If you want to know more about the officials representing your town, province, region, or the Philippines, there is a site that has a database of all information from personal to how much money they have on the bank (declared of course). Grafted incomes are not included I’m pretty sure. At least the site will tell you if they are honest enough, can they still live a lavish life?
The site is called Eye Site — The information site on Philippine politics and government.

My latest addiction. Since Ruruoni Kenshin, I’ve been looking for a series worth my time. I passed on Naruto a few times because I thought it is not up to par on the seriousness of Kenshin. Even after an acquaintance mentioned Naruto, I still passed on it. However when I watched At The World’s End, Naruto Movie trailer was included in the Coming Soons and the soundtrack struck me. I thought I should give it a try and see if the series really is full of energy. A few days later, I was bored and searched for a downloadable Naruto Movie and found one. The movie didn’t really catch my attention, but I found a list of downloadable episodes…and that’s where it started.
What I really like about this series is the main characted, Uzumaki Naruto. Not because of his techniques, which he doesn’t have the best in the story, but it is Naruto himself. He has no family and most adults in the village loathe him which also means the children are also distant to him. He supports himself. I was touched when he showed his frog wallet to his mentor and telling him that he saved every bit of his mission money. He is only twelve years old and he lives by himself in an apartment. The series is very specific Naruto’s lifestyle and I think it is very important.
Do I pity Naruto? Maybe, but his lifestyle is my dream. I salute his courage and perseverance. Good job Masashi Kishimoto for creating an inspiring character. Rock on!
