This
article entitled, The Talented Senator Bong Revilla”, opened my eyes about the
world of corruption, and how politicians are so impure and so evil, that they
think they can manipulate us in their own hands, but this article also made me
realized that the Filipinos today, with the help of the issue of PDAF Scam, is
now strong and bold enough to take a stand just to fight for the right and just.
Also, this article challenged me to use highfalutin words.
A speech of
privilege, which was also an ultimate goodbye to Senator Bong Revilla’s confreres,
turned out to cover his face with what he think would make himself look good
and naïve regarding to his plunder case. This speech – a speech that is
sympathy-begging, heart hauling, innocence asserting and mind fooling, didn’t
fulfilled its goal because the countrymen he tried to lure with his odorous
speech wasn’t lured at all, but instead smelled an unpleasant odor of anger and
hatred against him.
In the eyes of the public, his speech made him
look guilty, because he keeps on denying his crime by announcing many good
things that opposes what he had done. As stated in Basigan’s article, “A true statesman,
albeit (even though) a guilty one, would have apologized for his sins of
plunder, returned the funds that were stolen, resign from office and face the
consequences mandated by the law.” But no! Instead, he used this privileged
speech to make himself as if he was angry, aggressive, oppressed and innocent.
Also, he used his privileged speech before for his aim to expose names of his
accusers, those who belong in the administration, to accompany him in his real
state – he was drowning in a quicksand of consequences. With this article, I
conclude that Revilla isn’t a man of nobility.
For a man who suspended
his little show into a song, and was an entertainer on his own speech of enticement
to the Filipinos, the writer concluded his article in a folly way, that Senator
Bong Revilla is talented both inside out.
