Hmmm I wonder How good that 1 million peso dinner was that Gloria has shared with her entourage. I would be so lucky if I were a part of that flock of congressmen who joined Gloria on her trip. I don’t even really see a point why they should even be there, or why they have to spend that much on a single meal. They could have gone directly to their hotels and just ate a regular meal and saved the rest of the money for government projects that the rest of the Filipino people can benefit from. Let’s say it wasn’t Gloria, ok let’s give them a chance, it was those two congressmen who actually spend for the meal, but where could their money come from? And another questionable fact here is that, those two congressmen are actually getting maybe 5 or 6 times funds from the government than the rest, given that their area isn’t even as progressive. Hmmm.. I smell something fishy here….

The past few decades have seen a significant change among United States voters. Many are basing their party affiliations on their religious views rather than their traditional political loyalties. The last national election revealed that this trend includes Catholics: those who are religiously active are moving away from the solidly Democratic voting patters that used to be their hallmark.

Aware of this, the Republican campaign designated Catholics as its key target constituency. And the Republican National Committee geared up its Catholic Task Force to identify religiously active Catholics in key target states and communicate with them regarding issues of personal interest to Catholics. Subsequently, among  the 42 percent of United States Catholics who say they attend mass as least once a week, Republicans garnered 55 percent of the Catholic votes.
