We often mix these performances with antics which our captive audiences over the years labelled as “NGO-Speak”. More often than not, we employ this method in our seminars on political technocracy. Now I will adapt this technique in my blog.

Basically these are literal translations of the Queen’s language. As English is the preferred medium during seminars, we interspersed this with the Filipino paraphrases for emphasis.

I AM A ANGRY! (Ako Galit!)

Lately, we have been bombarded daily by exposes of massive thievery by our elective officials, denials, accusations, counter-accusations, lists and sub-lists that tend to muddle the issues. There is this public contest on demonstrating who the bigger villains are.This deluge of information has established one immutable. All if not most of them are scoundrels fit to be skinned alive and quartered. What is left is for the courts to determine the extent of the damage they have inflicted – and they must be made to pay society.Ah, Damiens the Regicide would be laughing at his grave, for men who are doing a greater crime than him are running scot free!

But I have lately heard friends whose attitudes are verging on the surrender. People have become hopelessly hopeless. They act as if there is no longer any tomorrow. They think as if the sun is no longer going to rise in the morning.“Nothing will come out of this”. “These are powerful people – they can get away with this, given time.” “Pare-pareho lang yan sila – mga kawatan!”

Thereinlays the tragedy. We are losing our sense of OUTRAGE. Perhaps this is what these shameless senators, congressmen, bureaucrats, whistle-blowers and their coterie of PR people and even allies in the administration were meant to accomplish – to blunt our anger.

I refuse to be sucked in.

I AM A ANGRY!

At these bastards whom I elected to the highest positions of the land and in return have broken my trust!

At these Senators who prance around with their retinue of bodyguards who I see often at the Society Pages of newspapers and magazines – yes, they surely need these bodyguards.

I AM A DOUBLE ANGRY! (Ako Galit na Galit!) At the Ombudsman who proclaim they have enough evidence of plunder against three senators yet has not filed the case in court.

At the justice system for toying with the idea of granting Janet Napoles immunity and a possible slot at the witness protection program provided a portion of her loot is returned.Is this what justice is all about? Will the return of a portion of their loot erase their culpability? Steal indecently huge amounts and return some – “kung masakpan” – “kung mahuhuli”.

At these‘holier than thou’ bishops tolerating companion-priests, grovelling sycophants favoured by the plunderers with hundreds of thousands for travel and the ministry – dismissing nonchalantly the morality of using such funds.

I AM TRULY A DOUBLE ANGRY!

Today Pnoy boasts about our growth rates. During the World Economic Forum his allies in the oligarchy smugly pat each other’s backs on the economic achievements. Yet we still remain as the country with the highest unemployment rate among all other ASEAN nations. How maddening! Our own fresh and recent previous graduates have this common Facebook status:

“currently employed at: None”.

Some even put ‘at home’, hide or simply do not put details in the ‘about section’ of their very own FBprofiles. Frustrating how the accelerating modernity of our times is not congruent to the opportunities that should be available to our youth!

We should be mad because college education has become prohibitively expensive! And true, a college diploma no longer guarantees suitable employability! So how can the youth be motivated to do more for the country if their years in college are to be compensated with less than decent wages?

At the end of the day, we all must give vent to our anger and outrage and shout in the streets – “ENAP IS ENAP”

We invite the readers to come up with their own list of: I AM A DOUBLE ANGRY!
