MY DREAM FOR PH

By: Ben Contreras

Are we seeing history repeating itself?

Former dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos was said to be an envious president. He saw the star of his vice president Fernando Lopez rising and the Lopez family getting richer and powerful. He saw the need to eliminate his VP from the political scene.

Whether the news is accurate or not, FEM closed ABS CBN for launching a black propaganda against him. Digong didn’t close down ABS CBN, the franchise was just not renewed. See the difference? Yet, today, ABS CBN is on the side of the Marcoses.

The fall out of VP Fernando Lopez from FEM’s grace made Lopez oblivious of what his president was planning. FEM eventually declared Martial Law.

VP Sara has been shut out of the National Security Council. It doesn’t bode well for the country. Is BBM planning to declare Martial Law in the next few weeks or earlier?

For one, he has the support of America. Granting more EDCA sites for US made BBM America’s poster boy. As such, BBM could be tempted to declare Martial Law.

At the moment, he is in full control of Congress, local and national politicians who are afraid of being suspended, the military, the police and the government coffer. In short, he is like God. Is he invulnerable? I doubt. History tells us that there is an end to everything. Even the empires of yesteryears have to end somehow. It’s just a question of how and when and would it be bloody.

The series of impeachment filed against VP Sara only shows how desperate this administration is to put the vice president down. But the effect is totally the opposite. Sara has shown coolness under fire. A trait needed for a good leader.

An impeachment process or procedure is very tedious. There’s been 4 and now, a fifth is said to be being filed. Yet, Senate has shown disinterest in this. That is telling us something, don’t they?

Impeachment can be a tool for harassment. If we scrutinize the accusations being used as grounds for impeachment, those who are responsible for filing them may be as guilty as the accused. But since they are in power, they can talk and act like people devoid of sins, sins that they all may be as guilty of.

Those who are itching for an arm conflict with our neighbor should watch war histories over and over again. The horror of WW-I and II would be nothing compared to today’s warfare. If what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn’t scare you, this time, you might not even get the chance to be afraid, to be scared of.

If you love your family, your country, pray it won’t happen.

A group of concern citizens called Anti War CDO, of which I am a part of it, will hold a symposium this coming January 24-25, 2025 to be held at the Philtown Hotel. It aims to raise awareness of what is happening around us and the consequences thereof.

What the government and the United States are doing in the country is putting the lives of the Filipino people at risk of suffering massive destruction and annihilation if the West succeed in igniting a war between or among Asian neighbors.

One of the more prominent speakers to expound on this particular issue would be Mr. Herman Tiu Laurel, better known on TV as Ka Mentong. He hosts a few TV programs like “Global Talk News Radio”, “Unfinished Revolution”, “Power Thinks”, “Sulo ng Pilipino” on DZRJ and is president of Asian Century Philippines.

Get to know what is happening in our country. Be there!
