It’s both ways Cocoy. To work from the very bottom of governance ( inside) and to the very top ( executives, Senate and Judiciary).

If we all can do that then we will have a system. Right now , that system do not exist.

sure cocoy, of course naman. If we will keep demanding our wants and needs, then they don’t have a choice unless, they are willing to take the risk of losing their credibility and integrity for the long run. We have not demanded collectively from them. watak watak tayong lahat.

leytenian, indeed. but it becomes a chicken and egg problem. do you think politicians who have gamed the system are interested in changing it to their disadvantage? so the only answer is to work within the present system and then fix it from the inside.

tough. romantic. most certainly. but you got to start somewhere.

Janette, :D thank you too! this issue is close to my heart. been blogging about it for awhile now. glad i’m not the only one who thinks this is a worthwhile endeavor. people keep clamoring for change but refuse any part in fixing the problem. a lot keep clamoring for revolution, when no one is interested to run for public office to push their own agenda.

and i agree it needs experts to help shape the next generation. our politics has a shallow bench enough and like it or not it needs mentoring from elder politicians.

That is because our laws in terms of politicla financing has never been implemented or it needs to be reform. Here’s why..

Political Financing- A Failure of Transparency

YOUNG BLOOD???? ibig sabihin yung mga anak ng mga KURAKOT NA TRAPO????

How true. On the floor today, a Rep in her early 30s gave a privilege speech defending her father against corruption allegations in that free port in the south. She was being interpellated by another youngish rep who is widely known to be her significant other.

Farce? They put Academy Award winners to shame.

Cocoy,

On good days I remind myself that Akbayan exists. They’re as good a model as any. But then they have a deep bench of committed activists who know how and where to get funding, brains who know the issues well, and tons of experience organizing. A few other party lists are credible – and some fake ones too. Some have successfully joined the system and are making ground.

On bad days I think maybe more radical solutions need be done.

romantic it is

joma,

every success man has accomplished started as someone’s dream. some romantic notion.

we have to start somewhere.

kayong mga magagaling dito ang dapat tumakbo para sa congreso natin..yung mga bata pa at wala pang bahid ng politiko at kurupsyon…pero kung kamag-anak kayo ng politiko wag na lang…DAHIL SIGURADONG KURAKOT DIN KAYO!!!!

di nga namumunga ng santol ang mangga….KURAKOT ANG AMA O INA, KURAKOT DIN ANG ANAK AT KAMAG-ANAK!!!!!

We must also assume and should not rely that those responsibilities can be achieved without our support. It needs to be coming from us.

To break my excitement, here’s my questions?

Notice the score of the Media? What does it mean?
Is the media capable of publishing our specific demands to correct those weaknesses? What is our there is not the demand that we want. Puro tsismis, patay , gutom at iba pa. It’s not healthy for the minds of our youth. There are many bad news than good news in our country. Can we at least change that pattern?
