Primer

There are lots of things that one can read about the Philippines. It's a country that has been bestowed with beautiful people, beautiful land, and beautiful values. Just like many developing countries, the Philippines has been once on top, once it has savored the life of democracy, once it has shared with other countries the best part of the meat. But now, it seems that as if the Filipino people are digging and simply cementing their own graves. My country (yes, i'm a filipino) as i believe, has been battling against this, but with no support from the government, it seems that many of us are now succumbing to hopelessness.

I know that i'm still "young" to worry about the current status of my country; but in one way or another, when i become much older, i would also be affected.Well basically, the youth has no voice in my country. Many youth related organizations are being built but to no avail. Why? It's simply because one cannot move to change the dictatorial system of this so called "democratic" governance even those who are currently in power. Why? because only one person controls our government- Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo (GMA), and hell to HER. I'm dismayed. I want to do something. I envy those youth in other countries where their "little voices" are heard.

Philippine elections is again upcoming. On May 2010, the Filipinos would then again elect a president. Hopefully, the president won't be another carbon copy of GMA or a puppet of that monster. More so, nobody wants a president who has been convicted of plunder and still has the face to run again. Yes, ERAP, that's you. I hope Filipinos would soon realize that we constantly need to learn. That learning may bring hopes into our hearts. Filipinos must escape and be freed from this inhumane dictatorship.

Again, I'm still "young" but i'm now tired of politics. Filipinos, I'm begging, please bring back the hopes of the youth. Don't let us lose hope.
