"A FEW DUMB MEN"

"Here we go again. The dumb politicians are once more holding the whole nation hostage. In the past several days,several self-glorifying politicians are again posturing at the expense of the Filipino people. This time their excuse is the truth.

Exactly what truth are you trying to find out, sirs? Eh, umamin na nga ang Presidente! ano pa ba ang gusto niyo? If you think the President has committed an offense, then please file the appropriate actions and shut up! Stop holding press conferences or appearing on television to air your grievances because the media is not the proper forum for it. Being members of the law-making body, you're supposed to use the legal framework that Congress itself has created. You should be the first to follow the law.

The trouble with these politicians and those calling for a leadership
change is that they don't know their action is bleeding the country
dry. MGA BOBO KASI. They are not only insensitive, they are ignorant
of the sufferings of ordinary men like me.

I bet my last pair of socks that you guys, don't
even know the simplest needs of the common tao. Or that you and your
fellow useless politicians are so stupid to know that your calls for
GMA's resignation is, in fact, the reason why the stock market is
down and the exchange rate up. Heck, I seriously doubt you can
stipulate the effects of a fluctuating peso, let alone know what a
Moody's "downgrade" is. MGA BOBO KASI.

I challenge you "SIRS" to take a one-year leave of
absence from Congress to take a job in the private sector and
live-off the salary of a daily wage earner. Isama nyo pa ang ibang mga sumuporta sa inyo. I can guarantee all of you: you will not last 30 days before calling it quits!

Now, if you're not willing to come out of your comfort zone, then I
challenge you to a debate---- to prove to our countrymen that you're
all stupid. Don't be intimidated: I am just an ordinary workingman
and not connected to any group that can tutor me about policy issues.


It's easy for you to hostage the economy because you know your
congressman's salary is assured for the next three years. I challenge
you to stop living off the taxes of the Filipino people or the tithes
and offerings of your members!

The other night Susan Roces' apo declared to the media that what his
lola is doing will benefit the Filipino people. Are you nuts? what do
you know about our plight here in the Philippines? What do you know
about the effects your lola's speech will have on the economy? You're
living in the U.S.A. for Pete's sake! Before you open your mouth, try
living here first and enroll at a public school with insufficient
number of books!

It's so unfair that a few dumb politicians and reckless individuals
have the power to bring down the whole country. Doubly unfair that
people like me suffer for the stupid decisions made by the horde of
uneducated people in Manila.

I studied hard--heck, WORKED HARD in college
to be where I am now. I pity the employees of foreign-owned companies
like me, who are now in danger of losing their jobs because of the
uncertainty now besetting the nation.

The Filipino people deserve better. Kung hindi pa niyo nalalaman,
tapos na po ang election. It's time to move on. Congress has better
things to do than to meddle in governance. Congress and the Arroyo
administration must work together to cut the deficit now, keep the
exchange rate stable and the inflation rate in check.

Simple lang ang kailangan ng bawat Pilipino---ang mabuhay ng maayos.
I do not aspire to run for Congress or lead a congregation and live
off the tithes and offerings of flocks. I just want to live a
comfortable, if not decent life.

Truth has no profound meaning for me if I lose my job and sleep with
an empty stomach. "
