ars pulitika

There's a poster outside the Estrella bus stop that goes: TAMA NA! SOBRA NA! WASAKAN NA!

I can only agree partially with that poster. Granted, the first two statements are true. This regime really has gone too far and needs an accounting. But I am not sure whether changing the names of those in power is the solution. If it will just be another round of musical chairs, no thanks.

Am I being a cowardly activist for not taking to the streets today? I kind of wanted to go to the Mass in Baclaran, but my father warning me about the dangers of it being politicized was enough. I want this crusade for just and transparent governance to be free from the politics of personality. However, psychologically I am not sure if that is completely possible.

I think till the day we can learn to stand for principles and not faces and gimmicks, our country needs some form of crutch. It's time for the remaking of the Filipino, my friends.
