Rotten Nation

Ahoy!! My very, very, very first entry for my blog. I'm at home right now resting. And this is my way of resting... Writing Blogs. I've been into blogging before but for some serious things that came upon me, it was sidelined for a while. But now, here i am, trying to go and write anything that comes in my mind.. Well, starting from the environment that i'm living now.

Rotten Nation. Why Rotten Nation?? Well, as what i've observed in the people of this place, it's kind of disgusting, in a way how others are taking advantage of their power. Hahaluan ko na ng Tagalog ha?? Hehehe... 'cause i love my country, that's why... what i mean by taking advantage? One time kasi i'm on my way home from cubao to luzon avenue. I rode a bus. When we reached Kamuning, there were seven traffic enforcers of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (Naks! buo pa talaga!) who rode the bus. I looked at the conductor's face... and he's not smiling at all. Why?? Dahil hindi pala magbabayad ang mga ungas na MMDA na yun. Sabit lang. Libre. Angkas. Haaaay, ang kakapal talaga ng mukha!!! And almost all of them are living in fairview, which would cost them 25 pesos each... Hayup!! Sabihin na nating lahat sila taga-fairview, ibig sabihin, 175pesos ang mawawala sa bus company. The amount might not be big in numbers, but if everyday they'll do it all over again, it's a very,very large amount! (Tamaan sana ng kidlat ang mga ulupong na yun na nagpapasarap na mga traffic enforcers na yan!) GOD Damn them!! They don't know that it's a huge loss for the company.. Kasi mas iniisip nila yung sarili nila.. Selfish rednecks!!!

I was sitting beside one of the traffic enforcers who hitched a ride on the bus. The conductor of the bus shouted at the driver, "Hanep ka ha! Pinakyaw mo lahat ha?" The driver did not replied back, 'cause i know what the driver is thinking. When the traffic enforcer beside me transferred to another seat, the conductor sat beside me and i talked to him. "Ano yun libre lahat yun?", i asked him. He answered, " Hindi naman namin ma-ticketan yang mga yan, kasi 'pag siningil namin yan dito, babawian kami nyan pagdating sa kanto ng EDSA-Kamuning, tapos titicketan kami na may violation kami, kahit wala.. Para gumanti lang..." You see, that's how rotten our nation is... It maybe just a simple matter, but, simple things are what matters most. Sa mga simpleng bagay nagsisimula ang mga malalaking problema na kinakaharap ng bansa natin ngayon. In the Conductor's situation, they're just doing give and take. They give and give and they take whatever those "evil minions" are giving them back. I asked the conductor why they don't report it to the company or to report it directly to MMDA, but he answered back with his face of lost hope. And then he said, "Wala namang ginagawang aksyon yang MMDA na yan... No use kung mag-uubos pa kami ng laway sa kanila, kami ng kami din ang napuputukan at napag-iinitan..." They fear that the traffic enforcers would get back in them, in a much worse consequence that they'll suffer and regret for the rest of their lives. (Mr. Chairman, your people are stabbing you at your back.. And it's not good...)

I don't know kung tanga o bobo ba magbasa yang mga traffic enforcers na yan, dahil may nakasulat naman sa bus na, " NO BADGE HONORED", ibig sabihin walang exempted sa pagbabayad ng bus fare.. These hypocritic predators are preying on these helpless preys. i mean, madalas nilang gawin yung pananamantala nila sa mga ordinary buses, yung mga walang aircon, laging bukas yung door at open kung sino man ang papasok at sasakay.. Well, that's why i've said that they take advantage of their power, but for me, their just peasants. Yung ginagawa nila sa mga ordinary buses eh 'di nila kayang gawin yun sa mga "big time" na company ng bus lines. Yung mga gumagamit ng aircon buses. Takot lang nila dun... But, i grieve for the small bus companies... For the traffic enforcers, shame on them, shame on them...

I don't know why they can't produce few pesos for the fare. It's not that expensive. They work almost everyday of the week, most of the time, in my point of view, they spend their time texting, sitting, chatting with fellow demons while on the road, take note, while on the road, meaning on a very large crowd with a very observative eyes, like me.

Well, i hope there'll be changes, maybe not today, not tommorow, not next week, next month or next year, but maybe someday. I hope the public would be aware of this problem. I hope there'll be action from the authorities out there to change this kind of issue. And my last words for the morons who are still lurking out there, "Burn in Hell".

Note: Sorry for my words. Maybe others who will read this might get offended. But that's what i really feel... Peace Out! Ciao!!!!!
