Pinoy's PNOY

i have been on a short hiatus as i have not gone out, except for the office and the groceries, so there's nothing interesting to blog about.. until a few moments ago... i was browsing my favorite forum, when i came across a topic entitled "DISRESPECT TO PRESIDENT"... i was intrigued by the title.. i was thinking if it's inviting disrespect or it's just declaring an incident, so i had to find out... and sadly it was both... they cited an incident and started bashing his every action and every decision that he makes... from his smirk, to his eating of just hotdogs and burgers during his US visit... it was filled with negative posts from different members of that forum... those were their opinions but i did not post a thing there, as they are obviously blinded by their negativities, even if i was so itching to type...

"Let him who is without sin throw the first stone.."
(i mean who among us has not violated a simple road sign.. or who has always fallen in line or has never cut off a line to at least show they're disciplined individuals..)

i remember them agreeing that GMA's way better than PNOY..
Seriously?!
i know i am not in the position to question such a statement,
as i have not spent a day in the Philippines with PNOY as the president...
i did not vote for him either...
i even tried to persuade my parents not to vote for him,
but to no avail of course...
it was their right to choose who they think will make a difference in the life of Juan Dela Cruz...

but seriously?!

with all the obvious corruptions during her time,
and her obvious greed for power???

i just had to sigh and breathe heavily...

 i just dont understand why some pinoys are so busy fishing for faults and flaws from the new administration...
(OH make that every administration! as they do not ran out of complaints!)
i know there will be flaws...corruptions (but hoping it would be minimized at least)...
perhaps some decisions will be made against our personal understanding and beliefs...
but what good do we get from bashing and citing all the negativities...
i mean, he's only been there for what?! 120? 130 days?!
the Philippines has been in the bottom for yearsssssssssss...
and looking for sudden enormous changes is just like asking for a miracle...
his term is 6 years...

it will be six LONG years if you keep bringing about the negativities..

six long years of disappointment if that's how you would want to look at it..


but I CHOOSE NOT TO...


for me, i would like to look at it as a 6-year term of trying and hoping...
trying to save the Philippines from corruptions... from greedy politicians...
trying to make a change...
trying to make a clearer and better future for my daughter...

PNOY may not be the most ideal president nor the best among the presidentiables last May...
but he was the one chosen by the majority...
let us respect that, and at least try to trust him and let him lead us...

if only each and every Filipino is united towards our betterment...
is exercising his every right accordingly without abuse...
is practicing discipline from the littlest of things...
is giving rooms for improvement and changes...
and is giving the due respect to things and people...

Maybe then we can hope for a better Philippines...

but for as long as we continue with our semi-corrupted and proud ways,

then let's not be surprised if we come to the worst...

No matter how excellent the president that we vote for is,

nothing's gonna change...

unless we start it amongst ourselves...

PEACE!!!
