"President Arroyo is said to be praying everyday but it always seems to be done in front of cameras. Praying is about facing the truth, but is she facing the truth?" Praying is about penance. When she said 'I am sorry( in connection with the Hello Garci scandal), is that penance? Penance is about returning what you stole and healing the damage you've done." Fr. Robert Reyes (Running Priest).
"Corruption in government is so brazen and so blatant,Philippine economy is so brittle. If you love your country, you will work for change regardless of your station in life.

Perhaps its also because people think that no matter who replaces the president will just be as vile.
Im disappointed in our current crop of leaders. Most are as despicable as satan and they have the nerve to act at praying.
happyjoe, this truism we cannot ignore: "we get the leaders we deserve."
If we are not happy with our crop of leaders, we are part of the cause of our unhappiness.
