THIS IS MY 18TH POST-- WE ARE NOW FLOATING IN SHARK-INFESTED WATERS, OR GOING ABOUT INTO THE JAWS OF A LION AS PRES. MARCOS, JR. WATCHED INTENTLY.

 

There is no doubt that the lives of the Filipinos are eviscerated because of the corrupt system in the government. President Marcos, Jr. didn’t want to do anything about it because for him, “talagang hindi matitigil yan; it is a human condition.” This was the statement that pulled the bottom out of his world and made him regret his choices; the phrase is the caprice that seemed cruelly inappropriate for a President, kind of leaving the Filipinos floating in shark-infested waters to be eaten or going about into the jaws of a lion.  

Pres, Marcos, Jr. failed to consider, that when you decide to confront the problem, it can lead to so many good things to happen. But sadly, he chose to cringed and shrank against the wall with an involuntary gasp from solving Corruption. This is a testament to his terrible exercise of his duties and obligation as President of the Philippines, and this type of conduct only serves to erode the public confidence on him. What he was talking about, that tells every Filipino that’s not just smoke, there’s some fire, then, that might be elevated to the point where Pres. Marcos, Jr. is willing to give up his people, making their lives a living hell. He is driving us down the trail of tears back to an emptier and lonelier house. That’s the bottom line.

If that’s the case, how would that be our country’s interest is difficult to fathom. How would pushing everyone to the grave making our country great again? The law of unintended consequences is surely in play. Being the President, Marcos, Jr. must emit a piercing whistle that gathers a head of steam too high and have the government on a string, and more importantly in his vision to get rid of Corruption. Corruption is in fact a fight in which there shouldn’t be any losers. But if Pres. Marcos Jr, chooses to back down from the challenge like a frightened rabbit, it will certainly end with no winners.

We must pressure Pres. Marcos, Jr. It’s like, “He who cannot obey himself will be commanded”. Therefore, let’s take him to deep waters to put his alleged vocation to give the Filipinos a better life to the test. Corruption, like a plague, has brought our country to economic doldrums and poverty. That was in a way hard to watch but in a way, you couldn’t look away. You know we are in a fight and we aren’t about to give any chances to be defeated, but to overcome what’s trying to stop you.

Pres. Marcos, Jr. should have known better that among the things that you think would preclude success to a country, nothing beats corruption that is wide ranging and uncontrollable, like the Philippines. His approach in refusing to solve corruption because “It was not a Filipino condition, but a Human condition”, trampled his duties and obligation as President to compile a pathetic excuse without reasonable basis. Truly, Pres. Marcos, Jr. preposterously worked this hard to neglect common sense by not doing anything about the problem of corruption in the country for which he is the President regardless of the illegality or immoral connotation associated with the inaccuracy of his action and decision.
