Who is to be blamed when 77% Filipinos now are poor or a 35 million Filipinos go in bed hungry? Are you going to blame the country by poor performance in food production? 'Bout its oil deregulation law? In this clear and present poverty where Philippines is in danger zone of two-digit inflation. When the lady dare not to comb her hair because the writing on the wall is plain to see. Just last year we are at 7.3% GDP growth amidst obvious poverty in the land. Now, we are down and out of our annual target. Enough for an issue of corruption and fraud. We have a lot of that. Who sinned against the heaven then? My country, my leaders, my people, myself or all of the above? Who lets the Touch of the Master's Hands out in the land? Can we still solve the mess we are in? Can there be a messiah syndrome left in the heart of every Filipino?

Ourselves i think, we chose not to fight corruption, lawlessness, unrighteousness by simply keeping silent on issues affecting our society. We chose not to speak and detest wickedness upfront. In our day to day experiences, there are people doing unlawful acts right infront of us, but we chose not to speak and go the other way as if nothing happened instead. We chose not to pray for our country and magnify the negative instead..

Ourselves, who managed to get li'l things from our workplaces thinking this is okay and nobody will notice it anyways. Ourselves, who doesn't stand for what is right and doesn't live to the standard of people who upholds righteousness. It's us, who forgets our history, our culture, our mission to this dying world. "Righteousness upholds a nation"..

Let's agree on this, that it's very hard or impossible to change other people may it be our friends, family, colleagues. We have no control over them but with ourselves, we have control. So let's stop trying to change the world and make it a better place to live because that will never happen. And stop trying to change other people's attitude or ways, because it is really very hard and normally your effort won't be rewarded. Let us just work very hard to change ourselves, that is workable because we have control over ourselves. If we Filipinos who will read this and be willing to change wrong mindsets and attitudes, and start to work and sacrifice for the good of our family and community. And if other organizations, churches and families will do the same, then we will enjoy prosperity in our country. To our political leaders and lawmakers, please support projects on agriculture, livelihood projects and the like. We only have one country, let us work together and be proud to be a Filipino!
