I just opened the television before 5pm and there it was, almost the closing statements of GMA, president of my beloved Philippines. Funny but during that, the heavy rains predicted by PAG-ASA fell down? An applause? Really, I am not kidding! Well, there is a supposed typhoon but the rains and winds are sort of intermittent.
Food sufficiency, self-reliant, less energy dependence. Commercial rice at P32/kilo! Those were few of the pointers that I could remember. I was just talking with my sister over the phone yesterday and she said that the rice they are eating is P44/kilo. That is when you would like to have a more decent meal, right? I have nothing against NFA rice but our tongue palates deserve more than that, I guess.
Madame Arroyo also mentioned about government rulers and watchers at the power losses?
So the Batasan area, my route going home is jam packed with protesters right now. There is a counter flow being implemented at the south lane and so far they said that the traffic is manageable. Good thing, I do not have to go to the office today.
Hmn…while writing this, I heard/watched Pilipinas Kong Mahal song played on TV. I was touched and literally had goose bumps. I am not that patriotic but I love my country. Well, it turned out that what was shown is an AD of Department of Energy and Natural Resources.
Here are the lyrics of that song:
Pilipinas Kong Mahal
(My Beloved Philippines)
Pilipinas kong mahal
Ang puso ko at buhay man
Sa iyo’y ibibigay
Tungkulin ko’y gagampanan
Na laging kang paglingkuran
Ang laya mo’y babantayan
Pilipinas kong hirang
I pray for a more progressive Philippines!
