[GasJunkie]

Faith is good as long as it's not blind like justice.

hindi tlaga tyo bagay magkakasama

i think we will be better of kng mag kanya kanya tyo!

tignan nyo lahat ng pasaway nandito sa central manila

kng mayor o governor ka sa south o north damay kyo

sa lahat ng utang namin at gulo namin

di ba unfair yun

tpos dudugasin pa namin natural resources nyo

dapat mag secede tpos lahat ng utang iiwan sa maynila

so you will have a frsh start

i think dats fair enough

tutal wla naman kyo gaano napakinabangan sa inutang ng gobyerno dito sa manila

Or maybe you mean politics and religion should never mix.

Business and politics do mix often. If you are not in good terms with the government, you're not likely to get any tax breaks or incentives for your business in the Philippines. And besides, investments in the country are influenced by government policies. You cannot simply ignore the government and the politics behind the government when you do business in any country.

Now, RELIGION .... that's a totally different ballgame. If the church leaders are unable to choose priests who turn out to be gay pedophile maniacs, how can they even endorse a person to be the right president for the country? They should stay away from politics.

Mahirap talaga kapag politics and religion na ang pinag uusapan. Syempre iba ibang religion, iba ibang patakaran. Sa totoo lang, nung campaign period, ang mga pinakamagagandang sagot sa mga issues sa tingin ko lang ha, ay yung kay Bro. Eddie, saka may mga sinasabi siyang mga plano talaga hindi imagination hehe. Kaya lang mahirap talaga siya manalo kasi leader siya ng religious group. Baka naman sabihin ninyo baka magka grupo kami kaya maganda sinasabi ko tungkol sa kanya, Catholic po ako, Born Again ata siya or Protestant.

with that kind of attitude & logic from the sworn leader of the country's premiere financial district, baka matalo na ng Ortigas ang Makati, hehehe.

.. having Ortigas beat Makati might be the only way to get Binay out of Makati ..

You are getting it all wrong...

In our constitution... it is stated that state & religion should be separated. The reason? So that the state's laws are not only geared for a particular religion - but for others as well with different beliefs (whether an atheist, Buddhist, Muslim, etc). But it does not mean that the religious sector cannot endorse or influence the decision of the state or even an election... as a bloc (and a powerful one) they have the right to do so. Think of them as just another business sector / bloc.
