"When I grow up, I'm not going to read the newspaper and I'm not going to follow complex issues and I'm not going to vote. That way I can complain when the government doesn't represent me. Then, when everything goes down the tubes, I can say the system doesn't work and justify my further lack of participation."

I really thought that if I do my part in saving my country others will follow. Damn idealism. Everyday I try to avoid reading the newspaper so as not to dampen my spirit. Just when I thought it will be safe to read the newspaper something like this shocks the hell out of me. Damn driver! May you rot in hell. I mean he did not just put the lives of hundreds in danger he also destroyed our environment. "lunurin kaya kita sa toxic waste mo, isama na rin natin amo mo!" Violent as it may sound, I do not care anymore. These irresponsible low life sh*t (no make that lower than sh*t) people are killing my countrywomen/men and my country. "The hell with you!" I say. Are people even aware how much we are losing the battle over preserving whatever is left of our natural resources? Haller! mababa na nga ang tubig sa Angat Dam ngayon because of illegal logging (and yet you still buy goods made of wood!!!). Look at Guimaras, it will not be the same anymore unless petron can suck all the oil there. We have Ormoc, Infanta and other tragic examples of people's doing leading to destruction. Don't blame God or mother nature blame yourselves! You see we all have ourselves to blame. This is not just about DENR not doing so much, we are not really helping them. (Plant a tree! responsible garbage disposal! stop smoke belchers!) But I do hope and pray that instead of public officials spending their RATA, pork barrels and other "pera ng bayan" for personal purposes and even "ka-plastikan" na tulong, try to support in your own "little way" in saving the environment. Alam nyo your money can only do so much but it will not buy back the beauty and significance of nature... At para sa mga deadma dyan, makialam ka naman at bansa mo rin ito. As individuals we can do so much, if all of us pratice the same things in preserving our environment. (Attention mga smokers, kahit mababa ang GHG ng paninigarilyo 'wag nyo na palalain ang sitwasyon!) At the end of the day we will pay back to mother earth what we destroyed or ignored for that matter. Sana lang kapag kailangan mo na ang tulong ni mother earth at ni inang bayan eh 'wag kang deadmahin tulad ng ginagawa mo.According to PAGASA there is a typhoon coming this week... I can only cross my fingers praying that it will not do harm to my country because it is already weak as it is. Dear Typhoon, dun ka na lang sa may Angat Dam we need water...
