fighting evil

february 15^th, i went to ayala to join my first protest action in five years.  last weekend, i joined my friends in an early morning jog for truth in UP. and the other day, i joined the huge rally in mendiola.   I was so looking forward to going to the rally in ayala today but i have so much to attend as I am leaving tomorrow for india.

so what made me finally get off the couch and go out and join rallies again?

for some months now, i’ve been glued in front of the televison screen watching the senate hearing on the zte deal.  from the time joey de venecia testified until jun lozada. i can only imagine the fear Lozada felt when he was picked up at the airport.  the police, of course, are denying that he was kidnapped. but even if he wasn’t, the fact that they are so willing to help him hide from the senate (and “hide” him for good, most probably) is enough reason to believe him.

it is no secret that gma is probably the most corrupt president the philippines ever had. and her husband? imelda would be a petty thief compared to him.  and son mikey is not far behind.  but to actually hear how much they have stolen and that’s just for one project! i can’t even imagine how much they have amassed from all the projects for all these years. there is no other word for it.  they are all evil.

how else can you stand earning millions of millions of dollars while millions of children cannot go to school and are dying of hunger. while people,even children, are killing themselves because of poverty. when people die from common diseases because they do not have access to medicine and health care. last week, i was watching the news and there was a story about old people being turned away from a public hospital because they cannot be accomodated anymore.  to see all that happen around them and yet continue stealing,  they have got to be evil.

in fact, GMA is worse than evil.  evil does not even begin to define her.  i am against death penalty, but i really wish to see her and her evil husband on the electric chair.  a painless death would be too good for her.  my nanay always told me never to wish other people ill, but really is GMA even human? she is a heartless, shameless… and well, yes, she is a lucky bitch. but her luck is going to run out real soon.

i’m leaving the country on the weekend and i’ll be gone for a little more than two weeks.  i wish i can come back to a corruption free philippines. but that’s asking for too much right now. (it will happen one day) in the meantime, i’ll settle for a gma-free philippines. if not, i will continue to join every rally, every protest action until we are free from that evil woman.

oust gma!
