Recently, there has been a grave disaster in China, where a big earthquake killed nearly 12,000 people (according to yahoo). Almost immediately our president made a decision to send a medical team to china. I dont mean to belittle this decision made by our super president but i think she is forgetting the fact that china is one of the big economies of the world and that it has all the resources to help its citizens in this disaster. It has, as of the moment, dispatched 50,000 of its soldiers to help its citizens affected by the tragedy. Why did our president made this impulsive decision when in fact we have our own problems at bar. Is she forgetting that visayas region is also under calamity and experiencing flash floods? Why not send the medical team there and help those people, why? because one problem in evacuation areas is that people there will, in a matter of time, be sick because of the environment.
Quoting the words of Golez from ABS-CBN news "Every time we have disasters in the country, all you have to do is count the hours and China's support is always there". And our people is grateful for the help China is bringing. I am not being selfish nor self-centered but one of the job of the government and a reason for its existence is to help its people. There is a saying that you must first help yourself before you can help others, certainly, this is not on the vocabulary of our super president. This maybe is one of the reason why so many Filipinos dislikes its own president. It cares more for others then its own citizens. Here is an irony, when i am visiting my beloved province of Pampanga, i always see the slogan of our super president that she cares, "GMA cares...." i think they forgot to include the word "others".
Analyzing the bold diplomatic move of the president, maybe, she is thinking that china will help Philippines in coming weeks, because its already the rainy season and floods will again "flood" the Philippines, literally. Its like planting the good old seed of kindness, so that later she can reap these seeds to help its citizen because our government is to a certain point inutile in helping its own people. Why? Because money to help is being pocketed by our beloved officials, its sad to think that Philippines cant help its own citizens due to rampant corruption.
