Teka teka. Anong problema sa sinulat ko? Anong malaswa dito? Padre, hindi ako nagmamalinis and neither is anyone here hollier than thou. I mean, let's call a spade a spade. It is regrettable if this petty thing will sway us from the main issue. :headbang: In my profession, I have seen exchanges which have maimed mistahs and/or killed friends and foes alike, and in retrospect, I would gladly welcome incendiaries and unpleasantries such as these for as long as it is confined in writing and nobody is killed.

Bakit hindi mapaunlad ng mga bumabatikos kay marcos ang Pilipinas? Padre, it is a collective effort. It is not the role of one Pinoy nor the role of the so called opposition (those who were reallycritical of Marcos and thise who were appeared to be idealists) to uplift the country from it woes. You see, the biggest mistake most Pinoys have committed is the fact that when Marcos was ousted, they thought that everything was again nice and dandy. Never before have we been so wrong. Most of us have been complacent and aloof. We never seem to have learned anything from history. Ano ba ang nagyare? We went back to our old bad habits. We became blind nincompoops and have not vigorously pursued a policy of jailing the Marcoses and their cronies, nor have we been successful or fast in recovering their loot. As a matter of fact, we even welcomed these turncoats with open arms in the government. What did they do? They have been part of the festering problem in our county. Remember the time when we were considered the “darling of the whole world”after the first Edsa revolution and investors were coming in and bullish with our economy? Well, we lost all those investments to Thailand, Malaysia and China. Bakit?

Trapos at ang mga Utak Pulbura:

Let me see, trapos have successfully convinced a good number of our people that they are genuinely concerned about our country’s problems, but after several decades in power, napatino ba nila ang Pilipinas? Ask JDV, Enrile, Maceda the glib Escudero who, like his father, have been puppets of Marcos, etc. etc.. _____, _____. Sino, pa....si Drilon and Angara and would you believe, even Roco who belong to the smae law firm a long long time ago during the time of Marcos. If you will do your research, they were the ones who incorporated dummy corporations to shield Danding's shares in SMC and his involvment in the Coco levy fund. Lacson was a stooge of Abadia who were notorious in abducting people during the Martial law. Have you ever wondered what happend to Dacer or how Lacson managed to marry his wife? Have you ever wondered the amount of direct foreign investment we lost because of the coups pioneered by Gringo and company? The last time I checked, they just had some push -ups and they even managed to get elected to boot. Gringo and the RAM boys are rich and Lacson has properties in Makati and California.

Artista:

To make things worse, samahan mo pa ng mga artista with the likes of the clown Sotto, Erap, Revilla, Jinggoy, etc. who are dwelling in their own detached sense of reality. E kung ang pamilya nila hindi nilamapatino, ang buong pamilya pa kaya ng bayang Pilipinas?

At iba pa:

Dagdagan mo pa ng mga nagugulo galing sa kaliwa with the vocal and obstructionist types like KMU, NDF etc. Dagdagan mop pa ng MNLF at MILF at Abu Sayaf. Lets kick it even further, add the servicing of the national debt (nakaw ni Marcos na binabayaran pa natin at ang magiging apo sa tuhod natin). How would you convince these rebels that there is hope in the current system of government when thieves are re -elected, coup plotters like Honasan and co. have eluded arrest and have been elected to boot.

Bakit hindi pa umuunlad and Pilipinas? Sa dami ng problema at sa dami dami ng talangka, artista, magnanakaw at huwad at pekeng mababatas (mabubutas), nothing will happen. Going back to your question, sino ba ang mga bumabatikos kay Marcos? There are those who were mere opportunists and there are those who have stuck to the ideals or righteousness and decency. Men or shall I say opportunists and posterboys change and if you emulate them, like most of our countrymen, you will be bound to get disappointed. Once upon a time, they were with Marcos. When the tide changed, Johny come lately, they suddenly became critical of Marcos because it was the fad at that time. Do you still see them today?


The question now is, where do you see yourself?
