    My answers:

    1. Not true. Balikbayans spend a lot not because they want to flaunt their dollars but because their relatives expect if from them. Filipinos have this mentality "ikaw ang taya" if they know you have the means. Moreover, these Balikbayans are here for RandR because they worked their a**es off abroad and they feel they owe it to themselves to enjoy life here with their families.

    2. True. But maybe you are a bit harsh about the percentages. There are politicians who are truly committed to serve also.

    3. True. Threatening P-Noy with excommunication is going overboard. I expect the Church to reconsider given the current social issues which I presume they are very well aware of.

    4. IRDK. Maybe the government has plans for that but lacks the money address the concern?

    5. For lack of statistical data, and just basing on observation, I would say it is True. The dragonfly is a rare sight nowadays.

    6. I agree with you.
