The aftermath

Today is Monday, Holy Monday in the Roman Catholic Calendar.

While the whole nation is still divided on how to treat the "victory" of the "people's champion" over his, so far fiercest opponent, the Lent was also not able to prolong the truce between the opposition and the administration.

I also agree that there should be no let up in uncovering the truth and extent of corruption in the country. Even it cost us another street revolution, if only to unseat an unworthy and pretentious leader.

Well, many people may say and indeed feel that Filipinos are already tired of street protests. They say that we can't afford to unseat a leader after another. We have to be contented of what have, because in the first place, we put them to where they are at.

But aren't we entitled for a better place to live in? Then we have to work for it. Not tomorrow, not in 2010 but today. and all of us should be involved.

Wala dapat fence sitters. Walang makikikain pagkatapos ng tagumpay.

Palm Sunday

Today is the 16th of March.

I woke up early at around four o'clock, after 16 hours of nearly uninterupted sleep. Hahaha, that is a pretty precious one. Seldom happens.

Summer is fast approaching. Yung mga may pera pang pwedeng gastusin para sa family bonding at pag-iwas sa init ng Manila, malamang nasa beach or kung saan mang picnic grounds.

T'yak na marami ring nag-aabang sa rematch ni Manny Pacquiao dun sa Mexican boxer na hindi n'ya natalo dati.

Mejo parang may political true yata ngayon. Hindi masyadong pinag-uusapan ang involvement ng pangulo at ng kanyang asawa at closest friends sa overpriced telecommunication projet, as well as the controversial joint exploration agreement with China. Siguro dahil Palm Sunday ngayon, or dahil ang mga radio at ang mass media are focussed on th Pacquiao fight. A if there is realy somethin to celebrate in that nonesense exibition of cruelty if not brutality.
