Random Thoughts

Bilib ako sa Presidente natin. Hindi dahil sa pagiging isang mabisang pangulo ng ating bansa, lalo na’t hindi sa mga nagawa niya para sa mamamayang Pilipino.

I mean, no matter how much you hate the person; you just can’t help but admire her for who she is. She is a very strong woman- independent, fierce and driven. Albeit I don’t like her as our President and there have been countless moments that I want her ousted, I still respect her. The mere fact that she had been our President for nine years now is outstanding, after numerous impeachment trials, issues and controversies bombarding her everywhere to throw down the towel. You’ll probably lash back that she is like so because she is power hungry and she loves the authority hence the determinism, but don’t you see, that’s one thing- she really goes for what she wants.

Aside from that, she is smart. She has brains, and oh yes, she’s using it. Probably for her own motives because I never really saw growth in the country as what she boasted in her latest SONA, but it is well laid out that she had been able to go about her way despite the blockades. That every Filipino practically hates her, but at the end of the day- that hate really didn’t surmount to anything cause she’s still the President.

Unlike normal women, she seems undaunted of these emotional perspectives that females tend to apprehend. I’m not generalizing all, but no matter how much you hide it- most women tend to be emotional one way or another. So basically, if you tell someone that she is VERY infamous within the crowd she draws and they all want her down- she will go down. For dignity, for glory. But our little Miss President’s different, she doesn’t seem to care about what you and I think, she does what she sees fit.

I don’t like her but I admire her. Two different things, really. You must think I’m a hypocrite, and if you do, you’re narrow minded. On the other hand, speaking of politics- I’m of legal age now, and I haven’t registered yet. I’m probably waiting for the last day, or maybe- I don’t have plans to vote at all. Though I am interested in politics- as it is a circus of the educated, the selfish and the puppets; I still don’t feel motivated with the progress that’s going on so far. The mere fact that two Presidentiables are LITERALLY campaigning throughout the media is disgusting, desperate and pitiful. I know that other potential candidates are doing their own little agendas out there but the face palming truth these two bring about are just horrendous- imagine thousands of pesos are being allotted for this- instead of being given to poor families if they really want to help. But since I studied PR, I know that this information dissemination tool is vital. Well even if they build 500 schools, how the hell would people know about it without telling them through these ads right? That’s the sad part, the Filipino voters are still shallow at large. I mean, Villar just earned the top spot for the Presidentiable survey- and I think it is brought about by the MAAANY commercials and publicity stunts. And if that’s really the case, oh lord, the Filipinos have yet to open their eyes in scrutinizing potential public figures. Though I really don’t have anyone in mind, trusting politicians basing on what they want us to see, to what they want us to think of them is stupid. They think we’re stupid. And we’re biting it. Come on guys, wake up.
