In the news : Aquino leads national day of prayer http://www.rappler.com/thewrap/january-20-2014-edition/aquino-leads-national-day-prayer
The president, in a bid to distract the attention of the
Filipinos from his lack of actions on the disasters and other important
national situations calls on the people to kneel down and pray.
Now, I have nothing against praying. It is a way of
communicating with the Almighty. But like the Spanish colonizers of the past,
BS is using religion to take the peoples’ mind away from the fact that the most
serious problem of the nation as of now is B. S. Aquino III. Nay, I’ll rephrase
it: the biggest national disaster is B. S. Aquino III himself.
The nation is facing a grave problem. The Visayan regions
has suffered much with a double blow, the earthquake in Bohol and Cebu provinces
and the hurricane that hit the Visayas. And his blunderings made it worse. Let
us remember that the regions hit by the typhoon Pablo in Mindanao still has to recover
from its effect nbecause of corruption and inefficiency in handling the assistance
oprations, and the same thing is happening with the present disaster. The very
first thing that the president has done is to find who is to blame and not what
has to be done.
There is no need for a crystal ball to understand that
the national ship is sinking, and the captain has no real idea how to save the
ship. The quality of life for the Filipinos is deteriorating. Economy is not getting better, well to do Filipinos has begun
complaining, too. (Asia Pulse Survey http://www.rappler.com/nation/48415-philippines-quality-life-survey)
Coverups in the true state of
poverty by doctoring the poverty level figures in a try to show that there are
less poor people in the Philppines., and shallow economic growth where only the rich ang big
corporation gained, growing unemployment and low salaries. (Ibon article Tanaw sa 2014:
Ekonomiyang ampaw, diskuntentong aapaw).
As citizens, we must advise this casique
president to stop playing on our religious sentiments and start doing his job
of leading the nation towards a better future.
