At Least Noynoy Aquino Tackled Corruption

I’ve never been a fan of politics because I think that politicians are full of crap. What little good they are capable of is overshadowed by their deceit and relentless pursuit of power and domination, fueled by their greed and pig headedness. They’re nothing but educated (this is not even true in all cases) bullies in a playground of coercion. If ever they do accomplish something great, like a nice sidewalk for a community for example, they ruin the genuineness and reveal their ulterior motives by plastering their names across the pavement in bold letters that practically cover the entire thing.

Disgusting—they’re all disgusting.

If there’s one thing I learned about Philippine politics, it’s that no matter how good a politician was before he entered that world of corruption, if he wants to survive the government and its creatures, he has no other choice but to become evil himself.

The presidential candidates of 2010 are all questionable, without a doubt. Although some fanatical people do firmly insist that Noynoy Aquino will be able to turn the government around with his integrity and desire for good governance. That idea does seem tempting enough because God knows how sick and tired I am of the government, but then I think of the Hacienda Luisita massacre. Didn’t he defend that atrocity of an event because it was necessary?

Call me irresponsible, but this is the very reason why I do not vote. Why do we have to reduce ourselves into choosing the lesser of two evils? I’d rather not choose if that’s the case. For 2010, the presidential candidates range from brilliantly evil, to evilly absurd. I guess the one who does stand out at the moment is Nonoy Aquino, but only because his platforms were the only ones that focus on anti-corruption. I think that for the past elections, none of the candidates tackled that because it’s kind of taboo. It’s like an understanding amongst themselves, like, ‘hey, you’re corrupt, I’m corrupt, let’s not talk about it.’



If I were to choose a candidate right now, it would be Aquino. But until he answers all these questions concerning the massacre in Hacienda Luisita, then he shall be on probation.

Here is a little something about the Father of Noynoy
