A make-believe story to ponder
Posted on August 10, 2006 - Filed Under Punch Forum |
Presenting solutions in the forum by making them sounds like jokes is not funny. The future of our country and its people is not a joke. It must be taken seriously before it is too late. For all we know, we might be running out of time. Besides, it is very costly, more than one trillion pesos of taxpayers’ money annually.
You made me laugh because you need to be elected as president first. You need to start at a lower rank just like everybody. May anting-anting ka ba? Kaya ko naitanong kasi you reminded me of that guy who commanded Marcos to step down within 24 hrs because he is going to take over Malacanang and replace him as President. Kaya lang, hindi umubra ang kanilang mga anting-anting.
Kaunting criticism ko lang sa iyo ay nawala na kaagad ang iyong sense of humor. Paano ka kakandidato para maging presidente kung ganiyan? Mild pa lang ang aking criticism sa iyo kung ikumpara sa mga accusations at mga personal attack mo kay GMA. Kaya ka siguro galit na galit sa kaniya dahil sa Cha-cha dahil kung matutuloy ay masisira ang plano mong maging presidente.
By the way, you said in your previous posting, “When I was young and active in the church, I did not get a halo from any of the saints in heaven because all I did was pass the collection basket. For this reason, crusades, Armageddon and world damnation stuff, it is better to leave to the more knowledgeable.” That is exactly what people did around two thousand years ago. They left the world damnation stuff to the more knowledgeable Pharisees, Sadducees and Sanhedrin and look what happened. It was very unfortunate.
Contrary to what you said, I am not pro GMA the way you think I am mainly because I disagree with the way you treat Americans better than Filipinos by treating them with some kind of contempt and most especially the way you treat the President with total lack of respect accompanied by a feeling of intense dislike.
I am not pro futuristic president Fabella either. I am pro good Filipinos and after reading your postings, first impression makes it difficult for me to decide on your favor. First impression is really lasting. Thank you for calling me a friend anyway. It is an honor, Mr. futuristic president. How is that possible when you also said that my opinions are everywhere and not on a single idea where people like you can easily reach out to me? What? A president who cannot easily reach out to his people including someone he considered a friend? It does not make sense. You also said that you know where you are coming from and aware of where you want to be. We wish you all the best, Mr. futuristic president Fabella.
You reminded me of some politicians who want to serve the country so that they can help the poor and alleviate poverty. Some started at the bottom and some at higher government positions. They actually became part of the problems since the beginning of their political career instead of becoming part of the solutions. The end results are just broken promises to the people. Filipinos are learning the hard way but sooner or later we will politically mature just like other progressive countries. I hope and pray, it will be sooner not later.
Hindi madaling maging presidente, hindi ito biro, baka akala mo. Unang una, dapat mayroon kang sapat na campaign funds, maraming supporters at marangal na political party. Ni wala ka man lang partido yata? Hindi na bali, sa ngayon puwede kang magtatag ng iyong sariling partido.
Pagkatapos dapat manalo ka muna sa convention para maging official candidate ng iyong partido para sa pagka-presidente. Baka sa unang salpukan pa lamang ay talo ka na. Pagkatapos ng convention, kailangang manalo ka sa election. Winnable ka ba? Kung hindi ay hindi ka papasa sa rigid screening and orientation ng “Biskeg na Pangasinan”. Baka mismong mga kag-anak at kaibigan mo at kabaleyans natin ay hindi ka iboboto. Kailangang siguraduhin mo ito kundi nakakahiya. Maraming kang dapat pakibagayan, mga kaibigan, mga kamag-anak, mga kapartido, AFP, mga botante, religious and political leaders, CBCP and other religious organizations, NGOs, local and foreign traders or businessmen and their business organizations, rich and poor people, activists, leftist at mga iba pa. Kalimitang nakakasira sa Pangulo ay ang mga tao sa kaniyang paligid, friends and relatives. Kalimitan, ang nanalong Pangulo ay bigla na lang magkakaroon ng maraming mga kamag-anak at mga kaibigan.
Contrary to what you said in your posting, you do not really need to go looking inside your closets for any of your skeletons. Do not worry, if you do not have any, somebody will be creating one or more for you complete with some funny jokes about you and your life to make the election more exciting. Teka muna, ikaw ba ay natural born citizen? Paano iyan, residence ka ng USA at pro Americans more than pro Filipinos?
Pagkatapos ng election, pag ikaw ay talo, puwede kang bumalik sa iyong mga accusations of lying, cheating and stealing but this time ay ikaw ang nadaya. As usual, you can use this as grounds for impeachment. Kung ikaw ang nanalo at maging pangulo, manawari ay di mo mararanasan ang mga nararanasan ni GMA bilang Pangulo ngayon dahil sa kaniyang mga kritiko na parehas mo.
I wish you good luck Mr. futuristic president Fabella. Ingat ka lang, kasi baka ngayon pa lamang ay may gusto nang mang-coup d’etat o dili kaya ay mang-impeach sa iyo.
Just a make-believe story for us to ponder. Based on true story.
