Gloria Resign!
Written Oct 23, 2005
I've always tried to avoid writing anything about politics. Not because I dont want to, but because it is a cause for so much debate. But I guess just like every other middle class and taxpayer in my society, I've kept my silence long enough regarding the political situation in this third-world country. Enough is enough!
It is frustrating that not a lot of people are willing to speak up after all the hoopla and even though they've been heavily bruised by everything that's been going on. Prices of every basic commodity is shooting up to the point of it being impossible for a normal individual to survive, and not to mention that the bigger half is living below the poverty line; fuel rates are weekly increasing it is becoming absurd; freedom of expression is being suppressed and everyone is getting asphyxiated; and the country's leadership is obviously incompetent and corrupt. And just like during the Marcoses era, I am reaching a point that I'll elect anyone else, even a bunch of dogs, in replacement of the present administration.
It's almost unimaginable that at this time and age, our breed have so much deteriorated that you almost couldn't find anyone reasonable enough to replace Gloria. The people in power are so much shoving it down our throats to accept whoever they want to put in power. But I'll purge. I'll purge it out and would not compromise my ideals even if it means that I'll hit the streets with a plackard at one hand and a bolo on the other.
Looking back a few months ago, until recently, I've always believed (or maybe fantasized is the most appropriate term) that it's not too late for this nation to bring itself back on its feet. But with the recent events that has been happening, it's frightening to predict that we're on our way to be the next Argentina or worse, our path is leading to a civil war. It isn't far from happening especially when the EVAT has finally been approved and is just waiting to be implemented. When people are starving, everyone will struggle for survival. The government does not seem to notice. But people are not oblivious to the fact that their primary concern is how to stay in power.
My voice may be small but I won't stop in clamouring for the President's resignation until she does. To think I shook her hand twice during an event that I attended for our company. If I knew then that she'll turn out to be one of the worst presidents of this country, I would have spat right at her face. Still that would not be enough. But I'm sure it'll make it to the headlines.

Thank you for visiting my site.
I also don't make post much on politics because it is getting tiresome. Very tiresome. I am beginning to think that it is hopeless.
