Is this Martial Law?

MANILA, Philippines -- Now a net has been cast for a supposed employee of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT).

Director General Avelino Razon, chief of the Philippine National Police, Tuesday said it was heeding the request of Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez to check the identity of a man wearing a yellow PLDT uniform “shouting invectives” against the Arroyo administration on Nov. 29 last year.

The man was purportedly caught on video by ABS-CBN network urging onlookers to join the walkout from a Makati courtroom and the subsequent holdout at the Peninsula Manila hotel by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and junior military officers.

The Department of Justice had earlier asked broadcast networks to turn over their video tapes of the Nov. 29 events.

I think so. They can't just ask the media to turn over video footage because they wanted to. This should be a free country. A country where everyone is allowed to speak, where everyone can video tape public happenings and it is not the governments business to ask for video tapes. They are not doing a good job of securing individuals like the Magdalo soldiers but yet, they keep on investigating and asking for the tape. why now improve the security everywhere first rather than you guys keep on dwelling on the past.

Yes, they have improved security on Trillanes. Did you know what happend yesterday then? isn't that a public office?

Shame on the Philippines. One of the most corrupt in ASIA!

The Philippines is the 131st most corrupt country in the world, tied with Burundi, Honduras, Iran, Libya, Nepal Yemen, according to a survey released Wednesday.

Berlin-based Transparency International said in its annual Corruption Perceptions Index covering 180 countries that some of the world’s poorest nations were seen as having the most dishonest political and business elites.

In Southeast Asia, three countries were perceived as more corrupt than the Philippines–Indonesia, number 143; Cambodia, at 160; and Myanmar, the second-most corrupt, at 179.

Only Singapore made it to the top 10 least corrupt in South­east Asia.

I keep on thinking there would still be a chance for the Philippines. Until now, I still think the same way. I just try to do good myself and hope other would follow. But, it is already quite impossible to immitate singapore, which is in the TOP 10 least corrupt countries.
