When i was still experiencing this feeling of dismay for what had happened in the last May election, that cheating on elections and irregularities are now (somehow) was lessen through the automated election, this great joke is being shoved to my face and I feel this great shame (for it was indeed, the truth).
It was proven that the Filipinos are not yet matured enough in choosing candidates while casting their votes last May. It was a shame for I am also, a proud Filipino.
F. Sionil Jose (or Frankie) a Filipino Novelist, writer, and journalist sent to Noynoy an open letter before he was about to take oath. Sir Frankie is one of the Notable Pinoy who is still living and at the age of 85, gained already tons of wisdom from life experiences.
This open letter to Noynoy is almost a double black eye for me, as even he (Sir Frankie) admits the great mistake of the Filipinos and calls Noynoy Presidency as "THE DARKEST PART OF OUR NATION."
Few notes that we may pick-up from his letter are:
1. You are not my choice. . . you have no noble legacy from forbears.
2. Your father collaborated with the Japanese (hukbalahap?)
3.Your father did not leave a legacy because he did not became a president.
4. Your ultimate judge are the poor Filipino people. . .they can be found in your Hacienda Luisita
5. Your Mother, we loved her, she promised us land reform but it never happened, she restores oligarchy through the revolutionary EDSA I.
your MOTHER became PRESIDENT when your FATHER DIED. . .
YOU became PRESIDENT when your MOTHER DIED. . .
I do not want to spoil much of the contents of the open letter. . .
We (I invite all who have a Filipino blood running in their veins) can read the whole letter through this link:

Grow up kid, wake up from your slumber, your a Filipino.
NoyNoy "can" be the spark, lets pray for our President and for the nation.
its not only his Job. its OUR job!
