Politics

What can you say about Philippine politics?
Our country is challenged with quite a lot of political, economic and social problems at this time. The most controversial on televisions and in actual life is the political issues for it consist with well-known giant names in the republic.
The politics of our country is occasioned in an organized framework of presidential, representative and democratic republic whereby the president is both the head of the state and the head of the government. Philippine political system revolves around three separate and sovereign yet interdependent branches, the legislative branch, the executive branch and the judicial branch.
I salute the framework for I believed that if and only if these positions are filled up by a competent, intelligent and a good-hearted Filipino leader, the Philippine Politics might be one of the world listed excellent political system. The political system itself is already good, I think it is just the position-holders who ruins the system. If I were to describe Philippine politics, I would express my description through the words hot, double-standard and personal.
Philippine politics is hot. I say hot for it is always heard over radios, it is always flashed throughout televisions, it is always read around newspapers here and there and everywhere. Though sometimes it is just a waste of films and inks for now and again, political ads and news are just in favour of a particular party, bias with a particular politician and just making opponent politicians evil in the eye of the public.
Politics is double standard. Laws, policies and regulations in the Philippines are affected personally by politicians. I mean the political law-makers make laws in favour of themselves, of their businesses, of their family and co-leagues. Some established laws also are always abided by some, and some can just ignore some laws. It is double standard, for the powerful ones can just ignore and scape through the laws, and the poor and weak people are strictly watched out of the laws.
Politics is personal. Yes, I say it is personal for some politicians do projects and ordinance that benefit them. They do it for their own progress and for their own sake. They also make Politics personal for they work name-to-name, it is not what you know, it is whom you know that will make you stay in the political system.
To sum up, I say that the Pearl of the Oceans’ Political System is already well established, and Filipinos are blessed to have this excellent system. Now, it is our choice to make it for better or for worst. This is a lesson for us to scrutinize and think very well whom to trust during elections. We should choose the good politicians who match with our good political system.
