Predictions 2032*

I've never been a fan of horoscope or predictions but making fun out of it is quite a different story.

Warning: The following predictions is not to be taken seriously.

Predictions 2032*

  • China, India and U.S.A. will launch mission to discover another planet while Philippines will launch new campaign against garbage disposal.
  • Philippine population will reach 130 million while cellphone users will reach over 140 million.
  • Vic Sotto still a bachelor will court either Bea Binene or Jillian Ward.
  • Eat Bulaga will celebrate 52nd anniversary at TV5 while ABS-CBN will launch their 20th noontime show program.
  • Philippines will claim the top 5 position of the World's most corrupt next to Somalia, Afghanistan, Haiti and Libya, respectively.

  • Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera will be the only veteran actor/actress left on Kapuso Network but GMA7 will still claim and insist to be the No.1 network in the country.
  • Number of OFW will reach its peak at 35 million.
  • Seems nothing will change in the line-up of 57th MMFF; films like Enteng Kabisote 24?, Shake Rattle and Roll 33?, Panday 24? Tanging Ina mo Talaga 23?; will still be the top choices of Filipino moviegoers.
  • Koreanovela will dominate local teleserye on Philippine primetime as well as K-Pop music in Phil. music industry, if there is. Tsk tsk.

  • Philippine Basketball Association will change its name into Phil-Foreign Basketball Association as 75% of the premiere league is dominated by Filipino-foreigner cagers.

Wait, there's this prediction of the Mayan that the world will end on December 21, 2012. What will happen? Ha ha. Just like the above predictions it will turn out to be a big joke.
And that would be no joke.

DINASTIYA


Ang pulitika ay hindi negosyong itinatag para sa pamilya at lalong hindi ito isang kaharian (monarkiya) na maaaring ilipat ang taglay na kapangyarihan sa malapit na kapamilya kung ikaw’y matanda na, pagod na o sa sandaling gusto mo munang magpahinga subalit hindi naman ito ang nangyayari sa Pilipinas. Bawat lalawigan sa kapuluan ng Luzon, Visayaz at Mindanao at kahit sa Kamaynilaan ay tila pagmamay-ari na ng iilang angkan lamang.

May batas na nagbabawal sa Political Dynasty sa ating bansa (1987 Constitution, Article 2 Section 6) pero balewala lang ito dahil ang ating mga mambabatas mismo ang lumalabag dito. Kunsabagay, may bago pa dito? Synonymous na nga sa isang probinsya ang apelyido ng mga pulitikong ito sa tagal nang kanilang panunungkulan, sa katunayan at sa katagalan nga ay pinapalitan na ng kanilang pangalan (apelyido) ang kanila mismong pinaglilingkurang bayan o probinsiya. Dahil siguro ito sa legasiyang kanilang naiwan, sa sobrang pagmamahal ng kanyang kababayan o sa husay ng kanilang serbisyo sa bayan.

Nakakatawang malaman na marami ang tumutuligsa at nais buwagin ang dinastiyang itinataguyod ng mga makakapangyarihang mga angkang ito subalit kabaligtaran naman ito sa nais nilang mangyari dahil hindi sila natatalo sa anumang halalan at lalo silang dumarami na ultimo Kapitan o Kagawad ng isang maliit na Baranggay ay kanila na ring kaanak at kapanalig. Isipin mo; ang isang bayan ay pinamumunuan ng iisa o dalawang angkan lang magmula alkalde, bise-alkalde, kinatawan ng distrito, gobernador, bise-gobernador, bokal, konsehal at iba pa bukod pa dito ang hindi halal ng bayan na nanunungkulan o nabigyan ng posisyon sa iba’t-ibang ahensiya na itinalaga ng kanilang kamag-anak na may otoridad na magtalaga sa kanila. Sino na lang ang maglalakas-loob na kumalaban sa kanila kung sakaling mayroong anomalya o katiwalian?

Kung tutuusin mo hindi naman sana ganoon kasama ito lalo’t kung ang serbisyo nila sa mga tao ay tapat, ang kapakanan ng bayan ang iniisip, ang pondo’y winawaldas este ginugugol sa pagpapaunlad ng nasasakupan. Subalit ikaw ba’y naniniwala dito? Sa liit ng sahod ng nasa posisyon sa gobyerno bakit marami ang kumakandidato? Kung sila’y nahalal at nasa posisyon na; bakit ang bilis ng asenso ng kani-kanilang negosyo? Nakakalungkot na napakalaking porsyento ng Pilipino ay naniniwalang pondo lang ng bayan ang habol ng mga angkang ito. At huwag na rin tayong magtaka kung bakit may pinapaslang na mamamahayag na nagsiwalat ng kalokohan ng isang opisyal, may mga kandidatong oposisyong inuutas para siguraduhin ang panalo sa eleksyon. Gagawin ang lahat para lamang mapanatili ang trono ng kanilang angkan.

Ayon sa pag-aaral, nakakalulang humigit-kumulang pitumpu't-limang porsyento ng nanunungkulan o nakapwesto sa isang bayan/lalawigan ay magkakamag-anak. Dominasyong nananatili mula noon hanggang ngayon. Ang ating demokrasya ay "gobyerno ng mga tao para sa tao" pero iilan lang yata ang nakikinabang sa gobyernong ito at kung sila'y tatanungin mariin nilang itatanggi na mayroong umiiral na Dinastiyang Pulitikal sa kanilang lugar. Ang manaig si David sa digmaang David at Goliath sa daigdig ng pulitika ay tila hindi aplikable sa ating bansa dahil sa sandaling sinagupa mo ang mga Goliath na ito ay para mo na ring ibinunggo ang iyong sarili sa napakatatag na kongkretong pader na adobe.

Hindi na rin lingid sa'tin na karamihan sa mga taong nasa likod ng dinastiyang ito ay may taglay na 3G. Guns, Goons & Gold.
Guns ~ Mga armas na handang itutok at iputok sa sinumang magtatangkang kumalaban at hindi umayon sa kagustuhan ng nanunungkulan. Mga armas na mas sopistikado pa kaysa sa hawak na armas ng ating sandatahang lakas.
Goons ~ Mas kilala sa tawag na Private Armies. Mga taga-sunod ng pultiko na parang mga asong handang tupdin ang anumang ipag-uutos ng kanilang amo. Mga taong tila inalisan ng sanidad at handang mamatay at pumatay mali man o tama ang rason.
Gold ~ Karangyaan. Pantapal, panuhol at pantakip-butas sa lahat ng anomalya, kabuktutan, kalokohan at kasamaang ginawa ng isang pulitiko. Lubhang makapangyarihan ito dahil 'pag ito na ang nagsalita, halos lahat ay nakikinig.
May kampanya na noong buwagin ang mga private armies ng mga pultiko pero tila nabahag na rin yata ang buntot ng mga taong nais lamang naman ay kapayapaan tuwing halalan at katiwasayan sa bayan.

Sa kabilang banda, may mga bayan o lalawigan din naman na pinamumunuan ng angkang mayroon pang natitirang katinuan at may katiwasayan sa kanyang lalawigan kahit alam natin na may dinastiya ay may nakikita namang bahagyang progreso at ang disiplina’y mahigpit na ipinapatupad pero mabibilang mo lang ito sa ating mga daliri! Mayroong mga tsumatsamba at nahahalal na may matuwid na plataporma ngunit isa o dalawang termino lang ang itinatagal at balik na ulit sa pwesto ang mga higante sa mundo ng dinastiyang pulitikal. Ano ba talaga ang mayroon sila at hindi sila mabuwag-buwag? Gusto natin ng pagbabago pero ibinoboto naman sila. Silang mga (B)Milyonaryo ang estado sa buhay pero ang kanilang nasasakupan ay kabilang sa isa sa pinakamahihirap na lalawigan sa Pilipinas.
Sayang at hindi nabibigyan ng pagkakataon ang iba na makapaglingkod ng matino.
Sayang at hindi nila maisasakatuparan ang maganda nilang adhikain.
Sayang at tumatanda ring kasama nila ang kanilang mga komprehensibong plataporma at ideolohiya.
Sayang at tila nauupos na kandila ang pag-asa ng tunay na mahihirap na namumuhay ng animo'y alipin sa sariling bayan. Ayaw man nila ito o ginusto.
Sayang at hindi nabigyan ng pagkakataon ang iba na makinabang sa pondo ng bayan.
Sayang.

a politician's tale


what's the wonder of you?
why do you corrupt the mind of the mankind?
are you created just to make people greed?
or existed only to make them slaves?
i don't know how many people suffered just to achieve the glory of you
and sometimes you're cause of a death, it is sad but it is true
some give their faithfulness and offered selfish-less services
but it all doesn't matter because sooner he will be eaten by the system
the people you victimize became so mentally strange
they became insane and always hungry for your power
'coz there's no sense left in their mind and thinking
their life becomes so unruly and miserable
likewise to his countrymen and his government that is disable

promises. there were tons of promises
"i can make you rich and we shall win against the poverty"
the common words they would say when they are under your spell
but when they got elected we realized they giving us another hell!
sometimes you became the youth's inspiration
but most of the time you're a key to all desperation
sometimes you make the inspired feel so good
but most of the time you made their day in the evil mood
some says you're the key to build a newer life
but there were so many lives you ruined and ruined
i believe you helping some dreams to become reality
but you are aiding some dreams become a nightmare fatality
sometimes you gave sight to the blunder
but you also take away the vision of the others
sometime in election, you made us feel like a precious jewel
but weeks after that our lives become so cruel
they say you make the whole world go round
and help people rise when they are feeling so down
but why there were so many sins committed just because of your glory?
i'm almost believin'...you are existed to make our lives live miserably

that's what politics are for...
