The country is being heated up by various issues: from the sex videos of a medical doctor and his victims, to the merger of two political parties, the bidding for the machines that will automate the 2010 elections, and then the revelations of corruption - with Jun Lozada being freed from the suit filed against him by Mike Defensor who had charged him with perjury, and now the Navy woman who squealed on the squandering of the funds for the Philippine-US Balikatan exercises.
The pressures to read, analyze and listen to the various issues seem to be getting harder and harder. What future holds for us in this country? Are we going to have an extension of a corrupt era or eras or are we going to carve a new future for ourselves, our children and the coming generations?
One solution is for us to strengthen the voices in the third force movement -- those clamoring for Good Governance, Righteous Governance. We need to raise the standards for the qualifications of people who will hold or continue to hold the various positions in the government.
This can be done if we ourselves police our ranks, pray and insure that everyone is involved in the issues and are willing to sacrifice a bit of their personal lives to attend to the details of running a movement.
