From: Girl’s (Marianneth Amper’s) suicide indicts Philippine anti-poverty programme
The World Bank, IMF and the U.N. will continue to aid and abet oppression and the undemocratic oligarchy in the Philippines. But we will all be judged by history. Facebook is the best thing that ever happened to civilization. We can no longer deny what is happening in the Philippines.
In Dec. 2007, the World Bank went ahead forgiving $16.5~ Billion debts of the poorest nations in Africa. (See Zero Sum Game of Global Finance Yet today there is still hunger and starvation in Africa. But it’s different now. It’s worse. We have Ebola virus that infected at least two health care workers in Dallas, TX.

“A child committing suicide because of hunger and poverty may be an isolated case, but Filipino families experiencing extreme hunger and poverty are definitely prevalent.“

“If you think this is bad enough, add the recent revelations in Bayanko, like the event in Malolos Provincial Hospital where cats have infested the hospital and eating the carcass of a dead newly born baby. Then add how they feed the patients by getting the carers to pile in a line to collect the food and if you are at the back you do not get any food at all.
Do you know patients die in bulk in these hospitals and with no post mortems, as no one cares, no one knows what causes their death. It could be Ebola, TB, HIV, it can be anything and there is no safeguard because it is the hospital for the poor.
Now the statistic shows that 12.1 million families consider themselves poor –SWS Q3 poll and 40% of workers live in illegal settlements. So what are we doing my Kababayans. We celebrate EDSA 1 for what? To lower the standard of living to this level and just allow this irresponsible government to continue this way.”
The Philippines was NEVER a colony. It is a U.S. territory just like Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the American Samoa. Be it in 1934 with the Philippine Commonwealth Law or the 1946 Republic there never was any referendum asking the Natives if they wanted to be stripped of U.S. Nationality.
