A post by Justice Tony Carpio: When are we( Filipinos) going to put an end to this?* THE BLIND LEADING THE LOST: A NATION BETRAYED
"He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." – Martin Luther King, Jr.
The halls of Congress and the Senate reek of betrayal. This is no longer just a circus—it is a grand heist (PANDARAMBONG), a vicious mockery of the Filipino people's sacrifices. While we break our backs, bleed, and sacrifice for this nation, our so-called leaders are busy looting not just our wealth but our very dignity. Their spectacle of greed and indifference has condemned 119 million Filipinos to despair. They are no leaders—they are traitors.
Blind to the needs of the nation, leading us to a chasm of hopelessness. A RUTHLESS BETRAYAL Let us not mince words—this is treason. When Congress butchered billions from education, they didn’t just adjust a spreadsheet. They tore futures from the hands of Filipino children. They shattered the dreams of students who saw education as their only escape from the clutches of poverty.
They sabotaged a nation’s chance to rise, condemning generations to mediocrity and despair. Article XIV of our Constitution mandates that education receive the highest budgetary priority. Yet these cowards violated the law with impunity.
They robbed the classrooms, burned the books, and locked the gates of learning. Our dismal global ranking in Math, Science, and Reading is no accident. It is a crime. It is murder—the murder of our children’s potential.
HEALTHCARE: THE FIRST CASUALTY
Zero funding for PhilHealth in 2025 is not just negligence—it’s malice. It’s as if Congress has declared war on the poor. How many parents will have to bury their children because they couldn’t afford a doctor? How many breadwinners will be crippled by illness, left to rot because our healthcare system has been gutted?
PhilHealth is not a "reserve fund" for their thieving hands to dip into. It is the lifeblood of millions of Filipinos who cling to it in their most desperate hours. The Universal Health Care Act clearly mandates sin taxes to support PhilHealth. They violated that too. What do they call this? Mismanagement? No, this is state-sanctioned cruelty.
THE FARCE OF AKAP And now, the "Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program" (AKAP) comes along—a shameless election bribe dressed as charity. P26 billion stolen from education and healthcare, disguised as aid, but in reality, it’s ammunition for the corrupt to cement their power.
They will toss these scraps to the people during election season while millions of Filipinos starve, bleed, and suffer. Do they think we are blind? Do they think we cannot see this brazen, cynical ploy for what it is? Every peso wasted on AKAP is another peso stolen from classrooms, hospitals, and roads. It’s another dagger in the back of the Filipino people.
OUR SILENCE MAKES US COMPLICIT But perhaps the greatest betrayal is our own. Our silence feeds their arrogance. Why are we not in the streets? Why do we allow these thieves to gut our nation while we watch from the sidelines? Is it fear? Apathy? Exhaustion?
Whatever the reason, our passivity emboldens them. Every moment of silence is a betrayal of the nation we claim to love.
Even our SUPREME COURT, the supposed guardian of justice, stands paralyzed—too terrified of congressional wrath to do their duty. Where is the justice for the oppressed when even the judiciary cowers? When justice is silent, tyranny thrives.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH This is no longer about politics—it’s about survival. They are dismantling our nation, brick by brick, peso by stolen peso. And unless we fight back, they will leave nothing behind but ashes and despair.
But there is hope. We, the people, are the true power of this nation. We can end this betrayal. We can demand accountability. We can take back what is rightfully ours—a government that serves, not plunders.
THE TIME TO FIGHT IS NOW If we remain silent, we deserve the ruin that follows. But if we rise—if we unite and act—we can reclaim this nation from the thieves and traitors who have hijacked it.
Let our anger be our fuel. Let our indignation spark a revolution of accountability.
The question is not if we can fight back. The question is, will we fight back before it’s too late?
For every peso stolen, for every dream crushed, for every life lost—we must demand justice. This betrayal must end. This theft must end. This silence must end. The time to act is now.
