MUSINGS

A friend blogger gets troubled by the seeming hopelessness in Philippine society. I just can't blame him. A lot of people actually share the same sentiment, and it somehow gladdens me.

Because the more people who arrive at such consciousness, the more hope there is for us Filipinos.

A society that tolerates a corrupt government is as corrupt as the whole system itself. The way we apathize over GMA is one proof of that corruption. We have been very vigilant as a people, from the earliest times. In fact, the Spaniards had a difficult time pacifying the Philippines. But as we come close to the 2010, nothing has much changed, we are still that FORGIVING and EASY-TO-DEAL-WITH Filipinos. Not that Im saying those values are wrong, but at some point, they spell doom most of the time.

We were considered one of the most active citizenry in the world before. But lately, people have been numbed by the stagnant state of everything. I really cant blame those Filipinos who seek solace and fortune abroad. "When you're all shitty and sweaty in the kitchen, get out", I think that's what most of them say.

But I like the filth and the never-ending sweatdrops. I always carry a handkerchief for that. I do not want to leave the country. I guess as long as we continue to empower the people, there is still hope for the Philippines. There still hope for this great nation of ours, if we start the change within.

But enough is enough. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE BOMB BATASANG PAMBANSA OR AT LEAST KILL OFF GLORIA? CAN ABS-CBN AND GMA STOP THOSE MIND-NUMBING SHOWS? CAN SOMEBODY CLONE ANDRES BONIFACIO?

That will really make a difference.
