Yikes: "Filipino is worth dining for!" - GMA

Only less than a week after Cory's death, all of these reports came out (click to go to the original site of the reports):

- The President and her entourage dine in a high-class French restaurant in New York City called Le Cirque spending about $20,000 (Php 1 million) while poor Filipinos trying to make ends meet (students having only Php 50.00 worth a meal).

- First of Three Parts: Can President Arroyo explain her wealth? Gloria gets richer, fastest, beats Cory, Ramos, Erap by Malou Mangahas

- Part 2: Gov’t spends P45M on road to lot Arroyo sold for P42M

- Sidebar: The Foggy Financial History of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo


Will our country ever see light?!@#

CIVIL SOCIETY ACT 101

...Is a blog of a self-confessed "burgis." Unlearning it ("learning how not to be one anymore"). Trying hard (TH) to be progressive.

Anyway, all newbie activists and advocates have to start somewhere. I welcome all those who decided to make a difference and get involved, be it short term or long term. I welcome all of you to join my journey. Like you, I am still observing, studying and analyzing the issues around me.

My blog offers ways of getting started through issue-based involvements particularly on those issues where I am involved with - debt and public finance, but not only limited to these. I am sure to chronicle more issues as I become aware and engaged in them.

Moreover, my blog also features stories of my recent participation in mobilizations with the hope of encouraging you not to be afraid to join rallies/mobilizations, lobbying and education efforts.

I chose to be a part of change. I chose to be different. I chose to be where I am. Despite this, I struggle for balance in life. I want to look good all the time. I want to maintain my sweetness and caring attitude. I am tempted to romanticize everything, so on and so forth...a typical "burgis" attitude. It is so hard to let go and unlearn being a "burgis." But, why am I throwing myself into this situation? Because I am moved by my faith. As a Christian, I need to respond, it is my obligation to my Lord. It is what He wants me to do. If not, why am I here? He always puts me back on this track. And so I firmly believe now that Jesus is the first true socialist revolutionary despite all doubts of people around me. And this is also why, I am willing to give it a shot.
