emilyn Seeing many people - regardless of age, standing under the heat of the sun, just to enter free in either of the 2 TV rival network in the Philippines, ABS CBN & GMA is a great indicator that many people depend their lives on luck.

emilyn Mihopopcorn, I'm glad we have same opinion about Trillanes. But i think, if we present our ideas/opinions, we should only focus on the issues. I mean, junk the sarcasm and filthy words ... like pertaining to those who voted for Trillanes. Anyway, that's...

emilyn I agree with you. He (Trillanes) was elected senator. So, he knows the law much we knew it. And his acts were not according to law. If he wants change, he should be a role model. He should air his grievances on the proper forum. What he did was really a shame...
