Three days to go before the end of 2009, a very disastrous, troubled year for the Philippines and the rest of the world. Typhoon after typhoon pounded the helpless archipelago with rains equal of supposedly a year of water. The effects was so devastating, lives lost, infrastructure where demolished by the great floods. Crying mothers, wandering children and fathers devoured of pride and of strength. Most part of the country was in darkness literally as the power lines were damaged by raging winds.
After the storms subsided, a different kind of blow was the Maguindanao massacre or should I say genocide. A nation of love and hospitality suddenly catapulted at the top of the list of undesirable places to travel to, due to the blood bath of civilians and press people.
Then, the most disturbing events that took place in the arena of Philippine Politics: incumbent Her Shameless ( ooops! I mean Excellency) President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo filed her candidacy for the position of Congressman, whoa! So the activists were right after all, she want s to remain in power for as long as she can and to complete the clowns of Philippine Politics Circus, the former President Joseph Estrada filed his candidacy for president after being removed from office and convicted by the Sandigan Bayan, and like the circus as it is, she was pardoned by GMA hoping she would appease the Latter’s supporters.
Anyway belated merry Christmas and a happy New Year! (I hope). I hope this New Year will be a good one, a year of enlightenment and a year of hope for all the Filipinos back home and the OFW’s around the world.
