EDSA Tayo A Success

Apparently EDSA Tayo was very successful. It was not a political rally as such but more of a prayer vigil.

Around a thousand people tried to fit themselves in inside the Church (Mary Queen of Peace Shrine) which has a capacity of 700. Another 4,000 camped outside.

The thing that concerns me about this was that it was trying to separate itself from a political rally. It seems that this vigil is ready to forgive and forget. This is well and good for the people who are employed and belong to the middle classes, which most those who attended were. What about the people who do not have anything to live on? They cannot afford to forgive and forget?

For me, there is a grave need to have all those who knowingly and voraciously participated on the criminal act of indulging themselves with monies meant for the country and its people.  I would go so far to say that everyone who knew what was going on is equally as accountable.

There is something about this in the Bible.

It is okey to pray for guidance to the Lord but ultimately, we the people have to do what is necessary.  God gave us brains and brawns and laws to live by.  We should use these.  Religiousity has its place and politics has its own!

So people, pray as much as you like but at the same time demand from the Government what is right and what is needed to be done.  Demand that there is no more procrastination.  Do not hide criminals under loopholes in the law.  Criminals go to jail and take the monies they’ve “stolen”.  If they can use the constitution of the land to their advantage, it is time to use it to their disadvantage.  It is as simple as that.

A crime is a crime no matter how much it is wrapped in the best linen.  Just like a fart is a fart, silent or otherwise!
