The
internet we flooded with different posts about how the government of the Philippines
has done nothing to make our country better. Colorful words were thrown back
and forth and the mass hold a rally every now and then. Most of the news
circulated about how different party-list members or an independent politicians
trying to shackle the government with them.
Two
thousand and fifteen, the Philippines is nearing its presidential election and
different foul actions of politicians float. One of those was how the Makati
City Hall costs more than it should have.
Filipinos, according to research
are one of the most emotional people in the world. They can be easily swayed
into your belief if you used enough good words, a very catchy theme-song, a
compilation of all of your projects and an unusual slogan. Sometimes, it’s not
good for the reputation of the government anymore. When single news got aired
with a single interviewee claiming that the government was not doing anything,
well, it will trigger the domino.
With just one interviewee, half of
the people believing in the current administration will have doubts, while the
supporters of the opposition will rejoice, because it is actually good news,
for them. What others failed to realize was that, they will open their mouth
and they will blab complaints, not because they know about it first-hand but
because they saw it on TV. The rallies who were spewing nonsense at the back do
not actually know what they are doing. They will hold placards saying that the
government is not about helping the decline when it comes to the number of
employment and an increased in unemployment when in fact, they are there, in
the rally, holding placards instead of searching for jobs.
They want to be spoon feed.
In the constitution of the
Philippines, it is declared under Article XII (National Economy and Patrimony)
where patrimony was claimed to talk about “qualified Filipinos.” In this case,
this section of the constitution was bended a long time ago because our nation
wants everyone to have a job. However, not all of them are qualified or
competent enough for the job. Some of them have backer and that’s what matter,
for them to have a job. The thing is, if ever or if it seems fictitious, the
increase in employment rate doesn’t really matter, yes it’ll help our citizens
get over a day with food in their tummy, and it’ll do us good, individually. However,
lots of numbers of employed incompetent Filipinos will not do us good, as a
whole or as a nation. It will lower our productivity rate and if it is too
much, our nation will be branded us as one of the countries whose citizens are
not that good, in the end, investors will eventually get lesser and businesses
resulting to job will eventually vanish. We do not want that.
Let’s try mastering what we think
we are good at first before we go for a job and also, let’s all love our job.
Our government is doing what they can, it’s just that, we are too vast and the
populations are too big, so we should stop complaining when we don’t get what
we want. Remember, there are those who are in need more than you and we should
really stop our crab mentality.
