being abroad to me means you work for your money the old fashion way.
you earned it. you work for it. NOT FROM PANGURAKOT and any other
way. i hope MAN YOULL STOP MAKING UP STORIES.
you probably needs zoloft + prozac now
the issue is not about how you got your money. it’s about how you can accurately asses what’s happening in this province. No one cares how much you have.
Geez. You’re the one making up stories with all your down the drain comments as if it’s something you really have personal knowledge about and I’m just setting the records straight.
I don’t need Zoloft I already took two Prozac. Perhaps you need to go easy on crack.

@ Kaloy I’m not overweignt I’m morbidly obese. Ahahah. No one cares about your motions as we are not using parliamentary rules here. Read or go back to grade school cause you need to.
I’d always choose fat than being utterly stupid.
@ Epic. Ahaha. Is that the best rebuttal you have? Nyahaha. Ahaha Thank you for letting me turn the best of you into a million little pieces.
Don’t you have anything else to say related to the topic? Ahaha. Oh I remember, you can only do one liners. How sad.
@ Kaloy again. You tell people to ignore me but you still make comments about me. Walk the talk and learn proper grammar while you are doing it.
@bendz

Wow, @Bendz G., relax dude.. hehe..
@the author, well.. I was shocked with this line “He added that he was happy how Gibo handled the Maguindanao massacre.”
–is this true?? wow.. that sound interesting..
@ bruce dude! why are YOU so fuckin’ awesome!? are both your parents retarded? ’cause you are very special! Nyahaha.

Ahaha. No one here really cares about you. You can make up a lot of stories all you want but the bottom line is you’re still a coward who hides behind a fake name fearing the political leaders of this province even though you are outside the country. I may be fat but I have balls of steel. Ehehe.
I’m proud of my upbringing and even more proud to know that young as I am I can still get into your nerve. Hehe. Ah age is not really a guarantee of wisdom, is it?
mura ug naglami ang estorya dire da.
Sa mga unang comments ni 7 millinium, nabasa nako ang mga proyekto nga nahuman under the mercado administration… then ang mga kontra mercado miingon nga nagpaburot kuno si mercado sa iyang bulsa.
Unsa man kahay tinuod ani?
Nia ang akong gamay idea…
Matud sa mga politiko nga akong nakaestorya, kasagaran makakwarta sila sa ila ra mismo nga proyekto. Dili man siguro ni maconsider as corruption (ambot kung sakto ba ko) pero matud nila ang pinakaubos nga makwarta nila is 10% of the total budget of the project.
So, kung ang imong proyekto sa imong province or town or city or whatever nagkantidad ug 1 Billion, pila kaha ang imong makwarta which is 10% of the 1 Billion….
Asus Mariang Makiling! Dakua diay sa imong makwarta!!!
Usa na sa reason nganong managan na sila. Can’t really confirm pero bata pa ko kadungog na man ko ini. They call it SOP. Dili S*x on Phone pero Standard Operating Procedure which means it’s not exclusive to the people currently occupying the office. Meaning, ang past administrations benificiary sad. Meaning ang mosunod nga administrasyon ingani sad mahitabo. That’s why I think the whole change change nga battlecry is bullsh*t.
The Leriases and Mercados have been, granting that it is really true nga naay 10% have been benificiaries so they are technically even. Lets not talk about the length of time their clans have been enjoying the 10% kay murag lisod na. Ang mga Roden nalang gyud wa pa pero di lagi modaug. Nyahahah. Again, granting nga tinuod ang storya sa politiko nga imong kaistorya.0
I heard 1M daw imong kita sa imong blog monthly. ehehe gamay ra na para nimo bay. ehehehe.
stop making up stories stupid ass hole bendz r/t altered mental
