DO NOT STIR UP THE HORNET’S NEST

I am the person that since I was in elementary, I was already idolizing National and Local politicians. I can still remember my favorite Senatorial candidates who were always at the tip of my tongue then and now, they are Antonino, Climaco, Katigbak, Manahan, Manglapus, Osias, Rodrigo, Ziga. And the Locals who are the likes of Mayors Tenying Borja and Seriña, and the idol of everyone, Emanuel ‘Maning’ Pelaez, and others. These kinds of politicians emerged the new breed of principled and honest politicians after the Icon Pres. Ramon Magsaysay died. Gone are the days that my generation was able to witness such kinds of politicians whose reputations were beyond reproach and they died with an unblemished record. They were the politicians who rivaled themselves in competing who among them had the best performance and took pride they were the best in serving their constituents. I’m nostalgic thinking about them.

During that time, our generation can easily identify who were the corrupt elective and appointive public officials because there were few of them and they noticeably had a lavish lifestyle marked of perversion and madness and we looked at them with contempt; and everyone avoided them, even their shadow. But now, it is the opposite. Politicians who were the poor jolt to riches as extreme as night and day as soon as they are in the government position. They rise to the top on a tide of greed and ambition and drown in it. Worst, they stick in coalition bind themselves together for life and death that all the millions in turquoise green, greener than the deepest sea they had widely scooped over time, manifesting their bestial taste, must never fly away. The irony is that those who were seen to embezzle or misappropriate the country’s funds are walking about as “big men” with their sycophants and everyone was mesmerized by the way they dressed, the way they talk; the way they move their hands and all are determined to imitate them and live the kind of life they were living.

These are the people who now wanted to oust PRRD and they are determined as hell to depose him as they cling to their loot, their heydays of milk and honey, that they cannot see their life without it. The Filipinos treasured PRRD who falls like manna from heaven as the light of dawn always comes right after the deepest darkness. All Filipinos who are steadfast in standing behind him will be assured that one glorious day we will reign and get back everything they got. Until we steer our destiny with glory to save ourselves, these senseless glutton will continue to imprison us, destroying anyone who speaks against their ambitions.
