THAT was a brainy literary gem you spewed out re: the cyberworld.
GMA and company have not really internalized the essential implications of the cyber age. Global Pinoys are much smarter than government thinks; smokescreens, stonewalls and old, tired PR jobs are no match to truth crisscrossing the blogs, IMs and e-mails. In the battle of ideas, the truth always wins and liberates in the end.
Notice the ever-increasing feedback from the OFW intelligentsia, thanks to the Internet? Once the Pinoys of the diaspora have tasted democracy/justice in their essential substance (if not form), no superficial antics can withstand morally progressive ideas homing back to the land of their birth.
It reminds me of T.S. Eliot — more expats are gazing back at the motherland and seeing its unique beauty for the first time. It’s a wonderful sight, though excruciating at times from my perspective, this slow moral maturing of Juan de la Cruz/John of the Cross inside and outside geographic boundaries.
Bravo to Joey DV for making the painful decision of taking the high moral ground! The baton has been passed on to his generation.
Thanks mucho.

Yes, yes, very true. OFW intelligentsia, homegrown intelligentsia, it’s the same, we will not take it sitting down anymore those artificial antics cum insatiable greed by the ruling elite. We will expose them, if need be, depose them!
