okay, i really have to get this off my chest. it's been bothering me since high school...
bakit dito sa pilipinas, parang hindi tayo umaabot sa level ng education tulad ng mga nasa first-world countries? i didn't say level of intelligence because we are all humans (assumed fact, matatalo ako for sure), therefore we can also reach what they can (boast not, you ivy league graduates, for one day you shall see kahit sinong pinoy matatalo kayo sa kahit isang bagay, maging sapakan man yan which by the way, talo na kayo dahil sa amin si pacquiao, o pabilisan kumain ng balot..). that's just the foundation of the real concern.. well, here goes: naiinggit kasi ako sa U.S. dahil sa dami ng agencies nila for national security. dito, NICA lang yata meron tayo which stands for national intelligence coordinating agency (kinailangan talaga i-coordinate, parang iniimply na sabog)... anyway, this might have stemmed from watching too many spy movies, reading too many spy novels (okay, maybe not) and watching chuck episodes but the point is, bakit tayo wala? i believe we need these agencies as much as they do, or even more so because we are in Asia and are surrounded by countries which, well, house terrorists (i'm not saying that we don't house terrorists ourselves). clearly, the non-existence of these agencies is a reflection and a statement of how much we love our country. i don't think we need another crisis to realize that. i also realized that i would want to work for those kinds of agencies not just because i'm currently unemployed, (and some of my friends who i'd love to work with too) but it would have been great to say to the future generations how OUR generation served our country. for once, i want to hear someone say, "i work for the government" (or "i'm a spy") and be proud of it. who here doesn't? tignan natin ang mga baby boomers sa pilipinas. i'm proud to say that they worked their ass off so that their descendants, us, could live better. they served their families, that's great, but is that all there is to their lives? parang ni-lugi yata sila ng destiny, lalo na sa pwede sanang mangyare sa inang bayan. nothing, it's just that ever since we were kids, my brothers always joked about my dad being a top secret agent, taking down bad guys in and out of the country and using his middle manager position as a cover. as for my mom, we imagined she's a ninja, because of her insane reflexes, her unusual skills (judo, archery, things-you-don't-wanna-know) and using the nursing degree and friendly housewife facade as cover. we were kids, and boy, i just wished we were right all along. shempre gusto kong masabi na: "wala ka sa tatay ko, mamamatay-tao, este, SPY!" yes it was cool to reminisce, but maybe our stupid idea just might work. maybe it's up to us to show them what we all were missing. siguro nga laging kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan. magli-lead pa sana eto sa usapang eleksyon, pero baka kunin na akong kasapi ng isa sa mga kandidato kaya ititigil ko na. i just wish that this generation is smart enough to start the change.
babawi ako sa fun thoughts next post. CHEERS!
