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".
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.
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!
hhhmmmmm ..... next expose, please!!! ![]()
