Remember this?:
“BIRTH CONTROL PILL IS ILLEGAL PUNISHABLE BY FINE & JAIL.”
In 1971, Marcos approved birth control pill to halt DEADLY population explosion. Backed by Pres. Marcos & funded by the UN, the program was a success. Our country’s population steadied at 42Million until 1986. The Philippines was an economic success. The result of what Cory did was 95 MILLION HUNGRY FILIPINO MOUTHS from her FILIPINO POPULATION EXPLOSION with her as People Power President. Fast forward to today, we all blame PGMA for not taking care of and feeding the poor. (Well, in the first place it is not the responsibility of the govt to feed the poor unless there is a calamity or disaster. The govt has bigger fish to fry. But I digress.) NEWS FLASH: there are way too many poor today because of the failed policy on birth control, with or without corruption in govt. The Church is still opposing the reproduction bill. How much does the Church get involved in the feeding, housing, giving employment, and educating the poor of our country? How much money do they spend for the poor? HELLO?! And yet they are among the loudest critics of the govt. The funny thing is they do not even pay taxes! Have you heard the Church operate an Ateneo-like schools absolutely free for the poor? Does the Church have soup kitchens to feed our poor? Do they have shelters for the homeless for even an overnight sleep-in? In several more years our population would have doubled. ARRGGHH! I don’t care if a Mahatma Gandhi or a Mother Theresa-like person sits as president of our banana republic but whoever that person is will FAIL miserably in helping the poor in different ways that PGMA is doing now. Then what? Another People Power will ensue? Haven’t we have enough of this nonsense? The government resources is not unlimited. Having such a large IMPOVERISHED population will SIMPLY put a strain on our national coffers, with or without the corruption or lavish dinners. The saying “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” comes to mind when I think about what Cory did due to perhaps the urging of the Church, particularly Cardinal Sin.

Nung coup de etat, we have to run like hell sa Makati noon para lang makaiwas sa mga tangke nina Gringo. Nung una, lumipat muna kami sa Dasma. Nung yung Dasma naman ang akmang susugurin, we have to flee to BF homes ba yun or sa Forbes. Di ko na tanda yung third place na pinagtaguan namen.

Mabait ang amo ng father ko. He sheltered his stay-in employees sa ibang houses nya para lang di madamay sa gulo. And shucks, ang hirap pala kapag unan at tubig lang ang dala mo. You dont know what will happen talaga. Akala ng nanay ko noon e baka maging civil war na.

I can vividly recall my siblings, they are crying out of fear when they heard the tanks and firearms shooting.

So anong napala ng mga sundalo na nag coup de etat? Wala din. Lalo lang nila pinahirapan ang pinas na naghihirap na. Tsk.
