I just feel I am struggling for relevant information nowadays. I do not watch television anymore. This hinders me to acquire knowledge of news and current affairs, which were readily available when I was still in UP. F*ck! Here I go again, missing everything in UP…well, specifically being tagged as clued-up.
I hate the fact that I am unable to keep track of de Venecia-Neri-Abalos-ZTE Broadband deal trial on television. I just read the papers, which apparently lack the drama and nonverbal acts (i.e. the ‘exciting’ and ‘entertaining’ parts).
We often regard the Philippine technocrats as dirty, corrupt and dishonest parasites. That is why stereotyping is never good. I agree with Isagani Cruz when he said that some politicians (very few, that is) are truthful, but not just brave enough (evidently referring to former NEDA Sec. Romulo Neri). The executive privilege Neri was posing was perceptibly not for his own welfare, but to cover up the puppet, fascist and self-centered leader of the Philippine government. Hay!
Being workaholic is never an excuse to be ignorant and irrational. We must not settle for anything deficient at hand. Hence, we have to seek for the whole picture and build prudent viewpoints out of it. Not only we test our critical thinking ability, but we also project that we are not apathetic Filipinos.
