As A Nation

The Philippines.

We are nation of angry people. We are those that detest art that we think is detrimental to our spirituality. We protest on national establishments to show our disgust to those whoever we wish to direct our anger to. We spit, we burn everything but bibles to show we hate Lady Gaga or The Killers. We admire our own artists after they were only admired by the international press.

We bully, we fight, we cripple those who we think are unrighteous. We will grill Korina Sanchez until she learns how to cry herself to sleep. We will make Noynoy Aquino’s last strands of hair fall out because of our constant criticisms of his government. We glorify churches that cripple our right to sexuality education.

We are a country of extremes.

And then there are those who sit back, relax, and just enjoy all of these goddamn shows.
