Rational Insanity
Noise is what the opposition is
There is as much integrity in the opposition as there is in the administration. While I don't personally approve of the alleged cheating by the administration in the last presidential elections, I believe that the economic efforts of this administration should be considered over and above something that it has already sought absolution for. At least there are the administration has embarked on tangible efforts to help this pathetic country in one way or another. What has the administration done so far? Aside from constantly bombarding the seating president with endless black propaganda, it has done nothing to help the masses that it claims to be fighting for.
Corazon Aquino, for instance - is an obvious political turn-coat. She has destroyed whatever integrity she has left in her osteoporotic bones by fluttering from one side to another, and all because of what? Personally, I will now say it is because of her vested interests, just like all the other political personalities claiming to be 'for the masa'. Aquino suddenly shifted her stand when the tenants of hacienda Luisita were given what they deserved for the years that they have been kept in the dark as slaves by the Cojuangco family. This meant that the hacienda had to be distributed to the tenants against the will of the Cojuangcos. I find it very disconcerting seeing Corazon Aquino marching in the streets with the likes of Loi Ejercito, Panfilo Lacson, Susan Roces, and all the other political hypocrites! My goodness! I thought someone who has EDSA I to her credit would not be swayed by political innuendo and cleverly disguised efforts at destabilization!
Recently, another opposition senator lashed back at deposed President Estrada who is also an oppositionist. Lacson revealed that Estrada had been using jueteng money to fund his Muslim Youth Foundation. Then there is the crying lady of the Senate; Jamby Madrigal, who is also an oppositionist had a bout with another opposition senator, Juan Ponce Enrile. As if this is not enough, Duce, the star witness of the opposition against the first gentleman in the alleged jueteng payola case, is now working for the government, managing the newly implemented Small Town Lottery. All these simply prove that all the opposition is saying is crap, crap, and more crap.
Honestly, I am not for the administration because, personally, I also believe that there was cheating in some way during the last presidential elections, but who among those in power now, DID NOT CHEAT? 'Let he who has no fault cast the first stone.' It is on this premise that I would rather settle for someone who cheated but has a material economic plan for the country instead of a lousy, noisy, handful that cannot even pull its forces together or decide on a common goal to begin with. True, the opposition wants PGMA out, but what then? Who would be the better alternative?
The opposition has been hinting on a transition government, but who will head this transition government? The alternatives that the opposition offer are just as smoky and cloudy as their no use, misdirected energies manifested by endless complaining, ranting, and mud slinging.
The only thing to say at this point is, tigilan niyo na, please! Those in the countryside have always been impartial when it comes to issues like this, but the noise the opposition is making is becoming more and more irritating that instead of people from the countryside wanting to believe in what they are saying, hands are inevitably raised to cover the proverbial Filipino eyes and ears that are always vigilant in keeping watch over the government. True, everybody is affected by what is happening, but it seems to me that only the people from the Greater Manila Area are going nuts over the resignation of PGMA and her relinquishing her office. As a result, the situation presents a terrible picture of a power hungry opposition that cannot wait for its turn and an administration that keeps of batting the ball off its court, trying to keep economic reforms in focus. Where does the sympathy of the people go to then, if this is the case?
Perhaps, the opposition should re-think its lousy strategy and they should start off by uniting themselves before doing anything else. The opposition is a farce - this is the main reason why most people are deaf and blind to their endless fuming. The opposition is causing a terrible environmental calamity - noise pollution.
