hi senator, keep up the fight for filipino in a subtle way, well appreciated sir… you don’t need to be rhetoric compare to other politicians out there, more talks but no accomplishment. how i wish the political maturity of every filipino shall be widely opened soon inorder for them to know that those maingay are those walang silbi sa pwesto. actions speak louder than words, however sir in your plans for 2010 election you must start designing your plans and see to it the projects and programs you have are better explained to the masses, you know few people understand the essence of VAT(those implementing rules and the laws you are working into). knowing VAT (and taxes as a whole) is not just a novel to read and enjoy but need expertise and thorough understanding, your programs should be better explained in layman’s understanding. Taxes and livelihood and basic needs of the filipino people are very sensitive issues to tackle, just be cautious and see to it every detail is explained to them and they be able to comprehend…. a little suggestion lang po. madaug ka guid na, basta namia guid imo plata porma de gobyerno, paintindiha lang sila maayo sang imo programa kag handum para kay juan de la cruz! God bless and good luck….

Dear Mr. Mar Roxas,
Ngayon ko lamang po napag-alaman sa pamamagitan ng isang Thel De Leon (supposedly cousin nyo) na kayo pala ay related to Dr. Felix De Leon ng San Miguel, Bulacan. Sa amin pong baryo (San Agustin, San Miguel, Bulacan) ang inyo pong lolo ang pinaka-prominenteng tao duon at kilala bilang isang pilantropo at napakabuting tao.. In fact a small bust of him was constructed sa harapan po ng aming eskwelahan named after him (Don Felix De Leon Memorial School)…
Mabuhay po kayo Sir, alam ko po ang kabutihan ninyo at ang inyong pangarap na maupo sa pwesto bilang isang pangulo upang lalong makatulong sa ating maraming kababayan.
Kung nuon po ay nagdadalawang isip po ako na bumoto sa inyo dahil sa dami po ng mga presidentiables natin, ngayon po ay wala na po akong pag-pipilian mo.. straight MAR ROXAS na po ako ngayon kasama ng aking buong pamilya at mga kakilala dito sa Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Pagpalain po kayo ng Poong Maykapal.

I am very disappointed Mr Senator that you have the guts to write “m happy for them; theyve escaped their default destiny had they stayed.”. given the fact that you are eying for the highest post in the land and you are here posting that your friend escaped their default destiny. You should be the one telling your friends that there is still hope in our country. Why do you also think that our country is like an island jail like Alcatraz?

Mr Sen, dont be like ABS-CBN, they only broadcast negative news well in fact, everytime I go to the philippines for business, i can see a lot of hope. ABS-CBN should not be allowed to broadcast. They are destroying our country and they are using their power for their own benefit. If we think that Philippines is our mother land, then why do they always talk trash to our Mother. That is not even close to the known pilipino culture. Let us be positive and work hard and help the our country.

How can OFW can help our country. several suggestions.

1. continue to send money to love ones.
2. when we go home, avoid bringing in balik bayan box. spend your money in our country. that will help our economy. Imagine, if there are 50 balik bayan per airplane from the US. that is 100 balikbayan boxes. if each box , you spend $200, that is $20,000 per plane per day. 3 planes per day $60,000 x 30 = $1.8 M per month. or P81M. Imagine if these people will spend their $400 in Philippines to buy corned beef, towels, chiz curls (typical contents of balik bayan box), that is how much our economy is loosing. So Mr. Sen, create a law that will incent OFW to spend their money in our country like tax rebate if you are balikbayan. rebate the VAT if they spend money. rebate it at the airport like GST rebate program of Singapore.
3. talk positive about our country. Promote our country.
4. Be proud to be pilipino. The problem with pilipinos is they dont want to be called pilipino. They want to show off their Australian or US passports. Get real.

So Mr Senator, I think you can help to make our country a better place to live. Be positive, give hope to people.

Comment on Join the Virtual Rally Against VAT on Oil by jojo

Why is it that pilipino’s love to go to rally or to start a rally when they disagree on something. In fact that is the reason why we alway have rally, with 80 million pilipinos there will never be a policy that all of the population will agree on. why cant the people who make use of these action for their benefit like media, media consultants etc. try to look at the positive side of things. Why is it that negativity is always visible to these people. Especially the media, Channel 2 in particular, they only broadcast negative views. a whole hour of news is all about negative. So being the “number 1″ broadcast station, what will you expect from the people, negative in then negative out.

So Mr Mar, if you think being negative is a way for you to win the election, maybe you are wrong. there are so many way to object or criticize thing and put a positive twist. Dont you think that our people deserve to here positive points of view? Enough of the negative. Give our people hope, hope to progress and encourage them to work hard and not just hope for a response SMS from deal or no deal or other game shows.

I think you can be a good president but let us not waste the votes of those who believes in you.

Sadly, this has become a common occurrence. Family members and friends have left in search of greener pastures. What makes it worse for me is that they seem to have lost hope for our country, that’s why they are leaving. What do you think you can do to change this?

very true, what was said… i am no longer based in the philippines, though had i been given better opportunities i’d have stayed. i know i owe it to the country to work there, what with being one of the “iskolar ng bayan”, and for the time that i could afford to, i did. i worked for the government for seven years receiving meager pay and working my ass off for the university, for community immersion projects, the pahinungod, doing my best for students, para sa baya, ika nga– it felt good. it was so fulfilling and rewarding in a very non-tangible way. but i am now having a baby and things change. my husband and i could never give our son a decent life if we stayed employed within the acedeme of our country…. we still do our old work here and we enjoy it (but honestly, i’d like t more if i was doing it at home), and we can ensure a brighter future for our son… leaving just had to be done… bittersweet as it is.

Comment on Esperon should be removed by Louie Bryan M. Lapat

Louie Bryan M. Lapat — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 09:10:49 +0000

Senator Mar,

I fundamentally agree with you. Mr. Esperon should be removed from office. I think that he is a wrong choice for the position. I am from Mindanao, but is far from the war-ravaged areas. I am from Davao del Norte. I love Mindanao despite of the bad image it gets from the media. I dream that someday we will all wake up one day with peace i our midst.

I know that wouldn’t be possible if Mr. Esperon is still on the post. And GMA, too.

When will this be realized? I hope it’ll be soon.

For decades, our land has been called “The Land of Promise.”

Can we make it “The Land of Fulfilled Promises,” not broken ones?

Respectfully yours,

LOUIE BRYAN M. LAPAT
