A little on the side of fury.
Philippines, seriously, get your act together.
No, not Filipinos. The country. The land. The sovereign will (if there is actually one). Yes, La Filipinas. It's you who should get your act together. Less than a week from now, it's going to be (oh, hey, yawn) election day again. You think you're doing a good job by advocating this widespread act of social destruction but it's not helping. Please. We're not bicameral. We're not really partisan. We're a bunch of bastards who only got motherhood statements under our belts.
When you start getting rid of yellow ribbons and orange check-marks, that's when you actually start deciding. Get rid of the stupid surveys and the pointless advertisements. Please.
Let me point it out for you, Philippines, because right now, you are really being stupid.
1. I'm for your father, not you. Your father was the hero, not your mother. It was the people who overthrew the tyrant, not your parents. Your family still has to answer for a considerable number of lives because of the agrarian reform crap that you advocated. Deliver the facts straight. You still have a lot to answer for.
2. Cut the bullshit. You are a businessman. People know the ruthlessness behind your eyes. From rags to riches, yes, but at the expense of other rags becoming rags still. Answer the damn allegations in any way you can. Appease the people with something because, in politics as in most things, something is often--if not always--better than nothing.
3. And this goes out to all: the competition is not *who* you think it is. A quick check of what's really the sentiment out there reveals that it's an ousted ex-convict that's actually leading. The numbers don't tell you that. No one actually would admit to that. But try to divide the fucking intelligentia into a shitload of groups and you'll actually see that it's the one who's left behind to garner the vote of the uneducated mass that's going to get propelled to the highest shitseat in the land.
I am at the end of my wits, seriously, about this election. No one's actually paying attention. Go bicker and bite, you stupid politicians. Just don't put a proven criminal back to power. Otherwise, you've just proven your stupidity.
Philippines, oh, Philippines. The Filipinos don't love you as much as they say they do.
