I am a citizen of this country and i love it dearly coz this is the only country i have. I have seen its changes, its developments, its disasters and calamities, its glories and victories, how foreighners abused it and used it then avoided it. Everyday its poor people are getting poorer and poorer and those in positions getting richer and richer. Those who can afford it fled out of this beautiful country, some have to seek jobs to other countries maybe even be slaves just to earn enough for the family. The situation is really getting worser and worser everyday not to mention the garbage, the pollution, the homeless, the corruption, the crimes and the politics.
When asked have you done anything for this poor country?even in your own little way?even if you are just a minimum wage earner like me?instead of complaining?instead of fleeing?instead of doing nothing?

I'm doing my part to explain to everyone my lot included that the system itself corrupts the leaders and its citizen.Therefore every leader of this country cannot escape this painful truth.Its the American interest that corrupts our minds,our leaders and it seems that only a few can see this glaring truth.I wish that all the Filipinos can see and accept the fact that when a leader is trying to make changes in the government for its betterment and upliftment,politically and economically,outside forces will come to the scene and will tell us how bad it is for our country.If that leader will defend his position,then he will be subject to charges of corruption and demonization.The opposing politician will come to the scene and will tell the Filipino people how corrupt that leader is.It's happening again and again and yet we don't seem to notice it.Are the American media far more superior than us,are the local media not bribed,they are like you and me who have their own brain to think and analyze.Even the Americans are subject to this situation courtesy of the British banking owners.

yes the cycle is unending even if how many million times we change our leaders and those in position..outside forces will still continue to inflict its own interests...so we never have any escape.

As one of the good citizen and good christian believing in Gods wisdom. I always pray and ask the Good Lord to rain a shower of Good and to unite divided people. Make Miracle of belonging in order to attain peace. Make and have a direction in life so that bad will be punish by their on doings and a sort of good luck for those doing good. I always pray to have a miracle of changes to this bloody election and from that all bad elements may face their opponent so that what will remain is the good ones. I do believe that its a time of Judgesment like the Calamities we had. The troubles we experience to eleminate some peoples. I pray also that the outcome of election is the attainment to have a balance of Power so that abuses and corruction will be minimized.
