Our President Estrada has done it again. Who would
have thought that he actually watched television with all the millions of things he has to
accumulate
I mean do. He even had the time to make a phone call!
Its pretty rare that a day passes that I dont hear
anything negative about our infamous President. Jokes that malign his intelligence (or
lack of), actions that break protocol, someone who was fired for no apparent reason or
someone else promoted for even less
if he hasnt done it, hes about to!
Its amazing how he can even wear his shoes in public. I mean, they have so many
teeth marks from the number of times he has put his foot in his mouth!
The latest buzz is that the public wants him out of office. I guess
everyone has had enough of the Presidents antics. It hasnt been too long in to
his term of office, and already, his country is turning on him. Thats not a good
sign.
Ok, so he is a bad President. He has not lived up to any of his
campaign promises and he is making a mockery of our beloved country. What else is new? At
the very least, he has been very entertaining!
Dont get me wrong, Im not on his side. But, you have to
admit, it was us, the citizens of the Philippines that put him in office in the first
place. Sure, no one will ever admit to that fact, but who is to blame after all? Its
not like he elected himself.
In the long history of politicians that "served"
(themselves) in our country, who hasnt let us down in one way or another? One
dictator imprisoned anyone that got in his way, while his wife became a world famous shoe
collector, another built an EXPO that eventually got EXPOSED. Then there were the yellow
ribbon years that were spent in the darkness (due to power outages). How different is this
actor that we call President?
Let me tell you. He is the most fun. The people of the Philippines
havent had this much fun in a long time. Jokes have clogged the "text"
lines since taking his oath of office. Newspapers havent had so much to write about
one guy. Even the Wall Street Journal got in to the action. Television personalities and
shows can easily gain ratings by just portraying him in one form or another. He is bigger
that basket ball! If only there was a way to score this kind of phenomenon, gamblers could
even share in the festivities.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Its true this administration
has been one of the darkest that ever came about in the history of the Philippines. But, I
believe that no one is useless. Even BAD EXAMPLES can teach us what NOT to do. There is a
lesson in here, somewhere. As a country, its up to us to learn from this experience.
Good morning RCMA! This is your wake up call. (oops! Wrong section!)
