But just like in the US, change is sometimes a good thing for a country and its people. Evelyn,

I feel it is time for the people of the Philippines to stand up and look for changes. Evelyn,

Sure, I never go along the river or squatter areas. The only time I was nervous was waiting for a taxi on front of my home, a Jeep bumped into a motorcycle. It did not cause damage, but the motorcycle driver dropped his bike and walking up to where the Jeepney pulled over, he reached under his shirt and pulled out a gun. I hoped I would find a taxi before the bullets started flying. Steve,
