Kelan ba talaga magiging stable ang bayan naten? Nung panahon ni Marcos, ok na sana, kaso me bagyong dumating, ang super uver social climber na si Santa Imelda. Sino pa ang magiging dyosa nang mga social climbers kundi si Santa Imelda. Sana man lang, sa dinami daming kinurakot nang pamilyang to, nagtayo man lang sana sila nang Chapel of the Social Climbers. Para dun ako mangumpisal sama nang aking mga bagong estudyante.
Curiously, natapos ang pinakabwisit na parte nang buhay naten sa weird na pangyayaring tawagin nating Baterya nang Mamamayang Pilipino, o sa inglis – People’s Power. Akala ko, yayaman na lahat nang boylets ko sa Floodway. An dami pa naman nilang pinag-aaral ko nang nursing, tinutustusan ang paninigarilyo, alak, babae at sugal pati load sa Globe at pag wala na, pasa load sa Smart.
Pero, wala. Dumating si Goringgo. Walang ginawa, guluhin si Tita Cory. Ffffttttta talaga. Ok na sana, naka-alpas na tayo at nung kumalma ang panahon – Asian Financial Crisis naman, na na-import sa Bangkok. Hayop talaga! Dumating ang pag-eErap, lahat nag kurapsyon susunugin – yon ang pangako. Yon pala, hihilahin ang Isla Boracay at i-papark sa New Manila. Kaya naman yung iba, pa-weting weting na lang.
Ano sumunod sa pag-eErap naten? Eh di Gloria na! Gloria nga ba?! Ayoko na talagang magmura nang ffftttta, dapat lang di ba? Kahit kayo, agree kayo saken na malaki naman ang tinuturo nang administrasyon na to sa ating bokabolaryo, magsimula sa ABAKADA hanging sa ZTE NBN. Gumanda ang ekonomiya, yan ang sing along nila, sa totoo lang, pati dun sa may bahay sa Pasig, umuulan nang pera, 7% ang taas nang lipad nang pera. Kaya naman, lahat na halos nang mga kung sino dyan sa taas, me kanya kanyang ABAKADA’t kanya kanyang kontrata
Nakakapagtataka. Maligaya pa rin ang Pinoy. Obviously. Madami kasi kaming nag-tatatrabaho sa labas, malakas ang padala nang dolyar, kaya puro na lang shopping ang mga naiwan sa Pinas. Todo-todong social climbing.
Pati si Trillanes dinibdib ang leksyon kong Social Climbing 101. Kelangan 5 star hotel. Indi matatawag na kudeta pag indi sa Peninsula. Kaw ba naman, nakabalandra mukha mo sa mundo, alangan naming mag kudeta ka sa Tondo, di ba? Do it in style, at least nakita nang mundo, mayaman tayo.
Kudeta with fine dining and lots of silver lining! Taz, ra-ratsada nung machine gun na me halong Beethoven on D Major? Kahit na nga E Sargeant, mas maganda.
Kung dumating si Gloria at dinaan na lang sa Dancing with the Stars ang labanan, sa lobby nang Peninsula, eh di maganda, di ba? At least, makita nang mundo na talaga naming kakatawa tayo.
Gin & tonic, red wine, fine dining, luxurious lobby, 5 star hotel with foreigners as your audience. Saan ka pa? Eto na ang classic social climbing skills! Well done na well done!!!
Hay naku!
Bomba sa Glorietta, bitay sa Kuwait, pisong trenta otso bawat padala, si Mina at si Lando bayan ko hinagupit pa, ffttta talaga, tayo ba eh nasa isinumpang isla?!

Well, after all that, the country still stands. I think Filipinos are politically maturing. Coup d’etats are not the norm and I think they realize that. For every single people power, the economy gets worse. Investors pull out and get scared. Revolutions are done through elections. This is how democracy works. Another coup would be detrimental to the country. Everytime I visit Manila, I’m amazed how much has changed. I left when I was still a child when I experienced constant blackouts and water shortages. It was a miserable time. Now, I think things have gotten better.
The big problem with GMA is that she only looks at the numbers and lacks Erap’s charisma. The numbers looks great. The GDP has steadily increased, foreign investment is up. But for some reason, it’s not filtering to the poor. They’re not experiencing the same gains as the other classes. Furthermore, ordinary investors like the middle class find it difficult to invest in the stock market and finding capital is difficult.
I think it’s interesting how the PSE and the Foreign Exchange absorbed the shock. Maybe the economic recovery is for real…

Nakakainis kagabi when I was watching the news. Yong mga foreign tourist ginawang tourist attraction ang Manila Pen. Tapos, ininterview pa ng media. Eh di siyempre sagot naman sila. Sabi nung isa “we don’t have something like this in Singapore”
It’s sooooo embarrasing!!!!!!!

I do hope Pinoys political mentality would mature but then again, it’s still php’s and $’s during election, so am kinda having some 2nd thoughts about that. But I did noticed that GMA loves numbers and who cares what the population gets from these numbers? read: not filtering down just like what you said.
Which is why OFW remittances is much better that her 7sum’tin sum’tin GDP growth because OFW remittances goes directly to the people – wait, to the malls? and the shops? well…
