I have read an article about the Filipino's total lack of interest with our country. This after the author of that article saw the UAAP Finals between the Ateneo and the UST. He wondered why we can easily identify ourselves with our alma mater whereas we cant do so with our country?
one of the reasons he gave was there was nothing interesting with our country's current affairs to begin with. puro lang daw bangayan and investigations on who got the money, who is corrupt, the country's economy is improving blah blah and lastly, there's the question of GMA's legitimacy to rule. that issue has been trashed twice already..give it a rest. di tayo dapat maging hypocrites. buti sana if the opposition have some sort of solution to give us should they succeed in uprooting GMA from the presidency. i guess wala. they just want to grab power. so forgive us (yuppies)and most of the college communities across the country if we are apathetic.we are happy to rally behind our schools because at least may patutunguhan yung contest like UAAP games. he he. moving on, i want to ask this question. if this is our current state, how can we change it? or how can we regain our nationalism/patriotism?
my solutions are kinda extreme but here are the choices.
1. we go to war with malaysia to reclaim Saba and 2. we will have a civil war, purge the bureaucracy and rebuild the country ala singapore. we will have a semi democratic/authoritarian government.
reason for number 1.
Sabah has always been a subject of contention because our records show that sulu has jurisdiction over it but for some reason, malaysia claims it because it was part of their territory rented by the British and turned over to them. now, if you were familiar with the news, many Pinoys are there working legally and illegally and mostly Muslims but for some reason, Malaysian customs and immigration officials abuse our brethren just because they were illegals. therefore, with the continuation of this inhumane treatment, if i am the President, i will ask the Congress to declare war against the Malaysians and reinstate the reservists and draft every citizen available for this mission. the press secretary will create a propaganda stating that patriotism and nationalism must be mustered by every Filipino because Sabah was taken from us. we must get what is ours.throughout the country, there should be a sound system constantly reminding us to enlist and help reclaim what is ours, remind the country that despite the lack of armaments during WW2, we fought the Japanese till the very end.that way, passion for our country will be reawakened.
reason for number 2.
because of animosity among factions of the government, the other faction (composed of governors and congressmen) will secede from the country by declaring a withdrawal of support from the government of the Philippines and creates a new nation. the president then convenes whats left of Congress and orders the military to take action and arrest all of the traitors. the rebellious faction however has the support of their constituents and will bare arms for their
newly founded nation. so this action will plunge the country into civil war and whoever wins the war will have the task of rebuilding the country, unifying it and institute a semi democratic/authoritarian government.
you see one of the problems of our country is our lack of discipline. so if the government is strong and really enforces the law and punishes without question those who have done wrong, everything will be different. take for example, singapore.
plus, the bureaucracy will be run corporate style. only the best will be able to serve the government. stringent selection processes must be in place. meritocracy is the only gauge for promotions and cabinet positions must be manned by public servants who rose through the ranks in that particular department. no outsiders allowed. only then can our nation move forward. it will just take a little determination from our part, citizens of the Philippines.
