And how they act? Voters and votees - ughh! The cowed and the bullies. In the near future, we face the prospect of them voting in as lawmakers - a sexy dancer, an apologist, a glorified alalay, a media stooge, lawbreakers who were former department secretaries, a collaborator, generally people with no integrity.

Look at the voters of this 103 Million people vote in TV show hosts, boxers, sons of former politicos, not to mention that aforesaid smalltown mayor warlord trapo, Duterte. We should have fought hand and tooth to remake our society, our politics, and our economy, then, when we had the chance.Īnd now look at us, 103 Million and we can't even kick out a smalltown mayor warlord trapo despite the day-to-day violations of the law that he and his government makes. We should have been more vociferous in protesting the return of the Marcoses and Marcos' corpse.
We should have remained vigilant, gotten more involved with the fledgling democracy, and not entrusted our futures to the likes of Binay, Heherson Alvarez, Enrile, Bernie Villegas, etc. Our main fault is that we stopped with that. And I can't help but think that the quality of the increased population has gone down.Īt least when we were 55 Million, we gathered enough courage to dethrone a dictator. Actually I remember it as being 60 Million.
