If we are to remember the last election, we see so that the Genuine Opposition, a senatorial ticket which bore the famous acronym PLAN Co REVOLT, won 8 out of the 12 slots, making them dominate the Senate of the Philippines.

As they took their oaths, we see so that they really made a planned major revolt; but is that revolt for the better or worse? To list their famous exploits since the start of the 14th Congress one by one is the thing needed to see so.

As anyone can remember, the unforgettable siege in the Manila Peninsula which took place just last December was such a horrifying thing. The students in their own classes that time already heard that one of the former opposition candidates, Senator Antonio Trillanes, IV, together with prestigious personalities and co-mutineers from the Magdalo took such a careless step by taking over another place. Guns were even fired and tanks were forced to break the barriers just to let them out of their lairs until millions of pesos were lost because of the accommodations which should happen that day also and the damages which they made.

Another one was the very controversial broadband deal in which they held a man named Jun Lozada to brainwash the fools and weaklings of the nation. We see so that the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee under the leadership of Senator Allan Peter Cayetano, who was also a candidate of Genuine Opposition, took the courts into our legislature. Inter-faith prayer rallies and so many other “trips for the nation’s awakening” were even funded by themselves despite the “death threat”; but thank God that some people have a great power of reason to question those testimonies. The famous constitutionalist critic, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, was so brave to say that the courageous man did nothing but to cry in front of the people though he would still not be able to convince the wise. Some others even said that he was such a big liar because a person with a death threat would not try to go out and have some good time through golfing.

And now, see their plans to make something unconstitutional ones again by letting an ousted president run for the elections in 2010.

They made such a revolt, but their revolt was so blind and selfish because they never see that what they did was still not for the common men. The thing they did was truly against the common men for it used the status quo. The ones above still go higher and the ones below are still stepped upon by the ones above. Nothing happened at all.

Because of that blind revolt, the society really has a very critical cancer right now for they joined such a blind legion and they would die in either ways. Now that it is too late to stop that blind revolt, quo vadis?
