Philippine politics and economics

[Soapy Smith]

Does anyone think that the monger scene will change, now that Joseph Estrada has been elected as mayor? We know that Alfred Lim had previously pledged to clean up the cities sex industry, which resulted in a few thinly disguised attempts at extortion against the night club owners (most famously the closure of L. A. Cafe). I simply wondered if we might see any changes with the change of Mayor, or is it just more of the same, with different faces?

There are numerous posts on this topic in the General Info thread beginning about May 13th.

Frenzy3: I love the Philippines. I have nothing bad to say about either the corruption in the Philippines nor the deteriorating (or not improving) economic situation. I just think that people should take this conversation out of " Chat Rooms & Pen Pals", where there is more about politics and economics than sex.

I have nothing against people posting their rants about the government in: http://www.InternationalSexGuide.inf...y-and-Politics And deleting this thread, but the " Chat Rooms & Pen Pals" thread is overwhelmingly not about " Chat Rooms & Pen Pals"." Chat Rooms & Pen Pals" is my favorite section of the ISG board, so I would like to see the discourse focus on the topic at hand.

Frenzy3: you have had a lot of good posts, but your posts on Filipino philosophy, the educational system, etc would be better placed elsewhere. By the way, no one has posted in the Philippines-History-and-Politics thread since October. It seems like a great place to highlight your observations as an ex pat.

This thread is to discuss issues such as the corruption that apparently is rampant in the Phils and the woeful state of economics there.
