BE A BULATLAT PATRON

Huwag hayaan ang “crocodile tears” ng mga nasa kapangyarihan. Dahil napaluha siya, makabagbag-damdamin para sa unang ginang ang ikalimang State of the Nation Address (SONA) ng pangulo noong Hulyo 27. Kung sabagay, nakakaiyak naman talaga dahil marami siyang hindi sinabi. Kumusta ang panawagang taasan ang sahod ng mga manggagawa? Ano ang tindig ng pangulo tungkol sa tunay na repormang agraryo para sa mga magsasaka, pati na sa pagkilala sa lupang ninuno ng mga katutubo?

Nagkaroon lang ng tsapa, akala’y kung sino na. Kung makapagsalita, mistulang diyos-diyosan sa kalsada. Nagkaroon lang ng tsapa, akala’y kung sino na. Kung makapagsalita, mistulang diyos-diyosan sa kalsada. Nagpapatupad lang daw ng batas pero wagas kung makapanglait. Walang kinikilingan pero anakpawis ang kadalasang napag-iinitan. Walang personalan, trabaho lang. Sino ba ang naniniwalang patas ang panghuhuli sa mga kalsada sa Metro Manila?

Tanggapin ang anumang imbitasyon para sa sama-samang pagkilos. Isapuso ang mga awit at dasal para sa tunay na pagbabago. Mula kinder hanggang high school, nag-aral sa isang Katolikong paaralan. Kahit na kumuha ng Batsilyer sa isang public school na non-sectarian, nag-Master’s naman sa isang Katolikong unibersidad. At sa kabila ng doktoral na pag-aaral sa ibang bansa, nananatili pa rin ang Katolikong perspektiba kahit paano. Opo, Katoliko. Hindi ikinakaila kahit na hindi ipinagsisigawan.
