Claudian's Corner

Today’s roller-coaster ride of current events brings us to the fold of activity and dormancy, a form of retrospection that will lead us to social dynamism. All the time record-high of unprecedented occurrences unfold each day, and worst yet these pressing concerns are welcomed only by shivers of indolence and shrugs of disregard. We, Filipinos, continually seek for reforms. But, in stark reality, reforms are utterly used for dismissive stunts and unfounded beliefs for change thus, the downsizing and victimization of the misrepresented come into play.

With history in the making, we simply cry for increasing food shortages, snort for soaring prices of basic commodities, abd sigh for growing noise of horror-stricken Mindanao, or, to say the truth, we merely cover our ears and strike our breast. Apparently, we become too engaged pushing ourselves through the usual ways, as if nothing happened. This should not be the perfect case.

In every turn of events, it is indicative for us to forge practical solutions with urgency and spontaneity in eliminating what we blindly considered as social problems not of our interest, a widespread dilemma that calls for effectual collective drive. However, it does not necessarily portray that the parliament of streets and black propaganda should be given top mechanism, for this only results divisiveness and formation of indifferences.

To ignore what is evident is to allow the cycle of viciousness and deception to continue to happen.

The country, although shaken with tsunami of problems, needs a direction through its sovereign people that will spur a positive collectivism of social involvement not cause-driven movements, the resource of which comes from peaceful, diminutive and yet valuable ways.
