IF we look at the results of the recent elections, both at the local and national level, I can’t help but see a tiny glimpse of hope budding up.
That is if we have to believe the analysis of the press of the circumstances surrounding these results. We are witnessing an upsurge trend of protest votes not only against GMA, but also against the system as a whole.
If for that alone, there is reason to begin investing our hopes on better politics ahead…

If you don’t believe in the system, then you shouldn’t vote and install incompetent candidates in the senate. This is the worst electorate ever! People said that Filipinos under the Marcos regime are cowards, but at least people showed up and took the fight to the streets, boycotted elections and refused to rubber stamp the dictator’s initiatives. This so-called “text generation” that we have now on the other hand, would go far as to toy on the way they exercise a fundamental right of suffrage out of mere spite and so willingly propped up people like Lacson, Trillantes and Honasan. People who say that this is a success for democracy are naive and ignorant of the meaning of the word. Democracy is only realized when it is used for the ultimate gain of the country. It demands responsibility from people who have the right to exercise it. And you are irresponsible and accountable to future generations not only because we have to pay these criminals you elected out of our tax-payer money but also because of what this country will become after they have served their terms!!

Why do we protest by bringing in people who would be the objects of future protests? We are going around in circles. Many are doing their best but the tribe of those who do their worst is also increasing. Oh, self interest disguised as patriotism!! Out of this thicket now appears a fresh face: Fr. Panlilio. Let us see. I love it that nobody from the world of make-believe made it to the Senate.

oh…you mean another lousy edsa movement led by some sour losers?
i remember erap being ousted through EDSA II led by some lousy stupid manileños who think they represent the whole country - i dont like erap’s government but i prefer his than that of gloria’s.
geee…*me thinks* cardinal SIN - name pa lang kasalanan na, cory aquino - balimbing na tanga,ni di man lang maayos a family life nakikialam pa sa gobyerno…and lots of other people.
i rather support the terrorists,for at least i am sure they know they are killing people.

on one point i agree with you - our nation has excellent resources.
but on most part,i dont.
1. forget about hell - this country - because demons - GMA along with her minions and some lousy anti-GMA,non of them are actually better - here have just expanded their territory.
2. stop praying for this country, there is no hope for those who are in hell, besides, god - the defenders of our constitution - is dead.
3. there is no good in most of our people, although there some who are,they are outnumbered…and outgunned. come to think about the pathetic muslim people in mindanao with their blind obidience,with a little cash you can hire them.
the phillpines is greatmesoecially in mocking it’s own laws. so if i were you,i rather not get back here,besides,thats the reason why you left,right? to search for a greener pasture - heaven.
oh sweet, the country has gone crazy,totally crazy…oh yes,i remember,our system is democrazy,right,right.

I miss our country and continue to pray for its greatness. I believe in goodness of our people that we would rise beyond corruption and that we would celebrate our uniqueness. Our nation is just so beautiful both in natural resources and its human resources.
