Prevailing trends during Arroyo's 9 years in office (Prof. Simbulan)

  1. The military has become an institution for the preservation of personal power by the president.
  2. Corruption at the highest levels of power has even become more entrenched, with the head of state and political allies governing by negative example.
  3. Manipulation and undermining of Philippine political and economic institutions in the quest for maintaining power.
  4. Extrajudicial killings, disappearances, abductions and other crimes against the people have been perpetrated by minions of the state against critics and the democratic opposition, and sadly, it continues with impunity.
  5. Foreign policy has been plunged into the abyss for getting international support to an unpopular regime.

    (Lifted from Prof. Roland G. Simbulan's presentation entitled     GOLLUM IS HERE! Keeping Power at the Expense of the People and our Institutions)

Nakakapanghinayang


"Sa isang programang panggabi, ipinakita ang
karaniwang pag-aakala ng ilang kabataan na
ang pagiging "in", "cool" at "independent" ay
maipamamalas sa pamamagitan ng paglalasing,
paninigarilyo at pag-uwi ng alanganing
oras mula sa gimik kasama ang barkada.
Makitid at maling konsepto ito ng tapang, tibay at pagsasarili.
Sa katunayan, dito nagsisimula ang pagkasira ng
kanilang kinabukasan. Ang mas kalunos-lunos ay may
maiimpluwensyahan pa silang iba."

Yesism


"Yesism is the inability to tell anyone no.
Extremely nice people often suffer from this condition
because they don't like to disappoint others for
they fear being rejected even if saying yes ends up costing them."

"Sale sa X, punta tayo."

"Aminin mo man o hindi, marami kang binibiling
basura sa literal o piguratibo mang pagpapakahulugan.
Hindi pa naluluma ay basura nang maituturing
dahil wala naman talagang pakinabang.
Ebidensya: tingnan mo ang tambak nito sa kwarto/bahay mo.
Bukod sa kumakain ito ng limitado na ngang espasyo,
minsa'y mapanganib pa - nakalalason,
takaw-sunog (fire hazard) , at nakasasakit.
Lahat ng ito sa kabila ng kakarampot namang kinikita."

Bwisita?


Ang Aming Bisita
ni KBM Atienza
NSTP 1


Mayroon kaming isang bisita
Mr. Smith ang tawag naming lahat sa kanya
Isang sundalo sa aming bayan
Pamilya nami'y tinuturing n'yang 'kaibigan'.


Alala ko pa no'ng una s'yang nakilala
Siguro'y mayroon nang isang dekada
Nagtanong kung p'wedeng makituloy sa 'ming bahay
Pumayag si ama kahit ayaw ni nanay.

Ayos na ang kontrata, kulang na lang ay pirma
Hindi nagustuhan ni nanay ang mga nabasa
Ngunit sabi ni itay, makatutulong ito
Sundalo s'ya, mababantayan n'ya tayo

Paglubog ng araw, kami'y naghapunan
No'n lang namin ginamit, mga bagong pinggan
Saka ko pinaliwanag sa kanya, mga patakaran
Sa ilalim ng namana naming tahanan"

Pag pasok at paglabas ng bahay,
Kailangan lagi'y alam 'yon ni nanay
At ang mga alagang pusa at halaman,
Huwag na huwag nating pababayaan.

"Matapos noo'y tinawanan n'ya ako
Binulungan s'ya ni itay, pero narinig ko
"Balewalain mo na lang ang mga nabanggit
Para lang 'yon sa mga batang maliliit."

Sampung taon na ang nakaraan
Ang dami nang nangyari sa aming tahanan
Sampung taon na ang nakaraan
Nawala na sa tahanan namin ang kapayapaan

Sampung taon na ang nakaraan
Namatay nang lahat ang aming halaman
Wala na rin alaga kong si Muning
Aksidenteng nabaril ni Mr. Smith noong treyning

Sampung taon na ang nakaraan
Ate ko'y hindi na makalabas ng tahanan
Nagtatago s'ya dahil sa hiya
Nawala ang puri dahil ng bisitang walang-awa

Sampung taon na ang nakaraan
Sinasabi niyang kami pa rin daw ay magkaibigan
Kami ay kanyang inabuso
Kaibigan pa ba ang tawag mo dito?

Sampung taon na ang nakaraan
Sa tingin ko'y sapat na ang panahong iyan
Itama ang maling napagkasunduan
Pagkat wala 'tong ibang dulot sa 'tin kundi kahirapan
