You know the feeling this has never happened before. :th_thanx: Now the NPA is spreading and an uprising in Mindinao. Why whatever can be done. :as-if: Who besides me is just completly surprised by this turn of events? :thumbsup:It is more of the same old stuff, but since JDV was once an inside person, and what he says about her reasons for having to stay in power is very true, so that the opposition does not end up doing to her what the govt did to Estrada, every expat should be aware around June of 2010 because it might not be a good time to be in the country, and those in the country should probably lay low during that time.Remember that there will be no coming or going for a while, if it does happen, and IMO, the only way it will not happen, is if someone who is friendly to her gets into power. I know I sure would not like to be in hers and her families shoes, after the next president gets elected. I am not taking sides, just stating my thoughts on the issue.

Mike S Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Well take anything that Jose de Venecia Jr. says with a grain of salt .... after all he is running against her in 2010 ..... I really don't think that she would go that far ....... if so it is going to get pretty nasty here ... for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Laying low is my pastime. GMA couldn't get away with declaring martial law unless there was widespread chaos and near total economic collapse. But those things could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those things could happen.Yes and the economic collapse will be her fault as she is borrowing money they may never be able to pay back. So she will cause the collapse to enable her to stay in power. Sounds like a well thought out devious plan!
