    Many a true word has been said in jest,wasnt there a Hoo-ha sometime in the 1990's some politician offering damage payements to pinays claiming abuse from foreigners?I think the case centered around a guy who married a lady with children,the ladies ex-husband alleged abuse of the child from the ladies puti-partner and the child received some sort of payement,things like that tend to open flood gates

    most of the people believe that she dismissed the case because she and her family were given sums of money and greencards by the US Government..

    I think the americans have a clause written into their VFA agreement with Pinas which prevents 'kano servicemen being tried in Pinoy courts or Held in Pinoy prisons for crimes commited while they are stationed in Pinas
