His message is important, but his attacks on the current regime, is almost a defiant smirk aimed at Gloria herself. Such is why, in my opinion, many still hold his statements to a high degree.

There is truth in his statements, but the bigger weight of his words lies in who he is, a former government employee, part of a circle, who was supposed to keep mum on the actual activities of this administration, and a former employee who may have been the target of an attempted liquidation, or at least a quick abduction. The drama he went through, is still the reason why many revere him for his “courage”, which I still say is justified, considering that many in his situation could have done what so many have done, and that is to fly overseas and to be never heard from again, to live a decent life, all expenses paid.

Elitist blogosphere is not an oxymoron because there are enlightened Pinoys who are either oxymorons or just plain morons. Just think of those who view the elder Gokongwei’s work-ethic as worth emulating, or of Trillanes as the best lawmaker for the Philippine Senate!

I am hopeful however that these bloggers will succeed.

I am not in the bandwagon of those who wish these people to fail, such is sometimes the mentality of some Filipinos to hate those who succeed in their own endeavors..

In the end, it can only be good for everyone if such individuals pick up the sword of blogging, and use it to fight the ailments of our nation.. It’s a good start, a worthy start, and I’m all too glad if each one contributes to a greater discussion and debate..
