The Philippines, A third world country currently under the laws of the 16th president Rodrigo Duterte. After the election results; there have been a big storm in the media and net community regarding positive and negative feedback regarding his seating in the presidential spot. None can blame those that are against Duterte because of the sudden flooding of news regarding the Extra- Judicial Killings and the increase of the rallies that occur almost everywhere. Some may say his new laws are for the better and others say that it is just another replay of the old Marcos Era. Aside from the repulsive way and offensive words our current president lets out, Is there really anything we can do? Are we truly free?
In my honest opinion, I'd say No; The new laws that have been set upon us just made our country much more complicated than it already is. We have more people rallying, We have higher death tolls and issues in need of help are just shunned. How can we rise up from being a third world country if our own government has in-fights and arguments on a seldom basis?
As I type this article,I did my research and as far as I go, the news about Philippine politics get more and more disappointing; How can we be free of tyranny if the cabinet itself have their own set of issues such as allegations and fake news? I just hope In the next election, we can discover a new set of senate that can somehow fix the flaws the government has before they can fulfill the flaws of the country. I'd say, people are beginning to forget our history. We created history for the purpose of reminding us and to help us avoid making the same mistakes; But we're neglecting history, we're stupid enough to repeat the same mistakes we have the chance to avoid.
