The City Department Heads and Administrator with our City Mayor Jose Enrique S. Garcia III during 2011 National Independence Day.

The celebration of National Independence Day was coined to the word FREEDOM! This is the sweetest end product of our sovereignty that we attained through the honor of our National Heroes. The 113th Independence Day celebration is equivalent to the count of blood and tears that drops on our heroes lifeless body to fight for our freedom. Today, we are literally free and somehow independent but not with our skeptic mind. I myself is a prisoner of thought that PHL economy cannot make it on top like Singapore or Japan unless we choose to free our self from the common illness of this society. Poverty, poor bureaucracy, Oppression, plenty of unemployed OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker), graduates and poor political system wherein leaders of this nation common practice is blatantly attacked their political enemy in front of national television so that they will stand out! Common guys, walk your talk!  Is that you Mr. P------t? Our present economy is like a walking exhausted turtle. I sometimes discourage myself to neither hear nor watch current news on television as it really depressed me seeing people from all walks of life suffer from various situational problems. I know most of you will tell me that it is too easy for me to say this entire thing.  You would say that our leaders also have too many things to consider. Ok it is a given fact, but what is their priority? Put all the thieves in Jail?! Then what’s next?! They almost forgot the fact that we have other issues to attend too, we have mouths to feed, children to educate, illness to treat, etc? If our heroes foresee this current scenarios of our country, I am 100% sure that they will not think of the thought to offer their lives if this is just the life that we can give to their kin. Then I am now starting to ask myself, what is my contribution then? As Abraham Lincoln said “I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause”. I need to work double time. What’s yours then?
