aftermath

one month after the election and still no end in the counting of votes for the presidency and vp post. and i think the government is now trying to recover from the expenses it incurred during the elections. just the other week i received an email from our accountant, asking me to file some papers at the internal revenue office stating that my salary does'nt exceed a certain amount so that my tax deduction would remain in the 10% mark. otherwise they have to tax me 15%. on top of that is the fact that the jeepney fare rate is now Php5.50 minimum.
perhaps the government could blame the rising global oil prices for the latter. but one can't help but think just how the government is spending our tax money considering that just before the elections a lot of billboards with the smilling face of 'you know who' has been foisted on the public. strange thing for someone who said that she won't run for the presidency.

now there's a new 'onli en da pilipins' saying:

...where a president can tell a barefaced lie, and still get reelected.


if she's a catholic, has she ever heard about 'confession'?
