shocking news to all filipinos

that is really shocking. i am not surprised that the arroyo family can do that if it is true. i hope their reign stop and i hope they meet their karma soon.

So, who did you vote then??? Shocking? i have seen that two months ago, as such articles are posted always in the fan page of richard gordon. probably it's just there to make us nervous not to mention we haven't heard anyone filing a case against Gloria Arroyo. am sure she might get a way from it again Why should I be shocked?! that's why i had to vote for Gordon because of these Issues and only people are now digging with these issues where me and other volunteers had dig this issue since we started criticizing arroyo and other candidates.

I've seen that article months ago. What have I done about it - I voted for the right person. What can I do about it now? - Nothing, I guess. I just hope and pray that this article, if true, be seen by people who can actually make a difference. Like senators and congressmen and such. Now, I think it's slowly materializing because our soon to be president promised to go after the Arroyo family and make them pay for their atrocities. I just pray that what he says is true and he delivers.

if this is of any truth, i really pity us. we're a great nation, but the people in the position are hungry for money to the extent of depriving the Filipinos their right to fair treatment. there should be a serious screening and certain qualification before one can run during elections. why is this happening to our country? it makes me angry hearing things like this. what a sell-out. =(

Consider the source and take his statement with a grain of salt. The government has always been manipulating the exchange rate. That is one of the sore points between the Philippines and international financial institutions such as World Bank. I am not really surprised, the government, any government will do everything to protect its own currency value. It's the government at work. It's how international financing institutions rape our country and this is the government's way of stopping these institutions. As for the news on the Arroyos, come on, its clearly black propaganda. No source? That's hearsay. You cannot just accept everything at face value. I am not a big Arroyo supporter and like everyone else, believe the allegations of corruption, but I do know that accusations are not evidence.

This is a bad news for all filipinos who are earning dollars. This should be dealt for a proper investigation. Imagine that all over this years, the government is manipulating what could have been a good earnings for all the people with one thing in their mind,"to earn monney".

Well not shocked with it anymore. I think this has been a known fact before and until today there is really no real action against this. I hope the incoming administration will look into this and not join the existing system.

Well, Ive read this news before and If this is true then we should be alarmed. Lets pray that this is not true

I am not sure exactly if it is all true because the foreign exchange is very hard to manipulate since it is not hidden from the public. There's also an appropriate sanction if it will be manipulated. Though I detested the Arroyo regime because of its direct involvement to graft and corruption controversies, it's difficult to comprehend if they will gone too far with their greed by manipulating foreign exchange. This is a serious allegations that must be brought to concerned agencies and personalities. Why this did not appear in national news?

F U C K arroyo

I'm not shocked that Mrs. crocodile Arroyo was doing some hocus focus on the money that should only be for the Filipinos and not for that crocodile's family. I mean, she must definitely be ashamed of herself on what she's doing. She had a lot of bad and evil schemes to be rich or rather be the richest. She actually used her intellect not for helping the Filipinos but to manipulate the Filipinos. This is actually a big reason why Filipinos would rather prefer having an honest president rather than an intelligent one. God bless the Philippines and the Filipinos in the coming administration!!!

OMG that's all i can say..That's really shocking Gloria is really good, she's really brilliant and that only proves her Excellency as the President of the Republic of the Philippines....Clap Clap hehe

just read it, all i can is "what!?". I dont know if that is true, but if that article is really true, then we are all screwed

I've read the article supposedly quoting World Bank and I have to say it doesn't sound like World Bank at all. It's too speculative. Regarding dollar exchange rates, the government (ANY government for that matter) can and should influence it with institutions like the Central Bank to protect the nation's financial stability. As for the lotto fraud, I don't think it would be that easy to manipulate the outcomes especially when all the balls are weighed and measured every draw. I do believe proper, unbiased, and due investigation should be done by our incoming administration for all the corruption allegations against the Arroyos. And for us, fellow Filipinos, let us promote hope for our nation!
