"Ramdam ang Kaunlaran", ang mga katagang mababasa sa mga latest na posters / streamers ng ating pangulo… Madami kang makikitang iba pang kataga na aakalain mong comedy dahil tila wala namang katotohanan, at ang nakakainis pa nito, buwis ng bayan ang ginagamit para sa pag papagawa ng kalintikang poster na ito…

Sa totoo lang marami pang version yang mga poster na yan, di ko lang matandaan yung iba eh, merong "pagkain sa bawat mesa" etcetera etcetera… Makikita ang mga tinamaan ng magaling na poster na ito along Roxas Blvd, at sa buong LRT Line 1.

Bakit ba kailangan pang mag pagawa naman ng mga poster na ganito? nakakatulong ba to sa kaunlaran ng bansa? E sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mga poster na ito naiinis lang ako kasi naiisip ko na yung tax na binayaran ko nung kumain ako sa Jollibee eh dito lang sa walang kwentang bagay napupunta.

Isa pang bagay, may mga TV ads version din ang mga poster na to, bwisit talaga. Pinagmamalaki sa mga TV ads na ito na tumataas ang GDP ng Pilipinas bawat taon dahil sa kanyang pamamalakad… Hayaan nyong ipaliwanag ko ang pag taas ng GDP ayon sa aking sariling pananaw. Maaaring mali ako dahil hindi naman ako ekonomista, pero, basta, gusto ko ipaliwanag eh…. hehe.

Dahil sa hirap ng buhay dito sa Pilipinas, maraming pinoy ang umalis ng ating bansa para sa ibang bansa mag hanap buhay… At dahil maraming umalis ng Pinas, maraming nag reremit ng Dollar sa Pinas… At sa pagkakaalam ko, pag maraming dollar na pumapasok sa pinas, mas tumataas ang GDP, ewan ko, basta ganun pag kakaintindi ko… To make things short: Pag mas maraming remitances, mas gumaganda ang lagay ng Piso kontra dolyar…

Ang nakakatawa nito, Madam president is taking all the credit for what the OFW has done for our country, instead of giving the credit to them. (English! Papa cheese burger ako…). Bakit mo aakuin ang ginawa ng iba para sayo? hehe. eh kaya nga sila pumupunta ng ibang bansa eh dahil sa kahirapan ng buhay dito, tas ipag mamalaki sa TV ads na gumaganda ang ekonomiya? hehe. Comedy talaga.

Isa pa nga pala tong si Bayani Fernando, muntik ko nang makalimutan… Yung mga poster mo po, mas malaki pa yung picture mo kesa dun sa mensahe sa mga poster ng MMDA. Na sa tingin ko eh ni hindi naman makakatulong sa kaayusan ng Metro Manila… Hindi obvious na tatakbo ka sa 2010 election.

Prologue (Poem)
When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Prologue (Interpreted)
When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky

Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Act I (Poem)
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

Act I (Interpreted)
The infinite mystery
The gift of the goddess is what the three men seek
But their fates are scattered by war

One becomes a hero, one wanders the land
And the last is taken prisoner

But the three are still bound by a solemn oath
To seek the answer together, once again

Act II (Poem)
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Act II (Interpreted)
Though the prisoner escapes, he is gravely wounded
His life is saved, however
By a woman of the opposing nation

He begins a life of seclusion with her
Which seems to hold the promise of eternal bliss

But as happiness grows, so does guilt
Of not fulfilling the oath to his friends

Act III (Poem)
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Act III (Interpreted)
As the war sends the world hurtling towards destruction
The prisoner departs with his newfound love
And embarks on a new journey

He is guided by hope that the gift will bring bliss
And the oath that he swore to his friends

Though no oath is shared between the lovers
In their hearts they know they will meet again

Act IV (Poem)
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world’s end
The wind sails over the water’s surface
Quietly, but surely

Act V (Poem)
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice
