                    [Summary] => As the Beatles sang… I read the news today oh boy… The Philippines is now No. 1 most corrupt country.


Of course any self-respecting Filipino might be a bit insulted and feel compelled to say it’s exaggerated.

To begin with, most of those asked don’t live here and they compare things relative to more developed countries. They might even be culturally unaware of how and why we do certain things.

That is always the problem between the SENSITIVE and the NUMB.

[Summary] => The latest news from the office of the Ombudsman is that a thorough investigation is on the way concerning reports that emission testing centers are not really testing vehicles.

HELLO?!!! That Ms. Ombudsman is not news. But if you’re going to investigate these so-called independent centers, would you also like to investigate who really owns them? And while you’re at it, will you please check the drug tests, the medical test, the eye test and find out who owns them?
