==> the TREE and the FRUIT



This is going to be a short post which is so not me right *tongue-in-cheek*  I have been sick(literally) these last 3 days and the last thing I need is to unnecessarily stress myself by thinking about the MARCOSes, AGAIN! But today being a historic day and a certain “JUNIOR” voting the way he did… I dunno… I find the NEED TO RANT SOMEWHERE… not because i'm boiling mad at the guy BUT to give some people some food-for-thought...  so that by May2013,  mag-isipisip muna tayo bago isulat ang kung kani-kaninong pangalan sa balota ninyo.

BONGBONG MARCOS VOTES TO ACQUIT CORONA... why am i not surprised by this? THE FRUIT DOES NOT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE is indeed TRUE!!! More often than not, kung hindi man eksaktong kopya, marami pa ring pagkakapareho sa paniniwala, paguugali, at pagdedesisyon.

You'd think JUNIOR was the guardian of our Bill of Rights if you believe everything that he said in his speech to explain his vote... hmmm,  first off,  lay off the legal gobbledygook talk and all that bullsh*t JUNIOR when youre not even a lawyer and worse, almost all your life,  you and your family benefited in the biggest possible way during a time in the history of this country when your father robbed its entire population of ALL OUR RIGHTS! ngayon, feeling mo ikaw ang magbabantay ng karapatan namin???  wa na,  hindi bagay sayo ang role na yan Dayunior,  hayaan mo na lang kay Joker(na hindi funny) at kay Miriam na isang self- confessed "loose canon"ang role na yan... pwede?

i was hoping the guy would simply go with the flow and join the bandwagon. By the time he casted his vote, the prosecution was ahead, so I would understand if he voted with the winning side, HE IS A POLITICIAN AFTER ALL and with an infamous pedigree to boot. Had he done that, i'd give him the benefit of the doubt as far as his character and intentions were concerned. BUTTT, of course, the SON is sooo PROUD of his FATHER, the late DICTATOR, that there's no way will he support GOOD GOVERNANCE IN THIS COUNTRY… out-of-character diba? Welll, clearly ! haaay, what saddens me is the fact that the majority of the voting population in this country today NEVER KNEW MARTIAL RULE IN THE PHILIPPINES. And because of that, A MARCOS IS NOW SITTING PROUDLY IN THE SENATE !!!

a few days ago, a close relative while reading a newspaper article about the impeachment proceedings told me and I quote… “loko yang si bongbong mukhang kampi kay Corona, bakit ko ba naiboto yan, hindi ko na yan ulit iboboto”. This relative is 50+ years old and so it follows that HE knows what happened to this country 40 yrs ago, HE HAS NO EXCUSE! i've said this before and i'll say it again... THOSE WHO DON'T LEARN FROM THE LESSONS OF HISTORY ARE DESTINED TO REPEAT IT. and because of that,  nakakalungkot man isipin,  i wouldnt be surprised if one day,  baka si "JUNIOR" eh maging Mr President!   Dear God in heaven,  i sincerely hope and pray i'm no longer around when that happens.
