Makati Mayor Suspended

Shortly after my initial brainstorm regarding "kardz", I turned the TV on for some news. Typically, I tune in to CNN if it's early morning, but I happened to tune the TV to a local TV station. Any Filipino who has even a passing sense of the news today should know about what's going on in Makati right now. Binay is with the opposition, and happens to be mayor of the Philippine's financial capital. Pee Wee, the mayor of Pasay, was also suspended some weeks ago. Government representatives say that some administration people have also been suspended recently, not just opposition people.

Life gets more colorful when things like this happen, but that doesn't mean it is less disturbing.
