BIGAS, BALA, BATUTA, SA KUMAKALAM NA SIKMURA


Isn't it depressing to think how the government can spend 30-35 MILLION PESOS for a one day EDSA event but fails to provide the basic food for its people. 


Minsan hindi natin lubos maunawaan kung bakit hindi maibigay ng ating gobyerno ang pangangailangan ng mga simpleng mamamayan na ang kagustuhan lang ay may maihain sa kanilang hapag kainan. 
When a 30 Million pesos is used to buy cavans of rice for these farmers. It should have been more than enough.
30 Million pesos was used for annual anniversary of EDSA where it benefits no one. One should be able to move on from the past.
Good governance is spending time and money for the people and for the people alone. Now I'm asking, where'd my taxes go?

EDSA Revolution vs People Hunger



It is funny how the Philippine government would spend 30-35 millions of pesos for a day event when 30 million of Filipinos does not even have a decent meal in their plate, 30% of its population live in shanties, others are homeless, public schools does not have enough classroom and government offices would complain "kulang ang budget kaya hindi nagawa." 
Sometimes, the state of the country mostly depends on how the government use its resources.
The EDSA revolution may have a big impact on today's independence but it also is a depiction of politicians greed for position and power.

40 Years Ago.. and 40 Years After..

September 21, 1972, President Ferdinand E. Marcos placed the Philippines under Martial Law. The declaration issued under Proclamation 1081.

I was born 1982. Still under the Martial Law. I am a Martial Law baby.

My brother on the other hand is an EDSA 1 baby.

Now, my nephew is an e-martial law baby.

FOI Bill, RH Bill and Sin Tax Bill were not yet signed.

RA 10175 contradicts to our freedom of speech. Any negative post against a person can now be considered as libel. Hello, Online Martial Law! Or I should say E-MARTIAL LAW.
