One blog entry a month, that's me. So here I am again trying to make use of my time in front of the keyboard while tons of examination papers are waiting to be checked, sadly I'm not in the mood to do some checking tonight. There's this Filipino character that makes me feel uncomfortable about, lately in the news a certain city official forced a suspected scam artist into eating fake land titles that's according to news reports. Then, as we mourn the death of the king of comedy in our country and the public clamor for his immediate naming as a national artist. What caught my attention that is quite disturbing is the reaction of some people in many online communities, that is the argument of agreeing on something that violates ones right simply because that person is a criminal and on agreeing of doing something in haste without the thing called process. Many argued that it is fine for the city official to violate peoples right since he is a scam artist and the argument of disregarding required processes just to give way to a popular demand. I for one is hate people who takes advantage of others weaknesses and they should be burned in hell and I too is a big fan of the king of comedy but I need to open my mind and not let my personal beliefs be the bases. The constitution guarantees protection to ALL, you may be the victim or the accused, the same that this nation have laws and rules to follow that everyone should adhere regardless of your stature. People must realize that the rule of law is so important that no one even the highest official of the land has the right to be above it. Many in government past or present tends to forget about these laws and we as the government (people) should be the one who will take the stand and remind them of their wrongdoings instead of patronizing them. Peace.
After a much heated campaigns the election fever are almost finally over. Pending the final canvassing of votes by the congress the people have chosen a new leader to rule the country for the next 6 years. The presumptive president is a mayor from a city down south of the Philippines known for his iron fisted style of government. What makes this election interesting is the process on how people now choose their leaders. Traditionally, we oath to go for people with great experience, plans, smart and proper character and attitude someone we normally call 'honorable'. This election changed that idea, people now go for leaders with real simple plans to solve recurring problems in the society, strong work portfolio to showcase their capability to govern and implement real solutions. Good luck to the newly elected president, I wish you well in your quest to change this country into something everyone wish it should be. Peace!
