I used to be a leftist in my younger years, when I still don't understand fully how hard it is to be a leader in the PH (I still don't have the total understanding of it even to this day because I am no expert of anything). I mean, I opposed everything about the national and local government before. I even had the same attitude towards the administration of our university. I almost did not graduate because of writing a defamatory press release in our college paper against the admin, in the pursuit of awakening minds in the university, and on the other hand conniving with a leftist group that brainwashed many youth about how bad the national government was. I was constantly looking for loopholes and proving I was right all the time. THOSE WERE THE DAYS THAT I AM NOT REALLY PROUD OF..
I thought, there are wise strategies to take for every battle and that too much talking (especially back-talking) and unnecessary complaining were not among them. Jesus said to the pharisees, "give to Caesar what is Caesar's.." He was talking about submitting to who is in charge no matter what you believe in. So whoever is in charge, let him be, for that person will be accountable to God.
If I can only boast of anything now, It is Christ's love, grace, and mercy that is continually bringing out what is best...We are all in the process. Things may be ugly now, but for sure, great things are yet to come! Just do what is right in God's perspective .
PS: Don't be too quick to react. this post is not about you. it is my own reflection about President Duterte's recent address. :)
