This is another forwarded message to my personal email address. I don't know if this is some kind of a ploy against the Arroyo administration so it's up to you to judge.
****************
THIS IS A VERY HUMILIATING STORY......
To All Filipino Overseas Workers (OFW'S):
The Financial Analyst of World Bank would like to inform you that the present currency exchange rate of US Dollar to Peso is actually $1 = 52 Pesos.
Your government is manipulating the exchange rate for some years now. It
is very much improbable and impossible that the Philippine Peso is
appreciating compare to Euro, British Pound, Rials, and any other foreign
currency. Even your ASEAN neighboring countries are suffering from the
Global Crisis. Singapore, a developed country is affected by
depreciation of their currency what more of your country?
We admire you for your hard work but we also pity you for having such a
very corrupt government that is taking advantage of your hard-earned
money.
The ARROYO ADMINISTRATION is blatantly milking billions of pesos from OFW's all
over the world for its own greedy, selfish ends. Investigations reveal that this milked money from OFWs will be spent to BRIBE, not only for PGMA's pet CROCODILES in CONGRESS but also in the SENATE for her to PERPETUATE IN POWER BEYOND 2010. The rest would be
deposited to the family's SECRET ACCOUNT in Switzerland .
Another money-making scheme is the LOTTERY DRAWS. Filipinos should be
aware that all LOTTO DRAWS are orchestrated, and big money goes to the two
sons of the lady president. Recent example is the SUPER LOTTO 6/49 draw,
where supposedly two individuals from Luzon won. Do you know WHO
these individuals are? They're Mikey and Datu, who else? One might ask
how could the draw be rigged when it is being televised in front of
millions of viewers. The answer is simple. As you all know, all bet
combinations are being entered into PCSO's main data base as it is
on-line. Therefore, it is easy to determine which combinations were NOT
betted upon. If they want to raise big money, no winners will be
declared until the JACKPOT reaches sky-high because they could dictate the
outcome at will.
When it's "HARVEST TIME", viola, there would be "winner or winners" and
the process repeats all over again. One might ask how this is being
done. One insider told our investigators that actually the "DRAWN
BALLS", six balls to be exact, are the only set which could fit into the
transparent tube which sucks the balls up. All others are slightly
bigger than the diameter of the tube which could not be distinguished by
the viewers, therefore, there's no way they could be drawn! You
Filipinos are being skinned alive, fried in your own fat and lard by your
own government.. Do you ever wonder why president-elect BARACK OBAMA,
avoids your president like a stinking leper?

KINDLY PASS THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS UNTIL IT REACHES TO MILLIONS
OF FILIPINOS AROUND THE GLOBE...

Pandan is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Catanduanes, Philippines. According to the 2007 census, it has a population of 19,005 people in 3,181 households.
HISTORY
Formerly the town site was located some two kilometers away south of the present site. Then the people were disturbed by constant depredation of bandits coming from other places.
The present site has been chosen because it was near the sea and the fishermen found it very convenient for their trade, however, being near the sea, it was vulnerable to Moros who always come to get their belongings or even capture some people.
As a defense against such moro raids, the people planted pandan shrubs close to each other to form a formidable defense against invaders. When the Spaniards came they found the plants around the poblacion in great abundance. When asked what the name of the shrubs was, the people told them that they were pandan shrubs. Thus, the Spaniards called the place Pandan.
The municipality lies on the northern tip of the province, 96 kilometers from the capital town of Virac. Bounded on the south by the municipality of Caramoran, on the west by the Maqueda Channel, on the east by the municipality of Bagamanoc and on the north by the Pacific Ocean. It has a total land area of 11,990 hectares. This is a town of 17,096 friendly and hospitable people, to which 99% are Roman Catholic.
Of the 26 barangays that comprise the municipality, four of which actually form the town proper, which are Libod, the biggest barangay in terms of population, Napo, Pandan del Sur and Pandan del Norte. The rest are found usually near the seashore. The rest being an inland barangays.
The municipality does not only boast of the natural beauties, it has which are the Parway, Mangbang, Parola beaches, the Hinik-Hinik falls (Hinik-hinik is a local term for rain shower) and Minaipit falls, but especially of its being a hometown of Senators, Congressman, Governor, Cardinal and Ambassador.
The people of Pandan are generally peace loving, God fearing and are happy people. Everyone in the community is a brother, a sister and a friend where the products of which could be shared even food itself without thought of having it repaid or reciprocated. Visitors are offered the comforts that the family could afford even it means that the owner should lay on the floor just to make the visitor eased at home by using the “papag”. And that is not enough, before going home; products of their yard would be wrapped for you to bring in your family plus a bunch of cockling chickens.
During celebrations, immediate neighbors are invited bringing among the whole members of the family and this seemed to be incomplete without tuba drinking and little dancing. Pantomina is a long cherished dance that never changes with time despite of the current dance and music. Pandananons has a series of collected pantomina songs which are now famous composed locally, of course it is not only the above songs, Pandananons used to compose, for evidence of which that gained popularity was a song composed by the late Mr. Alfredo dela Rosa, former Municipal Secretary of the Sangguniang Bayan of Pandan, entitled “Islang Catandungan”. This song won first place in the regional contest in Sorsogon sometime on the late 60’s.
