Now the SONA is finished and our eyes will be glued again as to what will happen next till May 2010. It does not really matter anymore whether she will come down or not. The wrath of the people over the SONA is very explicit not only in the papers but also over the radio. It is only the TV news that manages to stay "objective" in its reportings, shunning outright lambasting of a quasi presidency.
My dear Kababayan, I would say that I would not be scared at all whatever happens after May 2010, after the elections. The people are ready for any eventuality. Given the penchant of the people for many things red, every Sunday, the blood of Christ they drink with the hostia, 'sa pula sa puti" tupada at the cockpits, the raw fish they eat ala-shasimi, the great anticipation -- with traffic so nil, you can even go skating through all of MetroManila without any danger of being ran over - during the fights of Pacquiao, my dear people, we are up against a raging political storm.
The economic statistics are not enough: the people want food on their tables, cheap goods and services, first class, not ukay-ukay nor second-hand goods.
Let us not delude ourselves that power transitions shall be peaceful.
Instead, let us prepare for whatever will come our way, our reactions must be solid, and ...
pray, pray that God will be with us. ALWAYS.
Amen
