Welcome to Gaia! ::

Who's Bayani Fernando? And what year are you in HS?

Just curious...I think you might be right. I guess...I just have a question.

In your opinion, who do you think was a better president?

Erap or GMA?

may tanong po ako...matagal-tagal na rin kasi tong
gumugulo sa isip ko...naalala ko lang ulit nung nabasa ko post ni flashpoint..

talaga bang MAY magagawa si gloria or any other
person dito sa Pilipinas tungkol sa pag angat ng presyo oil?

>>puff<<
Katsu tska flashpoint: San po kayo nag-aaral? sweatdrop

Since 95% of the oil we get is from imports from other countries (especially OPEC) we have to base our prices to the prices set by them. Pero "BASE" lang, in reality the different oil companies here can, in fact, change their prices wheter it is higher or lower than what OPEC has set.

Kaso nga lang, alam mo naman mga negosyante dito, basta makakita lang pera, kahit ano na gagawin kaya like everyday tumataas ang gas price. Pero, this is because the oil industry in our country is DEREGULATED meaning nasa kamay ng mga negosyante ang presyo ng langis at bawal maki-epal ang government. Pero may kapangyarihan naman ang Pangulo na i-repeal ang Oil Deregulation Law, para ang gov't na mismo ang magpriprice ng gasolina para naman makayanan to ng mga mamamayang Pinoy. Kaso nga, hindi to ginawa ni GMA kasi maapektuhan ang mga "friends" niya sa Oil Industry at baka mawaln siya ng "allowance".

But the truth is, the Gov't can in fact really affect gas prices kaya lang our president is too much concerned of too much free market and laissez-faire na dahil dito nagkakaroon na ng mga oil monopolies at the expense of the common Filipino.

((LSGH po, 3rd Year))

it's good to be opinionated at the early age... means your mature enough to understand and love the country... but being opinionated must have limitations... i wouldnt like to end up rallying on streets to show your opinions... it must be done in right way like voting @ elections according from your opinions... let the elected authorities (congess and senate) talk...
im neither Erap nor Gloria fan but i can't judge them since i just got our tfc connection just recently and didnt saw the Hello Garci thingy... i leave no comment on that...

OO nga!! Yun nga sinasabi ko eh DI NIYA KONTROLADO!! Kaya ngayon, yung mga oil companies ang magdidictate ng gas prices, at syempre dadagdagan nila to ng tubo para sila kumita. This is because of the Oil Deregulation Law. If the prices of oil was regulated by the gov't, siguro may kaunting baba pa ang presyo ng langis. Kaso nga business ang oil eh, at ang no. 1 priority ng isang business ay profits. Kahit maapektuhan ang lahat tao basta may kikitain sila ok lang.

But she has to power to repeal the Oil Deregulation Law. In the first place naman hindi na to nakakabuti eh kasi baka mag monopolize mga oil tycoons dito... at nangyayari na nga ngayon eh. Matagal na tong sinusuggest ng mga sectors na naapektuhan pero bat wala siyang imik man lang?

@ flashpoint

Well man you really are too opinionated for your age. Well, you may have opinions and yours should be respected as well. I used to be like you when I was your age and then I took up Psychology and now a graduate, I learned one thing... keep an open mind. You see, we are blinded sometimes by our very own opinion. Sometimes your reasons are only one sided and you only see your reasons and not other people's reasons. I took the neutral side on the Gloria Gate Scandal because of having an open mind BUT of course my being open mindedness has its limitations too you know. I am not for PGMA resigning. Why? First of all who would you like to be the next President? Well, I don't see anyone fit enough to do that by now. Second, the hello Garci thingy conversation I only have one comment on that: Where is the intent on cheating? Yes! Where? Yes PGMA asked if she would still lead by 1M. But she didn't state sige siguraduhin mo lang! If she said such a thing aba! Eh di siyempre ako magagalit din! Tama lang naman na tumawag sya sa COMELEC to protect her votes kasi malawakan din naman ang dayaan sa oposisyon e. E kung si GMA nandaya bakit may tawag ang oposisyon kay Garci? Aba! Eh di ang oposisyon pala may intent for destabilizing the government!!! That is the truth I see. Si Tatad daw ang source ng tapes. It was given to him daw by mail and this I heard him saying because I took a day off on my training and watched the hearing. He said that he didn't know who delivered the tape. The guy doesn't even know when the tape was delivered to him. Ok now he has the tape. Why didn't he show it to the authority and let the law take its course? Ha! Because he had a bigger plan! He lost during the last elections and he really felt bad about it. He said he should have won because people were dancing for him in the streets during his campaign. Eh bakit hindi sasayaw yung mga tao e yung political jingle nya goes in the tune of Spaghetti Song by sex bomb dancers. Natural sasayaw sila dun sa kanata at hindi para sa kanya. Anyway back in the topic, he said he didn't show it to the authority because baka hindi daw masolve yung case and kunin lng daw ng mga nakakakilala kay PGMA. Ano? Eh diba politician sya? Di ba ang politician maraming connections to prevent such things from happening? Hay. Eto pa. Si Atty Samuel Ong (Former NBI Chief) sabi nya he has the mother of all tapes and he even used the seminary as a sanctuary for immunity because he is afraid to die? Ano? Eh di ba nagtrabaho na sya sa NBI? These type of people were trained to eat deaththreats breakfast lunch or dinner! Ano kinakatakot nya? Ay! Ang galing na artista ano?! Ginagamit nya ag media para maawa sa kanya ang mga tao. Hay. Ewan ko ba sa kanila. Before these "detabilization situations" as I would call it, our economy was okay and PGMA was doing well. It is only NOW that it fluctuated because of these people trying to bring down a leader whome I believe is doing a good job. The problem with some of our people is they always expect something from the President and the government and what they could do for them. Di ba dapat we should expect what we could do for our country? Let us not expect to have everything coming from the government. The key to success in life is "LOWERED EXPECTATIONS! Oh it may sound funny but ITS TRUE! Yung mga witness sa jueteng probe, well I don't know if they were credible enough. They just don't convince me. You know being a Psychology Graduate I can simply look at how a person talk and see if she or he is telling the truth. They really don't convince me nuff said. I may sound like makaPGMA. Nope I'm not. I just want what's best for my country. GMA resigning is not her style and I respect her for that. The thing is, she already apologized even if she doesn't have to apologize for anything! It was her right to call a comelec official during that time and tapos na ang bilangan when the conversations happened. Hay. I don't know for the people who are in the streets. For me, CBCP made a good decision to gice the rallyist a time to think twice before shouting or banging their as of on the street. Unity is what we need. Right now our people is divided. Open mind people. Open mind.

Sa tingin ko, ayaw nila tanggalin ang oil deregulation dahil nakakasakal ng alakal ang neo-liberalism...alam mo naman na pangit ang alakal ng Pilipinas, kaya ang paraan na tinuturing ni GMA ay laizzes-faire o business deregulation.

Tungkol naman sa huling talata mo at ang sinabi ng nanay mo, mali iyan at iyang nanay mo ay mas lalong mali. Paanong mapapabuti ang Pinas kung walang magbabago? Paanong magkakaroon ng pagbabago kung walang magsasalita? Paanong magbabago kung walang gagawa? o kung walang magsisimuno? Kailangan natin isagaw ang ating boses...at ipadinig sa mga namamahala. Mahina pa rin ang boses natin kaya kailangan natin ilakas ang ating isagaw. Kaunti parin ang ating mga kaanib, kaya kailangan natin magyaya ng madami pang mga kaanib.
