Pilipinas: Mid-2014

Daming nangyayari sa Pilipinas ngayon. Daming hang-ups, daming balita. From the PDAF scam to DAP, to El Niño, hazing, the 2016 election, Chinese island-grabbing. Dami ano? Sa isang housewife na tulad ko, nakaka-windang ng utak kapag isa isa mo silang inisip.Ano ba meron sa Pilipinas at ganito ka-grabe ang problema ng mga Filipino? Ganun ba tayo ka-special kay Papa God para bigyan tayo ng samu't-saring problema? Kaya ba natin to?

Two senators are now detained for the PDAF scam. Now, PNoy is under trouble for the DAP. Sabi ng SC "unconstitutional" daw. Others wanted him impeached. Sino papalit kapag na-impeached si PNoy? Si Binay? OMG. Our government system sucks. IMHO, It really does. Canadian pays higher taxes than us, and they don't give a damn if they do because you know what? They know that their taxes will serve them. Better health services, better lives for those who still lives below poverty line. The Canadian government provides for their people. Sa Pilipinas? the BIR is really doing their job in collecting taxes from the Filipino people, but who serves the Filipino? Certainly not the government. Wala ngang health services na libre e. The taxes go, as seen in the PDAF scam, in the pockets of the politicians. The same politician na binoto natin para pagsilbihan tayo, but it is going the other way around. We are serving them, by giving them our hard earned money, through taxes. Pag hindi ka nagbayad ng tax, sasabihin ng BIR, obligasyon yan ng bawat Filipino, pero pwera mga politiko???  Hindi ba't obligation nila na pagsilbihan si Juan dela Cruz?

El Niño phenomenon naman, eto na yata ang summer na grabe ang init. As in. At July na ha, pero feeling summer pa rin ang peg ng mga kababayan natin. We'll see kapag may tumama na naman na baha at bagyo sa metro, news-breaking ulit. Then dun sila magahahakot ng mga basura sa drainage. Sabi nga "AMAZING!!!"  huh???

Dami ng problema pa ng Pinas, tapos ayaw pa tayo tantanan ng China sa Spratly-issue. Ayaw pa i-balato na lang sa atin e .
 
Eto pa isang  nakaka-windang, who would've thought na yung presyo ng garlic at ginger e tataas ng at least 300 per kilo?  Mas mahal pa sa baboy at baka. Hay. Pero ika nga ng isang ordinaryong Pinoy, lilipas din yan, gaya ng mga problema natin, lilipas din ang lahat. 

Matiisin e.

But as a nation, we are blessed. Sa dinami-dami ng problema ng Pilipinas simula pa ni kopong-kopong e I can humbly say na isa tayo sa fave ni Papa God. We fall, yet we rise again, as one nation and one people. With beauty and with grace. 

It truly is more fun in the Philippines.Weh? Di nga??
