有笑话说，他们就是一笼螃蟹，有一只爬到笼口， 就被别的钩下.
1. Most Filipinos think that blaming the late former President, Ferdinand
Marcos is so passé so they have moved on to GMA. A quarter of a century
after Edsa, the Aquinos and their supporters cannot keep blaming the
original “bad guy” because blaming Marcos after all these years will
highlight the fact that there was nothing significant about the so-called “
people power” revolution that happened in 1986 to begin with. It becomes
funnier when you hear them say, “GMA is worse than Marcos” because they
don’t realise that this is the same as saying, “We were better off during
the Marcos years”.
2. Most Filipinos need to blame someone for the lack of progress in their
own personal lives. They might still be stuck doing the same dead-end job or
in the case of some, still stuck waiting for government handouts.
3. Most Filipinos are actually angry with themselves, not with GMA.
Underneath that arrogance is a people who are clueless as to why the country
continues to be plagued by corruption and lack of progress. They don’t
realize that it is the people’s lack of attention to how public servants do
their jobs that is the reason why public funds gets mismanaged. In other
words, people’s apathy and indifference to how the country is being run is
the real cause of corruption and not GMA.
4. Most Filipinos need a diversion. They’ve got nothing going for them. In
the case of PNoy for example, he needs to divert people’s attention away
from his lack of leadership skills and lack of vision for the country’s
future. It is beginning to be quite obvious to a lot of Filipinos that his
only agenda for the entire duration of his term is to prosecute GMA. PNoy
seems to think that he can simply continue to ride upon GMA’s economic
gains while blaming her during his term.
5. Most Filipinos are suckers for drama. This is why they would rather
believe hearsays or “tsismis” than facts. It doesn’t help that GMA was
said to be not in good terms with some stakeholders of mainstream media.
Allegations of GMA’s criminal activities probably gave them huge profits
every time they printed stories of her “crimes”.
6. Most Filipinos are addicted to instant gratification. Instant
gratification describes the short-term satisfaction gained from impulsive
behaviour. And some of the things that can give Filipinos instant
gratification are initiatives like “people power” revolutions and habits
like defying the rule of law. It is much easier and quicker to get instant
results when you throw the rulebook out of the window. But there are grave
consequences when using shortcuts like defying the law as an option at
getting something done. Most people have not realized it yet but removing an
elected leader unconstitutionally the first time already set a dangerous
precedent. It gave people excuse or reason to justify doing it again and
again. Marcos, Erap and now the Supreme Court.
7. Most Filipinos are ignorant of their rights. 25 years after Edsa,
Filipinos still struggle with their knowledge of what freedom is about. They
don’t seem to know how to use their so-called freedom responsibly. This is
evident in how some Filipinos keep throwing false accusations against their
opponents left and right without thinking of the consequences. This is
evident in how PNoy keep saying that some members of the Supreme Court
cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
Some Filipinos are even ignorant of the law and individual rights, which is
precisely the reason why they are gullible enough to believe people who
claim to be doing the “righteous” thing like when DOJ secretary Leila de
Lima claimed she was looking after the “national interest” in defying the
temporary restraining order of the Supreme Court.
8. Most Filipinos are beholden to celebrities and sons and daughters of so-
called “heroes”. If you don’t have a celebrity gene, you could end up the
bad guy. But what’s so dysfunctional about most Filipinos’ way of
thinking is that they keep voting into office the relatives of the public
servants they say are corrupt (the Marcos’s, the Estradas, and the Arroyos
among others) and most of their preferred lawmakers are showbiz
personalities or are sporting heroes. Which is why precious time and
taxpayer’s money are spent on trivial stuff like the proposal to rename
Edsa to Cory Aquino Avenue.
9. Most Filipinos are still looking for a hero. The people who voted for him
thought they found a hero in PNoy. But PNoy actually thought he could get
some direction on how to run the country from the people. Both are getting
lost in the process of looking at each other for clues on how to get to the
quickest way to the “tuwid na daan” or straight path.
10. Most Filipinos still believe in “angels” and “demons”. This is
unfortunately a legacy of peoples’ belief in superstition. Like those who
believe in witchcraft, some will believe “evil” stories involving GMA even
if these lack any basis or evidence to back up the claim. Because some
things are very difficult to accept like the reality that they are also
accountable for their own lives, some Filipinos would look at their problems
, shrug these off and say that things happen for a reason because of
interventions by “The Adjustment Bureau” or some heavenly being. Never
mind that some things like politicians getting away with criminal activities
happen because of their own negligence or lack of vigilance.
