Juancho Lim,

1) people always say they want change— but no one is willing to start the change. it isn’t that people are apathetic. it isn’t that they’re not grumbling in front of the television saying, “grabe na talaga sila”. It just that the quality of choices is /so/ pathetic.

2) hope springs eternal.

i am not anti con-ass and the more i am not for con-ass, but don’t you all think this is just a waste of time? these bloggings and eyeballs, rallies etc. di pa rin nila tayo marinig, at kung naririnig man tayo ng mga tao dyan sa House, still they don’t give a “D”. Because kahit na dumarami na ang sumisigaw sa kalye para ibasura ang con-ass, still there are politicians who obviously will walk side by side with us shouting anti-con-ass slogans, nagbabalat-kayo lamang for their own benefits. Di man lang sila marunong mahiya. Nakakawalang gana kung iisipin, nakakaawa kung titingnan ang mga Pilipino, laging naniniwala sa mga dalang pangako ng mga pulitiko, na alam naman nating mapapako lamang iyon, at patuloy pa rin tayong magbulag-bulagan, umaasa sa mga pangako nilang PAGBABAGO. Dahil ang pagbabago ay dapat magsimula sa ating sarili. Magpapa-uto pa rin ba tayo sa mga taong niluklok natin sa gobyerno? Pilipino ay madaling makalimot at madaling magpatawad.

Why form a national group against an issue when clearly if your views truly represent the majority you can just picket at your representative’s office to oppose the aye vote for HR 1109. But no, we always choose a reactive stance and only confront an issue once it is besieging our doors.

Ang maganda siguro dito sa Pilipinas ay parating mag plebiscite for each and every law or policy we encounter. Mukhang di talaga tayo hiyang sa representative-type of government. We have a poor(not financial) electorate. hahay

If the aim is to get grass-roots opposition and disgust to be organized, then why not just do it directly? Convene groups, coalitions, everyone who opposes this unilateral move of the House.

That would have been the preferred route. But what’s the coalition gonna do? Oppose it by having mass or having rallies? I don’t think that’s gonna work at this point – makakapal ang balat ng mga baboy sa congress. We have to be more creative than that – and hit the swine where it hurts most – their job.

Wasn’t the recall process in Pampanga motivated by LGU officials who were losing their “under the table” from quarrying fees?

RECALL and REPLACE on the other hand connotes

For crying out loud Noemi. You sound like may chance pang maasahan si Gloria. Forget Garci?
