Remnants

During my younger years until college , I thought our President only vacate office when he dies. From primary to high school , our teachers would require us to memorize the full name of our president , his wife, his children, and the head of different Ministries . It is only in college where I learned that we had a congress and senate which was abolished and replaced by Batasang Pambansa.

I was young and never cared about politics , I thanked the government for giving me COCOFED scholarship in high school. Little did I know that coco levy makes us very poor. Had coco levy not imposed on small farmers, my parents can also afford to send me to High School. Only this time that I realized we were just used by the government then to show to the small farmers like us , hey we help you, we give scholarship to your children , so it’s okay if I impose coco levy, and I give the monopoly of coconut industry to my friend and dummy.

That was past , we cannot undo it, but the saddest thing of all is, it is happening again in this time, and many people are happy being fooled and robbed. Blind followers abound.
