On the contrary, Mr. Carrera, you are the one who needs to wake up. I might be daydreaming at times but, at the very least, I always have high hopes and dreams for our beloved country, Philippines. Do you?
I respectfully disagree with you when you said, “Philippines became a nation of scoundrels and scalawags long time ago.” As far as I can remember, the country was always a nation of good people with good hearts, millions upon millions of them and definitely never became a nation of scoundrels and scalawags. It will never become a nation of those kinds of people. They are totally outnumbered by the millions. They have no place in our society. They can always try to take control but their real intentions and true colors will be exposed. They have no place to hide in the more than 7000 islands and islets of the country as long as more than 80 million people are vigilant to their illegal and criminal activities and will do their share as Filipino citizens. Evil doers will never succeed.
Maybe the difference in our opinion can be attributed to the way we look at things. Obviously, we are looking at the country from a different perspective. From my point of view, I am enjoying the beauty of the country and its people, whereas, you seem to be enjoying the ugliness beyond that beauty just like some other blind people I came to know. Wake up and open your eyes, Mr. Carrera, in case you are having a nightmare while making your recent posting.
