Political Brouhaha

Alas… here we go again. Everything seems to be soooo “constitutional” nowadays.

Protest raliies have become a fad lately, and the opposition claims that today’s staging is the loudest and the largest ever assembled… the big daddy of em all, the mother of all rallies, blah blah blah…

But if I may ask: do we really need these? I mean, if a transfer of power does happen: a good tomato with rotten tomatoes will eventually become a rotten tomato right? A basket of fresh apples with a spoiled apple will undoubtedly be spoiled right? Our favorite hangouts will still be there anyway so whats the use? Go to recto, get your plagiarized docs. Go to Quiapo, get your pirated stuff. Go to LTO, get your fixed license. Heck, go to Cubao and get snatched. Such is the state of of our country right now. Corruption is rooted way down into the system that whoever takes the cudgels now and later it would still be hopeless. A change for the worse is the only change sensible given the present circumstances.

If we advocate change– genuine change, let us start with ourselves. Not with rallies, not with protests, but with ourselves.

Only then can we witness a steady recovery, because no amount of government effort is tantamount to a citizen pledging dedication to his country.

Capisce?
