Terrorists in our midst

I really hate politics!

Recent events in the country that also focused on the issue of the Visiting Forces Agreement is getting dumb and dumber. Come on, kill me for airing my side.

My ignorance about this VFA shit might be glaring. Who cares? But I am asking- Who would help us eradicate the Abu Sayaff and other stray Muslim extremists? Congressman Palparan? First Gentleman Mike Arroyo?

The government has promised the Filipino people that it would annihilate specifically the Abu Sayaff. That remains a promise. We could not even get hold of a small band of leftists called NPA. They are ill-equipped since I was not born but until now they are there, another reason for the government military to become corrupt.

Are we willing to be terrorized everyday in our lives with these bandits because of our national "pride"?

Or we just love seeing these people below disturbing our peace and be willing victims of their selfish cause all in the name of pakikibaka? Have they defended us against terrorists?

Are We Really Free?

I saw a very small group of students (most of them are not student-looking) downtown protesting against tuition increase, gasoline prices, food scarcity, the authoritarian government of GMA and other negative things they could think of. This is an old song played again and again. And those playing like sirang plaka are either romantic morons or plain drunks.

I wonder if the people behind these rallies and their financiers (ow, don't make excuses, someone is giving you the funds) can think of another way to solve the country's economic problems we would be better off than our Asian neighbors.

I believe if these very few rallyists would go to our hometown (or theirs) and plant trees or vegetables the future of the country would be bright.

Come to think of it, they are basically one of the problems of the country. I worked at a government office, I paid my taxes. I resigned from that office, looked for another job, I paid my taxes. I am helping my country.

What have these rallyists done except disturbing peace and making the traffic super slow?

Expect them to be present today even if GMA has the gall to transfer the Independence Day!
