Art2ro Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 WOW! I had no idea. Could be the start of a new Philippines? That is a good sign that the present President in office is cleaning house! Hope he continues to do so and also make the lives of the poor a little better now and or in the near future! :dance: :o :o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candyman Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I follow the news in the Philippines very regularly, and it is a fact that there seems to be a lot more stories of corruption surfacing now than ever before ! The amounts in some cases are absolutely astounding, and shows just why the Philippines could not get ahead in the past ! The new broom of Noy Noy is indeed sweeping right across the board, and I for one, hope it continues ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
