The money is in Asia and Philippines being strategically located and close to China, India, Hongkong, Singapore and other fast-growing Asian countries (not to mention great exporting relationship), I don't think Noynoy will be impeached. Impeachment happened to Erap once but it's not gonna happen again. Noynoy may not be a clever as Gloria but he's not completely an idiot. I'm not having optimism bias here but really, I now have a firm belief that this isn't gonna happen.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13213549216685201727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661834241378901427.post-89881510190853284092010-09-06T00:27:33.740-07:002010-09-06T00:27:33.740-07:00I enjoy reading your comments about Philippines. ...I enjoy reading your comments about Philippines.

Extremely corrupt and generally thought of as the worst president in the history of Phil. From what i heard from my gf. corruption will always be around. Pres.

I laugh at the veracity of the statements and saddened at how sometimes our government and its political system is ridiculously lame. However, whether it be because of optimism bias or just plain patriotism, I have a great hope for my country and its people. I have long been politically apathetic but having just started investing in stocks, I have become more aware and conscious of what's going on around me. These are pretty fresh views and sometimes we need outsides to step back and give us a better view of the forest instead of just several trees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
