It's election time again in Ranao and it's "same old, same old". Politicians are buying and voters are selling to the highest bidder. For the next 3 years after the May 2007 election, elected politicians will simply pocket government money and the only thing Pilandok and Padol can do is talk about it in Banggolo over a cup of coffe and apang.
But who's to be blamed? The politicians, the voters, the central government, or the Ulama? And what can we do to stop this political circus?

All Maranaws are active participants in this vicious cycle...Maranaws in general have gone stark mad...we all are....we hate the word corruption but we breathe extortion...we are afraid of diseases yet we contaminate our bodies with plundered food... we claim to be clean yet we bathe ourselves with blood forcibly drawn from a political adversary.....we claim to be modest yet we self-aggrandize.....such is Maranao politics.....wonder if we have given the senatoriables some useful hints....
ReplyDeleteYou are correct again Asia. I will write my observation when I have composed my thoughts. I am still shocked at the election in my small municipality, where the people did not vote for the clean candidate because he did not give money.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am going to say is that the problem is the people. They gone mad, like you said. I don't know if I am angry or I feel pity for our people.
Our problems may take several generations to fix. We need to start talking about solutions and taking actions.
