Imagine those floods higher than one’s roof. Everything submerged under water. I was there on those difficult rescue missions. The cold, the dread of leptospirosis, malaria, cholera, amoebiasis or whatever disease you can conjure up that was supposed to come from being in the dirty flood water. After the floods receded, my patrol team passed by an empty poor man’s devastated little nipa hut. From the hut hang an old tattered pair of dirty underwear clinging hopelessly to a plastic cord. The country right now is no better than that ravaged little nipa hut.
We have a leadership that keeps insisting it is right in washing its dirty linen in public with absolutely no shame. A young would be poet wrote, “the Hand of God is unseeable; it is not fit to be seen by the untrained eye. But it put a forlorn woman with neck braces and a serious illness under arrest. And it brought to life a boy with mental illness and that insane kid became the President. OMG that Hand of God!”
Today the Philippine Airlines is not flying its passengers. In September it cancelled all flights, local and international. The workers say they have had it and enough is enough, they paralyzed the airline by going on a work-stoppage strike and even imprisoning passengers inside immobilized aircraft.
Not to allow the public to get their ride is bad enough, but the workers had to illegally detain some of them inside the planes. That is really too gross for me. Then at the end of October they put up a camp at the PAL kitchen and kept barring the airline’s catering trucks from traveling.
They stopped flights, imprisoned passengers inside the PAL jets, now they want the passengers not to eat. Next they might start poisoning the riders or placing bombs in the aircrafts. Now they’re complaining that the companies to which PAL outsources its operations are illegal. Hmmph!!! Dirty underwear flagging.
Again I am amazed at how these people operate. Their union bosses tell the public that it is okay to persecute one person, such a former president, at least that woman in neck braces is not 99% of the Filipino people. Are we really such hopeless idiots to be fed that kind of drivel? Or are the union bosses trying to make deals with the people walking in the corridors of power so they’ll get a good bargain with the owners of PAL? Huh!
A nation that hangs dirty panties and carsones out in the open, the leaders blaming everyone else for their inadequacies and brainlessness, including simple you and me, is truly on the verge of a massive heart attack, loss of feeling or sensation and subsequent deterioration into madness then collapse.
Even foreigners now are talking of the Bonifacio Spring. You wonder how much longer it will take before the earthshaking events wake us all from slumber.
