How much longer shall we bear the arrogant posture of PGMA & her administrative and legislative cohorts before we say: "Enough with fooling the people; enough with insulting our intelligence; enough with your corrupt ways."
How much longer shall we pray and reflect before we see the light that God performs miracles through the peoples' heart, minds, legs and arms. Right, the Spirit of the Lord blows but we have to lend ourselves to give the inspiration, its concrete shape and form. We have to stop wishing thatlightning strike Malacañang or a deluge sweep the palace into the filthy Pasig river. Prayer without action is an empty lamentation. Even the contemplative nuns and monks tender their garden and raise their poultry. They don't just pray and wait for the manna to shower them from heaven.
Under PGMA the nation is governed under an era of lust for money and power.Her reign is characterized by widespread poverty, breakdown of peace and order, violation of basic human rights-- extrajudicial killings, repression of rights of peaceful assembly, violent demolitions of shanties and vendors' stalls, oppressed farmers and workers. Do we deserve all these?
I believe that God is waiting for us, His/Her beloved people, to forge the miracle of reform through a concerted action and a unified front. I remember reading in the Bible that Love and Unity are the marks of a true Christian. We are all believers in Christ. Why are we disunited in working for a government run with righteousness? Why is CBCP, as a body, speaking unanimously but member bishops are acting ifferently? Who's driving the wedge into the hearts of believers that they may be divided and be easily subjugated by the rule of evil.?
When shall we, as one people seize the constitutional avenue of a snap election... and try again? Nothing can be worse than what we presently have anyway!
Otherwise, we might just prove, we deserve the leader we get, indeed!

I wouldn't say we deserve our president. no one does. it's like saying we deserve to breathe cynide gas.
but when stuck with poison like her, it's mandatory to bring out the gas mask. otherwise, if we die, it's our fault
did it occur to you that our nation had been led mostly by liars, thieves and cheats? I hate to make an inductive assumption- but is this generally a nation that produces nothing but avaricious despots?
