ULTRA Tragedy
Blaming each other is what Pinoys do best. If you read the article linked above, you’ll see there the “versions” of various people on how the case should be handled, who to blame, and what the proper penalties are.
Don’t they see the point? It is not who’s responsible for the “accident” or the rightful punishment to whoever that must be taken into consideration. It’s the sad truth about the current situation of the Filipino people. A game show offering lots of prizes for everyone who doesn’t need to be anyone? It’s natural for thousands of hopeful Filipinos to respond to this. But why did they? Because poverty is written all over our country’s name, and for many, joining a gameshow, such as ‘Wowowee’ is a great opportunity, if not the last one, for them to possibly rise up from where they are. It’s about time the government makes a drastic move to save the Philippines. It’s about time the corrupt officials stop being selfish and actually see how they can help our nation’s problems.
Okay, I’m sounding very demanding here, when I, in fact, could not do anything more than complain about it. I’m just really sad as I come to learn more about this tragedy (at this hour in the morning!). And it’s sadder that I can’t do anything about it. I’ve (unconsciously) stopped seriously praying for the Philippines for a while now, and I think it’s time to be back on track. May we all find time to pray for our country. It’s the least we can do.
PS: Sensya sa super-serious mode. Hehe. Epekto ng Graveyard. Gtg home now. Bye.
