United We Stand...Divided We Fall

Politics in my beloved country for the past month has been a mess. Politics in the philippines has been a telenovela that does not have an ending. It stars politicians na parang si selina ng telenovela na "mula sa puso" na ayaw mamatay kahit na ano na ang nangyari sa kanya. politicians here in our country like stars in any telenovela can be a bida today and a contrabida on the next episode.

i grew up in a family where politics is a favorite conversational topic. young and old, everyone is so interested in it. i have relatives who are in politics. and i too have aspirations of becoming one. but with what is happening in the political scene in our country, parang ayaw ko na.

with everything that is happening, mapapaisip ka talaga if may future pa ba for us in our country... what more for the children. will gasoline prices be at three hundred per liter by the time TJ gets to drive, when the time janina is in college, ang happy meal ng mcdo will cost her one hundred fifty pesos just for the chesseburger meal (kulang yun kay nina!), when amboy wants a bottle of red horse beer it would cost him two hundred pesos wala pa videoke and di pa yun grande, and for migsy to go party at absinthe or temple he needs five thousand pesos just for him to get in, have a FEW drinks but have no date.

it may sound funny for now but it is not far from happening. it is just crazy...and it is no laughing matter. every pay day, lahat nagrereklamo about the tax being deducted from the pay--saan nga ba napupunta? with all the fighting and bickering in our political scene, what is in store for our country?
