I am proud to be Filipino. I’m not proud of Philippine politics.
It’s a broken record. A mockery of sorts that does not even put due consideration to the thousands of lives they’ve put on hold just because of the circus that’s perrenially in town. And I am not just talking about the government officials of the opposing parties. I am talking about the media– who relentlessly fan the fires, feeding it more oxygen to combust. The socio-civic groups who are in it for the publicity. Even the religious leaders, who instead of praying for peace and resolution, are causing a stir out of this jolly mess. Yes, I think politics is an interplay of all these elements.
I don’t ACTUALLY blame it entirely on the people in office.
