I think, unfortunately, you are correct that too much time and effort will be wasted with in-fighting to allow real progress to be made for Filipinos. This country needs strategic vision and rolling up of sleeves and good old fashion elbow grease! Time for the Pols to stop playing games of ego and pay attention to the lives of 90 million people. But the bottom line is it needs to be Filipinos who drive the direction and not outsiders who own all the major banks and businesses and pull the strings. The Pols are just creating chaos and confusion to distract while other "business" goes on as usual, as intended by those really pulling the strings.
