But as you know, I have a different point of view regarding the issues. I know that you will allow me to share a piece of my mind.<BR/><BR/>We always complain about corruption and how slowly it decayed our once disciplined society. But do we do something about it? The ineffective leaders that we have right now are only a consequence of our ignorance. Corruption is bad, but not doing something to stop it is worse. <BR/><BR/>Trillanes has violated the law and has to punished. And you are right about coups not being the answer. But we have gone to the conventional means and nothing happened. Are we contented with just criticizing our leaders? Trillanes retracted eventually, but at least he started something. None of us has even reached the point of asking our leaders to step down.<BR/><BR/>Trillanes only did half of the job. But don't we realize that we have not done any? Yes, his actions are hard to justify. But how do you justify our total ignorance to reality? We are only good at criticizing, we are never good at doing.<BR/><BR/>Heroes do not harm others. That is a myth my friend. Remember Andres Bonifacio? He harmed others when he convinced the Katipuneros to fight the Spaniards. He knew revolution was not the answer, yet he still persuaded others to join his crusade. And what was the result? A resounding defeat. Now we call Bonifacio a hero. We even celebrate the day of his death. <BR/><BR/>Of course Trillanes is no Bonifacio. But none of us can be compared to Trillanes. So why criticize? <BR/><BR/>This is what I love about your blog my friend. Cabalen tau sa Friday?

Is he considered a nuisance because of his impulsiveness? or a hero because of his principles?

However, the end does not justify the means. I have always believed in doing things the peaceful way, Ev. <BR/><BR/>There was a lot of talk during the takeover thing, e.g., things about this and that that didn't even made to the newspaper. At this point in time, all i can say is that i'm glad it's over. Hopefully, things will go back to normal again. And sad to say but true, that also includes graft and corruption in my beautiful country.
