80 million Filipinos now addicts

Written by Mr.NiceGuy Believe it or not. Over eighty million Filipinos in the Philippines are now addicts...but not with the use of illegal drugs such as Marijuana or shabu...but to the use of cellular phones. As a result, three telecom giants Globe, Nokia and Smart are now raking millions of dollars from Filipinos everyday. It is estimated that billions of pesos were texted by Filipinos everyday according to very reliable cources. What is more shocking is that the cellular phone fever has already reached even to househelpers, coconut alcohol makers (mananggiti)farmers, market vendors, drivers, and even to the millions of jobless Filipinos. The coconut alcohol gatherer would still find texting even atop 20 feet coconut trees. House helpers also find time texting with their pals even during laundry hours without the knowledge of their landlords. The farmers have also texted while plowing the rice fields. Despite of these extravagant spendings of Filipinos, the country remains to be among the poorest countries in Asia. Not to mention the recent exposes of foreign groups that the Philippines is number one country managed by corrupt politicians. In fact, the country also ranked #14th most corrupt countries of te world. However, the governement's paid media hacks kept on trumpeting the country is improving. Tell it to the marines...Let's go back to cellphone topic. It's more interesting. What can you say?
