Promises For Raggedy Ann

One, two, maybe three elections ago, I was happy to see a bunch of new faces entering our country’s political scene.

Promising individuals who seek the help of the younger generation, the Generations X, Y, and Z, to support their respective platforms of change in the government.

This new breed promised to give us a newer, better and perhaps radical take on the country’s political situation.

To freshen up the already rotten government leadership.


Fast forward to today.


May nagbago ba sa sistema ng pultika sa ating bansa?

Nasaan na yung mga pangakong pagbabago?

Another promise that got broken na naman ba ito?

Or, a much better question, where were those who made that promise?



Well, eto na sila ngayon.



Mar Roxas



Chiz Escudero



Adel Tamano



Miguel Zubiri



What happened?

Tito Mar, you said you were different. I liked you when you were in DTI. You remind me of Miriam when she was in her early years in politics. But then you decided to make padyak in your early campaign for the presidency, and that PI moment you did deserve a Razzie. You’re not so different from the usual trapos we see decades ago.

Kuya Chiz, you speak Tagalog so eloquently that I am so mesmerized and hypnotized by it. When you spoke in front of us I even shed a tear, sabi ko, “this is it, may boses na ang kabataan”. But now, all you are saying in front of the media is nothing but flowers in the midday. I still am waiting for your promises to be made into a reality.

Sir Adel, when you spoke in behalf of the Genuine Opposition I thought, you were far better than those you were campaigning. In fact, I even commented that you could be our next president. The very first from Mindanao. But what happened? Naging busy ka na defending Vicki Belo. Perhaps, "business as usual?"
So disappointing.

Migs, gorgeous Migs. Your Spice Boys days were your best. Talk about radical huh. You and the gang really shook the House of Representatives. You are both feared and admired by your colleagues. But that was before, now you turned out to be something else. Something non-living. Someone in the palace’s puppet.



Well, to the four of you, there’s still hope you know. May time pa. Roughly 10 months ‘til the next casting of ballots.



That is, kung meron mang eleksyon na magaganap.

I dunno, parang di na sila tatayo at gagalaw pa kung naka-upo na. Ang purpose na lang nila ay maghanap ng mas mataas at magandang upuan.... At ang ultimate goal: ang throne ng bwisit na Reyna.
