If it is going to be just another bureaucracy like ARMM, then we should forget this autonomy thing. I agree too that there should be extensive info dissemination and consultation to see kung ano talaga ang gusto ng tao. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Anonymous,<br/>Hehe. Nakakatuwa nga yung autonomy under the office of the president, naging under the direct control of whoever is in Malacanang. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Dean,<br/>Yup, we do need each other :-) But we still can be one nation even if some regions are autonomous. Hehe, isumbong kita kay Morris. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Nats,<br/>Good point. I think a lot of people don't like the idea of autonomy because it could open the gates for more corruption. As you said, nasa atin din ang pagbabantay. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Anonymous,<br/>Hehe, I think you expressed the sentiments of people who have voted twice against autonomy. Those who are proposing it kasi (i.e. politicians) have not shown themselves to be good examples of political integrity. <br/><br/>If wives (Mrs. Dominguez), sons (Elias Bulut), sons-in-law (James Bejarin), etc, etc, get to (or attempt to in the case of James) succeed their kin under the present set-up, what more kung may autonomy?<br/><br/>But then again, maybe autonomy will put an end to the budding political dynasties in the region. I really don't know. Thanks much. Hi Anitokid,

Hi Nats,
Good point. I think a lot of people don’t like the idea of autonomy because it could open the gates for more corruption. As you said, nasa atin din ang pagbabantay. Thanks.

If wives (Mrs. Dominguez), sons (Elias Bulut), sons-in-law (James Bejarin), etc, etc, get to (or attempt to in the case of James) succeed their kin under the present set-up, what more kung may autonomy?

But then again, maybe autonomy will put an end to the budding political dynasties in the region. I really don’t know. Thanks much.

after autonomy the next step for us citizenz is “Bantayan ang Pondo”…correct kasi na mas mataas ang pondo natin sa autonomy for 10 years basing in the previous bill, million million kada barangay but it is our duty din na bantayan kung saan napupunta….rather than we speculate negative things before it has made..mas maganda cguro, we speculate at bantayan kung saan mapupunta ang pondo…

I call it apartheid. As ole Abe said, either we shall all be slaves or we shall all be free. I think it is hard to accept that we are all negroes, and Africa is already far, far away, a vanished land that is unrecoverable, and unnecesary for for the real task at hand of building one nation, not separate dreams. The indigenous and the non-, need each other in the dap-ay. Lookit, even morris sleeps with his Mama...why would you have all the Igorots do the same? you call it autonomy. I call it apartheid.
