militancy

i hate the militant groups. they are so paranoid, acting as if a civil war will soon break out and crying as if another colonization is under way. it’s true, these groups may have been instrumental in the first edsa revolution, speaking out with audacity even if they knew marcos’s guns are ready to fire when they too are ready to open their mouths. what they did were certainly patriotic, and we would always treasure those in our history. but it seems as if they are still in trauma (after what? 20 years?) since marcos started the workings of the insane, that there never was a time they tired of working their mouths. until now, their mouths are still wide open. worse, they’ve multiplied! oh, if only we could use their energies, we could actually power the whole country!

ok, they were successful in liberating us from asinine credulity 20 years ago. but instead of peace, what have we? all we have at present are more shouts, more rallies, more demonstrations. it’s unbelievable. we’ve become more chaotic now than before. marcos is gone, the martial law cast away, the repression of rights destroyed, but not any of these things seemed to have at least calmed them.

we are no longer under a grasping hand of a power-hungry dictator, but it’s obvious they still think otherwise. a little more and i would really say they’re already crazed. i know they have their right to democracy and im not saying they should stop blurting out the ills of society. i recognize their plights, their sentiments, and their right to air them out because there is truth in what they are trying to say. but it has always been a one-sided truth. i guess its high time that they try changing a bit of their attitude. it’s been too much. they are overreacting. they are already out of place. they’re attacking the country, instead of helping it from the attacks of the real enemies.

if i were them, ill think a thousand times. ill make a stratagem that would effectively destroy a politician without having the country destroyed along the way. but i guess its not in their system to think like that. they are selfish. the country’s not theirs alone, you know. in fact, they consist barely a hundredth of the population, but they’ve become too powerful, too influential, that their making too much radical changes, changes that have harmed, instead of helped, the rest of the Filipinos. and it appears they’re not stopping yet. now isn’t that unfair?

political hullabaloos

all these hullabaloos on political destabilization are really trying my patience. they’re no longer motivating. they are already annoying. and as if we are going somewhere about the issues. no, we’re not. it’s been almost 2 weeks since the nation got hit by the jueteng and gloriagate scandals, but there isn’t still a case. could you believe that? and it seems as if there wouldn’t be any case at all, as no one wants to file one. all we have are gossips, arguments, assumptions. but after two weeks of babbling, where exactly has the republic gone?

it is very clear that these issues are making destructive ripples in the economy, and it is not really something that we, Filipinos, deserve. fine, Gloria has committed a crime. but why bring everything to the streets? why wouldn’t they go to the court and file a case? in my opinion, the people behind these outrageous plot are dreaming of another edsa, to which they knew people would do with a little more push. but heck! they’re making us all look idiots. since they knew the process would definitely take time, they took the shortcut. and that shortcut meant the streets, the media, the people. now are we really that dumb to summon to their self interests?

what is happening now is no where near the situation in erap’s time, where credible testimonials were surfacing one after another. i say they’re credible because they were free of political ambitions, not like now, where it is very evident the opposition is in the back of it all. moreover, the testimonials that appeared in that time did not cry over the media that people should go to the streets and hammer down the country, nor did they comment that the president should resign. slowly, they showed the evidences. they provided proof. and when the people have seen enough, heard enough, that’s when a spontaneous cry for change exploded into a revolution. but looking at the situation now, the people are being ordered. we are being taught what to do. if they’re intentions are really for the country’s interest, then they would let us decide. file a case, so we will know the truth. and let’s see if another edsa is really necessary.

im not saying that all these scandals are just that – scandals. i just want everything to be laid out clear and smooth. but because these people are determined to run this country awry, the people, the Filipinos, are the ones that really suffer. they’re plunging the country in a crisis, when the world has seen it desperately trying to rise. they’re destroying the state, that’s what im seeing. so please, stop all these sh*t!
