Ano na ngayon, aber?

In times such as these I love to talk to all the people who’ve told me that our current system of “democracy” is the best we could ever hope for.

            I would love to talk to former Comelec chair Christian Monsod who said that our electoral democracy is a success story and something that we must defend with our lives.

            I would love to talk to his wife, professor Winnie Monsod who never tires in lecturing that our open economy is most beneficial to the people.

            I would love to talk to Ricky Carandang who once challenged me that unless I vote for someone that I am not really doing my part for democracy.  (Well, Ricky was just making salsal the discussion to make his program more interesting.  That guesting was fun!)

            I would love to talk to Alex Magno who writes tirelessly that gloria is the best president in all of the universe.

            I would love to talk to Belinda Cunanan who apparently believes there is no better calling in life than to defend the regime.

             I would love to talk to Ramon Jacinto, Carmen Ignacio and the other nincompoops in that network who espouse the same filth that comes from Magno’s pen.

            I would love to talk to former comrades like Poe Gratela (idol ko to dati e) and ask them how could they stomach staying in government.

            I would love to talk to all those who heckled us activists who belittled us from the start.

            I would love to ask them all, NASAAN NA ANG BANSA NATIN NGAYON?  NASAAN NA KAYO NGAYON? ANDIYAN PA BA KAYO?
