Might I suggest that instead of us just looking for a leader, we look for leadership with vision, a vision of the future where Filipinos of all persuasions and classes can live in harmony and progress.
Perhaps I seem to be describing an eden that can only be aspired for. But we must aim high. In this there is no quarrel, right?

i very much agree! been blogging about that way too much. i know it all sounds… too optimistic, too high an aspiration… but i’d like to believe as the song goes:

You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

P.S.
This post is one of your most inspired pieces.

Thanks! :D

We were already cheated in 2004. Are we going to allow Gloria to get away with Cha Cha and extend her reign indefinitely? Always Remember the Palace Spin Doctors’ Motto: FOOL YOU ONCE SHAME ON ME, FOOL YOU TWICE SHAME ON YOU!

Their clamour is Federalism in Mindanao for total independence as an Islamic State.

But, the Muslims are Filipinos, they are not an alien to this country!!!!! Why?????? because they are using Filipino language, there is really significance that they are Filipinos in all manners. The context of “Federalism” is not an answer to come up with total PEACE in Mindanao. Furthermore, this BJE context only worsen the situation. Thus, Federalism is not the real answer towards “Peace & Development in Mindanao”.

Absolutely, If the Arroyo administration will continue to further this BJE, it will be enormous that it will be a “RED MINDANAO [BLOODSHED]” will prevail all over the vicinity of Mindanao.

There will be more CVO to rise, to die for a cause!!!!! Now tell me, Madame President, Where is Peace there, where is justification among us the MIndanaons??????????? I am sad, I am really sad, I am so Sad, We are sad & frustrated!!!!!!!

President Arroyo, You are a teacher and Ph.D. holder, an Economist…………, What made you stupid in advocating this BJE as the answer for the longing of Peace!!!!!!! Where is your mind?????? Are you still rational???? No, you are not logical, You never looked at the context in different perspective!!!!!!

As President you must be rational!!!!!!
