Come on now. Let's take of the boxing gloves. The election is over and it is time to start thinking of the welfare of the Philippines and the Filipinos. No legitimate business will be willing to invest in the Philippines as long as the government remains unstable.
At the present rate of political unrest the Philippines will have the distinction of being just another "banana republic." Out of the five past presidents, two have been ousted and a third is on the brink of collapse.
Who gains? Not my average barangay kababayans. Only those rich enough with dollar bank accounts win. The peso drops and 1 million peso and can be bought for 18 thousand dollars. Unrest subsides and now that 1 million is worth 20 thousand. The pesos are then sold at a two thousand dollars profit. Now it is time to start the unrest again and make more profit. Who
gains? Not my fellow kabayans only the rich who are fomenting the unrest.Again, it is time to stop fighting and start working WITH each other to one again make the Republic of the Philippines the "Pearl of the Orient” WE CAN DO IT BUT ONLY IF WE HAVE TO WORK TOGEATHER
