IS IT REALLY SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
It actually seems like a REAL DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION this time rather than the RevGov we were pushing Duterte to proclaim or even the over-hyped EDSA '86.
32 million Filipinos with an overwhelming majority to boot is an UNPRECEDENTED & UNDENIABLE statement that people want, need, and expect a CHANGE from the worn-out song & dance and dark theatrics we were subjected to.
As usual, PRRD has again proven that he is more likely to be right than we are. Matindi talaga!
Of course, how we, the people handle it this time, is the big question. We need to move forwards, not sideways or backwards again.
Winners or losers in the past election WE ALL OWE IT TO OURSELVES to help the elected President do what he can do to the best of his abilities and hopefully even more with the support of ALL of us. And if, despite all our support things don't go forward, then perhaps we can help fix what went wrong rather than condemn at every turn.
Truly, crucifying someone because you so firmly believe heart and soul that BBM will surely do whatever evil you wish to imagine anyway so you have to stop him at all costs makes utterly NO SENSE AT ALL!
I might believe it if the reason they are so sure of their accusations is what he has consistently done in the past 35 years. But NONE OF THEM CAN SAY A SINGLE DAMNED THING about BBM himself! That's hilarious!
What the opposition is supposed to say at this point after they have been so soundly beaten is that they will "continue with their efforts to help the country and will cooperate with the new administration while serving as "watch dogs" to bark at the first sign of any anomalies" or some such thing.
Instead they are protesting simply because they don't want him to do what the Constitution say he should. If anything, this shows how seriously misguided the students have been by their respective educational institutions who are now reaping the whirlwind for their seemingly imprudent political stances by having all dropped several hundred places in the world university rankings.
But I guess they think this was a "necessary evil" result of the opposition to PRRD for the past six years. Really? And now that PRRD is leaving they want to continue for another six years at the least and/or maybe fight to the death if possible?
This senseless foolishness HAS TO STOP! Can we not even at least have a say, 100 day ceasefire, as was the custom?
Seems like it's time some elititos have a snack of humble pie courtesy of the Dep-Ed.
I have a feeling a memo may soon be issued saying students joining rallies must do so after classes. Those who do during class hours as well as those joining boycotts will be marked absent. Profs who encourage students to miss classes to join rallies/boycotts will be fined, suspended or terminated.
Some people should have their heads examined if they still don't get what happened.
