Sorry I haven’t been around much, but I do try my best to say out of any political article.
That’s okay GP Cox, I understand your position. This is a site about people and not about political commentaries. I will try as much as possible to stick to factual information.
Much appreciated. I have quite a few Filipino friends and I do not wish to appear as siding with one or another political person or group.
That’s understandable. Actually, I have strong political opinion on certain issues but I try to restrain from posting my controversial views.
