Of my pov.

mood: sleepy

Wow! Non-stop happenings last weekend. From left to right. South to north. X to y-axis. Etc. Etc. Atbp.

It pays to receive first hand information. You really know what's happening and such. But if you happen to forward these things you'll surely get the reply "Really?" (with matching eyebrow).

People are so skeptical nowadays that they really won't believe it even if it has had happened. Take the People Power anniversary last Friday for example. Everyone knows that a coup might happen and almost everyone didn't believe it happened. I had some first hand info last Friday about Gma's State of Emergency and also I had some first hand info regarding the "failed" coup attempt.

Sadly, most people aren't really affected by what's happening. I'm interested with our political crisis but I find it silly if I take it out on the streets. C'mon, that's overkill. Everytime we want to change our "leader", we take it to the streets? Why? I think People Power the first has all the right for that street rally. Marcos has killed more than a thousand people (which most of Filipinos are ignorant about). How about the second one? Well, we just hate Erap on top. (Sidenote: How come Erap is not receiving any blame on what's happening to us today? Don't they know that the things that he had done had an impact on a future basis, like Marcos, obviously Cory took most of the blame in all aspects of the cube.)

What third one? It is not a valid "revolution". A Revolution comes from the heart. Not from Aquino, Osmena, Roxas, or the tres amigos.

Going back, thank God that there was a failed coup. Aren't we happy that the economy is getting better (oh yeah! Efer the R-vat)? We just hate it noh? We want that freaking dollar to be equal to a hundred pesos.

Okay. I'm not for Gma. Or I condone what her husband is doing. BUT, who will take her place? Erap (the enough?), Ping (the killer?), or Noli (the druggie?). I guess the lesser evil would be fine.

Don't forget continuity.

If I am a foreigner and I'm going to invest on a country. I would surely pick a country who doesn't change their leader every three years or every time Nokia releases a new model for their phones. Obviously, as a foreigner, they want somebody who can be the pointperson in a period of time (no, one year is not a period of time).

Now, how about the latest news. 53 congressmen going to jail? Now, that's fishy. Remember Martial Law where Mr. Makoy controls the congress? Guess what...

This political instability is so shitty. How can we find jobs when there aren't any investors? How can we buy good food if our economy is sucky?

I have a solution. Time. We just have to wait for these trapos to die and let the newcomers do their thing. Twenty? Thirty years? That's fine with me as long as my children would receive good blessings in the future.

Condolence to the Balagso family.
