Kaban ni D_BystandeR: NGANO NGA GIDOMINAR MAN ANG RENDA SA PANGAGAMHANAN SA TAGA LUZON???

It's been a longtime dream by people concerned about the disparity with which progress has been endlessly applied to Manila and the whole of Luzon island as compared to the kind of progress we observed in the islands of the Visayas and Mindanao. But I think, even how much we try our best it is a known fact that most people in Luzon have more money to spend and they have formidable clout in the way things are developing in our country. And perhaps, historically, we can consider the government setup way back during the time of the early Spanish rule where the seat of power was there in Manila. It does not mean, we do not have capable and talented personalities in the Visayas and Mindanao but when it comes to logistics, clout and political powerhouse superiority, nobody can beat the powerful political warlords from Luzon. And that's the primary reason, I think, why our national presidents mostly come from Luzon.
