The Biznez of War
Didja knows dat da Philippine government has received $260 million worth of "military aid" from the United States from years 1999 to 2004?
At a P48 exchange rate (I'm just guessing that's the average between those years), that's P12,480,000,000.
Tumatagingting na 12.48 billion pesosesoses to aid Uncle Sam in making puksa terorismo in the Pilipins.
Sa'n kaya ginastos ang sandamukal na tung-dats na itu? At magkano kaya ang papasok na Foreign Military Funding (FMF) ngayong na-unveil na ang shining, shimmering splendid na HSA?
Huwell, depende sa decision ng US Congress, pwedeng mag-triple from $11 million to $30 million for next year alone! At between now and then, kung kunyari bati na ulit ang gobyerno at MILF, pwedeng mag-request ang Pilipins na extra $30 million for a "job well done" in forging farce. Eherm, feace fala.
So, matanong ko lang, bakit di makaya ng powers ng AFP na puksain ang kaaway despite the sandamakmak "military aid" from the benevolent Uncle Sam? Saan ba ginagastos ang FMF na itu? Tanungin n'yo yung mga nag-mutiny sa Oakwood. Siguro alam nila, kaya nga sila nag-mutiny eh. Charing!
O di kaya, tanaw-tanawin n'yo lang ang ilan sa mga naglalakihang mansyon in your nearest five-star gated communities. Or pansinsin n'yo lang ang bagong tsikot ng anak ni general. Tip ko, makisakay na lang kayo, para naman mapapakinabangan n'yo naman kahit paano ang FMF na 'yan. 'Di ba?
