I am convinced today more than ever of government’s complicity in making sure present crops of Filipinos remains slaves of illiteracy and ignorance. It desires a citizenry compliant to its devious ways and policies detrimental to their collective well being.

A government that is serious in tapping potentials out of its people would have pushed the envelope to higher degree and taken much greater efforts in providing highest standards of education best money can buy for its citizens.

Resources are diverted consistently on nonsense undertakings producing more chaos and disparity among its populations.

Regrettably and we hope this serves as a reminder to those able to climb the stairs of their chosen professions, there will always be permuting albatross to their success if their ethics and morals can be subdued easily by arrogance and inhumane considerations of others they sworn to serve with dignity and compassion.

Such is the case in Cebu involving doctors and nurses. The world is again watching us, Medical Board of the Philippines. We hope the incident will not prove Terri Hatcher was right all along.

A highly educated citizenry, untainted and unquestionably astute and ethical than most in government, would have seized the moment to show thieving rascals the exit doors.

If a simple issuance of pink slips is not enough to secure peaceful compliance, an intense highly motivated people, one that is not badly exploited and marginalized to a point they need to line up blocks away for cheaper rice, would have taken the high road.

Let those who cannot be persuaded to do the right thing burn in hell.

Instead we have mediocrity and government sub-standard issued educational priorities.

Hence – we have people happy and willing to line up for cheaper rice.

Happy that our pockets are picked on constantly.

Happy despite billions of pesos disappearing right before our eyes depriving specially those in need of social services.

Happy seeing ourselves mired in abject poverty in pernicious squalor.

Happy and excited we have low life pedigrees governing our lives.

Not surprisingly, we have government malevolent equally ecstatic for it has assured itself of countless happy citizens.

It all had to do with a song made popular by Willie McFerins.

BE HAPPY – DON’T WORRY!
