I was browsing the TV late last night after finishing tons of laundry when I chance upon a sort of talk show with the President and the Vice President. The topic was about infrastructures being built to provide better transportation. It also tackeld future projects like decongesting Metro Manila, improving the quality of life, transferring some government agencies to provinces, etc.
I am really not a fan of the government. I hate politics. People in it are a bunch of craps and corrupts. The country is obviously sinking, and fast. Though I am not a pure activist at heart. I am a semi-activist in my own right, if I may sayso. I think rallies and demonstrations are ineffective already. The government is already numb with these kinds of actions.
So back to last night. I found myself listening attentively to everything the President said, unbelievably. I have never been a fan of GMA but last night I was, for a moment. Somehow I found myslef believing that she could make a difference, that she was sincere, that she can rebuild a wrecked, poor nation such as ours.
Maybe I have been very pessimistic about the government or this administration. I would have voted for Lacson if I were able to vote during the last elections. I believed in him. A Marcos-type persona. I thought kamay na bakal would be the answer. That, I will never know. But now, GMA sits in power. I and all of us could only hope for the best. And last night, she proved herself worthy to me of every vote she got, legitimate or not.

So, there is hope. As long as you have hope that there can be improvement, then you owe it to yourself to give people a chance.
