Mood: political

Today, the much celebrated case of former President Erap finally came to a conclusion (indefinitely that is, since Erap's camp could still appeal to the higher court). He was proclaimed guilty of plunder with which he was sentenced reclusion perpetua to death. A lot of Filipinos are probably rejoicing with the court's decision. At last, the corrupt former president who they themselves have brought down from office (and who they themselves too have put to office by the highest number of votes in Philippine election history, mind you. how ironic.) by marching off at EDSA is now, after six long years, sentenced and paying for the consequences of his betrayal to the nation.

But then, there are also others who may think otherwise. Could this event truly signal something big in Philippine history? I mean, will this change anything at all in a society infested with thousands of other corrupt individuals outside prison bars? What about those people who are still freely pursuing their unlawful operations? Sure they aren't about to teminate their illegal acts any time soon. Yes, Erap was only ONE among them. With this continuing condition, when will the Filipino people truly gain justice?

Moreover, when will Filipinos ever realize that democracy doesn't mean flocking at EDSA and screaming for impeachment whenever they find the system unfavorable? Will the idea of establishing cooperation with the administration ever hit their sleeping minds?

Think about it.

Hmm. And what could Mr. Estrada be thinking right now? He's probably regretting that fateful day when entering politics came to his mind. Oh how he must miss his swash-buckling and peaceful movie days.
