The slogan was Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap (If no one's corrupt, no one will live in poverty anymore). Or something like that. =o='
Many o'them has already given promise to bring the Philippines to the top. We had our glory days back in the day. We were literally at the top. *Sigh* I mean we almost beat the NBA to a pulp. The NBA isn't the only gauge though. There're plenty, but anyway...
I was observing the behavior patterns of the people in the city one day. It wasn't the psychology type of thing, just the ordinary kinda thing.
Looking at their eyes, I can say that they are really having a hard time with their lives. (I'm blessed and thankful to have a good life!) They are just living the Philippine Dream - Work, earn money, eat three times a day. No dreams, no hope, whatsoever.
These people are from the middle to the lower class. These are the people who think that P-Noy will be able to change the way they are living. These people are the ones whom P-Noy gave hope to. And these people aren't doing anything to help themselves. Like WTH!
All of the Filipinos had their spirits off the charts when we ousted Erap and put GMA on the spot. A year later, a coup was plotted and almost went all the way. A couple more years, hundreds of rallies were initiated. And at the end of her term, hundreds more people watched her gave her thrown to P-Noy. Yes, the Filipinos were there, no clapping, no praises, just there watching.
One thing that's common to all Filipinos is that we are all LAZY. Most of us just sit back, relax, and wait for opportunities to knock on our doorsteps. BUT, one thing that's common also to all of us is that when that opportunities come to us, we hold on until our dreams of living a good life is fulfilled.
Here we are again. P-Noy is has been on the spot for over a month and, yes, he is charging his way to change the Philippines. I have high hopes for the guy. (I voted for Gordon though. He should have won, and.. oh well!) But we have got to do our part also. We should help the guy change what is needed to be changed. We shouldn't tolerate mistakes. We should stop the insanity that the government has.
What scares me though is that P-Noy might be like the ordinary college student. At the start of the term, they all get excited; aiming for the top and all. Midterms come and after seeing their grades which aren't so good even though they have done their best, they start to lower their standards. Pre-finals come and they are already losing the habit of studying. Finals - they just aim for the passing grade. They may also be thinking of telling their parents beforehand that even though they did their best that term, they just couldn't make it.
I hope P-Noy will be able to get help from all Filipinos in all of the land to make the Philippines rise up from the ruble that we are in. In this manner, no uprising will occur.
God bless the Philippines!
