Philippine Independence Day.... Not Worth of Remembering

Long time ago, Philippines was colonize by the Spaniards. But before that Datu Lapu-lapu from Mindanao prevent the first invasion and able to kill Ferdinand Magallanes in the battle of Mactan. After that Filipinos tried to escape from the cruel hands of the Spaniards for 300 years, many Filipinos used their skills and wits to claim independence but failed then revolution aroused after the martyrdom of Dr. Jose Rizal in 1896 at Bagumbayan. And in 1898 Katipunero's fearlessly to claim independence who's lead by Andres Bonifacio but to their dismay when they learned that Philippines was sold to America during the Treaty of Paris. General Emilio Aguinaldo declared the first Philippine Independence day. But some Katipunero's are not convinced and fought Americans whom they thought as another conqueror. But they treated much better than Spaniards. Issues arouse, a lot of controversy happened when President Emilio Aguinaldo ordered to kill Andres Bonifacio and other fugitives who's against American. The real intention of Americans to the Philippines was uncertain thats why guerrillas keep on fighting. Now ordinary Filipino asked, are we truly independent? If Americans are conquerors, why they educate us and we learned how to govern? Their intentions are really suspicious, most of them are racist and arrogant. Philippines seemed already taste freedom but ordinary people didn't feel it, because no one taught them how to appreciate the country. In World War II Japanese Empire conquered us, they devastate our nation, killing many innocent infants, raping our women and made them sex slaves, and hunt every people to become slaves and shooting pawns. But where's the Philippine President? Oh! They manage to escape and flown to America to hid themselves, saving their lives for future interest. How did they do that? Answer: How did they do that? They're rich ofcourse and aside from that they have houses in America. US government support their shelter, wow I envy them politicians are really bigtime. They didn't do anything during the occupation of the Japanese Empire maniacs, It took 3 years to rescue Philippines through the help of the stubborn General Douglas Mac Arthur. Look 3 years of suffering and politicians are out there doin' nothing. Then Japanese lost the war, they punished General Yamashita who hid all Philippine golden treasures under the ground and other Japanese Emperial officers, but they never give justice to those people who were killed, those new born baby boys that killed with they knives, those comfort women whom they took pleasure. Where's our dignity now? Aftermath does ordinary Filipinos appreciate Independence day? Answer: No! Why? Because we lost our dignity, our pride to become one good person. Go to countries where Filipina are working, what foreigner think of Filipina woman? They are whores, gold diggers and opportunist. It worst than to be called indio by Spaniards. How's the comfort women? Answer: Oh, some of them are already dead, despised by their own family and still seeking justice. And the sad thing is the lazy Philippine government didn't do anything to help these people or to represent them to voice out their concern to Japan or UN. In my opinion it will not ruin the relationship of these 2 countries. But GIVE THEM JUSTICE!!

Now the Philippine politicians know how to govern but there is political system that control the country, in which all class A society get richer, Politicians maintain their office and earn money. Either administration or opposition politicians are members. America is also has a mouth in this system, if they don't like the politician or a treat to their agenda they can easily eliminate and destroy that politician. This political system doesn't care about its people but only Class A society and politicians are qualified to improve their lives. That's why majority of Filipinos are slum in our own land and most of our land are owned by class A people, Foreign Businessmen mostly Chinese and Politicians. Philippines rich people and politicians are the people who can appreciate and celebrate Independence Day. While ordinary people are don't. They are greed to share it specially those Filipinos who lives in provinces.

Under President Ferdinand Marcos, Philippines was in pedestal. He put Philippines on the map of the world. He was able to satisfy many ordinary Filipinos especially those who lives in the provinces. But some of his officers, class A people and his enemies planned to put him down and made him a dictator. 1972 Marcos put Philippines into Martial Law to seek peace and stabilize his position. But his officers backfight him and sacrifice his number one critic Benigno Aquino Sr. in a tragic ambush event were he was killed by his escort who's a hitman. That incident trigger the1984 EDZA peoples power revolution, Class A Society and Influential people convince people in Manila to participate and enthroned Marcos. Marcos exiled and died. Then Cory Aquino became the first Lady President, because she have no background to politics. Influential people, and politician grab this opportunity tho gain power. Philippines was under the loose government, where corruption went high, the value of Philippine peso went high. Rich people became more richer and poor people became poorer. And they said it was freedom. But does all Filipinos feel this freedom? My answer is No! People in the government became corrupt when Fidel Ramos took seat, from the national level to community level and that's not all, even in our judiciary level. You need to have a lot of money to win your case or else they will put you into jail. Even lawyer whom you think can defend you is a money leecher. Philippines is not a safe place for foreigners, rich people and those people who knows the trash of the government. Policemen, in the Philippines are not the knight and shining armor that they supposed to be. They became human crocodiles who are greed for power and money. They even involved in underground job and activities such as drugs, prostitution's, gambling, smuggling, pirating, and the most worst of all most of them are professional squatter operators. Philippine Soldiers are womanizers, robbers and professional gangsters. Class A society became devil advocates, who seemed to protect their interest. They can throw away politicians that they think are not qualified for their taste, like what happen to Erap Estrada. Philippine Politics became a telenovela were in no heroes just villains and victims. It's like a theater play,

So why we value and appreciate our own independence day? Students now a days already make fun of the national anthem. And majority of our people want to go abroad and never go back because Filipinos is a shameful race. Nationalism? They will call you communist, Majority of the Filipinos lost their sense of pride, and honor to this country. Who do you want to blame? Politicians? Answer: Yes, and those who manipulate and influencing the fate of these people. They are leaders who lead us to misery and destruction. And because of what happen it became a culture, Filipinos now are corrupt, opportunist and tyrants including myself Personally I pitty being a Filipino, but I still wish for changes that make ever Filipino proud of their nationality.
