Hey friends, I’m back. How are you guys?
I can’t believe I’m done with 25 books as of last night, an eclectic mix of historical fiction, paranormal stories, a bit of romance, book of poems and thrillers. It is about 16% of my goal of 150 books this year. At the moment, I am reading another book by Isabel Allende entitled The Japanese Lover. It was set during WW II. I’ve read about three of her books, I love her writing style. She is a Chilean-American novelist.
Yes, I am updated with what is happening around in our political midst. I don ‘t know why but the Commission on Election who is tasked to take charge and also protect our voters in the whole country is favoring one presidential candidate. So obvious. The other day along with the Phil. National Police, they started removing tarps and repainting murals done by the youth who favors VP Leni. And mind you even if they were done and posted in private places and residences. There is no existing law preventing private citizens from posting those tarps and making murals as long as they are not participants of any political party. It is the citizens’ right protected by the Constitution. COMELEC, DO YOUR JOB. The commisioners of this government body are all political appointees from Davao where duterte hails. His daughter sara (without an h) is running as VP of marcos junior.
As it is, the opponent keeps lying and he insists that he is an economist but the truth is, he failed at Oxford and only spent a year there. He was kicked out. Economics is a difficult course. Lots of Statistics. Labour Economics, International Economics, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Econometrics and Financial Analysis are just the few of the subjects you learn from the course. I should know, I majored in Economics.
I wanna say one thing: LIES NEVER TRIUMPH IN THE MIDST OF TRUTH.
Well done with your Goodreads schedule Arlene … but as for your political scene, confusion always seems to be prevalent

There is no one more qualified to be prèsident than our VP Leni. Her opponent is a liar even capitalizing on the marcos name. There is nothing to it except bame recall of his father, a former president. They left the coffers of the Philippines empty when they left for Hawaii back in the world famous EDSA Revolution
in 1986.

He is taking the blame for the mess Trump left behind I fear. He is trying to keep his head above water.

At least he is not corrupt. Almost everyone here in duterte’s government is, by the millions and billions even. He has appointed his cabinet all from Davao. Of course they are loyal to him. A friend always say “inferior Davao”.
