                    [Title] => Philippines: A report card / Agassi, Williams triumph
                    [Summary] => It was one of the stories you light upon when reading a foreign publication, and even if you knew what it was all about, it still hurt like all-fired hell. There it was the headline of Business Asia (International Herald Tribune) Monday "investors give Philippine leader  the thumbs down" Author William Pesek, Jr. (don’t know him from Adam) wrote in the lead paragraph that the Philippines economy "has slid toward the brink". Reforms are badly needed, he said, but "bold reforms do not usually come from Philippine politicians."

More and more critics are now taking dead aim at this columnist, more and more detractors. And that’s just fine. Except that almost all are missing the point. We Filipinos are losers in the only game that really matters – national survival. We are failing and failing miserably to extricate our nation from poverty and corruption. And it’s the kind of poverty that’s our portrait to the world – dire, dreadful, desperate, demonic.
