Anything is possible at this point

September 13, 2018 by Atty. Abeto A. Salcedo Jr.

I was glued on television last Tuesday, watching at President Rodrigo Duterte addressing the various concerns of the nation.

I was watching a grim-faced but combative President, various degrees of dismay on his face, he was in a sorry state of resignation, he talked with humility and awe.

He speaks his heart, manifesting his desire to defend a nation where hunger and political starvation is real.

But politics, yes! politicians the ex future leaders who wanted to grab power and their cohorts never ceased to make moves for a power grab.
The Yellows, some segment of the media, the clerics, the oligarchs, NPA-NDF, the Trillanes-led Magdalo and his heir apparent Alejano who look like a Siamese twin. These, fragments have now come together into a synthesis, and a new entity emerges with enormous determination to hold together.

These enemies are now flipping the paradigm of peace and progress, really creates total chaos, pulling down our government, and leaving behind a divided ruin. How could these power hungry protect the country’s interest is difficult to fathom.

They are advancing their own agenda by sowing disorder and pushing everyone to the drain, Claiming to make our country great again? The law of unintended consequences is surely in play.

I certainly don’t know what concessions President Duterte can make at this point, he almost has nothing left anymore except his sincere desire to build a strong nation, a nation where there is peace and love amongst people.

The Filipinos are now asking you Mr. President, what is your plan, what have you got up your sleeve, if there is anything? Whatever it is, you have to do it quick and fast. Your people, believes in your strength and your capacity, they are behind you, you are not alone.

The situation is now equivalent to a skull offering before the stratospheric banquet of history, it must be set aside and ordered removed from the annals of this fledgling country. My beloved President, your decision, whatever it is, will only be either we win as a nation, or we are going to crumble.

In every tick-tack on the clock that you will passively sit and watch, the damages to our country accumulate. In every break that he will take, every minute, every second, the enemies will creep in range inch by inch toward our grave of disaster.

The threat posed by the ENEMIES has shifted, from being potential to immediate; from being serious to existential. Now, LET’S STOP IT.
