Allow
me to suggest a way of looking at 2012 from a wider and truly encompassing
point of view:
PNoy’s
boys boast that 2012 is the best year so far for the Philippines
Did
the quality of life improve? Did wages rise? Did the prices of electricity, oil
products and basic commodities and necessities like food drop? Did tuition and
other costs of education go down?
PNoy’s
boys have been trumpetting for days that the economy is at an all-time high.
Did
you earn enough for your needs? Was it easier than before to find a job, or a
second or third job to augment your income? How many, if any, new businesses do
you know which opened up branches this year and provided jobs?
A
supposedly dramatic increase in the number and volume of business of call
centers and supposedly record remittances by overseas Filipino workers (OFW)
are among the biggest factors behind the economic boom.
But
as I had written in an earlier blog, OFWs are PAID by their FOREIGN EMPLOYERS,
NOT BY BUSINESSES here in the Philippines
AND
NOT because of the Philippine economy.
As
to call centers, I don’t have figures but I’m aware of the fact that they CATER
MORE, if not totally, TO FOREIGN CLIENTS. So the money their clients spend
comes from the economy of their home countries, NOT OF OURS!
Was
our way of life in 2012 more convenient than before?
How
many, if any, new roads, bridges railways or piers or similar infrastructure do
you know or have heard of? WAS EVEN ONE BUILT, or IN NEAR COMPLETION until the
year ends tomorrow at midnight?
Personally,
I don’t know of any. Anybody correct me if I’m wrong.
Did
peace and order improve as far as you know?
Do you feel safer now than before, in your home or out on the road or
the streets, especially late at night?
PNoy
and his boys have been tirelessly boasting that they’re against corruption.
Is
it easier to transact now in government agencies, especially in the Bureau of
Customs and Bureau of Internal Revenue? As far as you’re concerned, has bribery
been removed, or even reduced considerably?
The
warrant of arrest on Grace Padaca WAS NOT SERVED for some six months. When it
was, PNoy himself paid for her bail, and readily declared her as INNOCENT as
far as he’s concerned.
But
now, Malacanang is DESPERATELY trying to remove Cebu Gov. Gwen Garcia from
office on the strength of a suspension order issued by the Office of the
Preesident.
Even
though to date, NO ONE HAS BELIED OR PROVEN WRONG, Garcia’s defense that her suspension had violated the
Local Government Code and Administrative Order No. 23.
There
are a lot more issues, boys and girls. But think about the ones I had cited
here. Then, judge the year 2012, and PNoy’s government, for yourselves. 30

Yes, that much. Even maybe more as big guys
who sponsored this law are muliti-millionaires. Worst, charged to
taxpayers. Gullible people shouldering the cost against "poor people who
know better population management and control!"
