A CURVE ON THE STRAIGHT PATHOne thing I have never contemplated about, since a new administration took place is the possibility of hearing once again unbearable issues involving the government.During the 2010 Presidential Elections Campaign, his excellency, Benigno Aquino III truly made a mark on the Filipino nation through his tagline, the Daang Matuwid, making him elected on the office of the Prsident with a landslide victory, giving every Filipino who believed in his advocacy a wave of hope for him to curb corruption and government anomalies and to finally eliminate the unpleasant image of the countrys political system. In his early years of sit on the top of the ruling body, there is no doubt that Aquinos fight against corruption started at the previous Arroyo administration. Statistics also showed that there is indeed an improvement on the state of our economy. According to them, unemployment rate was reduced, paving more job opportunities to every Filipino. GNP is also reported to have an increase during his leadership. But in the mid of his term, curves on his straight path were suddenly becoming visible on the eyes of the nation. Making all of us think if his SONAs even addressed the real state of the nation.Loopholes just became very obvious that the presidents platform on his Daang Matuwid was ruined.The first loophole discovered was on the controversial Development Acceleration Program (DAP), replacing the Priority Disbursement Acceleration Fund (PDAF), reported unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and was then is concluded to be an avenue for the President to accomplish its simple corruption scheme.And now another major issue the Aquino administration is facing is the January 24 Mamasapano surge where an abrupt number of PNP SAF commandos died. After conducting several senate hearings regarding the incidents, names of different official arouse, notably the president himself as the one who broke the chain of command.At present, the issue on the Mamasapano Surge continues to progress for a clear understanding on who is really to be blamed.Rampant government related issues in the country nowadays becomes very alarming. It has been a major problem for us to face since its the governmentments credibility to take control over the countrys problem that is being tested in times like this.But it seems like its really the government that should fix itself first.

Power Amidst PainLife without problems is compared to a classroom without a teacher- youll never learn something.If theres one thing that guaranteed in life, it is the fact that were all going to face that point in our lives when well experience a situation that will define our endurance. There was this young girl who once believed in happy ever after- perhaps influenced by fairy tales. She was raised by her parents picturing a future without any burdens to face, just scenarios that portrays a worry free life together with her parents.Days passed, the young girls being only child ended as a little boy added to the family, making them more optimistic in facing their everyday lives together.Their life continued as a family comparable to those read in fairy tales, novels, etc.- only a picture of a family that sticks together.Both children slowly reach puberty stage while enjoying their elementary days in a barangay elementary school where their parents enrolled them. Theyve been consistent excelling students in the school making their parents very proud of the way they have raised their children- truly a blessing to be considered.But as hands of time passed by, life slowly offers series of challenges in life anyone could never contemplate.Living in this growing world seems to become a little hard for the family. Its not just the love that matters now. Thinking practically towards the different aspects in life is the best way in order to sustain life.At first were just simple misunderstandings, slowly becoming arguments that turned out to frequent quarrels, which eventually led to an inevitable fall of a wonderful marriage.It was very difficult on the part of both children to face such situation- just watching their parents go on separate ways without anything to with it.The young girl just cant completely comprehend what exactly was the reason why theyre suddenly put into that kind of situation when all that surrounded their family was love and bliss. She just cant afford to see their family fall apart. She never knew the true problem until she reached the age of 14. The unpleasant part of her knowing the truth is that no one ever dared to explain to her the real happenings; she just discovered it by herself. All of the things she found out were just very unacceptable.At first, she didnt let the fact sink in to her senses for she always believed on the chance that someday, somehow, their family will be reunited. The girl thought of ways for her parents to consider reconciling. The worst thing she ever tried to do is rebel. She thought that keeping the attention of her parents on her acts of rebel caused by the situation will make her parents fix their problems. But then on second thought she considered that as the dumbest idea shell ever do.A problem will never be solved by creating another problem. She was left with nothing but to just accept the fact that theyll never be together and that even though the situation is painful she must move on with life.Moving on with life has been very difficult for me. Ive been through a lot of hard situation as I grew old with the absence of a father, seeing my mother striving to earn a living for me and my brother, and to endure a life with a broken family. But as a guiding principle in life, these hardships just made me boost the best in me, despite all of the pain, I must keep on moving on with life, nothing should be a hindrance for me in pursuing my dreams. Instead of taking the pain as a factor for my downfall, Ill take these circumstances as a motivation for me to be better.
