We Filipinos can only blame ourselves
for the conditions of the affairs of our State.
Culturally, we are imitators to the West. Nationally, we do not know our
identity. Militarily, we fight with sticks and rocks. Why…because we keep on
voting crooks. The crooks that win the
top post will assign other crooks to juicy posts, even sing Marvin Gaye’s
“What’s Going On”. (One crook even stole the Presidency in a not so distant
past)
I would love to name names but
Janet Napoles made a list, checked it twice, and listed a lot of crooks in her
own crooked way.
Now, did we grow? Did we develop
as a strong Nation? Is their advancement in our Filipino lives? Looking at a
different perspective, millions of Over-Seas-Filipino workers advanced to
different countries and made those countries more productive and more developed
than us.
This brings me back to my point.
By this time of age we the Filipinos should be as mighty as Israel in terms of
Military capabilities. Unfortunately, our Armed Forces of the Philippines
cannot even trounce the Abu Sayaf, Nur MIsuari and even the NPA rebels.
Budget allocations were pocketed
and misused by (refer to Napoles list please) and “some” military officials.
Hence, just one water cannon from the Chinese coast guards we scramble to our
old friend the United States of America.
I admit that we need the United
States to protect us from the Chinese government.
Side note*** - The Chinese Government and the Chinese People are
two very different entity in its entirety. The Chinese Government is composed of
filthy rich Chinese officials who are so drunk with money and power. The
Chinese People on the other hand the ones who really does not care of territorial
disputes. The Chinese People are friendly folks who just work and work to earn
and earn.
Now since everybody in our ASEAN
region know that we are incapable of defending ourselves, the Chinese
Government, being the opportunist that they are, is already capitalizing on our
disadvantage, they us intimidation. Since we cannot fight back we can only use
our wits. Ask for help.
United States, being the super
cop of the world rescues us like a damsel in distress. Don’t get me wrong I am
all for that.
Obama did the right move, to show
that all countries whether big or small must follow international laws. Actually, Obama can dictate a speech from his
lofty White House. Instead, he visited to the Philippines to make a statement.
It can also be construed as, the
United States is a super power and as the leader of the free world China should
emulate the same behavior as the United States if China wants to be a super
power.
