NAGWAKAS na nga ang Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit.

Ang sigaw ng sambayanang Pinoy… yeheeey!

Kahapon ay nagmistulang garrison noong panahon ng Japanese occupation ang Intramuros, Maynila.

Nag-abiso naman sila, pero wala namang saysay ang abiso kung walang alternatibo, hindi ba?

Gaya ng ginawa nila nitong nakaraang Lunes, nagsara sila ng mga kalsada pero hindi malinaw sa commuters at motorista kung alin o nasaan ang mga alternatibong daan.

Para tuloy nagkaroon ng death march mula sa Coastal Road hanggang sa Buendia via Roxas Blvd.

Pero higit na dapat tayong maging concern, kung ano nga ba ang mahihita natin sa P10-billion APEC Summit na ‘yan?!

Kahit naman, araw-araw mag-APEC Summit kung wala naman mismong plano ang gobyerno para sa pagpapaunlad ng kabuhayan ng mas maraming mahihirap na Filipino, mararamdaman ba natin ‘yang APEC na ‘yan?!

Ramdam lang ‘yan ng maliliit nating mga kababayan dahil ilang araw silang nagutom. Ilang araw silang hindi nakalabas para maghanapbuhay.

Kaya kung utang ‘yang ginastos na P10 bilyon sa APEC, malinaw na malinaw, dagdag-pasanin ‘yan sa mga taxpayer.

Habang ‘yung mga kababayan natin na sabi nila ay jobless at hindi raw nagbabayad ng tax ay nabaon sa utang sa tindahan (buti sana kung may nagpapautang pa, e ilang araw nang walang kayod). Baka marami sa kanila nagtiyaga na lang sa isang 3-in-1 na kape itinimpla sa isang pitsel para hati-hati silang mag-anak bilang almusal.

Saka lalabas ng bahay para magdelihensiya para naman sa tanghalian.

‘Yung hapunan… pwede nang memorize na lang, tutal matutulog na naman.

Habang ‘yung mga nasa APEC, halos wala nang mapaglagyan ang mga bundat na tiyan.

‘Yan po ang kabalintunaan ng APEC.

Maging pampalubag na lang sana ng gobyernong ito na maging tapat sa mamamayan na mag-ulat sa bayan pagkatapos ng APEC Summit.

Bukod sa gastos, sana makapagpakita rin ng listahan ng mga kasunduan kung ano talaga ang nahita ng isang bansang gaya natin sa Summit na ‘yan.

Huwag sanang dumating ang sandali na kapag may nagtanong kung ano ang nahita natin sa APEC, ang isasagot lang mga nasa gobyerno ‘e,  “KAILANGAN PA BANG I-MEMORIZE ‘yan?!”

‘Yun lang!
