DUTERTE: Captain Barbell is falling…!

Sad! Captain Barbell; the country’s super hero is falling from the sky. In a world where the battle for the hearts and minds of people is fought in the arena of the media; the president’s men that runs the department are highly amateurish. What a waste – Teddy Locsin Jr would better serve the country as press secretary than a UN ambassador.

One word one bullet that is disabling the president’s wing is EJK, a despicable word that the enemy of the state have honed to shoot down the president’s rating. Gangs and criminals, drug peddlers and their bosses kills with impunity because anyway; the media and HR groups will call it EJK. Rouge policemen involved in drugs, kidnapping and other criminal activities likewise kill with impunity in broad daylight to discredit a president that is bound to get them one way or another.

EJK is not only shooting down the president’s rating, it overshadows the great things the government are doing.

The Mega Manila subway system alone is mindbogglingly  inspiring that previous administrations considered too big too expensive to even talk about. It is not new, it has been floated as far back as I can remember but no president dares to touch it with a totem pole. It needs a super hero to drag it out of people’s dreams to reality but hey; the subway system is just one of many goodies in the president’s sack full of promises – a 9 trillion build, build and build infrastructure programs. 9 trillion is 9 trillion worth of goodies – local and international airports, super highways, expressways, railways, speed trains, Light Rail Transits, sky-ways, bridges, ports and yea – free college education. It is breathtaking then you pause and wonder – what the hell were previous administrations doing? You realize then why political enemies of the president want him to fail: to save face. 

What the government need is a PR company or an agency of government that will respond effectively to the president’s critiques in a civilized manner not name calling or cursing. It is right for the media to cover the war on drugs but it should likewise cover what the government is doing for the fallen innocents. Cops are charged with murder. Erring cops are sent to the front line while others are either discharged from service or suspended for offenses unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. 

Where in the world did you hear an entire police force of a city numbering thousands shipped out to other places for mere suspicion of involvement in crimes? Why is the media mum on these important issues?

The government need a media that will highlights the government’s gargantuan infrastructure projects. The war on drug that initially excites people has lost its allure. Let people hear what they want to hear…a beautiful Philippines racing towards “first world” country status.
