prices are high

its because of corrupt official esp the husbad of arroyo

It all goes back to oil prices. 35$ a barrel in 2005, now 140$ a barrel. That just isn't believable! India as a country is already poverty stricken. Now that prices of eatables have doubled, more people are not able to afford a single meal a day. Very saddening. :(

Its really disappointing that our country is ran in this kind of way and visibility of improvement is very bleak. Well, there are some people that didn't get, as you say, 'a good educational background' but, were still able to be well off with the achievements that they have accomplished. It really depends on one's determination on how they would place themselves in society. Well, for the current president or even the previous ones who weren't able to improve the status of our country, it would be best if they had focused on improving our country first before catering to every expectation of foreign investors. A bit complicated I guess but, wouldn't it be better if our country was really self-sufficient that the only kind that our country would be exporting to other countries for trade would be products instead of man power?

philippines has been blessed with a lot of natural resources, or resources in general. it is sad that it can never give the security its suppose to give for its citizens. its really sad but we all have to be optimistic. if we can't change our society, why don't we just change ourselves? our perspective? our attitude? we can't keep blaming the government for every misfortunates we have, it will never change. gloria will eventually end her term. even so, prices will still be high. let's just anticipate the worse.
