I want to share my thoughts as our country is in the middle of crisis again with the NBN-ZTE deal issue and the Edsa Revolution’s Anniversary is coming 2 days from now…

Like any of you, I too have been following the hearings, the news from both television and radio stations.

From then on, I really don’t like Gloria to be the leader of our country. I didn’t vote for her during the 2004 presidential elections. I am a Bicolana, a public school teacher and a supporter (member of RPYM- Roco for President Youth Movement) of former senator and Dep- Ed Secretary Raul S. Roco. He was my bet; he was the one I voted for because I believed that he was the most capable of all the candidates to lead our country.

In my house, school and church, I was taught that cheating, stealing, and lying is bad. Sa inyo, hindi ba ganun din? No leader of our already suffering country should be able to get away with that.

So I want the impeachment of Gloria to push through. Let Gloria stay hanggang matapos ang hearing at lumabas lahat ng taong involved sa gulong ito (the NBN- ZTE deal). Sa tingin ko hindi talaga natin kailangan ngayon ng another People Power. Tama, nakakasawa na pero nakakalungkot pa rin kapag may naririnig akong nagsasabi na “okey na ako ki Gloria, wala namang ibang papalit eh, pare-pareho lang naman.”

Para sa'yo Kaibigan…

Ikaw na nabubuhay sa araw araw na hindi nagnanakaw ng pera sa trabaho, na sinusubukang wag mandaya sa exam, at wag magsinungaling sa magulang o kaibigan… papayag ka lang na ang presidenteng nagpapatakbo ng bansa mo ganun? Ikaw na nagpapakahirap araw araw mag aral at magtrabaho ng marangal, tapos dahil lang may power at pera ang pangulo, kahit walang dangal, okey na yun sayo? Napaka walang bilib naman natin sa ating bansa. Nakakalungkot naman na ang ganitong klaseng pangulo na lang ang best option natin. Okey lang ba sayo yun?

Ibang- iba ang laban na to. The people who want the truth to come out aren’t upholding one person to replace her. Some say this is the downfall of the opposition. I think it’s the strength. It only means na hindi personality-driven ang panawagan ng mga tao. It’s ideal driven. The ideal na dapat ang corruption ang mawala sa gobyerno not only the corrupt!

Yes, it doesn’t just take the changing of a President to change the country. But it has to start! If people keep saying na lahat kailangan magbago, pero hindi naman nasisimulan, nothing will happen. The ousting of Gloria will not clean the system in one snap, definitely, but it will prove to everyone that change CAN happen.

It’s so frustrating when I heard somebody said, “okey lang mandaya at mangurakot sya.. lahat naman ng nakaupo sa gobyerno ganun ginagawa.”

Ganun?! Rizal, Bonifacio, Ninoy and all our other heroes must be crying in their graves. Sila nga, they fought for freedom of our country, hindi personal freedom lang, and they fought na buhay ang sinasangla nila. Tayo? We are “free people” and “what is right” na nga lang ang pinaglalaban natin di pa natin magawa?! Hindi na nga buhay ang on the line dito eh, konting discomfort na lang di pa natin magawa?

Prof. David once wrote an article “salute to the new” in a Philippine daily inquirer “(we) deserve a better president, and this generation knows it”. Tama sya.. Don’t you think we deserve to have a better leader? Don’t you think we deserve to be treated better?

We deserve a better Philippines, and this generation knows it.. more than that, this generation knows that we CAN do something about it. So, LET US DO something about it.

To all the Congressmen..

You are the “representatives” of your respective districts, dahil kayo po ang boses ng mga mamamayan sa gobyerno.

Kung lahat ng surveys ay nagsasabing napakalaking porsyento ng mga Pilipino ang wala ng tiwala sa pangulo at mayorya daw ng mga Pilipino ay naniniwalang nandaya, nagnakaw at nagsinungaling ang pangulo, hindi po ba dapat ang boses na yun ang naririnig natin sa Kongreso?

Madami ring reports ang nagsasabing kahit naniniwala ang taong guilty si Pangulong Gloria, pagod na silang mag rally. Kaya magtatrabaho na lang sila para makapaglagay ng pagkain sa tiyan nila at ng kanilang mga pamilya.. kahit gusto din nilang malaman ang katotohanan, iba ang kanilang kailangang piliing gawin para lang mabuhay.

Ayaw na nilang mag rally, ayaw na nilang makialam sa pulitika, dahil pakiramdam nila wala naman silang magagawa….

Which is where you, our supposed-to-be-honorable congressman come in. Pwede po ba? Fight for those who can’t fight for themselves..

To the witnesses and pro-impeachment movers…

I hope what people accuse you of, having selfish motives, isn’t true. I hope everyone just really honestly and sincerely want to make a big start in eliminating corruption.

To Madam Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo..

I say this with all due respect and kahit di nyo to mabasa, sana mahiya naman kayo..

When the supreme court said the e-vat is constitutional, you called on your people.. kahit hirap silang makakuha ng pagkain sa mesa nila araw-araw, kahit gula-gulanit ang damit ng mga anak nila, kahit napapabayaan silang may sakit dahil walang serbisyo medical na sapat, kahit halos kulang pa ang sahod nila sa pambayad ng pagkain, kuryente, tubig, pambili ng gas, kahit nagpapatayan na ang mga tao dahil sa pangangailangan sa pera.. you called on your people.. in your to SACRIFICE for the greater good of the country.

Tablan naman sana kayo ng hiya.. lead by example. MAUNA PO KAYO. Sacrifice. We respect that you don’t want to step down.. pero patunayan nyo muna pong hindi nyo kinukurakot ang pera ng bansa bago kayo humingi ng madaming buwis sa tao.

When your kids were growing up, and let’s say Mikey came home extremely late from a party. Didn’t you ever ask him, “Mikey! Anong oras ka na umuwi? San ka nanggaling?” Di ba gugustuhin mong magsabi sya ng totoo? Di ba masasaktan ka kung nagsisinungaling sya at pinagtakpan ng kanyang mga kaibigan? At hindi ba magagalit ka kung nung tinanong mo sya hindi ka nya sinagot at tinalikuran ka at nag lock ng pintuan ng kanyang kwarto?

Mahiya naman po kayo. Baliktarin nyo po ang sitwasyon ngayon. Hindi na po bilang pangulo kundi bilang isang ina. Parang napakasama nyo naman pong ehemplo sa mga bata kung ganun…

When it was former President Estrada who was accused of different crimes, you were strong in saying that a political crisis calls for a political solution. You even added that you “regret to say but resignation is the only solution”.

..mahiya naman po kayo.., dapat the same applies to you now. Dati resignation ang solusyon, ano pala ngayon? Cha-cha again? Niloloko mo ba kami?

Yes we should move on for our country’s progress, for our children and for our children’s children. But I think it should start with you as our leader. If the allegations are not true, how hard it is for you to just answer? Regain the trust of your people, so that we can ALL work together for a REAL TAKE – OFF.

Disclaimer: To those who were able to read this, I hope you do not take anything against me. Ayoko na sanang makialam sa gulo pero ako’y isa ring mamamayang Pilipino, nagtatrabaho bilang isang guro para sa gobyerno, na nahihirapan na sa sitwasyon ng ating bansang sadlak na sa dusa. I just believe that this generation is different. We’re strong, idealistic, real and free. We’re smart enough to know when something very wrong is happening right in front of us. More than ever, now is the perfect time to start making our country better. I hope you believe too…..
