-a shout out to the authorities.

How soundly can you sleep?

While your people can’t even close their eyes?

How evenly can you breathe?

While more and more people dies?

How satisfyingly can you eat?

While hunger swallows all those victims?

How comfortably can you sit?

While your people were in perilous scenes?

How much longer can you wait?

While they hold on nothing but faith?

Please hear my voice, hear me!

Fulfill the promises you once built for your country!

She said how could I do it when I didn’t even got taller serving my term. In fact I became shorter on my seat anxious to stand up knowing somebody is always around to grab the chair the way I took it during an uprising.What is more I’m nearly at the end of my term and the spoils are more difficult to cover up than manipulate the result of another election. I knew this because we shared the same birthday and as April fools we think (more or less) the same way. And so she would say, I took this seat from another April fool. Just to keep you smiling. BTW Rizz you did a very good wake up call. I hope they didn’t fled the country as I did.

You have displayed the true sentiments of the people. Even I have to work double time just to clean up the mess Ondoy brought. But Let us not put all the blame to our authorities. I guess, Mother Nature has given us a wake up call. \\\\\\\”Huwag mong kalabanin ang Inang Kalikasan.. Like bthis one, anak.
