Politics

Am at a internet café now, checking on my emails and blogging. Beside me, the kids are playing pc games, oblivious to the goings-on at Ayala Avenue and Ortigas.

Those who know me know that I am NOT at all the type to delve in talks about politics. Especially not the kind to write nitty-gritty political editorials. But with the going-ons now...

The rallies are of course, organized by people calling for the resignation of GMA. Just arrived here from the office, and had a difficult time commuting what with the rally at Ayala. As expected, the MRT was jampacked, more so than usual, and it was a struggle to go through the throng of people just to step off the train! Oh, I relish the day when I’ll have my own car.

But I digress… the rallies at Ayala and Ortigas force me again to take a long, hard look at what’s happening to the Philippines. Is it really a hopeless case, as many people say? I have to admit, going abroad is becoming more and more appealing to me. For the longest time, I have always had the plan to migrate, but before it was only at the back of my mind. Not something that I had taken steps to pursue. But now, it seems that the plan to migrate is presenting itself more as a necessity now, more than anything else. And my primary consideration now are the kids.

Anyway, these are all still just a speck in my mind right now. Until I finally decide that migrating is the ONLY option for a better life for my kids, I still hold hope that things WILL get better for my beloved Philippines.

As for tomorrow, our plan is to go on with our lives as usual, take the kids to judo class, and do what other ordinary Filipino families do during the weekends. I need the breather!
