position paper

this is just something to pass me by.. it's practically my position paper for Englone. i come in peace, really. hehe. :D

I Oppose the Opposition

What with the recent controversies arising from the opposition against the administration has not brought any good in our people's lives. We've seen reports come and go about this issue; did anyone benefit from it? Inasmuch as we all want to take part and have our voices heard out in the open, sometimes we just all want to shut up because this whole subject seems to revolve only around those people in position. We can recall that this basically started when Mr. Poe "lost" to Mrs. Arroyo during the Presidential elections two years ago. I should say that it wasn’t a clean fight for there arose a whole lot of arguments after the said election.

We all want the best for our country; that's the truth. Sometimes, however, some people have a distorted image or picture of what really is the best. This is evident in the perspective the opposition holds. We see them throw all kinds of dirt on the administration's face like it doesn't matter, not taking into account all the filth that they all trying to suppress. Just because their bet for presidency failed to make it as our executive; they say that the other party didn't play fair. You see politics is such a dirty game in its own field. It should not come as a huge surprise for all of us whenever such uncertainties creep up under our noses. It's true, Gloria admitted the unjust circumstances that she has committed; but isn't that enough for them to hear? Admitting that in public was such a difficult thing to do; yet, she swallowed her pride and tried to clear her name. They say that GMA is not the right person to lead this country because of the sole reason that she has done immoral acts. If we look at it realistically, our world is already full of immoral acts and we all are surrounded by it. While they're blabbing about Arroyo not fit for such position, they were not able to present us a viable alternative as well. From my slick point of view, it was she who's trying her best to accommodate all of us in the first place. She's die trying to get our country going and yet what does the opposition do? They're trying to do otherwise: make sure she doesn't make it. Most of them think that she's the big problem amidst all what is happening; but what they don't see is they are the ones who create all those fuss.

We all know that this country is democratic in its own right. We all are allowed to voice out our opinions about current situations and the like. But I couldn't remember a time when random citizens like me were able to do so. Who're the ones shouting for their so-called rights? The opposition. Their notion of democracy is restricted to their own rights to freedom; without really knowing what we people want. We chose to be silent because that's what we want, and what do they do? They continue to publicize how they try to voice out the needs of the Filipino people. First and foremost, I didn't ask for that. No one asked for them to do that.

This is old news; I know that. But hey, this is something that cannot forever be banished from our minds and hearts. The opposition proved that GMA is not the only problem this country has. Because the way I see it, they are a far more serious threat to this land of ours than any other entity. If only they resorted to a less aggressive attempt to bring forth downfall on our president, then maybe, just maybe, I would not oppose the opposition the way i despise them right here and now.
