I would believe if the higher government system, THE EXECUTIVE ITSELF IF AND IF lang nga dunay maayo nga reputation, tinud-anay nga serbisyo publiko, I MEAN, there's no reason nga ang entire structure and subordinates ana niya WILL FOLLOW jud ug for sure MAHADLOK.
If they are really TRUE SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN diha sa Malacanang, down to LOCAL GOVERNMENT, for sure kanang maong SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE will have good image maski dili na kinahanglan pa ug e_media, ipa_hibalo sa PUBLIC that they in fact are doing good. I mean, where's the essence here kon mag_plastikan lang ka to announce sa PUBLIC...THE PEOPLE CAN FEEL AND SEE IT.

Many of us are suffering from a misplaced sense of hypocritical patriotism and pompous religiosity. And sad to say, that is the bane of our nation, something we all suffer from in differing degrees. We wear our patriotism on our sleeves, and yet it does not reflect in our actions. We sing the national anthem, and yet have we really pondered on the wordings? Or relate it to our lives? We perform our Sunday and other obligations of our respective faiths, and it's business as usual the moment we step out of our places of worship. The simplest thing such as discipline is sorely and critically missing in the fabric of our daily lives. We all see this in our daily routine, and we are even guilty of it sometimes. A lot of times.
Take the anarchy known as our public transportation system for example. Or the simple act of using the skywalks, especially near schools, proof positive that having an education does not an educated person make. Or go to Carbon and you will see what fruits are in season...by the skins and peelings being thrown all over the place. But be careful not to step on the spit and phlegm all over the streets. And water puddles? They're accumulated piss. We walk on the streets because the sidewalks have all been occupied by the vendors. If we take the city to be a showcase of our governance and democracy, then we are in big trouble.
We blame the system. We blame politics. But we are part of the system. And we are part of the political machinery as well, whether we like it or not. The very essence of democracy can be both a boon and a bane to itself, depending on the people responsible for it. We cannot govern by fear, for it would lead to chaos. We cannot govern by kindness, for that is too easily abused. The paradox of democracy demands that for it to work, the exercise of our freedoms exacts corresponding responsibilities from each and every one of us, responsibilities that we have been remiss in fulfilling. The concept of democracy is anathema to the inherent "self"-ishness of human nature, and as such the success or failure of any particular democratic system will only be a reflection of the collective accountability of the particular group of people belonging to it.
The Philippines was once a great nation. And we have the capability to be that once again. Every nation gets the leadership it deserves. And we deserve better. Because while we are great as a people, we seem to have lost the way as a nation. Mother nature has already given us a wake up call through Ondoy. It is time to get our sh*t together again before we all go down the crapper. Robert Kennedy once said, "There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why...I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?"
All I know is, when government people tell me they love Ninoy, I know they don't mean the person.
