If Filipinos back home think this current government will be able to correct the looting that has gone since perhaps when government started ages ago they will end up disappointed.

They are the very same people that routinely steal peoples money. Power will switch hands, money will line up the pockets of those who rule, but still the people will remain poor.

The only real solution is for people to wrest power from these vultures not by election but by a genuine gathering of all the oppressed...a revolution.

My mom is a woman of short stature, had no university degree and was born out of poverty. Despite these odds stacked against her she was able to rise up to the challenge and turned Php50.00 capital to build her own little empire.

She owned and ran five sari-sari stores, two tailoring shops, a copra farm, a boutique, a tailoring shop and at one point a gold mine in Paracale. No small feat if you consider the many that would just wallow in pity under put under the same predicament.

This Mother's Day I pay tribute to my supermom, Rosita Jacob. Thanks Nanay for everything you have give us. We may have lost all the mini empire you have valiantly put up but lessons of your conquest are alive in my being and is my guiding light!

I love you!
