The Agony , that is Gloria


Today, her exKILLINGcy Gloria Macapal Arroyo, for the 8th time, reports on the redundancies there is to wit in this nation state. The ever grandiose and exclusive celebration of personal eulogy and conceit expedite the unassuming pain and slap of insults of Filipinos, who consistently bear the brunt of lingering poverty and hopelessness in our land. Pulse Asia survey is proof to this rigged annual tour de force by which the fellows of high society and powerful classes and clans unite as one under the roof of the 200 million worth newly-renovated Batasang Pambansa.

For the past several years, this occasion is more than just a mandate by law but supposedly a celebration of good governance, of service, and trust and faith in a duly mandated leadership. But under the regime of GMA, this has transformed into a feast of lies, deceit, and pretensions. For the past several weeks, GMA's propaganda people are working heaven and earth to condition people's mind of the relief brought about by the short-term and one-time subsidies dubbed as katas ng E-VAT. But overnight, hunger and desperation persists among ordinary households. This is blatant deceit and insult to ordinary Filipinos and tax payers like me.
The one time 500 peso electric and rice subsidies do not only induce short term relief , but more so, affirm the demands of people. Their valid redress of real and long terms aids is what keeps them busy in the streets.
