Thanks to Professional Heckler for the idea!
The country today is shaken by extreme confusion and chaos! Faction among political leaders are extremely visible while others loyalty (either administration or opposition) are yet to be tested. Some are still contemplating while others are observing still and will decide later. Which would mean "kung saan ang makararami dun ako"! (have a life!)
I was born on a year where Marcos dictatorship is at its peak and a year after during its downfall. Had I known that People Power would drive the infidels away, I could've jump out of my crib and join Ramos and Cory march on the streets. But its way too ironic. If i did, i would literally die young of stampede!
The greatest event in history i've witnessed so far was the ousting of Erap. Thanks for the media coverage who points their cameras on daily impeachement trials and other upheavals that leads to the ouster of Erap. Manila was like struggling, fighting and celebrating the defeat of their colonizers way back then.
GMA supersede his (Erap) post through People Power 2 and that same fate that puts her on the limelight might also serve as her defeat. Kudos to the people who knows nothing but communal action!
As the People Power anniversary comes closer, another history is yet to realized and will be penned down to every textbook. Not just one probably, but dozens more!
Wala na po itong katapusan! Kahit sinong nasa Malakanyang ay pressured na i-please lahat ng Pilipino dahil pag hindi, napakadaling mag-Edsa 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
People in Manila does not represent even half of the country's population! We should also consider the people from visayas and mindanao, even on some parts of Luzon.
Dati, kung may rally sa Maynila, hanggang watch lang kami sa mga news channels. Ngayon nasa baba ko na mismo ang mga taong galit at naghihimagsik laban sa pamahalaan. But to consider my involvement is another issue. Maaring may patutunguhan ang mga rally at pag-aalsa ng masa laban sa gobyerno sa kasalukuyan pero wala pang nakaka-alam kung kelan sisimulan ang mga planong naibibida!
MAs makabubuting boses ng lahat ng Pilipino ang pakikinggan at hindi ang mga boses ng iilang taong sakim at sabik na humawak at magkaroon ng kapangyarihan!
Epigrams annotated (repost)
Wisdom sometimes comes in unexpected places. And so with stupidity, in various forms. Like abducting Lozano at the airport with all CCTV around and returning his passport without record of his arrival in court further attesting the crime done!
What is good for goose is good for the gander. Not always. Especially, if FG's kickback is larger than his wife.
Don’t let the last straw break the camel’s back. Lozano is about to do it.
The end justifies the means. Not always. The objective of the Magdalo could be justifiable. But the means cannot be justified. Rebellion, coup de etat or martial law- they are the same color of different shades.
Prejudice is an opinion not supported by facts, manufactured or not. How many of them in the House and Senate, Cabinet and even in Malacañang like Apostol, are guilty of this indiscretion?
The more we cut a diamond the more it sparkles. The more they belittle a probinsyanong instik the taller he stands.
Kites fly high by going against the wind, not by floating with the wind. That is exactly what CBCP and some religious leaders are doing!
One gains popularity or notoriety by challenging the established order. In politics maybe!
Better to be envied than pitied. Well I say, much better is to be respected.
Ingratitude gets and forgets. That is what beneficiaries often do, a threat to the pupies of Malacañang!
Common sense is one man’s greatest riches. Unfortunately, common sense is not common. If the second premise is true, Abalos' or GMA's common sense would have made us all rich!
Don’t hang and expose your dirty linens. Not always. Lozano did and made the country admire him.
There are no slaves if there are no tyrants. Unfortunately, one cannot exist without the other. The corruptor and the corruptible are symbiotic bedfellows. Its like, there could've been no GMA if there no EDSA 2!
The wind blows where it pleases. But we can always adjust our sails towards our port of destination. We can always choose to watch TV and stay at home or march the street and join the mob!
The validity of the argument is not a guaranty of the truth of the conclusion. That is, if the premises are false. That always happened in political harassment. Jamby's argumentum ad hominem (attack to the person) will not kill any argument but further show her deepest darkest underarm as LadLad put it that way!
The tongue has no bones of its own but it can break another’s backbone. That is why Lozano was so afraid when Abalos cursed him!
A little pot boils easily. GMA did otherwise. She didn't make any remark yet trying to pretend she is not as little as we imagined!
The man who speaks gently can be heard clearly, even if he is further away. Lozano use this technique when he was abducted. Of course with cell phones all around!
Worry is what you pay for buying troubles. Imprisonment is what you get for selling troubles.
Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise. Better not to be a witness to a crime, or you’ll never show up alive on time. The best advice Neri could give to Lozano!
Envy is insecurity arising from a feeling of inferiority. Guess, who is jealous of whom?
It is better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all. Words of comfort to repudiated losers who intend another EDSA 3!
It is our own vanity that makes the vanity of others unbearable to us. That is so, if we are one of the cabinet secretaries!.

ReplyDeleteGeisha: hahahha:D mababaw lang yan! di nga umabot sa g-spot mo eh! ;)
seryoso to! lam mo ang pakikibaka (kalabaw/kambing/manok) sa kalsada ay hindi na uubra kay gloria... kahit ilang EDSA People's Power pa ang gawin mo, matigas talaga yang si GMA! Walang magpapatumba sa katigasan nyan! Sana ipagdasal na lang natin siya na magkaron siya ng kahit katiting na konsensya dahil higit sa ano pa man si gloria ay nangangailangan lang ng konsensya na magdidikta sa kanya na mali na ang ginagawa nya...
ReplyDeletebad trip nga eh kasi si Mike Arroyo nag-apply na konsensya nya yan tuloy tingnan mo nangyari sa Pinas! :(
GEisha: tama! konsensya dapat! pero saan kukunin yun? kahit paliguan pa sya ng sandamakmak na holy water wala pa ring epek yun! tsaka EDSA? hay naku! dito lang yan sa manila! punta ka sa province wapakels mga tao dun! business as usual dun! nakakatawa nga eh ang mga tao dito sa manila pag galit sa gobyerno papalitan agad thru EDSA churfer! di man lang nila iniisip ang ibang tao sa pinas na taxpayer din katulad nila!
Political turbulence is rooted on corruption, selfishness and deteriorated moral sense. It seems we don't think as a nation. We are not cohesive as one republic. There are various personal interest that continue to ruin institutions.
ReplyDeleteAnomalies and suspicion to anomalous deals of private and government sectors are deeply rooted on corruption. While many think corruption in bigger sense, I insist that many little things we do are forms of corruption - buying pirated stuff for example.
It is ironic. Many hate corruption but consent piracy.
Geisha: i agree! and to change the people in power is changing all that's in power! kung magpapaalis tayo ng corrupt na gobyerno, dapat alisin ang lahat na naging accomplice ng gobyernong yun! the pressure runs to the youth of today! youth sectors should act! we are yet to experience further democratic rights! we are not born on the verge of marcos dictatorship. we are blind by whats happening then. we have to start and do our share! we have to cleanse the repubic from its sins. but i guess its better said than done! we have to start it among ourselves first before going on a larger scale!
alam ko na kung bakit mahina ka sa math... magaling ka sa english eh... nakaka-nosebleed... pwede math na lang?... hahah..
ReplyDeletelols...
GEisha: ganun ba yun??? hmmm its a myth! fact is, hindi talaga ako studios when it comes to numbers..heheheh ciao!
mga bwakanangina nila
ReplyDeleteGEisha: hahahha wapakels si tapsiboy! :)
Si wally bayola daw ang napipisil ng mga movie producers na maging jun lozada kung sakaling gagawing movie ang buhay ni papa jun.
ReplyDeleteKung hindi ba naman mga bwakanangina ang mga yan, etong mga taga showbiz, halatang wala ng magawang matinong pelikula. Akala nila e ganon ganon lang ang hinaharap ng bayan natin.
parang hindi ginagamit ang mga utak.
pero kung iisipin mo, wally bayola as jun lozada, jose manalo as benjamin abalos, jimmy santos as FG...
PWEDE!
GEisha: bwahahahhaha! bagay na bagay! galing mo sigurong casting manager tapsiboy! malamang lalangawin mga sinehan nyan pag pinapalabas yung pelikula nila! bka nga mas gustuhin pa ng mga taong panoorin ang life story ni mahal at mura keysa kanila! :) gow mowning tapsiboy :)
Diyos ko! Pulos na Lang Rally ng rally ang mga Pinoy
ReplyDeleteGretchen,Kris...DO SOMETHING!!!!!!
Geisha: hahahhaah :D walang magagawa ang mga yan!
^What Do you Mean? laos na mga Controversy gimmicks nila?
ReplyDeleteOh my....We are Doomed!!!!!!
GEisha: di naman.. napaka untimely din naman kasi kung maghubo't hubad sila sa kasagsagan ng mga political issues ng bansa. hindi nila kayang takpan ng showbiz controversies and ZTE.
