THE PREDICTION OF THE LATE PRESIDENT MLQ WAS PROVERBIAL

I Remember the slogan popularized by the late President Manuel L. Quezon: “I would rather have a government run like hell by Filipinos than under the American rule.” Indeed, our government has been in the hands of Filipinos ever since and what we have had in return is, they drove us down the trail of tears back to an emptier and lonelier house.

The chain of events attributing to the acts of every public official whom we keep on voting is absolutely and inexorably the pinnacle of injustice as they are violating the law with impunity. It makes you wonder how the mechanism of their ideas was like at a time that calls for clear-eyed thinking. IT WOULD CHOKE YOU UP! We would have no other logical conclusion, but they are emboldened in doing everything wrong because they found everyone as impotent and cannot do anything against them. We have allowed ourselves to be tamed by these public officials.

This sentiment being expressed is but the grain of mustard seed, the least of all seeds, but when it is grown because of our permission, it will surely become a large tree, overspreading the land with its boughs, so that the fowls of the air, the birds of prey, will come and lodge in the branches thereof.

From now on, We should not rush like a rat race for pointless pursuit into voting for a candidate that we look up to because of their stature, or because he/she buys votes, or is perceived brilliant, or because of his/her skill of persuasion. For even in relationships which are meant to last and to laugh, but sadly, it can break apart. Do we not believe that man is most noble, most creative, and most happy when under the rule of no mind and influence but his own?

I think if you’re going to vote for a particular candidate, not only you will look forward to figuring out where that candidate is going to bring us, it’s good also to look back in what direction that particular candidate had brought us in the past as well. There is no darkness that can conceal the bastardization and the abomination to corrupt that these reelectionist Senators and those who had a part in running the previous Pnoy administration, the fidus Achates like ex-CJ Sereno, have done to our Nation. They cannot brag that they are honest because they have not been caught or convicted.

Greatness is nothing but the results of habitually doing the right thing for the right reason. Sometimes it takes courage and integrity to do so but it's a small price to pay for the ultimate feeling of self-esteem that it offers and realize how important it is that we reach the end of the road and claim the prize.
