The Philippine Opposition et al
I do not like and do not have any respect to the current opposition bloc in the Philippine Congress and Philippine Senate and its members. It is just filled with worthless and immoral personalities that would do anything in the name of grabbing power. Aren't the personalities in the opposition minions of Marcos and Ejercito-Estrada?
A reason I hate and dislike the opposition is that they do not have a genuine honest to goodness plan for the Philippines if ever they are swept to power. All they could do is to come up with grand abstract notions such as "Ibalik ang Dangal ng Pilipino" (Restore the Filipino's Dignity) and alike. People are not swept to power or earn the trust of the people by selling them abstract ideas.
What would these opposition groups do if suddenly they are at the helms of power in the Philippines? How will they reduce the budget deficit and manage the ballooning foreign debt (made worse by the recent credit downgrades)? How can they stimulate the creation of jobs to stop rising unemployment? How can they stop the rising prices of goods and services? How can they minimize the effect of the rising oil prices to the public at large? How will they fix the problems of basic and tertiary education in the country and the high costs burden to families associated with it? How will they fix the problem of basic health care services in the country? How can they solve these problems if all they are good at are street theatrics and rhetoric (although they seem to be good at it because most of the members are TV and movie stars anyway)?
To be honest I don't like a lot of President Gloria Arroyo's policies but at least she is doing something and there is no alternative.
Speaking of an alternative, it seems that the opposition cannot even come up with a single voice or solution. If you could remember some opposition members are divided. Some factions want Susan Roces as new leader, some want (gasp) Joseph Ejercito-Estrada, some want a junta and one wants herself to be successor, bitch-par-excellence-bar-none, Loren Legarda.
Also, are we really that dumb that people with surnames like Marcos and Ejercito-Estrada are worth our care and respect?! The least that they could do is to RETURN their STOLEN WEALTH.
The Philippine situation today is a real basket case.
