To the Hypocritical Whiners (of the victims of Yolanda)

Will you guys please stop hating PNoy? Instead of slapping him with his insufficiency, why don't we help him and fill in the lacuna? Before you blame PNoy, what have YOU done to help the victims? Try going to Tacloban & deliver aids to the deepest towns with impassable roads. Can you? Please, you don't have the right to criticize the dirty river if you haven't contributed to its cleansing. Yes, I am talking to the lucky pretentious mourners who might be reading this at this moment. Are you one of them?


Just this month of November, the Philippines was devastated by a super typhoon named "Haiyan", or nationally known as "Bagyong Yolanda". The super typhoon is said to be one of the strongest typhoons in history as it caused severe damages to unfortunate areas of the Philippines, taking away thousands of lives and homes. What's irritating me at this moment is the endless rants and complaints of my fellow Filipinos regarding the disaster's impact.


In my social networking accounts, not an hour will pass that I won't be able to read direct messages to our government /president saying how inefficient and inadequate they are/he is. It's really getting on my nerves, seeing messages like these from these people who haven't done anything exceptional other than tweeting and posting the rants. Seriously, I am not a supporter of President Noynoy Aquino, in fact I do notice that he can be inefficient at times just like other people, whether in position/power or not. (which is very humanly) Inspite of the fact that I don't fully like the president, I haven't closed my mind and my eyes to what is happening in my country, unlike these hypocrites, who continue to post their sentiments on sites.


The problem with us Filipinos is that we have the wrong idea of "solidarity". We Filipinos attain unity via agreement of actions and feelings towards pessimism and wrong, but seldom in optimism and right. As you can see, people at this moment are brought together, but what brings them together? Pessimism. Rants. Complaints. Wrong. But as soon as there comes optimism, everyone else divides.


My fellow Filipinos, let us all keep in mind that regardless of his efforts, some things will still be out of his control. He's not perfect as a president and he will never be and no one will ever be. He may give his all but it will still be not enough and it will never be enough. But we got to trust the prime official of this country because it's the best we can do for him. He is not taking care of tens or hundreds or thousands of lives. He has millions, or perhaps hundred millions of lives in his hands. Before you open your mouth, please, open your mind first: HE IS OFFERING HELP IN ALL POSSIBLE WAYS. If you don't like what you are seeing, then BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT. DON'T JUST WATCH AND WAIT. ACT.





I'm donating some stuffs, clothes, and food because this is the best I can do as of this moment. How about you? Is "that" the best you can do?
