AN APPEAL TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE: DEMAND GENUINE CHANGE

By Bayawanon

The president, his men and supporters have bragged a lot that he, the president has made lots of things for the betterment of the country, but I see it the negative way.

To me the following are President Duterte's accomplishments in his first year : 

1) The burial of the dictator Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani

2) The imprisonment of de Lima by way of fake evidences and witnesses

3) Increase of SSS premiums

4) He befriended plenty of oligarchs, which he promised to be dismantled

5) He abandoned the decision of the International Tribunal of the Seas in the matter of the Spratlys and the West Philippine Sea

6) Contractualization in the private sector is still prevalent despite of his promise to deface the same 

7) EJKs in relation to the DRUG WAR

8) Rising of inflation rate due to the poor performance of the Philippine peso

9) Good peace and order situation, a matter which he always brag by being hit by terrorists in Bohol and Marawi

10) Giving VIP treatment to Nur Misuari, the master planner of the Zamboanga Siege

11) Giving travel junkets to his allies and friends

12) Incurring plenty of loans from Russia, Japan, China etc., etc

13) Hostilities against the traditional allies of the Philippines like the European Union and the United Nations.

The following are expected to happen next year: 

1) Passage of the Death Penalty Law

 2) Passage of the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program.

Are these accomplishments and plans good for the Philippines? If you feel like these are good for the country, then support the president. If you feel like these things are for the downward spiral of our motherland, then challenge the present administration to take another course of action for us to attain development. If you feel like the current national leadership would insist on its steps towards national destruction, then demand CHANGE.

Do not condone the fault of the majority who simply rely on their emotions. Be a critical thinker, since national development should not just be left to one man alone. National development must be done via team playing, and you as a citizen of the Philippines has a role in its development too, and one way to attain development is to DEMAND GENUINE CHANGE.

Do not delay the demand for change for now is the right time to do it. Delaying it would give injustice to the fallen heroes of the 1896 Philippine Revolution and to the unsung Filipino Heroes of the Second World War who spent their lives, blood, tears and sweat so that this land of ours, known otherwise as the Pearl of the Orient Seas be truly a sovereign and independent country. Amen

THE SAD TRUTH

By Bayawanon

There are four reasons why the so-called super majority of the legislators in the House of Representatives and the House of Senate would stick with the president right or wrong, and they are the following to wit;

1) The fear of being extra judicially killed;
2) The fear of getting jailed by way of fabrication of evidences;
3) The fear of not getting projects and pork barrel from the palace;
4) The fear of being stripped of the committee chairmanships.

Let's discuss these four reasons why the super majority of the solons would stick to the president like leeches and would act like his robots one by one:

*** AS TO THE FEAR OF BEING EXTRA JUDICIALLY KILLED

Extra judicial killings are prevalent nowadays, because of this development the legislators have to be with the ruling party since the possibility for them of getting eliminated is great for it is very clear that "the president gets what the president wants". For fear of losing their own lives, they have to side with the administration party.

*** AS TO THE FEAR OF GETTING JAILED BY WAY OF FABRICATION OF EVIDENCES

Conspiracy theories are also prevalent nowadays, and are even given legal credence by the public. Rumor mongering and fake news become legitimate and are now getting ground in this epoch of POST MODERNISM, and evidences can easily be fabricated. A living example of this is Sen. Leila de Lima, she's being jailed for opposing the DREADED DRUG WAR because of extra judicial killings. She was charged in court with fabricated evidences and testimonies by CONVICTED CRIMINALS whose credibility are highly questionable. Now, De Lima is in jail because her case is actually non bailable, this possibility may probably happen to the honorable members of Congress if they would take side with the opposition.

*** AS TO THE FEAR OF NOT GETTING PROJECTS AND PORK BARREL FROM THE PALACE

It's a tradition that the Executive Department prepares the budget of the appropriations of the Republic, it passes through Congress and has to be sponsored by an ally of the president. Because of this the president has the control on who has to be given chunks of budget for congressional projects and pork barrel. Practically, majority of the senators and congressmen have to be with the President's party for fear of reprisal by way of not giving them congressional allocations.

*** AS TO THE FEAR OF BEING STRIPPED OF COMMITTEE CHAIRMANSHIPS

Committee chairmanships are sources of pride and power in the House of Senate and the House of Representatives. Some solons are squabbling to settle for chairmanships for them to be more influential. These congressional chairmanships can simply be taken out of them by the majority party if they would oppose the president.

In conjunction to these, I hope that these fears our solons are facing nowadays, be set aside by them in the name of the interest of the people, for SALUS POPULI EST SUPREMA LEX "the welfare of the people is the supreme law".

Furthermore, I hope that the congressmen and the senators would not be too over-practical, that they would set aside their self and political interests and would defend the interest of the people by SIDING WITH THE TRUTH AND JUSTICE.

To the senators and congressmen concerned, I am challenging you to be the best that you want to be, by really espousing change, by becoming vigilant, and by becoming a maverick if necessity arises.

Be like St. Thomas Moore who stood by his principles and moral ground by doing what is right, by defying evil in government even at the expense of his career and of his life. Do not be afraid for GOD would always be with you, you must stand up and become a GREAT DIFFERENCE, for it is necessary for good people to do nothing in order for evil to reign supreme.

PHILIPPINES A STATE NO MORE?

By Bayawanon

The so-called INDEPENDENT FOREIGN POLICY of the president is very self-explanatory, when you say that the foreign policy of a certain country is an independent one, it would follow that no foreign country is dictating the foreign policy of the former and that all countries are equal before its eyes.

But it seems that the foreign policy of the Philippines is not an independent one, for the same is distancing from its former allies like the European Union, the United States of America, and the United Nations and by getting closer to the geopolitical rivals of its former allies like Russia and China.

In connection to this, we can simply conclude that the foreign policy of the Philippines by way of its president is not independent after all for it leans towards China and Russia. Some instances would also tell us that China has control over the Philippines in diplomatic matters. The Philippines has abandoned the decision of the International Tribunal of the Law of the Seas in its favor and as against China in the matter of the ownership of the Spratlys and of the South China Sea.

By way of the Philippine loans and grants from China, the Chinese government gains control over the Philippines diplomatically and geopolitically. This happening does not just imperil the independent foreign policy of the Philippines for it also threatens the statehood of the same.

A STATE is defined as a group of people more or less numerous, occupying a definite portion of territory, independent from internal and external control, and has a government to which every individual renders habitual obedience. In sum, a state is composed of four components namely: 1) People 2) Territory 3) Sovereignty, and 4) Government.

Technically, if one of the four components of statehood is absent in a certain country, then it ceases to be a state. Practically, the three components of statehood of the Philippines, especially the government, territory, and people are still there, even the internal sovereignty of the same is still there, but its external sovereignty is already absent because of the external control of colossal China.

Through the lack of the Philippines of EXTERNAL SOVEREIGNTY, since China is externally controlling the former, the Philippines in an international law legal point of view technically ceases to exist as a state.

POST MODERNISM?

By Bayawanon

There were many epochs in the annals of the existence of the Earth, there were that prehistoric times, the times of the existence of the Earth where there were no records of what exactly happened as to the development of the world like the Ice Age, Stone Age, the existence of the dinosaurs, etc.

All of the recorded eras of the world already fall on the historic times like the biblical times, the Medieval times, the Renaissance, and the modern era. These epochs of times were properly recorded as we can read in the history books.

Modern times started when engines and machines were invented in the name of progress. As the rolling of the years goes by the world became more modern as the computer era came in. Everything anyone wants to know can simply be found on the internet in the computer age. No one has to go to the library anymore since anything can simply be browsed on a computer or a gadget.

These development has progressed a lot and went beyond as any normal human want to develop it. The new generation is depending too much on this new technology to the extent of not investigating what they can grasp from the internet.

Is this now a new epoch or era of the world? Relying too much on what's circulating on the internet even not true and without investigation is I believe another page in the time of the world. Believing too much on the news invented by sham people is part of that era beyond modernity which I would call POSTMODERNISM.

The Filipino people are clearly living in POSTMODERNISM, you just imagine they would simply believe in the lies and the innuendos of the big political people for them to look good to the extent of rewriting and revising Philippine History. You can simply observe many Filipino people believing the big whigs of the government by spreading lies on the internet against the ones opposing it. The people are now relying more on the information wrongly fed to them by hugging and grasping it without using critical thinking. Clearly, the Philippines and probably the world are now under the age of POSTMODERNISM.
