8| here we go, again! another whistleblower came of the woodwork of the institution called - Philippine government. the Senate is (again!) conducting a hearing in-aid-of-legislation. our television screen is (again!) filled with the images of the "hero", the "judges", the "guilty", the "innocents", the "self-righteous", the "so-sure-of-himself", and the "wanted-to-be-seen".

U-( newspapers, primetime and late news are all about this latest "expose " - the anomalies, the corruption, the claiming of the "truth". we, the public is bombarded of these "truth" and "lies" which is like a tennis match - exchanging of accusations left and right. and the networks outdoing each other in coming-up with "exclusives" in different angles.

:'( me, personally? i don't care. this is the stand i am taking. so what, if it is a billion-dollar-peso-expose? so what, if mr lozano is telling the truth? so what, if the palace is guilty? if i know all these, will it make my life richer? will it make my family happy? will i gain lots of friends? will it solved all my financial problems i am facing at the moment? i think, this is what the rest of the Filipino people is asking themselves. watching the live, delayed and replayed telecast of the investigation will not bring-food-on-my-table nor money-in-my-purse. it is a waste of time. just like the previous exposes. . . what were those, again? there were so many whistleblower and so many Senate investigations that it clogged my brain.

:## but frankly, to tell you the truth, why this kind of reaction? because, i'm so tired na. nothing happened. no one goes to prison. no one is convicted. no one . . . wala lang. dead ma.

:wave: who gains? meralco - for the increase in power consumption. smart and globe - for the text messages circulating. the philippine daily inquirer, philippine star, manila bulletin - for the increase in sales. the tv networks (abs-cbn & gma) for the ratings game!

:zz: hhhmmmmm ..... next expose, please!!! :yawn:
