There are a lot things to do do to translate our inner change into active one to prove our inner change will transform our community by infecting them.
I hope the anti-political dynasty act will be passed in Congress where most of our politicians are related.
I hope even poor people can be a president without resorting to big money campaign sourcing or depending on ill motivated benefactors.
I hope College schooling will be free so that our poor people, even those below average, can get equal opportunities in their future lives.
I hope there will no longer discrimination in our society just because one is an indigenous person with a different color of skin or from a different culture.
I hope that all of us will start to manage ecologically our garbage starting from our home so that we will no longer resort to throw away mentality.
I hope government officials and agencies will stop telling us that they do not have funds and need more taxes. If only they stopped stealing people’s money, funds will not be a problem.
I hope DENR officials will leave the cities and lowland offices and start transferring all their activities in the mountain areas to protect our forest from illegal activities.
I hope that they (senators and congressmen) could answer us where they will get their money if only their salary monthly is P35,000, I could not comprehend such mathematics.
I hope the government officials will stop putting their name on government projects since it’s people’s money and taxes.
I hope our soldiers will stop violating human rights and be intelligent enough with cunning to get the real criminals and enemies of democracy.
I hope Filipino voters will no longer accept candidates vote buying system to stop altogether graft corruption.
We all deserve these kind of politicians since we are all part and parcel of their greed and for that we need inner transformation that will transform our society.
I hope good people with good skills in governance will join the politics to replace bad politicians since politics is not dirty per se, it’s people who make it dirty.
