To the “PLAYING WITH FIRE” columnist:

Mr. Duque attempted to start playing with fire against Mr. Pontaoe before he left for the CONUS months ago. Now there is not even smoke. What did your “DREAM TEAM” lawyers say about using the ECA law that you said you will use against Mr. Pontaoe? What is the relevance of that law in filing a case of libel? I hope that you file your libel case within the one year statute of limitation, Mr. Duque.

Nawala na ba ang susunod na kabanata tungkol kay Mr. Pontaoe at ibang kaso na naman ang binabangit mo ngayon? Or as James Bond frequently says “You must be joking.”

Many of the problems of the Philippines could be alleviated by encouraging the following: Over population can easily be controlled through ligation, vasectomy, the pill and other means. What is needed is that couples who live with each other, married or otherwise, be educated in birth control.

I am a Catholic and adhere to most of the tenets of my religion. The Church’s position on birth control is not one of them. I do not believe in bringing children into the world if you cannot afford to feed, clothe or educate them. There is nothing more pitiful than seeing a hungry child and parents who do not have the means to support him. Filipinos who have money should invest in the Philippines. I know Filipinos who, once in the U.S.A., forget where they came from and when they return act as if they are better than their former kababayans.

Foreign investment should be encouraged, not hindered. The imposition of regulations which are required by the government has turned many businesses away. Also, with the abundance of the natural wonders which the Philippines possesses, foreign tourism should be a top priority. The Philippines is a world class area for skin diving having areas teeming with sea life found nowhere else in the world yet there are no tours. Hundred Islands, Tagaytay, and other destination, again tourism is lacking. Manila is rife with world class restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Once again, there are no tours to bring in the all important foreign money.

Last and foremost. To put it bluntly politics in the Philippines stinks. What outside investor is going to invest his money in the Philippines with the political situation as it is? Who is going to bring his money into the country when T.V. stations are pressured to remove reporters from the air and sued and when the mayor of a major city is also sued because he, like the reporters, disagrees with first “gentleman” Mike? What person, corporation or country would be willing to invest in a country that they may perceive to be unstable because demonstrations are a daily occurrence in the nation’s capital?

‘Tis a pity that one of the most literate country in the world is also one of the poorest. Maybe, just maybe, the country and the government can get their act together.
