NELSON WROTE: Let’s apply a doctor’s methodology in treating a disease: get a good history of the symptoms, examine the patient, make a diagnosis then treat the patient. Our patient is the Philippine. Diagnosis is fragmented society. Symptom is our Filipino Mindset as illustrated in the previous postings of symptom 1–3. Finding is deteriorating social conditions i.e. poverty, poor governance, etc...
Let's get our categories straight Folks. The patient is the whole bureaucracy that cannot seem to provide the necessary solutions to problems despite the monstrous financial budget it gets from the Filipino people.
Now who is sick? the government bureaucy and all the officials who people it are the ones who need diagnosis -- not Mang Juan and Aling Pilar who work themselves to the bones just to feed their families.
A vegetable selling couple were pushing their cart at Commonwealth Av when the man was sideswiped by a car which did not even stop to pick him up and bring him to the hospital .
Along Edsa by the corner of Edsa, from the side of the POEA, the commuters have to climb up the steel bridget to get to the island about three meters away just to be able to get a ride to Baclaran. Imagine this: a crippled individual, or a pregnant woman, an elderly couple trying to negotiate the one-story high bridge just to get to a bus stop which we could easily cross to before.
At North EDSA again, by the corner of that street going to project 6, the passageway is less than one meter, and is barred with railings about 8 feet high on both sides so that the commuters would be like chickens being cooped up and should an off his rocker should suddenly lose his composure, then the rest won't have any place to run to except to go up the bridge.
Along EDSa are those pink toilets which smell of urea even if you are inside a non-airconditioned bus passing by them. Then the urine flows down the sidewalks making them toxic.
Who put up all these? No one but B Fernando whose radio advertisement depicts two women talking about a certain BF and turns out to be the same man. So he has two girlfriends. Very funny for Marides Fernando, the Marikina mayor, and his real nwife.
Now tell me who is sick Folks?
We pay our taxes. The evat of our electricity runs up to 300 + a month, and the bills are going up and up. A year ago our LPG used to be only 300+ but now runs up to 500+. Whose fault is this but the legislators who cannot make up their minds whether to scuttle the deregulation law or not.
Let us not add more problems to the Filipino people. And never lower their self-esteem saying that they are at fault. We are not at fault, Folks. They are the ones at fault because we are paying them to make our lives comfortable and prosperous. What do we get? Fine dining tourists in New York at our expense.
Please, don't blame the victims. Blame those at the top.
