I hope lemmy posters do not engage in character assasination (of the poster). Well here it goes:

I am a supporter of Leni. With that in mind, here are my thoughts.

I don’t know if I have become jaded, or just got too old. It’s starting to become harder to imagine how it could be better. It’s not so bad. I still work, pay taxes, and just live.

I don’t know how Leni would handle the issue with China. I don’t know how Leni will deal with the sinking value of the peso. Will she be able to improve education? What about the businesses that died during the pandemic? Or the movie industry? I walk around and see cinema houses a mere shadow of their former selves.

With the pandemic, everything changed. I don’t know how a good leader will turn things around. Is BBM not doing the best he can? While I still prefer Leni and Kiko to be president and vice president, I don’t know what a better future looks like anymore. Are we just going through the motions and just want to live another day? There are no magic bullets to solve our problems. What does a REALISTIC better world supposed to look like?

Maybe I’m just sad and depressed, but these are my thoughts relating to the Philippines. I want some conversations about this, and am hoping to not be attacked for it.

    The bad, Maharlika will bite us back in the future, it’s a huge scandal waiting to happen. Philhealth is still shit and the attempt to remove money from it because it’s unutilized, makes my blood boil. I personally think this is much bigger issue than the Guo, Quiboloy and POGOs. Floods are still a thing, what happened to the plans that were brought up. I bet we will be talking about this again in the near future. Education has gone down, DepEd corruption is all time high, too be fair it already was before but now it’s ramped up. Ingat signs.

    The good, banning of POGOs, cults being put into the limelight, hope that other big one is next, you probably know what I’m talking about. Our approach in dealing with China’s incursion, it seems bad but I think it’s better compared to the previous one, were doing a proactive approach within our capabilities, kudos to our military and our coast guard who’s being professional, which is good especially to the international community. Recognition of our athletes. Finally there is a huge push for digitalization in this current administration which I think is a huge step to reducing corruption.
