today is independence day here at my beloved country philippines.
im going to get registered this coming monday so i could vote this coming 2010. i cant really say that i trust the current government, but you see i would want to exercise my rights to vote that’s why im going to get registered. in my seventeen years of life, i may be too young to say that i have seen everything, but i could sa that i already saw a lot of flaws in this government. the arroyo administration have been in power for a long time. and i witnessed a lot of faults in it. i am not saying that those that wants to run for power now may give a better life, but what im saying is that, this country needs a new leader and a fresh start.
i really hope that the constitutional assembly that is starting to form will not succeed. because if our government turns into a parliament. the arroyo administration may have another chance for power. and that would mean that our chance for a new start will vanish in thin air.
this days i feel that independence is not something that is freely enjoyed here in our country. fine, we may have our rights and everything, like the government doesnt give a damn on where we use our money and what we do with our lives, but i could also see that there is not much freedom in the press. peole in media cant fully express themselves and that if they say anything that would offend the current government, they may get a lot of lawsuits coming. so i really hope for a new start.
our country needs a little freshening up. it needs a little change. and i beleive that that change must come from the youth today like myself.
