“The perceived battle between the executive and the judiciary on the case of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo worries some political analysts” (See in “Judiciary-executive battle worries analysts,” abs-cbnNEWS.com, Posted at 11/18/2011 11:16 PM | Updated as of 11/18/2011 11:16 PM)
Whether or not there is reason to worry about the GMA case, I’m beginning to wonder whether too much attention is given to these and other similar cases that tend to focus on problems of the past. I understand that these can serve as warnings to politicians that are only interested in filling their pockets while most of the people they profess to serve are barely surviving.
However, I feel that the government and other sectors interested in the development of the Philippine economy should divert people’s attention to solving the countries great economic problem. We all know that Philippine economy, for example, remains afloat because of the dollars being sent, especially by OFWs, to their families back home. From what I’ve gathered, almost three thousand Filipinos leave the country each day to work overseas, mainly in the Middle East.
Now, what if in the future things will change? What if there will be no more need for Pinoy workers overseas? What will happen to the economy? Is there any plan in place? If nothing is being done today about this potential problem, then the economy is in great danger, and should this bad scenario take place, Pinoys hard lives will even get harder.
As believers and Pinoys, what can we say and do to change things or, even better, make things happen?
