If there’s ever a cultural phenomenon that has pervaded Philippine society in all its layers and dimensions, it is “consumerism”. It has conquered and enslaved the Filipino psyche like some kind of addiction. It constitutes a large share of the Filipino culture.
A woman carrying a gun and passing through Gate 2 walked into the grounds of Malakanyang Palace. According to the news report, the woman didn’t say she intends to shoot President Noynoy Aquino. But didn’t mince words in saying , “Why has the people’s miserable plight gone to this extent?”
It’s amusing to hear President Noynoy Aquino lament what he perceives as “very early campaigning activities” by some politicians. His twit extends to the tune of an exhortation—good if it includes his colleagues in the Liberal Party! —that instead of politicking this early they should focus their attention on the many problems faced by the nation.
Jovito Palparan is a classic model of such criminal with a grave mental sickness. His psychological affliction seeps deep into the dark recesses of his soul. His is a brand of sadism at its utmost, at its beastly diabolic worst.
Yes indeed, President Noynoy Aquino, by his own body language and pronouncements, has revealed the true dyed-in-the-wool trapo that he is. From a deceitful stance of a reformist leader as an elected state official, he has fast transformed into a political werewolf — power-thirsty! — no different from his predecessor whom he has frequently made a convenient scapegoat for all his kapalpakan.
