Cat-and-Mouse Game of Politics (updated)

Latest News:


Philippine Politics is like a cat-and-mouse game. They said that the "Cory Magic" was buried to the ground when President Cory Aquino died. They said, the Yellow Magic no longer exists but in contrary, the game is not yet over.

The cat is unable to secure a decisive victory over the mouse, who despite not being able to defeat the cat, is able to avoid capture.


Today, the Duterte administration is the cat and Vice President Leni Robredo's group is the mouse. Because of the present trust rating enjoyed by President Duterte, no way Vice President Leni's group can defeat the President.


But the mouse can outsmart the arrogant cat. It is the bad habit of the cat that after the capture of his prey, he release it knowing that the prey is weak enough and cannot do any harm to him.


If the President and his men are not careful enough, one day, they will wake up in the shoes of the mouse being chase by the cat. A change of fate can happen at any given time. 


Take for instance the statement of PNP Chief Bato Dela Rosa calling the critics of War against Drug ingrates. It is ungentlemanly behavior coming from the top ranking police officer whose main job is to serve and protect the Filipino people.


Here comes the Solicitor General  Jose Calida, who vowed that the government would not allow any individual or groups to overthrow the administration of President Duterte. Before they succeed, they will be crippled already even before they could carry out their plans. 



What is happening in our country today?  it is very unfortunate for us to have  these kind of leaders. Pronouncements or statements like these will be a minus point for the administration and a change of heart of their supporters.


As early as this, the administration is campaigning for 12-0 in the senate slates come 2019 local and national election. I believe, it will not likely to happen.

The Blooded Shoes Cries Again (updated)

Last December 5, 2011, I wrote an article on Gensan Bombing that killed 14 innocent people and injuring around 64 people. The blooded shoes of the innocent victims cried for justice. Just recently, America mourns for the victims of Mass Shooting incident in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injuring around 489 people. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in the United States. According to the Section of Washington Post : The Math of Mass Shooting, the death toll change, the places change and the faces in the memorial photos change every time, but the weapons are the common denominator. Mass Killings in the United States are most often carried out with guns, usually handguns, and most of them obtained legally. Although the Mass Shooting in Las Vegas was perpetrated by one man for unknown reason and was not linked with terrorists, but still the blooded shoes escalated in the crime scene cried for justice. Weapons of mass destruction like high caliber...
