Some dirts are true

All I see on TV these days are all bickering and trash talking. Seriously, their mindless accusations are getting tiresome, but it doesn't necessarily mean all those mudslinging are fake.

In fact, mudslinging happens because there are some parts of that dirt that are true. For example, Aquino's Hacienda Luisita estate. Even if he said he owns a very small share, he still owns part of it. He could have convince his family to give up on the estate right now instead of halfheartedly promising it when he becomes president. And you know his track record about promises.

Villar's C5-road issue, coupled by past "shady" business deals have been hounding him for the past months. It was impossible for Villar not to know about the road project going to his property or how it manages to GO into his company. He could have just allowed the extension project to his property without cost if he really wanted to help the country.

Teodoro, on the other hand is plagued by Arroyo's kiss of death and his stint as the National Defense Secretary. He might have one of the best educational background, but his actions while in office puts him behind. If he really want to lift the people from poverty (especially in Mindanao), then he should have removed the civilian armies (since he knew the problem all along) and lift Mindanao from the bloodshed and fear.

While some of the mudslinging are just black propaganda, there must have been something within that person to inspire that dirt.

Why do we rely on these people who, even before the elections, are covered in dirt. They don't answer their issues, nor help the country. They just like to throw these dirt at each other to entertain the masses.

What we really need today is someone not thrown in dirt. Someone who has the skills to run the country. Someone who do not attack others below the belt. Someone who do not shift sides in fear of public opposition. Someone who thinks about the country first, before themselves. That's what we need today.
