Retirement, population statistics as well as garbage are exemplary views from our esteem kabaleyan from Chicago and the lady professor at UC Berkeley. All issues are germane to a leaky boat named MV Pilipinas.

Who might have known a woman who attended Georgetown University and other prestigious learning institutions, recipient of numerous accolades with a room full of citations and credits - can heap so much ruin to this boat she is steering? If she were a conductor of a symphony orchestra, it will be difficult when to know great passages of an overture as oppose to crescendos of torture. It seems each time she swing the baton, either the nursing industry or constitutionally elected officials get to suffer from the sour notes! She has found a new way to dissipate the ranks of the opposition. She must have suspended few students in her teaching heydays and now effervescently applying the same method against individuals critical of her recreant ways.

I recall one of her rejoinder during the early stage of the war drums against Saddam Hussein and I quote "Either you are a Filipino, or you are a terrorist!" (duh?) end of quote. I guess she must be over calling her critics termites, terrorist, destablizers and others. Today, she made it a lot easier without having to call names - 'Suspended lahat kayong ayaw lumuhod sa aking harapan' seemed to be the clear message. This in reality is benchmark of further ruin of institutions congruence of iron fist policies designed to cow Filipinos into total submission.

Question is, will Filipinos find the courage to say; enough is enough time for you to retire? Who was it who coined - "Democracy cannot flourish with uninformed public?" How true it is and for someone who should have hanged her gloves long ago, it is appalling how she continues inflicting pain and damage to the country and people reeling from 5 years of endemic corruption. Talk about garbage she is full of it.
