Senate probes, fearless forecasts, and shocking revelations everyday. All these are surely rocking the nation in searching for the truth. Finally! Most would say but how will it turn out in the end? Is this really going to lead into something good?
We are not looking for the truth because we knew it all along. We were not oblivious to the fact that anomalies do exist. We are just waiting for someone to break the silence, a tangible proof. And now that it is here, it is time to feast on the exposed carcass and slap it right to their faces. Nevertheless, it looks like this one’s going to pass just like the past explosive issues hurled at GMA’s administration.
Issues on being a cheat and corrupt had infuriated the Filipino people, and still is infuriating the people. But even if the people hold mass demonstrations everyday, our president will not step down until 2010. However, it is true that this government can no longer earn the trust of the public. It is now gravely demoralized and cannot appease the discontent of the people. Yet it seems that they are well aware of it and motivated enough to ignore and try as best as they can to keep their mouths shut.
The political pandemonium had been going on for several years now since former Joseph Estrada’s impeachment and this had caused unrest in the people. Since it had been on for years and still had not bear good results or resolved any issues, the people by now are practically tired and fed up already. Sure there are still some decided enough to rally in the streets everyday and of course the opposition who are highly enthusiastic to see their pet aversions down in shame. but the truth is even though the people too wants, and deserves, to know the whole truth they are somehow unconvinced that this time there will be promising results.
The noise may only last for some time and then like everything else be forgotten. Or not really forgotten but just let slipped away and wear-out.
It is not apathy. Some even say that this is the consequence of our silence. It is just that the masses do not really benefit a thing from this and they are just being practical. Yet it still is strongly encouraged that we seek the truth in all these for as citizens of this nation, we deserve to know.
And though madam president do not leave vacant her office till the next election, I’d still keep my fingers crossed that the current issue regarding the ZTE-NBN deal be not left unturned by the media and few concerned officials. So as to let them know that the people cannot be fooled anymore for they already know as much. They may be saturated but not stupid.
It really is colorful times we are in.
