Is the Arroyo government suffering from extreme case of insanity? Seemingly it is!
What on earth are the Arroyo government people thinking? Why would they give-away FOR FREE with full rights the use of hectares of Philippine soil the size of a full province for 50 years to a Japanese company in the guise of investment without concrete and solid mantle of protection on the part of the Philippines?
Oh sure, a few hundreds of Pinoys would benefit from it thru low-paying jobs. Sure, the country will gain some millions of taxes from it, but is this how a country makes money out of foreign investments? What is wrong with those idiots in the government? Free use of hectares of lands for 50 years? How insane can a government be? How would the country benefit from this kind of a monster deal?
Is it only me who saw a parallelism when the US government built military bases in hundreds of hectares in Philippine soil for 50 years FOR FREE? At least the US provided military aids in millions of dollalrs to the regime of Marcos, though those millions went straight to the secret Swiss accounts of the Marcoses. Now in this new "free use of Philippine lands Agreement", the only difference is that the Japanese will not be building military bases, but will plant coconut trees. Just the same, Japan will benefit from the agreement virtually FOR FREE! Whadafak is wrong with the Philippine government? I wonder whose secret accounts abroad will be fattened by this new shady transaction.
I can't imagine the Asian neighbors of Pinas much more Japan to provide such dubious agreement to any foreign investors, particularly in Japan where lands are so insanely freakin' expensive. Isn't it the job of any government to secure the interests of its own country and people before it provides unlimited access and rights to foreign interests?
Whatever sugar-coating and lies that the officers of the Pacific Bio-Fields Holdings Plc. are saying regarding the "free use" in 50 years of hectares of Philippine lands for their company's bio-fuel business, the government needs to review such one-sided agreement which may put the country in another scandal in the future.
Those morons and masters of grandstanding in the legislative houses must take a serious look into this issue instead of wasting their time and government money on irrelevant issues like the Hayden sex scandal.
God forbids, but if the Mayan calendar would be true as well as the lost quatrains of Nostradamus regarding their prophecy in 2012, I'd be thrilled to see all the corrupt Philippine government officials as well as the morons in the legislative houses to leave this planet ahead of everyone.
