The Reality


The Philippines is a very beautiful country. We have so many natural resources. But, what can we do, us Filipino people, about these natural resources if there will be no one to lead us? That’s why we have the Philippine government and the politicians to lead us. But here in the Philippines, or maybe in some other parts of the world, politics has been a very big issue. We often hear it in the news that some politicians are being thrown into jail because of corruption or maybe because of abuse in their powers. And that’s what I want to talk about in this blog post.

Politicians for me are very unreliable. We do not know what they are thinking. We do not know what they might be doing with the people’s money. We hear their complaints and arguments everyday in the news. They are very IRRESPONSIBLE politicians. You know what? All I can say is that why don’t they try doing things together for the good of the Philippine society? Why don’t they do projects for the good of the people than just waste the money of the people in doing trials in court or by using the money in their own political will?

Yeah right. They have been showing propagandas about education, economical development or health. But my question is can they actually do this when they are in the position? Maybe there will be some that can do the things stated in their propagandas but how about the others? Will we just sit here and wait for them finish in their debates or arguments? I’m tired of hearing their uncivilized criticisms about the present government. Don’t they know about the projects done by the Arroyo government? Maybe NO. Those politicians who are trying to pull down the government are down right selfish. You know why? ‘Coz I can see that they are doing these things because of POWER. Political power has been very effective in the Philippines and I know that these people who are currently opposing the Arroyo government don’t even know what the government has done to the economy and even for the people.

Should I introduce to them this T.V station, NBC 11, so that they will know what the government has done? Or should I go with them and tour the whole Philippines so that they will know what government projects has been put up like road building projects in Mindanao or the livelihood projects in baranggays here in the Philippines? Politicians in the Philippines are plain stupid. Yes, and I really mean it. Why don’t they try to look at the bright side on how the government has helped a lot of people especially in the rural areas and help in developing these projects?

I may just be a student but, I can also do something so that the politicians would open their eyes wide for them to see how the government has been building the Philippine economy and how it has given people job opportunities. Why don’t they try to be more dedicated on doing some economic and civic projects than just sit in the senate or congress and wait for the people to call them or to make some uncivilized actions or rallies for them to wake up to the reality? Why don’t they try to see what they can do for our country?
