A Stolen Democracy

This is my contribution to the growing movement for change in our country. Thousands will be going to the SONA by Monday and I'm registering my voice to it. I just hope that after this mammoth rally, organizers will follow it up with more massive and more relevant ones for just one objective---regain this Republic from the claws of Gloria and her dark minions. 

Former government officials, led by Senator Paterno, have expressed the strongest denunciation of this administration so far. Paterno have articulated what we have been saying all along--that we have a government who not only robbed us of an efficient and conscientious Republic--we also lost our democracy. 

To regain democracy, we must work overtime to show this administration that we mean business. By that, we mean, we must unite all the disparate forces in Philippine society which share our ideal of democracy. Forces from the enlightened AFP-PNP, civil society, Youth Groups, Muslim and Church groups should band together and present a viable agenda for change. It is not enough that we gather once in a while, no. 

We need an umbrella organization that shall serve as a conductor of this revolutionary orchestra. We need a genuine alternative to government that is strong enough to fight the darkest forces of evil this country has ever seen. 

This alternative should have just one objective--seize the reins of power from the incumbent and create or establish an interim Council of State that will do the necessary moves to save this Republic from sinking into Gloria's hellish Enchanted Kingdom. 

This is the goal, this is the objective of each and every change-maker of this generation. And I hope that you share the same thoughts.
