start a revolt

that is why i am thankful to the new administrative we had as of now because our President eliminate those corrupt people or politician in politics,like on what happen during Arroyo's time people wanted to launch revolt and poor people always started it.

I don't think you have to look far and wide for a 'revolt'. I think that if you look around, there are already people or organizations doing initiatives to correct whatever is ailing their government. But, they don't necessarily call it a 'revolt' as I'm sure it's not a recipe for success. Instead, people or organizations work with the system. And try implement change from within. It's just that some people loose their way, and instead end up feeding a corrupt government.

One of the reasons for not revolting would probably be about giving people (politicians included) chances to come out of their stupor of things and start doing their jobs. Just because SOME politicians are corrupted does not mean ALL are and in an established system like the government, I don't think it would be wise to revolt and cause the system to collapse over these non performers. Also, there is a bigger picture as far as the entire country's well being is concern. Look at the Middle East revolts and I am sure you would agree that escalation into a civil war is inevitable. When that happens just consider how much more losses your country will have to bear over time. I believe the government will need to step up as far as fighting corruption is concern and let's just say that this problem is rampant everywhere in the world. I am sure there are better and effective solutions than starting a revolt which can bring dire consequences than results to this problem.

Start a revolt? I don't think resorting into violence is good. In any case, revolting is the last resort. We can always make change in a peaceful manner anyway. If politicians are corrupt and they still remain in their position, blame it on the voting public. They never learn. If voters will only stop voting these corrupt politicians then there is no more problem. But there is actually one question. Who then is not corrupt among these politicians? Are there any?

Maybe we start off with defining what kind of revolt you want. Is it the bloody revolution or an intellectual revolution like what Rizal always wanted? In order to gain freedom from all this mishaps in the society, one should know what that freedom entails. If we revolt, is it clear to us what we are fighting for? We know that there is something wrong in our country, do we really know how to solve it? But I guess corruption is deep seated in culture and because it is a cultural thing, we are all part of this act. So, as the old saying goes "you must be the change you wish to see in the world." Yes maybe we do need a revolution, an inside revolution I suppose.

I know, right? Politicians are showing their so-called plans and platforms if ever they won a position. Well, it's campaign period again and we are going to hear tons of promises again, aren't we? Huh! I just wish that all Filipinos will have the courage to start a revolt. But, a lot are still acting deaf and blind with these kinds of issues. Well, the first thing that comes to their minds is that they will be going to face a huge wall that can make them powerless. The politicians has money. And money makes everything work. Makes the impossible, possible. :( Too bad!
