You unquestionably hit the nail on the head, Ms. Ric. Your deductions why Filipinos couldn't get out from the political pigsty they're in, is because they are unknowledgeable to tackle such trivial a task. That corruption precedes everything. Nothing accomplished without the grease.
Almost four (4) centuries of Spanish sovereignty, the Filipino did not pick up any substantial experience of governing themselves, but only the mastery of the rosary.
Came the Americans and their token recognition of independence. The outcome of that gesture after 61 years trying to emulate the Yankee brand of freedom brought us to the abyss of unfathomable irresponsibility, mismanagement and malfeasance.
The copied Constitution of the US imposed on the gullible Filipino did not help much as we can see the birthing of monstrous dreams, unfulfilled…scattered to the four winds. The dream… Charter Change (Cha-Cha), whatever you call it, that Oriel dreamed about is vacuous, hypocritical and vain. It cannot be adopted in that country… like you said, "It is only diced, sautéed, cooked for the Canadians".
So accurate, did Oriel overlook that this form of government was tried under Marcos and it was staged just to extend his rule eternal? It was a flop.
The Filipino is noted for his complaisance, bending to everybody's will. Like a drunk drinking anything offered him even for his own demise. But, the most significant about him, is his penchant of destroying his own creation…like a crocodile devouring its own young.
