Antonio Trillanes, failed mutineer turned Senator of the Republic, has decided to play for all the marbles. After holing up in the Manila Peninsula with about 30 soldiers, he has asked the public to choose between him and the President.
I get the sense that this pseudo-mutiny or quasi-coup will not end peacefully.

let us not just blame our president or mr. trillanes regarding this chaos. We must blame our selves because as a filipino living here in our country, we all have a responsibility for us to have a better nation. If we want to have a peaceful nation, than let us forget all the painful events that happened here in our country,but instead, let us help one another to solve all the problems our country is encountering right now, let us be more responsible for the better of this nation!!

Quotes above taken from the discussions between two wise men in this entry, one condemning a perceive corrupt and morally bankrupt administration, the other defending it. The topic of their discussions are the fine points of morality in our government and people.

‘I will agree that declining the money is probably the most prudent thing to do. It is probably what I’d do.’, said the wise man.
‘The truth is the best and most moral thing to do is to take the money,….’, said the same wise man.
‘People think they are being moral but in truth they are not. That’s why they are hypocrites.’, said the wise man again.
A very wise lesson in hypocrisy, indeed.

‘…most moral thing to do is to get the money, vote for someone else, report the vote-buyer….blah, blah…’.
MOTTO OF THE YEAR! Exactly what Gov. Panlilio of Pampanga did. Now the president is snubbing him because of that…and then all town mayors in his province are ganging up on him. Poor gov.
