Yes that is a good idea but as we heard with the donations for Yolanda it does not seem to get used for the right purpose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and if you read any of the comments posted by Filipinos about this, they said that it's a good thing that former President Aquino is not in charge any more. I do not think President Duterte will pocket the money. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many pockets on the way up the chain of command. Do you think there will be any left for President Duterte? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
