I admit it, yours truly is again guilty for not consistently making a bloghop! Oh geez, unfortunately, my son and I are still both quite sick.  What a luck! Anyway, I hope that everything will be alright next week because I am a blog addict! Yeah, it pains me not to bloghop, to comment and to create a nice blog. But guys and gals, I won’t let this week passed by without my weekly bloggery buzz (hehehe…addict talaga! ). For this week, I have chosen to showcase the Philippine online official news websites because I want to comment on the current issues at this time. Here are the things that caught my fancy while reading the news online:

1. Era of overseas migrant workers ending
Economic and political analysts are now making ‘predictions’ that overseas migrant working will gradually decline because of the U.S. recession. However, let’s face it, it’s just a forecasts so it has a tendency to become true in some aspects. Let’s just cross our fingers then.

2. Qatar needs 37,200 more OFWs
President Arroyo on the other hand assured to the Filipinos that there will be more jobs in Qatar. Jobs needed are in energy, petroleum, natural gas, hospitals, car dealerships, transportation, construction, heavy equipment, and retail industries. Could this be true? I don’t know guys as I now realized that everything our government declare is not usually true. So, I just hope again that the ‘assurance’ is not a ploy again to earn millions of votes of the Filipino people this coming 2010 election. Ganyan kasi nangyari sa pag-issue ng Philhealth noong 2006. Parang ipinain lang para makakuha ng boto.

3. US funding on hold due to RP corruption
I personally like the idea of The US Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC) for not providing Philippines with the much needed economic assistance. Yeah, MCC I do agree with you 101% that my dear country is evidently controlled by corrupt individuals. So, even if it pains me to see my fellowmen suffering,  I would rather support the ‘on hold’ status than to see these ‘hoodlums in robes’ pocketing the funds first to their ever fattening bank accounts. Sila lang naman ang nagke-care na walang pondo noh? Sa akin kasi, who cares? The much needed assistance doesn’t go directly to people anyway. Baka ipanggamit pa nila yan sa 2010 campaign. Hmmpft!

4. On this survey, it’s not perception
Wow, it seems that Malacanang welcomes the findings of the Social Weather Stations with so much delight nowadays because survey says that a number of Filipino households no longer regard themselves as poor and food-poor has decreased. Well, palace boys and girls don’t jump too high about the matter because it’s just a freaking survey! I bet that survey doesn’t count the homeless people around the metropolis and people from far-away provinces. Just my two cents here! Grrr… I can’t feel the progress talaga kasi.

And lastly…

5. Filipinos rally against rewriting the Constitution
I’m one of those people who doesn’t like the charter change. So, I agree with the rest that Arroyo must give a statement to the nation that she will not tamper the Constitution for her personal gain. But from the looks of it, nothing is being said at this point. Well, isa lang masasabi ko diyan, ayoko ng maulit pa yung iisang tao lang ang naupo sa gobyerno for 20 years. Hmmm,

Alright, these news rounds up my observation nowadays. Apologies for being a little political recently but I really can’t accept the fact that we are being merely treated as ‘subjects’ of these political personalities. Last time I’ve checked kasi, we are still a democratic country. However, how can I possibly feel that if those who governs us doesn’t even care?

George W. Bush is already leaving the White House but the transition process doesn’t excused him to slip away from the polls. Just recently, a new national poll conducted by Gallup suggested that President Bush is the most unpopular president since the ratings were first created in the late 1930s. In addition, CNN also reported that:

No other president’s disapproval rating has gone higher than 70 percent. Bush has managed to do that three times so far this year, says CNN polling director Keating Holland. That means that Bush is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate with a 66 percent disapproval rating.

So, what do you think guys and gals? Does the outgoing President deserves the rating or the Americans are just looking forward at Barack Obama’s leadership in the White House? Have your say!
