A HISTORY OF TWISTED FACTS
I've got enough for today. Now i got 2 truths and a clouded belief. So this is the price of being a Filipino? I had to reach this stage in life to finally realize that everything was nothing but some oligarchs' propaganda on both sides. Thanks to the powerpoint generated presentation and the moviemakers.Really got me.
We are bound to believe because we we're made ignorant all these years. Every page in the Philippine history is filled with countless stories about shady heroes sensationalized by lines such as " he died to protect the poor". That's since grade school until even college with Rizal's works and life. Should we blame our history teacher then for not researching for other facts?
I remember my Civics and Culture books. These books mentioned Rizal all the time, never about Luna, about Balagtas about Hukbalahap. These books were published by Vibal who happens to be a very wealthy family with real estate business, finance and stock market investment. The Vibals were friends of Marcos and the Cojuangco-Aquino. "Lahat ng oligarkiya nagkakaisa."
The Mass Media is making up something superfluous cover-ups to their Master's benefit. So the "POOR FILIPINOS" were never the Master of their Presidents then, not Pnoy's, not Marcos', not GMA's.
At least its clear that the PRESIDENTIAL POSITION and all these titled shits in the government is the "MASTER OF ALL MASTERS." This spot created a fiendish hunger to every ambitious mongrels in the toxic city. We are living in too many lies. Up until today we have to endure the ignominy.
All these hubbubs made me remember of China's Tiananmen Square Massacre. Their idea was copied from the famous and celebrated People Power for their liberalization and economic reform. Students and other intellectual people joined . But after weeks of starvation and protest, they were sent to their grave by the armies who open fired ( You see, even before the pirated dvd's and disposable phones, China is one hell of a copycat ).
That's not where I am heading. My feeling of being proud to show my color WAS intense. The blazing red, the delightful and joyful yellow,the brave and dependable blue. With Rizal as your National Hero, and Boy Abunda as the Pambansang Spokesperson ng mga Matatalinong Bakla, who wouldn't. But with a cornucopia of stories to degrade the nations pride and proud stature, I had yet to think if its worth it. But yes, China thought it would be a success but failed. Pinoys did it with flying colors and hail marys. The idea was after all made in the Philippines, so it worked only in the Philippines.
There was/is unity although people were/are hungry. There was/is bravery although men were/are dying for injustice. But the appalling stories about the hidden side of history is degrading and almost if not all of us, felt destitute about it.
Well what can you say? Everything is possible now. Like the Al Pacino movie 'SIMONE." He made people believe until the story ends that the famous star SIMONE is a real human being with god given skillsets. After all this is the new age of technology where Plants declare war vs Zombies. Where Birds when angry can throw something at you, literally bigger than them. You can twist a text much more the History of a nation with a few slides of stories, a few 3d generated characters, some borrowed stories from grumps and grannys all put together to form a hypothesis. I guess im gonna have to stop reading old history books and start reading Reader's Digest again, at least the stories are from real people in the real world.
