I woke up this morning, wanting to go back to sleep (as usual). My sister was knocking on my door and when I checked the time, it was 3 minutes before my usual Friday morning waking time. I asked her why she was still here, and she said she doesn't have classes. So I turned on my cellphone and received messages from Gino and my classmates telling me we don't have classes today. Good thing because I'm not looking forward to going to school today. I only have one class on Fridays so it's so hassle to wake up early. Wondering why classes were suspended, I wore my glasses and turned on the television (nax, very detailed ha). Turns out there was a rumored coup attempt and the President is so paranoid, and she should be, because she has negative ratings and many Filipinos just want her out of office. Gawd. Because of this, I have this theory that we are not going anywhere (figuratively speaking).
We always want to be rich, yet we're too lazy to even get to where we want. We want peace, yet we hate so many people so much. Can't people just get along? I'm so proud to be Filipino, but when I tune in to CNN or whatever international newschannel I could find, I think twice. Reports on the Philippines always include Poverty and Bad, Corrupt Politics. Change isn't always good. Having 3 successful People Power Revolutions would say a lot about the Filipinos. And it's not good. It means that when things aren't going right, we want change right away. Hello? That's not how things go. Ano yun, ilang dapa ka lang, gusto mo na palitan legs mo kasi parang may problema ata, lagi ka nalang nadadapa! People would deny that they think this way, but think about it, ganyan ang Pilipino. Why don't you give her a chance kasi? I know politically, we all have different opinions, but this is how I perceive things kasi eh. Ever since PGMA was put in position, people have been criticizing her and saying bad stuff about her. People don't believe in her. Yet, have you checked the Business Section of your newspapers months ago? The Peso improved gradually, if you haven't noticed. Yes, a lot of people are still hungry, out in the streets. But is it the government's responsibility to keep everyone's stomachs full? Gawd no! The government helps the people by keeping them safe thus by having the soldiers and the policemen. The government helps the people by providing them with some of their basic needs, but not all! The government helps they by generating more jobs for the Filipinos to keep people off the streets and have families eat thrice a day! But is it the government's fault that the poor has an average of 4 kids per family? Is it the government's fault that the poor are too dang lazy? Hell no! Come on People, let's all help each other. Absolutely nothing good will come out of these rallies and coup attempts against the administration. How could we help each other? Be more responsible. And keep praying. Nothing would go wrong if you just pray and believe.
Bangon Pilipinas.
