It takes one difficult situation to know what type of leader the country has. But what if he was given too many chances to prove that and yet he would rather turn away? Would you still expect or hope for bigger things from this kind of leader?
From the time Pnoy took oath as president, I have never felt his sincerity to improve the country's condition nor his dedication to his job. He may have been the son of the two most praised political figure but he never cared the way his father and mother do to his fellowmen. From his first day up to this moment, he kept on blaming somebody else for all his incompetent decisions. I would be happy if I can recall anything or atleast one, that he had acknowledge a thing that had gone wrong in his administration. Unfortunately, there is none.
If we are going to look back, we have encountered so many misfortunes during his term. Poverty, criminals on loose, corruption, massacre, infrastructure failures, hostage taking, calamities, territorial disputes, unrightful agricultural land acquisition, and this time death of many of our country's protectors. I always rant silenty about how he handles these situations, tried to keep it for myself because I know my voice will never reach his unwanting ears. The man who said that we are his boss is ironically the boss. Which makes me understand the big difference between being a boss and being a leader. He is lucky that the people he serves are resilient and capable to withstand each blow. But until when can we take this kind of lead from someone who cannot face these tough issues but yet able to give his time to watch his nephew's movie or allow the use his office for an entertainment interview? Should he not know that his office is for the state's use or did show business already invade the main seat of power?
Right now my heart is in grief as many of our men died to protect our country. So many rumors are spreading about the real perpetrators behind this inhuman crime and for the nth time, there is someone again to put the blame on. For all we know, power will again be used to hide the truth and shall be buried together with those brave men. The death of these men only means that the country is on a pitfall in his hands.
For years he has not learned a single lesson but instead became too stubborn and arrogant. We don't need justification, we need justice. More so, we don't need blah blah, do something or if you can't then step down.
