Former President Joseph Estrada just admitted that he is Jose Velarde.

Detained former President Joseph Estrada on Wednesday confessed before the Sandiganbayan Special Division that he indeed signed bank documents as Jose Velarde.

This story is all over the local news.

Reading news in Sunstar, I found another interesting article written by Antonio V. Osmeña.

He writes:

Throughout Philippine history, however, the really important politics has been that of making the seemingly impossible—or the highly improbable—possible.

Unfortunately, in our country, the “art of the possible” that most politicians focus on is making their own reelection possible. But how do we get from the seemingly impossible to the possible?

That is so true and I can’t wait to get out of this country.
