That no matter whom we elect, no matter how many times we march in the streets, no matter how noisy our chants are, no matter what type of we protest we perform everything will remain the same. It is the system that needs to be changed. A system that has been there for as long as we can remember, a society that has a rotting core but for some reason it still stands and has stood. Who we need to challenge are not only the leaders but the people themselves, each and every one of us has to take a long good look at ourselves and ask if we are doing our part or are we just being a burden. Criticism and self criticism, but heck as it stands it is only done one way, we just criticize and we look at ourselves as the righteous hapless victims. Whether we like it or not we Filipinos don't want to leave our comfort zones, we are afraid to make sacrifices we are afraid of things we are uncertain of and in the end we shift the blame to other people, we find scapegoats (something we Filipinos are fond of for that matter!). We must learn to stand up and take responsibility! We should always remember change will start from us, change will not come from above and sometimes sacrifices must be made!
