Philippine News of 2004

Well, we had Presidential election here but unlike in the U.S it took weeks and several hearings and arguments before Supreme Court declared President Arroyo the winner. But some say the late FPJ was cheated hence he lost the elections.

A spate of storms hit the country resulting death and destruction especially in the Quezon province area. Illegal logging is being blamed for contributiting to the deaths of so many. Fernando Poe Jr's sudden heart attack and passing away left a void in the movie industry here. His politcal allies saying the fight will go on.There was good news for us though. Manny Paquiao won a title bout. It was actually te night FPJ had an attack.

I wonder what 2005 headlines will be. Destabilization and coup rumors probably.
