The 'Silent Majority' ... (attention to all filipinos out there!!!!)

Are you one of the 'Silent Majority'??? The silent majority are those professionals, middle class and the educated faction of the society who choose to remain silent in a lot of issues but are still watchful on what is happening in the country. I am now one of them. Now that I am older, I have gained a broader view and understanding of things and have become more realistic and patient as far as reforms in the government is concerned. I also learned to believe that somehow our country will prosper in the next few years which spring from my trust that we as a people are becoming more educated in our judgment and choices. I may no longer join the rallies but I make sure that my voice is heard when the situation calls for it. I have become a part of the ‘SILENT MAJORITY’ but no less vigilant of what is happening in our country. It would be the silent majority who may be the last to go to the streets and speak out but it would be the silent majority who would be the determining factor of the final outcome. Take for example the seemingly loud call for the resignation or impeachment of President Arroyo by the opposition. Until now it remains a futile effort of the opposition because the silent majority chose to remain silent. Or the impeachment case against Chief Justice Davide which again failed, because the silent majority in one of the rare occasions in history rallied themselves and showed to those ‘brat pack congressmen’ that we see through their machinations to discredit an honest and honorable man. It was also the presence of the silent majority that made 'Edsa Dos' a success in deposing a President and it was the noticeable absence of the silent majority that made 'Edsa Tres' a grand failure. The silent majority may choose to remain silent most of the time and adapt a waiting & tolerant attitude but we are ever watchful and will rally ourselves if necessary.
