I find it real funny that Filipinos seem to be so excited with the inauguration (which I missed). I have seen this kind of Euphoria when GMA raised her hand and promised to serve our country almost a decade ago. Everybody was thinking the country will be better if she will handle it rather than a gambit like Pres Erap Estrada.
The thing is no matter what anybody does right now the country is in such deep shit and I mean deeeep. Nobody can straighten everything even if they try to do it in a lifetime. Even the likes of Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio failed.
Almost everybody expects mediocrety. I remember the reaction of people when MMDA was cleaning the sidewalks. They won't budge. Tsk tsk tsk and to think Bayani was just doing his job. We all rave that Marikina has improved a lot but it was because the people really wants change. A clean out like what happened during Ondoy should have been one of the greates catalyst of change but it should have been pushed by the government.
Everyone is hopeful and expecting a lot from this government, but they don't need to blame government for everything. They blame whoever is in the position, but they forget to look what they have been doing.
No matter who sits in Malacanang he will be ridiculed more than upliftted. I just hope that the color yellow will be the color of hope and sunlight. I hope it will be the color of happiness and success. I am still skeptic. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was just booed earlier, I don't know how she feels but I think she is partly relieved. Because she has passed on all the burden to the new president. I hope he is ready.
