Now Showing: Transformers

As I watched the movie, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen during its opening day, I could not help but to notice some catchy quotes and parallelisms in our country today.

The Fallen could be attributed to no less than Gloria Arroyo herself who is surrounded by her own Decepticons, her ever loyal members of the House of Representatives.

To the Fallen and her loyal Decepticons, may you be reminded that Leadership is not found, rather it is earned. Certainly, you have not earned our trust to lead the nation. Your suspicious actions to amend the Constitution have given us enough reason not to put our trust on you to hold the might reigns of power. This goes without mentioning your ascension to the presidency in 2001 by a conspired military coup and your 2004 “victory” which could be attributed to Mr. Garci.

Certainly, the Fallen and the Decepticons will face defeat despite their devious Con-Ass moves as the Filipino people, particularly the youth will continue to fight against their evil ways and continue believing that GMA must never be allowed to stay beyond the end of her term in 2010.

Undoubtedly, GMA and her allies have picked the wrong generation. The transformers are here.

Goodbye Gloria

Barely a year from now, Filipinos are expected to vote for the next President of the Republic of the Philippines to succeed Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo. Despite this however, efforts to amend the Consitution and possibly extend President Arroyo’s term still persist in the House of Representatives.

The Charter Change initiatives keep me wondering, will GMA really step down? Will elections be held in 2010? Will we ever bid goodbye Gloria?

With this in mind, a youth group called Movement of the Youth for Empowerment, Reform, Advocacy and Progress recently launched a website to watch over the Arroyo administration and ensure that it will step down next year. The website can be accessed at http://www.goodbyegloria.com/.

www.goodbyegloria.com is a timely effort for us members of the youth to actively take part in ensuring change and influence policy change especially on issues related to good governance and youth welfare. This will set a good example of youth involvement in making a peaceful democratic transition by ensuring that the 2010 elections will be held and the present administration will step down next year.

Let us all take part in goodbyegloria.com. Visit the website. Join its online social network in Facebook and be counted together with the growing number of supporters of the GOODBYEGLORIA cause.

Goodbye Gloria in 2010.
