Philippine news related: What do you guys think about the ongoing story regarding Ex-President GMA being allowed to leave or not?

My two cents:

Personally, I think it's unjustified since the Supreme Court already allowed her to leave. See, in democratic countries we have to hold the rule of law above all else. If and only if the SC continues to make constitutionally invalid decisions, then the people will have no recourse but to file for their impeachment. My line of thinking is that politicians come and go all the time, but the law is the only institution in government that has a sense of permanence so it should be followed as much as possible, and adjusted accordingly if abused but under due process (as in through legislation). This issue really shows why the Philippines isn't a mature democracy yet.

About wanting to escape the country, we have to put things into perspective. GMA could have escaped the country at any time in the first few months of the new President. There are some people saying that she's feeling the heat and wants to move her bank accounts elsewhere, but there's electronic banking these days. The only reason I can think of is that there's an agenda at work by the current government to continuously run after the previous gov't to distract the populace from their failings.

The headlines before the GMA fiasco concentrated on the newbie Marines who were ambushed because their commanding officer essentially sent them to die. There are also a lot of other problems plaguing the government that they don't want to see on the headlines.

MANILA, Philippines - Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa wants Filipinos as her screen (and bed) partners in her next movie.

Ozawa said in her Facebook page on Wednesday that an audition will be held for Filipino men in January.

"Mabuhay! Philippines!" Ozawa said.

"I bought Globe sim!....audition for the bukkake will be in January," she added.

She did not say if she is already in Manila but rumors of her visit to the country made rounds on Internet forums and adult blogs just before Christmas.

"Hello guys! Who wants bukkake? Audition will be on January 2012," she repeated in her Facebook page, which is linked to her official blog.

The post has received more than 10,000 "likes," 535 "shares" and more than 2,400 replies.

However, no one has yet to take up her offer as of posting time.

Ozawa has made several dozen adult videos and non-porn movies.

Her last adult video was released in April 2010.

The same year, Ozawa had to keep her visit to Indonesia and the filming of her movie secret because of fears of protests from Muslims./[quote]
