Ramdam ko ang Pagasenso

You will see banners, streamers and advertisement all around. But who says it? Maybe the President should go out of Malacanang for a while and look around and find out for herself where is the "asenso" that she used to talk about.

Prices of prime commodities, petroleum, utilities are rising, more and more people are getting hungry, unemployment rate are ever increasing, buying power of peso goes down to its lowest ever in history. Now, where is the "asenso"?

Corruption in the government are rampant. Those who can pay have easy access to public service. Permits, licenses and tax rates are un-affordable. Now, where is the "asenso"?

Efficient and comfortable transportation. Where is it? Is it the over crowded couches of MRT with no aircon and defective escalators, manned with arrogant staff? Is that the "asenso" she's talking about?

There are abundant rice. Where? Why can't they sell more than two kilos per person? or three or five kilos. Yes, the price is so affordable, but what about the quality? And why the buying public, the consumer has to go through long lines before being able to buy? Is that the quality of service we deserve? Now, where is the "asenso"?

If that is the "asenso" they are talking about, then Philippines must be so rich.
