Utang na loob naman

Tama na ang lokohan.

On my way to work I noticed yellow posters (with red and black colored font) along EDSA (south bound from Muñoz/Roosevelt Ave). Content of the posters vary (not really the exact content):

"Presyo ng Kuryente Ibagsak, Hindi ang Presidente."
"Trabaho hindi Gulo"

Then something about tuition fee. If I remember it correctly, a similar campaign back in 2005 was launched.

A certain (group?) "Kasangga" is spearheading the irritating campaign (actually there's still a copy below "Kasangga" but the font used is too small and the poster is too far for me to clearly read it). But I guess it's the party-list. Mga timawa. No, it's not helping the administration. It's actually making more number of people angry (me included). Seeing banners/posters like that agitates the people. Tangina. Sino'ng niloloko niyo.

*******

I've yet to feel the urge to go to the streets as I still feel there are other ways to show disgust to that person in the position. But it's fine to see people airing their disgust out loud in rallies.

Lalo na ngayon na may mga ganitong kalechehan. Nyeta. Kaninang umaga raw hinaharang pa ang mga pampasehorong bus para alamin kung sino ang pupunta sa rally. Nyeta ulit. Eh ano ngayon ang gagawin ninyo? I-dedetain niyo? Utang na loob.

And that there are certain actions that we should consider to get things going (more than simply showing disgust). How about a "Pester Power"?

naku, meron ding mga ganyang kairitang campaigns sa circle kanina. buset! in the first place, sino ba ang talaga ang gumagawa ng gulo? e hindi ba yung mga corrupt na nabubuko eventually? kairita nga talaga! aaaammmmfffff!!!

eniweys, mukhang ok yung pester power. winner --> ang kapangyarihan ng kakulitan. however, ang hirap lang e maraming tongresman na mala-GMA, nagbibingibingihan at nagbubulagan sa totoong sentimyento ng taong bayan. pero wala rin namang mawawala kung susubukan. sa mga karagdagang pressures... baka sakali...

Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko nung nakita ko iyong nakakalat na posters, tangina parang gusto ko magwala.

Pakiramdam ko naman eh dahil sa pestering (pressure for that matter) mapapagdalawang isip din ang ilan sa mga hinayupak. Wala talagang mawawala kung susubukan (we need to ACT). Ano'ng malay natin kung may mangyaring mahusay.
