Who owns our country now?

The revolution that is happening right now in Egypt is a genuine people's revolution. It is not as cheesy as ours. Cheezy revolts are just a waste of time and money. 


This month, we will be celebrating the twenty fifth anniversary of EDSA I. Compare our situation then, with what we have now. Yes, we are free to do what we want, but at what costs?


Our country has slowly transformed--from a country controlled by Filipinos to a country whose government and other societal and economic structures are controlled by pseudo-leaders and their foreign backers. 


Open your eyes, my fellow Filipinos and analyze--who owns this country now? 


Most vital governmental services are now owned and controlled by Big Capitalists. We are at the mercy of these blood suckers. They get every single cent we earn from our blood and tears. 


Post-EDSA administrations have practically sold every single vital industry we have. If we audit government properties now, how much are still being controlled by government, and how much are now in the hands of Big Business. 


Instead of a government in control, we have a government controlled by Big Business. Look at the oil industry. We made a law deregulating this industry. This industry now holds us hostage. 


Electric power is monopolized, and even water services. Look at every, single property, especially those of the military, and you'll find that it is now in the hands of Big Business. 


Look at our forest cover, there's nothing there anymore. Look at our rivers and streams, they are all severely affected by tailings from illegal mines. Our beautiful mountains have been carved and dug for ore. Indigenous groups have all been left abandoned. 


Ask government how many properties it owns, and officials will be hard put in answering you. Our government is hell-bent selling every single thing we own, because they are not competent in running these industries. 


Government always say, the reason why they intend to sell these industries is the fact that they can't run it as effectively as Big Business. Crap. Bull.


If they are incompetent, then, why are they in government?
