Philippine Politics

Filipinos always blame them for their faults and not themselves. The Filipinos voted for a corrupt government, this is the actual voice of the people. We are not smart enough to look at politics in a ideal way. We see that Elections is just as simple as jumping, not as complicated as launching a space craft.

Westernized Elections in America hold debates and thorough campaigns. Here? In the Philippines, NO. We Filipinos do not realize that we are corrupt as well, because this is the result of extreme personalism. It is in our national identity.

No one should blame the government officials, but blame ourselves. The Filipino people summon popular people in office and after a month, the efficiency of those people are gradually decreased.

We do not realize that we have made alot of wrong choices in the contemporary republic. Scandals and allegations are aimed at the common ears and eyes of the republic. For the Filipinos, Scandals and allegations, are all entertainment, because we have no means to create a revolution of reforms.

The Legislators do not see the big picture of the problems. They are more on investigation than creating bills and laws. They abuse their own power on inquiries. I am not naming names for all you know who these people are.

Why do Filipinos need to be hypocritical and arrogant? They are saying "I must be important! I must be popular! I must race to the top to be president!" This is purely pathetic to head an internal sovereignty.

Politicians these days are goons. Politicians of the future generations will be in a must worse state that today. They will not be able to fix chaos, and not able to manage the country well. Thus, the economy crashes, poverty rises in all cases and the sovereignty will no longer be functioning and it will ultimately be rejected from all listed organizations and lose its status of international recognition as a state. This will be the worst case scenario, if the people are not wise enough to choose an ideal politician.

I suggest that the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) should start the policies of presidential debates, because it will not eliminate fraud but minimize the chances of it. Look at AMERICA, we should be following the same footsteps, shouldn't we?

ulterior injustices will be quite unnoticeable, because we Filipinos got used to injustices.

Somehow, we do not understand or interpret correctly how an ideal political system works. The system of government fluctuated with the sudden shifts of unicameral-to-bicameral legislature and vice versa. The point is the problem is in the Filipinos, not the system.

I am more comfortable if we are still a commonwealth right now, because we would be in a more developed state than we actually are. We would have less poverty. Learn from the superpowers and our own experiences as a state.

It is foolish and quite idiotic to see a newscaster or a boxer in office. Where is the commited reputation? It is no longer visible to the great optics of the Filipinos.

There should be a Philippine version of Obama and NO I do not recommend Mayor Binay for the position.

I must say that People Power II is the worst mistake of the Filipinos, because they have worsen the conditions that will support a good government.

Revolution of Reforms not rebellion is necessary to revitalize the systematic bureaucracies from deepening catastrophies. This "Revolution of Reforms" means a complete revamp of the government. The justice system (Judiciary department) should be more active when doing their job. There must be new laws that can regulate justice in the country.

The Revolution of Reforms will solely abide to Articles 2 and 3 of the 1986 Constitution. Because the full basis of sovereignty in general lies in these articles.

We cannot rely on it if US THE FILIPINOS DO NOT CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS POLITICS. It is only effective when we change.

Remember "Justice delayed is Justice Denied"

"I am NOT politically proud to be a Filipino but culturally proud." That is the dictum that denotes shame in the Philippine power-play arena.

P.S. President Arroyo and all gov't officials are not fully responsible for these faults but the mass of the people.
