ERAP in lalalalalala Land

The whole speech of ERAP today just gives us a glimpse of how fractured our society is at present and how politicians would manipulate this to their end. He chose an audience that would obviously accept any concocted dream that his speech writers created. He belied everything and so believed himself during his delivery that he actually forgot the truth! When he was delivering his obviously dream speech, he forgot about his friend and confidant, Governor Singson who turned against him and caused his downfall. His acting prowess obviously leapt out in his tirade of lies and dreams and once again projected the actor that he is and will always be.

It’s all the same shady characters and washed out politicians like Maceda standing behind this drunkard despot justifying the decision as against the document ERAP signed as a condition for his pardon. Even Jejomar Binay who is searching for political relevance in 2010 was all smiles given that he already assured some votes around Laguna where most of the squatters of Makati where transferred ahead of the 2010 elections. Take note, most of them still choose to vote in Makati even though they are no longer bonafide residents thanks to the PNR and Bayani Fernando.

The Cabal that came to Tondo today is no one else’ fault but GMA’s and her lack of political will. Had she not pardoned this criminal, he would still be where he should be – jail!

ERAP is not the problem here. Our problem as a people is our lack of memory and how easily we are duped. It is our penchant for forgiving and forgetting. It is the large gap between the have’s and those who don’t. Our problem is our society and the norms we live by. How to change it remains in our hands.

ERAP is free to dream. He is even freer to aspire for any position. The decision remains with the Filipino on whether they would help ERAP achieve his or achieve their own dream for change in our nation.

ERAP was in Lala land today! Are you? You decide.
