THE IRONIES OF TODAY’S PHILIPPINE POLITICS

People are criticizing CHR for interfering in deaths in war on drugs accusing CHR is defending the criminals.  While it looks like true, the irony is that, this is not true.  To find even more lapses, they are criticizing CHR for not intervening in crimes like incest, homicide, attempted murder between family members.  These people are ignorant.  The irony is that, CHR has nothing to do with these crimes.  So these people are barking in the wrong tree.  These crimes are job of PNP not CHR.

More than any given time, people are more outspoken now against the Catholic Church and its heads, accusing of intervening in politics but not the powerful sect of INC.  People are proud to claim the only country as the predominant Catholic country in Asia but we have weak faith who can lambast its very own heads of Catholic Church, that's the irony.  We are agnostic with our religion but we do not want to go to other religion or be atheist because we know that only in Catholicism we can do what we want.

A lot of people mocked Leila Delima for her past relationship with her former driver but the irony is that, many of these people are currently having their own extra marital affair too, or doing cybersex with their social media friends, or they too have past illicit affairs.  For the sake of satirical argument, some people lampoon Delima’s appearance but the irony is that, these people are somehow look like Delima even they’re males.

A senator has a very nice view on forgiving the Marcoses as in if God has forgiven us then how much more we people.  This is so classic because the irony is that, the Senator doesn’t believe in the second chance for drug users and pushers.  He versus himself, while the Senator is spreading the words of God but in God’s command “Thou Shall not Kill”, the senator is epic failed when he supported the death penalty.  A self proclaimed born again Christian but the irony is that he has lots of questionable stands that contradict to the basic foundation of Christianity.

There is this die hard supporter and political partisan blogger who is accountable for spreading unverified, unreliable, fabricated and fake news in social media that disunite people, encourage anger in the millions of netizens and brought chaos in the country.  Notorious for spreading fake news and hate campaign, the irony is that this blogger was appointed as Under Secretary of Presidential Communications Operation Office.  Earlier, the morally questionable blogger was appointed to chair the regulation and classification of movies and television programs.

Come to think of it, the President was elected by the multitude of voters merely because of his promise to finish drugs in just 3 months.  The irony now is from 3 – 6 months drug free and crime free Philippines that people believed, it is extended to 6 months to 3 years more to finish drugs. In 2016 SALN, President is 3 million richer than when he used to claim he is poor man while Vice President is 2 million poorer now.

The notorious personalities that our judicial branch has ordered the likes of GMA, Napoles, Colangco et all behind bars, they are now state’s sweethearts.  We are furiously accusing Aquinos the true NPA but not Duterte’s soft spot to NPA.  We expelled the Marcoses before, praise them now.  Hate China before, love then now.

Philippines politics today is very ironic.  While the 16 millions jubilant to these ironies, the majority 25 million are suffering. We are losing support from US and reject aid from EU but accepted the exorbitant interest loan from China.  We said traffic in EDSA was not resolved by the past administration but today it appears to have worsened.  We accused the past admin for poor service of MRT but it is still in bad shape today. 


Not only ironic, our politics today is a roller coaster and topsy-turvy.  It is contradicting... opposing... How ironic that we always yell the changes should start within ourselves but when we changed, then here are our officers in charged today who are disrespecting our effort to start changes from ourselves.  Changes? I guess not.  I guess politics.
