THE MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME

Every dawn sends an eerie smoke that the brief dance between birth and death will not be over until the Covid-19 pandemic that is ravaging the world leaves the scene sooner than later. The President through the grant of emergency powers just recently by Congress is now ready to use the heavy hand of the government in a lot of ways to defend everyone, friend or foe from the disease.

But what kind of struck me are these Yellows: Robredo, Diokno, Sen. Pangilinan, Hontiveros, and their likes who keep on hurtling nasty barbs as they always do at PRRD. They are the nitpicker against Duterte even when those criticisms seem inconsequential. The least that they can do to help the country is to Zip their lips and shut down their mouth.

These villains seem to forget that the President is essentially keeping the lights on to ensure everyone, including themselves, their families and relatives even they are against him, will be protected on their personal situation from the Covid pandemic. So, I think, on that level, it was disappointing, to say the least, and we are sick and tired and angry at the indifference of these self-obsessed critics.

Covid pandemic seems to never stop killing people thus, fighting it is a colossal task. What we are facing is likened to an ocean sea with waves so high and it is exceedingly difficult to paddle through the plunging surf unless everyone must dig in with their paddle. The whole human race is racing against time to find a cure for it.

Accordingly, we must work in collaboration with one another and not in opposition against each other. Let’s be side by side with PRRD and march in rhythmic cadence with him into the direction that would enrich the world, the one that brings fulfillment and all the happiness we always had is suddenly revived.

Covid-19 pandemic is a challenge for which the stakes could not be higher. The least that everyone can expect is all hell of obstacles and oppositions there are to pull us down. Instead, We must roar as the final act of dominance. With determination, we are stronger than all the might of the world. From night’s darkest depth of our misery, we got a silver lining in Duterte-led government. We must protect him whatever it takes.
