Nothing comes cheap anymore...

The prices of commodities are rising like never before and everyone’s left with less money to spare as savings. With the way things are going with my country now, I wonder what 5 years would be like… 10… 15… With this belt-tightening times, will the Filipinos ever survive?

Sure the wealthy can afford but even so everybody can feel the effects of inflation. What could be the cost of all these? Fuel price increase? China’s domination? Government manipulation? Or All of the above? I believe all these have made their impact to the country’s crisis and what can Juan de la Cruz do about it? I must say, we should all depend on ourselves to earn more and not wait for the government to help us out. Come on now, should you still be expecting that?

I find it pathetic that people rally on the streets demanding for wage increase or for “patalsikin si Gloria, or whoever” just because there is a problem. Stop doing the blame game now and start dealing with your problems starting with yourself! I find it pathetic that people are not contented with the government because the president promised to bring food on their table. Come on now! People, if you won’t work you won’t have anything. If you’re lazy, go eat scraps!

At this belt-tightening times, what Filipinos should do is to learn to save their money and resources and work even harder. Instead of pointing fingers, we should hold hands and help one another so we could all survive these trying times. It’s unity that we need and not pointing the gun to who is guilty. All of us are guilty. It’s not just the government’s fault. Heck, you’re the ones who voted for these people anyway. You let them buy your votes so you get what you deserve.

Anyway… Just want to voice out about the Meralco issue right now. All I can say is the government should just keep their mouth shut and leave Meralco alone. If the government takes hold of Meralco, just imagine how much they would end up charging the people. Let’s face it, they’re very manipulative.

Also, about the RCBC killings… It’s pathetic that our police would kill these “suspects” and say that there was a shootout when in fact those poor people didn’t have the chance to defend themselves. Why protect your own people? No robbery gang would have the guts to kill those employees point blank. Only the military and people who know they can get out of the situation CAN!

I hate watching the news. I just get depressed. LOL
