OK LANG SANA kung ang gasulina eh bumaba.... abaw ang LPG nitaas man noon yesterday!!! i dont mind gyud if my GALUNGGONG's price has gone down... yet yesterday it was still 100+ for each fresh kilo.
WE SAY that give the government elbow room.... by golly...they have taken the elbow and the whole arm too! This government is BEYOND human intervention. Whose prayer will God answer? The prayer for the government na matarong....or the prayer of 8million OFWs and the millions of us who are working for/providing BPO services to clients abroad? Do you honestly believe that people will care for other Filipinos when their own family naghihirap? I DO NOT THINK SO.
My own vision... one that most Filipinos have.. is microscopic.... not macro... I am focused on my family and the immediate surroundings... My prayer is... Lord...PLEASE ipa-akyat mo naman ang dollar ulit!!!
While waiting for that to happen... I find ways to increase my income. My solution? Get more clients... have different sources of income by seeking out other businesses.... but I can do that because I am in business. What about those whose lives are dictated with the 15th-30th paychecks kada bulan? These brave 8million-strong souls who sacrifice so that their MICROSCOPIC world will become better for the sake of their kids?
Hahayyy.... I really really honestly believe (and PLS...LET ME BE PROVEN WRONG)... that things will not look up for us "ordinary folks," as my esteemed business colleague ho-chia said, when the dollar hits 38. But hey... if you are right... PRAISE THE LORD!
