SILENT PRAYERS

We are keeping tab of Philippine 2010 elections as if it were the race of the century over here. We are all on edge because gma who is supposed to retire from politics already after having been granted to sit rather unwantedly in Malacanang is trying to make a come-back through the house of reps. This is really the biggest joke of all humanity. How on earth can a woman, supposedly nurturing, maternal and kind be so power-driven as to twist all institutions, make different kinds of maneuvers and deal with the scams of the earth like the murdering family in Mindanao be so het up about politics? Why this all-consuming passion -- is it the limelight, the money, the power/ What kind of power is it if it were false, and forced upon the people?

I think that gma should start asking herself, what is love of the people of the Philippines. Since it is arts month, the NCCA, the cultural arm, should start giving lectures on how to be a lovable retiring 'president."

Let us not fool ourselves that we will have peace after voting on May 10th. No, we won't because we know that the twisters of the law would have regained power again.

We have poured too much blood already under the gma administration, so many media people have been killed, innocent lives have been sacrificed in order to retain her in power. Let us put a stop to this, and the first to act should be Catholic Church; she had better have one voice -- to repent over their being accomplices in putting up a corrupt administration in the country.

Secondly, let us pray that the military shall stop being tools of power-hungry politicians who would want to use them again to install themselves in power.

SO BE IT.
