are we still in the 70s?!?

I usually deviate from political rants, but i can't let this one pass.

One early morning, emphasis on EARLY, on my way to work.
I overheard an interesting exchange over the radio, well, i often keep my opinions mum, especially when i travel early and hitch a ride.

But this day's news was beyond outrageous.
Do they seriously think giving away money would help defeat POVERTY?!?
Say, throw away Php 21 BILLION for a conditional cash transfer. Provide a measly amount per family to help them live the day?

What ever happened to old saying,
"Give man a fish and let him live a day. Teach him HOW TO FISH, and he'll live a lifetime."

Sometimes, I wonder what runs in the heads of the higher ups.
Can someone please tighten the screws in their moronic heads?
Good grief, everyone knows that this specific solution ain't the way to go.
Dole out is a definite no-no. It's never gonna hit the problem, and it ain't sustainable :(

It's been how long since our dear President sat in his post, and what has he been doing?
Misjudgments and whatnot. I wonder what would take place in the coming days.
(Yup, I'm not PRO-PNOY, but I'm trying to think logically and I'm saying these things as a concerned citizen.)


Lord, help us see the light and trust You in this. We love our country.
I love the Philippines, and it pains me to see us looking like this... Please let Your grace be upon us.
