to oust or not to oust gma?

seems like another political catastrophe is around the corner. the philippines is becoming more and more unstable like it had been a couple of years ago. many people are waiting for gma's stepping down. many of them no longer can wait for a new administration to govern them. thinking that they would be better off. placing all the blame on the present system.

perhaps when one living just a little bit above, on, or already below the poverty threshold, to make himself feel better, he resorts to blaming other people for such an unfortunate and disheartening fate. and more often that not, or even all the time, the government becomes the target for such a status. perhaps because it is the one in charge of the overall economy, the political atmosphere (healthy or unhealthy), the social happenings and the other imaginable aspects that contribute to the survival of a country WITHOUT looking at how themselves contribute to the overall picture. they always resort to viewing things on the macro level, putting aside the equally significant micro elements/players, i.e., themselves.

sure the government has its own mistakes, if i may say, big ones in our case. but i guess focusing on one confusingly gives people the 'go' sign to open up a totally new issue to worsen things up. as if everything is but a part of an inevitable chain of national mayhem. witnesses spring out from all corners (without the people realizing how each one might simply be coming from the same group, that is the opposition). what matters to the public, i am assuming, is that the government stands accountable for whatever is happening to their lives and thank God for having all these witnesses around to save them from continuous deterioration of their quality of life.

i think for this country to work, we need a miracle. i know, same old cliche. but what else can save us? just when we think that the current administration would lead us to where we want to be. indeed it has done some improvements to put us in a somewhat elevated level. or maybe only few could feel that. for as long as the poor are not salvaged from where they're standing at the moment, they would always feel cheated, held up, miserable. they want instant solution to their problems. right. dream on. they want to live a better life. right. dream on. i guess another problem is how they ask for a lot without understanding how many factors are currently moving and active in partaking in the big process. how each of these factors affect one and the other. they think that the government can easily give them what they want when it wants to. that's absurd. although the government might seem in control of so many things, they're not really in control of everything. the public has penchant for strikes and demonstrations. for coups. for complaints. for blurting out their anger. but i guess alongside all those things is also the government's penchant for change. for reform. for improvement. and of course, not to mention... corruption. or is that merely a tendency?

i don't know.

for now, i'm still on the side of the administration. i still believe that most of what's happening now is but a part of a big plan to overthrow the present system. everything is coming from the opposition. gma's surely up for one big test. the biggest one perhaps she's encountered so far. and to be able to stand it all could mean either of these two things: that she's a truly strong truthful leader or she's a truly clever one to have found her way out of every mess pointed at her at the moment.
