if you want something done right

then do it yourself. that's the way it goes, right? in other words, if someone else does it for free, you have no right to complain about shoddy worksmanship. so why are people up in arms over gloriagate? people like to talk big when there's no possibility that they'll be held responsible for their claims. you try being president of the philippines and see if you don't just give up and run off with a couple hundred billion souveniers.

in philippine politics, there never is a best option; there's only the least evil. the only reason she rose to power was because nobody wanted her opponent to. so she's not a saint. you voted for her; deal with it. not satisfied, eh? well, would you have preferred that fpj had won?

the fact is, we'd rather have a parade of actors|politicians elected and impeached, at the cost of our nation's economy and reputation, rather than stepping up to the challenge of actually going out and doing something concrete such as donating goods or money, or volunteering for social work. we'd rather blame a figurehead for our apathy, knowing that if he|she gets funny ideas, we can just mock up another scandal and replace him|her with some other scapegoat.

rallying won't solve our current crises, nor will it convince her to resign without visible support from the military. all it's doing is wasting our time and resources. you know - the same time and resources that can be put to better use elsewhere, if you utterly refuse to get on with your lives.

people today are too pampered. don't like your dinner? daddy will order a pizza. too lazy to do research? have a classmate email you his work. bad game? there's always the reset button. well guess what, kids - life's got no reset button. try to imagine a dota game where everyone's a noob leaver. that pretty much sums up our current situation.

consider this: the relatively wealthy supported glora during the elections and the masa supported fpj. which of the two now want gloria out and which are holding their tongue?
