DISPARITY

ONE MORNING, I AND MY FRIEND WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE MY BOSS  WERE EXCHANGING IDEAS ABOUT THE GREAT DISPARITY BETWEEN THE POOR AND THE RICH, THOSE WHO HOLD POWER AND THOSE WHO ARE NOT AND THE KIND OF TREATMENT ACCORDED TO THEM.

FOR THE SAKE OF ILLUSTRATION I WILL CITE THE CASE OF FORMER MILITARY COMPTROLLER LIGOT WHO AMASSED HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BE EXACT 740 MILLION IN THE SPAN OF FOUR YEARS AS AFP COMPTROLLER.

ONLY YESTERDAY, THE SENATE  ARRESTED HIM AND PUT HIM UNDER SENATE HOUSE ARREST. NOT FOR GRAFT AND CORRUPTION CASE BUT FOR NOT SHOWING UP TO SENATE INQUIRY.

BUT AN ORDINARY JUAN DELA CRUZ, WHO OUT OF HIS NEEDS  SHOP LIFT AND WAS CAUGHT IMMEDIATELY HE IS PUT BEHIND BARS EVEN BEFORE THE RIAL OF HIS CASE.


BUT GRAFT AND CORRUPTION IS NOT ONLY CATEGORIZE AS STEALING THE PEOPLE'S MONEY BUT ROBBING THEM IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND YET THEY ARE FREE AS A BIRD AND RECEIVE A SPECIAL TREATMENT AS COMPARED TO POOR JUAN DELA CRUZ WHO ONLY STEAL OUT OF HIS NEEDS BUT RECEIVE HARSH TREATMENT.


RAMON MAGSAYSAY,ONE PHILIPPINE PAST PRESIDENT ONCE SAID: "THOSE WHO HAVE LESS IN LIFE MUST HAVE MORE IN LAWS." IT WAS RE=ECHOED BY PRESIDENT NOYNOY AQUINO DURING THE 65TH UNITED NATION GENERAL ASSEMBLY.


I HOPE THIS GREAT DISPARITY BETWEEN THE POOR AND THE RICH WILL BE GIVEN ATTENTION  BY THE PHILIPPINES LAW MAKING BODY AND THE POLICY MAKING BODY OF OTHER COUNTRIES.


GOING BACK TO MY MORNING CONVERSATION WITH MY BOSS, HE SAID: "THIS THING ONLY HAPPENS IN THE PHILIPPINES."


INDEED IT IS ANOTHER WAKE UP CALL FOR  OUR LAWMAKERS AND FOR THE ENTIRETY OF OUR GOVERNMENT FROM THE TOP DOWN TO THE BOTTOM.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
