Social and political criticisms
What and who controls the lives of masses of Filipinos?
The street smart always say:
l. Bisyo - alak (the wine and beer manufacturers are lording it over), sugal (the PAGCOR, STL, jueteng are big pastimes and cause of shoot outs and controversies),
2 Eskuwela - is a big business; they have strong influence on their students; the alumni association influence the graduates. The professors and teachers exert big influence on the mindset and attitude of people.
3. Religion - enjoins exhorts the flock. It is a battler Royale among: Eddie Villanueva ( JIL,) Velarde, Ely Soriano (Dating Daan) Manalo (INC). They can install judges, officials, politicians. They are very powerful.
4. Politics - political dynasties, politics of patronage. The effect on social and economic life is massive. No one gets a contract and business without the blessing of the public official. Without the tong....You cant get elected though without 3
Thats BERP.
What do you think?
