Mr Lee Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I found this to be an interesting read since it points out many of the problems the Philippines is facing and why. It also points out what the current president is facing to try to turn the Philippines around. So many failed or unfinished projects and so much money wasted. A new book by a crusading journalism organization details some of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s biggest fiascoes The nine-year presidential reign of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is a depressing litany of major infrastructure and other projects and agencies that ran into trouble because of political interference, corruption and or bad planning, and missed opportunities to move in the right direction.None of the scandals are new to the Philippines’ energetic press. But they are outlined in considerable detail in a new 130-page investigation called Seven Deadly Deals from Newsbreak, a Manila-based team of reporters and editors, and made public earlier this week. The eight journalists involved in the project devote a full chapter to each of the seven episodes.The complete story HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
