In less benign terms, mine is a request to every Filipino to refrain from taking the lead in smearing dirt on ourselves, our country, and our leaders, as we thereby run the risk of cutting off or slowing down what could be non-repeatable chances for advancement and progress. We may not have many of these as fortune is not known for repeated smiles; it is fickle and its sunny visage may suddenly become a frown when we rebuff its beneficent offers.
I did not really mind the articles written by foreign authors; I could see that many of them wrote with incomplete background information about us, or with less than genuine journalistic intent. Part of free speech and journalism, I often dismissively told myself, although I also agreed with some of their views and insights.
I always thought – why can’t these kababayans be sensible, fair, and reasonable, at least to the country and its people, who are not guilty or complicit in the deeds attributed to political opponents they had already beaten and discredited? Are political battles really eternal flames that must be stoked and kept burning through a constant flow of bittervile?
