Responsibility

The past few weeks have been traumatic for our country. But true to form, no one is taking responsibility.

There has been a lot of hate messages and mud slinging going around - towards the hostage taker, towards the media, towards the PNP, towards the SWAT, towards the administration, towards the DILG, towards the mayor, towards the vice-mayor, towards the usiseros... poop flying everywhere and everyone's saying the other person's poop stinks much worse then their own. Yes, true to form, a lot of people are yapping their butt-cheeks off, wagging their tongues, and pointing fingers.

So where does that leave us now? Be (one of) the most hated nations in the world? Be the laughing stock and butt of jokes for the next couple of decades? We're great at getting attention, and trying to divert attention. Must the KSP cling to the limelight?

The problem is, we seldom learn from our mistakes because we're too busy saving face, saving ourselves, and being "pasikat". Sigh. Let's not waste our time waiting for the "next big scoop" to get our attention. Let's not wait to jump on the next bandwagon.

Bangon Pilipinas!
