protesting corruption

and no, I haven't heard of any demonstrations here in the Philippines for Cnarlie Kirk. 

Here the left defends the working class and farmers and the right means the corrupt oligarchy who runs the country whereas in the USA, the right defends the working class and farmers, and the left is full of elite white folks who run the country and have little contact with those of us who got our fingers dirty working.

 Right now the demonstrations in Manila are agaist corruption in the flood control projects.

Corruption steals millions of pesos that are supposed to help the public, and alas corruption is the norm. Will this investigation stop it?

well, as my husband Lolo used to remind me: They're all crooks. But that never stopped him from watching attempted impeachments against our lovely ex president for corruption.

And the monsoon rains are heavy, which means flooding of streets in Manila, so schools are shut down again today.

Joy is flying out today to attend an agriculture conference in Thailand, and will spend the rest of the week visiting her daughter who teaches English there in an international school.
