Don't Blame the Masses

Rey told me about this blog. please comment on his blog or mine :D

my comment:
First of all, I think it's very wrong to blame the poor o ang masa. It's not fair so say that they don't have the right to voice out their opinions. A lot of people are not paying their taxes and i mean a LOT: artista, doctor, businessman, abogado, etc. Tingin nyo b ung utang ng mahihirap sa tax eh mas malaki pa sa utang ng mga abusadong mga mayayaman na to?? Only a fraction of what these rich people do not pay ang ndi nababayaran ng masa. so PLEASE don't say that these people should not voice out their opinion. and yes, most of the masses is not educated.. but please dont blame everything on them. gaya ng sabi ng isang comment, madalas ay ginagamit lng sila ng mga tunay na may balak sa gov't. eh kasi mahirap sa knila ang pera at kung tlgang kinakapos k sa pera, wla kang magagawa kundi kumapit sa patalim. that's human nature.

one person commented on the poor being lazy.. i think this is an overgeneralization. think about it. what do jobs require? an education. do you think the gov't has provided a good public education (since it's the only thing the masses can afford)? another thing, it's hard to find a good job here in the phils. a lot of fresh grads are having a hard time finding a job. and these people HAVE an education.. so pano p ung wla? then they have no jobs so they can't afford to go to school.. and the cycle goes on and on. It's a sad thing.

last point, i think it's safe to say that most of us here in this thread have a good education. so please use it! serving the country does not mean a gov't position. u can be a teacher, a janitor, an engineer, a scientist. please don't turn ur back on our country! a lot of people already have... nakakaawa nmn. one person CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. pare kung ganyan tayo lahat mag-isip.. wla tlgang uunlad. our country needs our help. wlang tutulong sa ating mga pilipino kundi tayong mga pilipino. please do your part... wag nyong sabihing babalik n lng ako sa pilipinas kung ok na. it would be better if you helped in the rebuilding process. kung maririnig yan ni rizal ano kayang sasabihin sayo? 'ako nagpakamatay para lng mapalaya ang aking bayan.. serbisyo lng ang hinihingi sayo hindi kamatayan'

sorry if this comment is so long, i just wanted to tell everyone my opinion
-------------------------
i would really appreciate comments :D

    ouch.. nakakatama naman yan :P unfortunately, i wasn't raised to be nationalistic (or maybe i just wasn't born with it) so i don't understand the sentiment of "going down with the ship." isn't it ironic that i'm the daughter and niece of activists? pero ganun eh. i won't deny that this country needs more patriots. i really hope that others will be inspired to love their country more. i just don't think i'll be one of them.
