THIS IS MY 20TH POST-- PRES. MARCOS IS WRONG, A LOT. WE HAVE NO PATH FORWARD AND CORRUPTION WILL BE THE CATALYST FOR THE NATION’S DOWNFALL.

 

With Pres. Marcos, Jr, walls are going up, not coming down. The decades have brought what feels like an endless parade of starts and stalemates … missed opportunities… shattered hopes… and diminishing returns. That illuminate the truths about our country’s situation and circumstances; this is now the quintessential examples of the effects of corruption that Pres. Marcos keeps evading to confront head-on. I JUST DON’T KNOW HOW HIS CRITICAL THINKING WORKS. YOU’LL BE THE JUDGE. The degradation is compounded by the sense that no one cares… that Pres. Marcos is oblivious to the hardships the Filipinos endure. And the worst threat of all is the cynicism so many people feel… the sense that Filipinos’ peace is hopeless… that we’ll never find a solution. If Pres. Marcos says we throw up our hands and say, “The problem of Corruption cannot be stopped,” we’re not just writing off a “process”… or writing off a “road map.” We’re writing off people’s lives.

The government treasury is always out of money that they’re now scrambling which source they will dive into to fund different important social services. It’s like tracing your finger on a Mobius Strip, going round in an infinite loop. What the government are now eyeing is the creation of the MAHARLIKA FUND using pensioners money and the money deposited in the Central Bank—JESUS-MARIA-E-JOSEPH, it feels like a blow to our very existence. You see, it’s not about how much money you earned; it’s about how much you can save and keep moving forward. Here’s the thing: Imagine our government has a container where all the country’s resources are stored in order to function effectively. No matter how many Billions the economy is pumping into the container that it took years to reach to save them, you can’t stop these Snakes being around on the very top of the food chain, and they bite off more than they can chew.

The President controls the doorway of the container, and he’s in charge of what he gives access to. But we are now living at a time when Corruption has the cultural significance in our country today. The corruptors/thieves have now taken up residence in the house. That means, they are connected to the supply line and they’re going to let it run dry. Fear, worry, doubt, insecurity that have ruled the space in our country are very strong because the thieves are all living in the house. Dragging us down, stealing our money, taking our peace. Your hatred has to go out to them as they actually sprinkled bad luck to the nation. That is the way it’s been, that’s the way it would continue, unless they will be stopped.

Mr. Marcos, Jr was given an honor and the responsibility by the 31 million Filipinos to be the President of our Philippine Republic. Then, the citizenry would now have a reasonable expectation the Pres. Marcos will do his duty and obligation as President. Clearly, Corruption is by any measure the biggest issue to be addressed by Pres. Marcos in our country. However, Mr. Marcos stated in that interview by Mr. Erwin Tulfo that and I quote “YUNG CORRUPTION, TALAGANG HINDI MATITIGIL YAN. DAHIL AS I KEEP REMINDING EVERYONE, CORRUPTION IS NOT A FILIPINO CONDITION, IT IS A HUMAN CONDITION.” This declaration by Pres. Marcos completely derailed his duties and obligations as President from the beginning. It’s kind of he just become the President of the Nation in order to pour salt into the wounds of the people. How many more damage our country will suffer due to the implicit bias of Pres. Marcos viz-a-vis corruption in his administration. Thus, he betrays both the trust of the public and the oath he has sworn to.

Now, the Filipinos are faced with an impossibly difficult and emotional traumatizing situation with Mr. Marcos. It demonstrates the lengths that he was willing to go in an effort to advance his own career at the expense of innocent citizens. Be careful who you have around as the President because a lot of people who you think you can trust, you can’t.

May I say to Mr. Marcos, if you're not able or you're not willing to live up to that honor and responsibility, get out of that position. I say to the good public officials in the entire administration, if you see a fellow official that's unwilling or unable to live up to that responsibility, don't tarnish your name by standing there doing nothing. You need to intervene; you need to say we are subject to the law and you may not violate the law by using your power to commit corruption; and you may not cover up a matter.

FOR PRES. MARCOS, JR, WE, THE FILIPINOS, NEED TO SEE SIGNS OF HOPE, WE NEED SUSTAINED COMMITMENT… CREATIVE ENGAGEMENT… AND LEADERSHIP… TO KEEP THE NATION ON THE PATH TO PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE. FOR NOW, YOU ARE A FAILURE. SAYANG LANG ANG 31 MILLION WHO VOTED FOR YOU. YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF MR. P R E S I D E N T.
