Election 2010 abuse

Election 2010 is hovering in the air of the Philippines. You are now seeing several personalities coming out of print, TV and radio media telling you whatever they feel is relevant to the situation right now. some of them come in a form of informational campaign for a cause, some would appear to give reports of their office's accomplishments, some would just appear there to gain publicity.

There is one Senator who uses the detergent powder ads to say her piece about saving water. There is another Senator who rides on a pedaled tricycle to to promote his advocacy of alleviating the poors' plight. One mayor is reporting how his City was doing during his term, which even if without him the city will still prosper because it is where the heart of Philippine business is. One senator also had the opportunity to show off his capability of risking himself in negotiating for the release of kidnapped victims which in the end never did anything at all. There is one senator who claims to have brought home several ofw in distress from abroad.

We are still seeing the same bunch of crap rhetorics from all these politicians. The Filipinos don't need that one anymore. We have had enough of that for decades. What we need is immediate action, a concrete plan of action and a doable goal.

These politicians are a banking on the poor because it is them who takes up majority of the population. They are banking on them but they are not helping them at all. Many elections have passed and all these same tactics have been performed of which the same gullible people believed in, and the same people whose lives have not improved.

Looking back into history, our nation has always been a victim of abuse. The abuse that we cant tolerate is the abuse done by our fellow Filipino. The manipulative indoctrination these politicians do to our small people on media just to secure their votes on election 2010 without giving value to the trust bestowed on them, is an abuse to the highest degree. They stand in their campaign as pro poor but eventually turns to be pro money when they get elected, that is abuse. They declare that they will work for the poor when they get elected when in fact they “poor” the poor even more by their corruption after election 2010, that is abuse.

There was one candidate in the past who advocated that there will be no demolition of illegal shanties when he is elected. Illegal shanties are small informal houses erected illegally on lands they don't own. This is commonly known as squatting. The approach he had was an obvious manipulation of the poor. Making the poor believe that it is alright to go on practicing what is socially inappropriate. He has even aggravated the poor's condition because they have never tried to improve themselves thinking that there is still a chance for them to a find a defender no matter how illegal their act are. Some have even made a career out of illegal squatting whereby they invoke a litany of human rights violation should they be extracted out from their illegally dwelling.

Other political abuse is common in advocating for the workers right. These politicians would always appear to be heroes for these helpless workers whenever there are rallies and mass actions against unjust corporate practices. This political abuse would appear to advance workers rights and privileges but they are on the contrary in reality. They rally behind these workers and pretends to be on their side and yet vanishes instantly a soon as they are proclaimed to the post they aspire for. Political abuse happens every time whenever there is an opportunity to capture attention of the masses and show off. When there are calls for fare increase, salary increase, and many other calls for human lives improvement, politicians come, politicians will see but they will never conquer.

When shall we see a politician who will really stand for the cause of the people in election 2010? We call for a leader who will have the courage to sacrifice a little of themselves, a little of their wealth aspirations, a little of their wealthy friends approval, a little of the common masses approval, for the common good. Is there any trustworthy individual who will not abuse our people any longer with traditional political abuse , but rather look forward to seeing the Philippines progress commencing after election 2010?
