I agree with you, the Vice President has the duty to speak and serve the country if she finds something’s not happening right or in accordance with what is true and just.

I hope everything would be fine for our beloved country.

  Hi acelawrites,
  
  Thank you so much for your reply. Yes we all hope that all our country’s ill and problems will just go away just like by the wink of an eye or by just one click of one’s fingers.
  
  But the reality of the political landscapes in our country is far from ideal. It seems that it is always politics as usual in our country. Well, as they say the people deserves the kind of leaders that we elect into public office.
  
  The partisan political interest along political party lines is very self-evident in the case of the threat of impeachment against VP Leni Robredo.
  
  It seems that there is a concerted effort on the part of the Duterte Administration to silence all and every opposition or political opponents that is vocal and critical with current power that be.
  
  Just look what happened to Sen. Leila de Lima. It is not far-fetched that the same fate may happen to VP Leni Robredo especially that the present administration has powerful control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
  
  I do not want to sound too alarmist or too pessimistic with what’s going on in our country but all the sign and symptoms of a pending political cataclysms are already there written on the wall.

Hi Shavkat,

Thank you for your reply and it is much appreciated. I agree with your observation that it seems that everything is spinning out of control in our country.

Indeed, powers corrupts and more power corrupts absolutely may be a quotation in point with what’s happening in our beloved country.

Likewise, in the country of the blind the one who rule is a one-eyed king or something to that effect.

It seems the Mr. Duterte is already intoxicated with the allure of power or perhaps an illusion of grandeur on his part? Just look on how he pontificates every now and then. Perhaps he is already too in love with hearing his own voice so much so that he is already deft to the shout and cry of the people?

What I cannot stomach from our current President is the expletives and bad mouthing that he is always indulging into. How could you respect such kind or type of leader when he himself has no common courtesy to others or having no GMRC at all.

We even teach the good moral and right conduct to our young ones even in the nursery and kindergarten yet our very President to my mind has no GMRC at all with regards to others especially with the other Head of States.

Please pardon me for saying so.

My take of terrorism is there is no good or bad terrorists. A terrorist is a terrorist. He knows only to kill people may be it is their fellow citizens people of their same faith or other faiths. The problems starts with the governments of developed nations who take their support to do their bidding. There are some countries which are a haven for terrorists. They provide all sort of training, use of weapon, use of handling explosives all this in the name of ideologies.

These countries then use them as an arm of the military who do subversive and covert operations. They use it against the countries with whom they do not seem to enjoy friendly relations. But these countries get annihilated. As the terrorists they breed know nothing constructive but to kill and be killed. Developed nations should see that they neither take the help of these outfits, nor support them to fight against the countries with whom they have problems. These terrorists are the scum of the earth.
