WAKE UP ALL FILIPINO….
I saw this article from researching about Philippines news, going on…and I happen to run across an article that Danilo Reyes wrote and found that why do we still have somebody in the government that was part of the regime – the Marcos Regime? Now, a lot of filipino suffered and “disappeared” and were afraid in speaking out. I have endured many jokes in regards to this and to read this article on this person… it really disgust me that we’ve not learned our lesson. WE need to unite and stand together and speak out; let our voices be heard…I don’t’ want to end up like Cuba.!! Here is the article…

The other problem with our Philippine law is that, Filipinos are immune of conviction when they reach the age 70… Imelda, Joseph Estrada, one of the killers of Aquino are few examples.

Now, don't you think that its time to change this? Its ludicrous just because he's at an old age, doesn't mean he's untouchable of the crimes they've committed? Ridiculous! I am for change for the good of the people of the Philippines and not just for the well off…it has be to fair all around. We need to voice that we want change! Just my own thoughts…. 🙂
