The New Martial Law

The essential part here is the question of the modern day "version" of martial law. Many would agree that this government is even worse than the time of Marcos. The fundamental flaw and characteristic here is that GMA's government is cloaking in the ideas and concepts of a working democracy where there is accountability from the government and the cooperation of the people.This leads us to the better question are we better off as a people?

The issue here is whether or not a typical Juan dela cruz is for or against the idea of martial law but the greater concern for real political and economic progress. Why would Filipinos even think about issues when they cannot even have 3 or simply a decent meal for 1 day? Before it was the galunggong for the masses now its just a five peso pack of noodles and the 25 pesos per kg of rice that would be divided amongst the whole family.

We could see families sacrificing their mothers or fathers to work abroad and these parents sacrificing to provide a better future for their children. They are apart, far and alone. Because our government cannot give better alternatives to us.

Are we better off as a people? Do we have a better government? I leave this to you to answer.

There is the need to put people who really are for the masses and Who really are for the people. This is where we could make a change. I still believe in the power of leadership in this country. With someone who could lead. We all would follow.
