YOU CAN FIND GOLD IN THE DIRT

I am extremely concerned with what PRRD had floated last Tuesday that he is contemplating of stepping down because even he is not letting every shot in the bow unanswered it seems corruption doesn’t seem to go away. Sir, you might have plenty of men but there are only a few who are real policemen and soldiers. The rest are only making phony wars on terrorism, the war on drugs, and the war on corruption. The phony wars are merely a cat-and-mouse game being fought with one hand and fed with the other.

The point I am driving out is that there are only two categories of people in our society, and they are the very rich, and all the others are poor. Between the two, there is an ocean difference as to the application of the law; the implementation of the law; and the dispensation of justice. The rich people have all the advantages because they can always flaunt the law. If they are caught, they can always turn the result of the investigation to their side. If the case reaches the court, they can always tip the scale of justice in their favor by bribing the judge. A lot of it isn’t good and the poor are crawling themselves out of those circumstances.

If this is the case, who would not want to become very rich? And to think that the only way to become one is to corrupt either in the government or the entrepreneur or be a drug lord. This is the reason why corruption is extremely difficult to stop or even minimized. I’m here to warn people and you keep on taking me in stride, this isn’t a game, life has largely gone dark. Everybody wants to corrupt because there is heaven up there. So that, if you seek advice from your surroundings who are rich, their ideas only focussing on how to corrupt some more, they can never tell you the right solution.

Can we solve Corruption? Yes, we can and everybody who belongs to the dark side of life like us has the most reliable idea. We, the poor ones have been thinking all the time from sunrise to sunset about the said solution because we are already etching closer to the edge of a cliff and we are impatient of the situation, in the sense, that even if we are right, even if we are the victim, we always lose in the game against them.

Mr. President, You can find gold in the smallest of details which springs from the fountain of good conscience if you’re willing to be patient. Sometimes even the mightiest creature in the sea needs help from the weak and the meek because their clever techniques and methods can move one mountain and build another. After all, Big Things come in small packages.
