philippine politics

This is why I liked the Marcos rule, (before he became a slave to the desires of his thing err I mean wife)one man, one rule. I may not know much about it having been just born at the end of his rule, but form what I have heard and read, he is an admirable man. Its sad that here in our beloved motherland we really can't agree upon any one thing fully. We always use the president or someone in the upper level as a scapegoat to blame our mistakes to but we fail to realize that within their mistakes we are also needed to be blamed. No matter how united each Filipino citizen is seen by other countries the direct opposite of it is what we do. The rich try to leave this country and the poor try to bring down the rich. In politics it became so rare that a politician wants to be elected to help the nation, rather they are forced to run at the elections so those who support them may gain some favors. I find it really sad that when it comes to elections and the like the next thing that comes into mind is that they cheated (if the won) or were cheated (if they lost) . If that is how things will go why have any elections at all? I doubt we will progress any further from where we are now if things continue it present path. I wish that one day everyone will realize this and stop all these madness, or else one day we will be waking up no longer Filipinos because we became so poor that some third rate smuck bought us off easy.
