my take...
=p=o=l=i=t=i=c=s=
there's a lot talk about this lately. and i'd have to agree that the way things are being done just shows how deeply telenovelas have gotten into the core of our beings... and we all act as if we're part of this new soap about politics... initially what i wanted to do is to gather my thoughts about the matter but thinking about it is just... too exhausting... all these talks about it, whether it be pro or anti-administration just keeps the heat level up... and i doubt if it would be possible to resolve things between these nag-uumpugang bato. i believe that:
1. all Filipinos have the right to hear the said gloriagates tape. but then again, who is to say which indeed is the original copy? with the proliferation of different versions of the hello garci ringtones, how can one say if that tape hasn't been in any way altered? i've always believed in the current President's wit... with the way she handles her government she is indeed cunning... and i'm pretty sure she has already made up a foolproof course of action up her sleeve (and this was what caused the delay of her well-worded apology that only says in sum "i'm sorry, but can we please just forgive and forget?")
2. we should not start another "EDSA X" please... it has become a habit already. a bad one at that. i'd like to say that we should allow this matter to undergo due process of law... the constitution under which each citizen of the Philippines should be - no matter the age, no matter the position, employed or unemployed, President or ex-President... and yet, that suggestion would prove to be useless under the manipulative hands of those in power... unless all of their cellphone conversations be wiretapped... and unless each of their thoughts be read out aloud as the people involved in this scam -and in any sort of corruption- think each thought...
3. what is left for us to do is to pray for this country... everything is so subjective at this point... the country's being divided... friends of cousins of the neighbor of dot-dot-dot side with whoever because of the "affiliation"... and the people involved, those who are in the wrong will continue to try to hide their faults from public... bigger lies to cover the lies that has already been committed... and the longer it takes... the more and bigger lies there will be. unless they be bugged by their conscience... unless the end of the world comes... and we reach Judgment Day when the Judge won't be concerned of death threats or favors that he will receive from the one in power... because the Judge IS the most powerful... and nothing can be hidden from Him coz He IS the Truth... ><
