Telenovela of Politics

Politics flooded the everyday frontpages of tabloid, occuring to me as the biggest telenovela of life, starring the big names of the so-called leaders of this damaged country. Different political parties currently presenting witnesses after witnesses, hurling accusations against each other and not surprisingly, some witnesses are getting over the fence for noble reasons accordingly.(how much?). It's been quite a pitiful sight for the political environment of the only christian nation in the far east.

And now there exist a favorite ringtone of the masses....HELLOW GARCI!, that given birth to the word, IMPEACHMENT. And probably, to escape humiliation and to have a graceful exit, they are inviting everyone to party...and do the CHA-CHA. Compromises after compromises being done to keep an issue flaming or perhaps to cover one...and what does it accomplish for the filipino masses? Nothing significant ..err just an entertaiment perhaps, which filipino loves, a true to life telenovela as what I've said. Now I'm completely convinced of the one liner I have read somewhere...

We do not fear to do wrong, what we fear is to be caught doing wrong.

It has some light of truhtfulness in it as what our current political situation is conveying. Our sense of righteousness is being blinded (most of the time) by the desire of personnal gain. Our norm of conduct is generally prompted by expediency rather than by principle. We are poor and still becoming poorer. And sadly, there are people among us who are more inclined to occupy a position rather than to contribute for uplifment of the people's livelihood.

I honestly think that changing the system is good as the situation calls for it but currently, It's not the system that needs to be change! it's the persons behind the system who are tasked to implement it religiously. We must not be a member of NATO anymore!(No Actions, Talks Only....that is!) How many systems did we change for the past years yet our condition still worsens. If we are to truly change this nation towards greatness, we must first undergo changes from within, because only changed people can bring about change.......and so the telenovela could have a happy ending.

If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and I will heal their land...
