Parties and Floods

Due to the recent events in the Philippines, people have again been flooding to help out the disaster stricken Cagayan de Oro. It's a good thing to help people who have been affected by the flood, yes, but do we always need a disaster for us to take action and be motivated to do something.?

We have had Ondoys, Pedrings and now Sendong, but we still haven't learned anything valuable from these disasters. It is always act after the disaster. It is never do something to make sure no disaster will happen. Our leaders attend parties instead of doing something, instead of attending to their country's needs. They say that the party is important to build connections and so and so. But at the expense of so many lives.What happened to the action that our leaders promised us they will do to help the country? Has it all gone to funds for their clothes and trips abroad?

The Philippines is a country full of natural wonder I marvel at, but it is slowly disappearing, thanks to illegal mining, hunting and depletion of various fauna and flora that can be found no where else in the world. Are all these becoming the trade-off to a "better future" that government is aiming for.? If so will this so called future be nothing more but gray and metal?

Nothing is being done to stop the crimes that nature is going through. The only action that our leaders and government have taken are to save themselves and make sure their seats are only filled by their power hungry and money driven butts. The Ampatuan Massacre which has seen so many court trials, has not yet been solved. The fight to save Palawan's natural beauty and to preserve it against illegal mining is still on going, heck the battle against illegal mining has been going for years and nothing has been done. The RH Bill has been discussed over and over, and still hasn't been approved. Must we wait until every nook and cranny of our country is occupied for it to get passed.?


We want to save so much of our country's resources and natural wonders, but have we even done enough to secure a small percentage of it is safe from disappearing completely.? Until the time the floods we will experience are floods of expensive wine, we all have to brace ourselves for another disaster, because our country's leaders will have a good time drinking to their heart's content.
