Another Heartbreak for this Nation

The past few days have been eventful, if I may say so. There has been a lot of things going on in the country. If you are a fellow Filipino, then I will assume you are updated with what has been happening, particularly all the negativity sprouting in all parts of the nation.

The national government's haphazard response and the various reaction of the citizen has been a hot topic, and I understand that this pretty much is an impasse. I totally understand the upset, obviously, there was a lapse of judgement, both parties need to own up to their faults. But, seriously, people of the Philippines, let's not add fuel to the fire! And cease your bright ideas such as oust the President, what would that solve? Coup d' etat , people power or anything in line to these, are not the answer to everything! Let's not forget what the endgame here is, okay? We are all for the truth, but what have we achieve thus far? Just stop pointing fingers! Blaming each other does not change the fact that there were lives lost, disrupted and an impending agreement hanging on the balance.

My dear kababayan, we need to know all the facts before we react, remember that words said in the heat of the moment are often those that stung way too deep. We get too emotional that we hardly take time to think at all. It's good that we show interest in such matters, but we should always keep in mind the adage,

You see, more often than not, national concerns are blown out of proportion. Our initial idea and knowledge become distorted and sometimes,the media tend to influence our perception. Wag po tayo masyado padala sa emosyon, we need to be objective in such times. Wag po natin hayaan ang sarili natin to judge and conclude things solely by what we feel. We have to sift through the facts, listen, and ponder! And most importantly in such trying times, we should pray!
