Finally, something really good on TV that's on the right TIME SLOT: GMA 7's the Philippine Agenda. was able to catch another episode this afternoon at grabe, when most of the time inis ako sa mga pulis natin because kung hindi mga kotong cops ang laging nasa news, mga incompetent naman. but watching the philippine agenda kanina naawa ako sa kalagayan ng mga pulis sa pilipinas; imagine meron palang nag-oopisina at gumagawa ng blotter in the dark?? at kamusta naman 'yung mga offices, kagamitan at training nila - to say na kulang sila sa pansin is an understatement. when philippine agenda went on to check if our police officers still knew the rights of the accused (which they were supposed to know by heart) and the definition of crimes like murder and homicide, di ko alam kung matatawa ako o maiiyak when the show revealed just how little our police officers knew. how in the world would you feel if you knew that the police officer in your community did not know what murder meant?


same goes with the country's lawyers. with the thousands who take the bar exam each year, you would think that there won't be any shortages with the people who'd help us defend our rights. but no. this year, there is only one lawyer for every 88,000+ filipinos. apparently, out of all the lawyer wannabe's few ever really think of serving as a public attorney. how sad di ba.

now, who among our candidates (for senate, congress, governor, mayor) spewing all kinds of promises here and there are aware of issues like these and really intends to change things, and has the skills to change things, for the better?

8 days to go before election day. vote wisely guys.
