26 Days Before Christmas
There are about 8 million OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) and 4,775 of them are in jail which means report said, that in every continent except Antarctica, in every climatic zone, you can find a Filipino behind bars.
Here in the home islands, the Palace cannot even decide on the proposed 2006 budget that supposed to spearhead priority programs on health, education and social services.
No wage hike. Too little budget for health care.
And we are hosting the 2005 SEA Games?!
No wonder I can’t feel the spirit of Christmas however hard I try to convince myself that its true spirit is felt in the heart.
To the Filipinos here and abroad: Let us (each of us) help ourselves. This government (country) is acutely sick.
I hope it dies a natural death, whatever that means.
