Forbes 40 Richest Filipinos as of June 2012 ($47.43 billion total net worth)

For April 15, 2013: Twenty-five years ago, there wasn’t a single rich Filipino listed in Forbes Magazine. Never mind the fact that none of the 40 richest Filipinos as listed on Forbes Magazine have not invented, developed or discovered anything of commercial value. Never mind the fact that all their wealth could be traced by to mostly American invention or development. They never came here and robbed any bank though. Go figure.

The U.S. does not levy any tax on these 40 richest Filipinos. This makes establishing one’s own country very desirable. If oligarch-traitors, their children and now their grandchildren are allowed to have their own country, why can’t we?

Forbes 40 Richest Filipinos–Total Net Worth June 2012 – $47.43B

US trade deficit as of October 2012 $42.20B

Millennium Challenge Corp. Fund for the Philippines 5.0B

$47.43B $47.20B

I remembered where the $5 billion balance is to add to the US Trade Deficit column($42.2B + $5.0 Billion = $47.2 Billion)

As of August 2002 Millennium Challenge Corporation has set aside $5 billion for the Philippines. To this day this fund has yet to be released for lack of viable proposal.

Dec. 11, 2012 – According to this news the U.S. Trade Deficit as of Oct. 2012 is $42.2 BILLION. Whereas the total net worth of Forbes 40 Richest Filipinos as of June 2012 is $47.43 billion. So we need an additional deficit of $5.23 billion to close the ZERO SUM GAME OF GLOBAL FINANCE.This is quite an improvement since before I use to compare the net worth of the 40 Richest Filipinos with the budget deficit of one state only – California. It was always equal, a truly zero sum game.

California Budget Deficit $26.6 Billion++ as of 03-29-11
40 Richest Filipinos–Total NW $26.2 Billion~~ as of 03-09-11

As Prof. Hilton asked in 2004, how much donation did any of these Forbes 40 richest Filipinos give to the ANNUAL victims of typhoon, flood and mudslide in the Philippines?

I’m calling this the ZERO SUM GAME OF GLOBAL FINANCE – 5th Edition 12-11-12

The silence of the World Bank, IMF & the UN regarding the Philippines where news are in plain English is quite deafening.

Enrile says US $30-M military aid an ‘insult’ – May 7, 2012

http://www.tribuneonline.org/20120507/headlines/20120507hea4.html#.T6fojGx0GkE.facebook

Washington’s offer of $30-million foreign military financing (FMF) to the country made during a high-level meeting between the Philippines and United States’ Foreign and Defense officials is an insult.

That’s how Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile viewed the military aid promised to Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario and Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin, adding that it need not be sought by the government considering that such is a commitment made by the US under the Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT).

Malacañang, Enrile said, should not accept such offer.

“They should provide military equipment. (They should comply) not only with the MDT. They signed a military assistance agreement with the Philippines, so they should comply with it.

While Enrile would not highlight the fact that the US government opted to stay neutral in the Philippines’ tension with China over territorial dispute in the Scarborough Shoal, the reported offer to boost the country’s military capabilities came as an “insult.”

“If I were the Aquino government, I would say ‘thank you,’ I do not need your $30 million. We can provide that $30 million for ourselves.”

U.S. Purchases & Annexation from 1803 to 1899

“A lot of times, People don’t know what they want until you show it to them.”

– Steve Jobs co-founder, Apple Inc., May 25, 1998 -BusinessWeek

So here goes: In 1898, under the Treaty of Paris, the Philippines, along with Puerto Rico and Guam was ceded to the U.S. by Spain for $20 million ending the Spanish-American War of 1898. To this day, Puerto Rico and Guam are still U.S. territories.

Owner occupied lands are better cared for than rental properties. Non-paying occupants always trash other people’s lands. Now think of the Philippine economy, the annual disasters, maritime accidents, the ongoing economic depression and continued environmental degradation in the Philippines that started in 1946.

Finally, compare the environment of and standard of living in the Philippines on one hand and that of Puerto Rico and Guam on the other.

There are so many educators, historians and writers who do not distinguish between a purchase and an annexation. To my knowledge, the U.S. made only ONE annexation ever that is the Hawaiian Islands in 1898.

Here’s the list of Selected U.S. Purchase and One Annexation from 1803 to 1899 . It is from the WAIS post entitled Turkey and the EU; Mexico and the US (Bienvenido Macario, Philippines) 02-09-07 . Is there another archipelago on this planet called Philippines?

Dan Brown Calls Manila “Gates of Hell” / Girl’s suicide indicts Philippine anti-poverty programme

May 25, 2013

I would blame the poverty and misery in the Philippines on the oligarch-traitors who in 1946 insisted the Philippines is ready for independence and self-rule. They were and they are still selfish. As in 1934 when the Commonwealth Law was signed by FDR, no referendum was held to ask the natives of the Philippines if they wanted to give up their U.S. nationality and be independent. On 22 Oct. 1946 the U.S. Senate ratified the Treaty of Manila and granted the former U.S. Territory its independence. However the Philippines remained dependent on U.S. aid, loans via the World Bank and remittances by OFW’s (Overseas Filipino Workers).

The rest of the world including Christians in America do not care what’s happening to the Philippines. Now this:

“Manila—the most densely populated city on earth—Sienna could only gape in horror. She had never seen poverty on this scale. How can one person possibly make a difference?

For every one person Sienna fed, there were hundreds more who gazed at her with desolate eyes. Manila had six-hour traffic jams, suffocating pollution, and a horrifying sex trade, whose workers consisted primarily of young children, many of whom had been sold to pimps by parents who took solace in knowing that at least their children would be fed.”

Meet Marianneth Amper who at 12 yrs. old lost all hope due to grinding poverty and committed suicide on Nov. 2, 2007.

My question: Do you think Asian, European pedophiles coming to the Philippines would find her attractive? How much do you think she’ll be sold for in the “horrifying sex trade” in Manila. It’s a good thing Dan Brown’s novel Inferno set in Manila is just fiction, whew!

HAPPY F^&*+ING MEMORIAL DAY!!!

Here’s an excerpt from an old WAIS post before Marianneth killed herself.

“I am not totally against the Kyoto Protocol. TOTALITARIANISM, EXTREMISM and INDIFFERENCE will be the three roots of man’s problems in the 21st century. We just have to be relatively on the same page. But the Philippines is not yet ready for self-rule. It is difficult to argue that after 60 years of failing to develop, the Philippines as a whole should be allowed to maintain the status quo.”

Below is Marianneth Amper who at 12 yrs. old lost all hope due to grinding poverty and committed suicide on 2 Nov. 2007. My question: Do you think pedophiles coming to the Philippines would find her attractive? How much do you think she go in the “horrifying sex trade” in Manila. It’s a good thing Dan Brown’s Inferno is just fiction, whew!

Meet Marianneth Amper, the “Anne Frank” of the Philippines, a 12-yr-old girl who had lost all hope to grinding poverty & committed suicide on Nov. 02, 2007.

Days after Mariannet’s suicide, police investigators recovered under her pillow a diary and a letter addressed to a public service television programme asking for a new pair of shoes and school bag, and steady jobs for her mother and father.

In the last two entries in her diary about two weeks before she took her life, Mariannet lamented that she and her brother had been absent from school and they could not go to church because they had no money for fare and their father was suffering from a fever.

‘It seemed as if we were absent from school for a month now,’ she wrote in her diary. ‘We don’t count our absences anymore. I hardly noticed that Christmas is fast approaching.’

The Amper family is just one of millions of impoverished households in the Philippines still waiting to feel the benefits of an appreciating peso against the US dollar, the fastest economic growth in 20 years and increasing foreign investments.

According to United Nations data, more than 50 per cent of the Philippines’ 88 million people live on less than 2 dollars a day. A nationwide survey conducted by a local polling firm in September also showed that 21.5 per cent of Filipino families suffer involuntary hunger, up from from 19 per cent in November 2006.
