It's quite likely it's been removed, my friend. It's not the sort of thing people want to see published, after all. It incites trouble, and I fear it isn't in good taste; a bit like with Mylot's rules, it probably breaks some guideline. Brightest Blessings.

What do you mean it was removed? By the way, the blog I saw was in www.inquirer.net, a Philippine daily. Oh no, I wouldn't want to incite sedition and I think a vast majority if not all of my fellow countrymen will agree with this. You know the political situation in the Philippines. Politics is so dirty we would probably need all the bleach in the world to clean it or maybe not enough. My heart is bleeding, my soul is always in anguish when I see how these dirty politicians have turned my beloved country into.

Awwwwww hugggggggggs. I always see your country as a beautiful one. I know there is poverty in some places but I didn't realise it might be widespread. There's poverty here too, my friend, and our politicians aren't the cleanest in the world. Smile and walk right on past them. They're not worth your tears! xx

Well, the country IS lovely with all the palmed beaches, diving resorts, surfing areas etc, etc.. but the way our leaders run the country is very loathsome. But as it appears, politics, anywhere we are in the globe is never a good topic for conversation. I mean it doesn't lift the mood.

I remember this quote..i feel sad about it knowing that Former Manuel Quezon predicted that this will happen. which we believed has gotten worse since we were freed as a nation. much worse after the People Power Movement. not that i hate people power but people themselves become abusive and hunger for power and has cheat on the citizens so many times.

Yes, it was really a prophetic and regretful thing because the devil heard him and made his words come true. The People Power is a scam thing. I hate it because it has become the new trademark of Pinoys where it used to be a "Bayanihan". I love the latter one because it has so much positive influences.

It is very sad. You will get to realize it more when you are in another country and you get back home and see how things are going in there.

In hindsight that was a regrettable thing to say, but the issues they faces when that statement was made was totally different. Its easier to wrest power from animals after all.

Whatever the situation was, MLQ did make a stupid comment for the devil heard it and brought life to his words.
