Why Politicians Should Not Ride on Cory's Bandwagon

Is he Badass?


I know getting politicians to shut up is a task as ginormous as finding the lost city of Atlantis. We were all taught to live with the fact that the crap that comes out of the mouths of these talkative creatures are the same messages that determine our country's future. Sure there are the good tomatoes but unlike the case of the rotting apple, the good ones do not help in creating fresh perspectives. After a while in the seat vested by the people, they decay along with the manure of society. It seems that the job description stated below a politicians application form reads: "If you are a social climbing, backstabbing and greedy beast who talks shit and do not care for people then this is the job for you. And one more thing, you must be rich and well connected."

One perfect example is Mayor Alfredo Lim of Manila.

Nicknamed "Dirty Harry" for his hands-on and ruthless approach to dealing with criminals and drug dealers, everyone found out that all of this was just pure showmanship. Not long ago his son was caught by the Police and the NBI operating a drug den and selling meth on the streets. Thus the so called drugs No. 1 enemy all this time hides family members who partake in this enterprising venture. So in my opinion all this renaming of Manila Science High School to Cory Aquino High School is just his ploy to get back on the good side of people. One message Mayor Lim, this does not help.

Mayor Lim, this plan of yours only makes you look like a kid who tries to get on the good side of his Mommy and Daddy but ends up making things worse and getting grounded for a longer period of time. Trying to ride on the bandwagon of Cory's death and the Filipino's sympathy for her and out pouring of love would not make you a better mayor. What you are trying to do is just plain stupid. Masci does not deserve its history and legacy to be erased just because you want your shit to smell better. Cory does not deserve to be a replacement for your own mess ups. What we all need is that you act like the man you claim to be when you begged for people to vote for you and execute something that is long term.

Build a school, build a new building, build a road or build a park, I don't care what ever it is you build and rename after the late president. Do not desecrate the sacred ground which many a student spent their teen years dreaming of a better tomoorrow and better politicians. If Cory could talk right now I'm sure she'll tell you to piss off and leave Masci alone. She'd advice you in her famous venerable voice that what she would want is a new school to accommodate more students and for you to get your act together. This is the reason why our country is a mess politically speaking. Our leaders want to make life easier for them alone thus taking shortcuts that make matters worse. They patch the cloth with cheap-ass fabric that tears off after a day. Their solutions are similar to those of toddlers trying to make sand castles.

So my last message to you O GREAT MAYOR, is to leave our school out of your shallow plans. We take no pleasure in the thought that the fate of our school rests on politicians like you who lose their common sense when assuming office. Our Masci will be Masci forever long after you have stepped down and regretted all the mistakes you have done in your years as Mayor.
