Gloria and Mike's selling spree


It's very disturbing how we sell our natural resources and our patrimony as if they're just hotcakes or your lowly isaw. I mean, Gloria and her mafia gang have just sold our nickel to the Chinese. I know we need US$ 150 million, and it would provide jobs for thousands of Filipinos in that part of the world, but hey, selling hundred of prime, pristine lands to these Chinks makes one puke at the direction of those who made this very embarrassing deal!

Nothing wrong with this, I imagine Gloria's fair-haired boy Mike Defensor telling us. Everything is above-board. We have'nt violated any law. Besides, what's so special about a nickel plantation anyway?

Well, I think Mike's mind has already been deadened anyway, so no amount of convincing would turn this former student leader-turned congressman-turned technocrat-turned turncoat to a different tack. Mike, the issue is not about if this is above-board or not. It's about this thing called "hiya", which apparently you lost all the way to the bank with this one.

I've been reviewing your credentials and nowhere do I find an expertise about mining, about mineral resources and all those stuff which would qualify you to be a director of this Geograce (Disgrace?) or Nihao company. How would you answer allegations that this deal was given to you as a reward for being Gloria's only remaining spice boy-operator-influence peddler? I mean, hey, have you seen a medium-sized company anywhere in the world who can bag such a lucrative and exploitative deal like yours? Only in this country Mike, only in this country.

Net--you bagged this deal because you maintained very close relations with Gloria, period. Where's the track record of your company? Besides, don't we have that technology to exploit our very own resources? I mean, come on! The Philippines used to be the prime exporter of nickel in the world, and we did that without Chinese help. So, nihao Mike, nihao!

I don't blame you classmate. Your benefactor's days are numbered. But, please, do limit that greed. I mean, you and your gang of operators are selling our patrimony and our freedoms left and right. Yeah, nothing wrong with earning some dough there, right? Try not to sell every river, every stream, every island, every mountain, every valley or even, every Filipino Mike.

Look...you've nearly sold our communications network...every airport...every sea port...even the waters and vast agricultural lands...all in the name of Gloria's Enchanted Kingdom. You and Gloria are even trying to sell to the MILF. For all we know, we'll just wake up one morning and we're either a Chinese colony or entirely Malaysian.

Mahiya ka naman bro, kahit konti lang.

Anyway, sige, sell what you want to sell. Do what you want to do. Sell everything to the foreigners. You can get away with it now. But, try to wait for a little while classmate. Maybe you need to go someplace else if this thing boils over. 

Time to sharpen those shears, Alex. The time is ripe for the harvest.
