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

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.

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.’

How could Washington DC let this happen? We have been throwing billions of U.S. taxpayers’ money at the Philippines since 1946. 

“You cannot negotiate with people who say what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is negotiable.” –  JFK July 25, 1961 during the Berlin Crisis  Why don’t I throw this into the mix, as a warning perhaps? “Diplomats are useful only in fair weather. As soon as it rains they drown in every drop.” – Charles de Gaulle 

Why do we need a Native American president? I do not see any working solution coming from either party. Regardless who wins in this presidential election, the country would even be more divided.  There is huge rift between the left and the right; between the Democrats and the GOP.   

The United States of America is no longer united in the true and effective sense of the word. Our leaders themselves are saying political divisiveness has reached a tipping point. We should postpone this election.
