Political Dynasty

Dallas or Dynasty? It must have been some sort of television soap opera on what's truly happening during the pre-election , election campaign and at the time when all ballots are counted. Ballots? ! Hey they used new kind of tabulation, they used smartmatic right? Smartmatic-arithmetic. Darn! I should have been in Philippines to find that out. It's over! The votes are counted and hands and arms been raised. How lucky those candidates who won the election. They deserved the winnings. The heartfelt saga now is after the winnings, let them count their check book and bankbook account. To campaign around the country, going from different provinces in the Philippines you need bigger budget. You have to be rich to do that. How many in your team or group to move around, fly from one province to another, pay for those people who are in your team, the gasoline for the vehicles, the allowance such as for food, uniform, banners, slogans, pamphlets, mural and post advertisements all of these incurred a lot of expenses. So many papers, so many confettis-patis and you'll see them on the ground, on the road, everywhere, electric post, trees, walls, even on the walls of so many houses, on the walls of the buses, jeeps, tri-cycles, and t-shirts worn by people who are in favor of the candidate for election. Make sure you clean those dirt or it will plug the drainage and might cause flood. You know... Millions of money spent for this nationwide election. Wow! Hectic. Hectic schedule for so many of the candidates that if you didn't see them on the stage debate there is a reason and some reasons are valid if they are honest, rather truthful. What the debate for? Lots of talk? The people want the candidates to work not talk. WORK and SERVE the people. Talking is just plain talk. It's nothing when you cannot do anything. There are few people who can talk and work, only few from so many who can use both of these power. The power to be heard just by writing is another story.

On political dynasty? Cheaper by the dozen style! Why not? The Filipino way of politicking was such as originally been patterned how our ancestors had their way during their time before the Spaniards conquered  Philippines. The barangay was ruled by a certain datu, the oldest, strongest, richest man in their area. Richest man. One of the qualifications. One who has thousand acres of land. Haciendero. Then the Spaniards came and not only they conquered the land but subdivided the land for themselves for farming, mining, housing and land acquisition never stop. They also ruled the land, people, and the law, imposed so much taxes and what else change the names of the inhabitants of that land by baptizing each and every natives so that they can have Christian names. From being pagan, Muslims and Buddhists they all became Christians and must serve Spain. They changed the name of the island, the whole archipelago and name the island as La Islas Filipinas in Spanish. It's now called Philippines, derived and named after King Phillip of Spain.  If you don't believe me then you have to go on a research at the oldest university or library to find that out. Koreans the new inhabitants of Philippines wont believe it because they only after for gold. Thus PSY is making loud thunder with his "Gentlemen."

Know it all or Know-nothing, but history is being repeated. If you're not aware of what's happening and at present situation? You are a lost cause!

Are the LOCUST back in action? Wrong spelling? No. Not really! LOL

Political dynasty about the BINAY FAMILY? They all are FILIPINOS right? Why vote somebody you don't know? You have to VOTE people you know so that they will represent you and will make sure that the PHILIPPINES belong to the true Filipinos not to foreigners.
