tons annualy by 2013.
   The Philippines is the epicenter of marine biodeversity with the richest concentration of marine life of the entire planet. Our soil is very fertile and , abundant rain and sunshine.

 But its very heart breaking to think about the present condition in the Philippines.
-70% of filipinos are landless.40% are urban squatters in Metro Manila.
-Most killings in 2004 according to Guinnes Book of Record.
-World's most dangerous to journalist overtaking Iraq after the Maguindanao massacre.
-Top 8th in the Worldwide pornography.( source: Reporter's Notebook 3/12/09)
-RP the least peaceful country in SouthEast Asia.
-A country lead by the thieves.
-Nation of servants.
-5th in the World's hunger survey.
- 30% un employment rate.
   The present condition of our country pierced our heart. The question is are we lacking wise leaders? We tried all.. Lawyer, teacher, general,actor, economist but still we are drowned in poverty and debt. Maybe the real causes is that we allow into office to lead us those people who does'nt have  fear in the Lord and lack of compassion to the poor.
   I appeal to all of you my dear beloved. This coming election choose wisely. A leader that has a ginuine heart to serve. This is our last window of opportunity to be release from the bondage of ignorance and bring back our dignity..
