Social and political criticisms
PHL | March 2013
Are you still one of those who believe that your favorite politico/candidate can make your life better?
I had a compadre before who even cried because the dictator fled and had to be replaced by a female president. He said that ever since, his life was littered by misfortune?
Would you believe the intimation sometime that a boxer won because of the support from Lady President (the way the congratulatory messages were made)
Do you think that Presidents/Senators have been responsible for our splendid economic growth?
Yes they legislated the laws, had the infrastructures, the enablers made.
But without the entrepreneurs who work hard, without the workers who labor it out, without the logistics infrastructure made by private sector, there could be no progress. Was the BPO growth brought about by public sector initiative or tax incentives, or the huge OFW remittances.
Obviously, you would be a believer in this if you depend on your mayor or barangay chief for your daily bread, or even the caesarian delivery of your wife. For those who live under the politics of patronage, or under the shadow of feudalism (their landlord is a politico) then you are caught in the vicious cycle, within which there would be escape nor progresss.
Are you in this spiral?
