3 rules

Yesterday, Sr. Edna shared to us what Bro. Luistro (did I get that right?! The "head" of all La Salle schools) said about him joining the protests against GMA's presidency. What he said was that he needed to act. He needed concrete action. He can't just wait and see what will happen next in this country and he realized this while giving one of his talks. He was then talking about the saying give a man a fish and you will give him food for a day, but teach a man how to fish and you will give him food for a lifetime. Then an audience asked him, what if all the fish are gone? That was then that he realized he needed to do something and he did. He joined this group (I forgot the name, sorry. But its Bukluran thingy) that would support the impeachment of GMA. He even had these 3 rules we should live by:

1. DON'T CHEAT - we all know it's bad to cheat
2. DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO CHEAT - for it is in small things that big things start
3. STAND FOR THE TRUTH - because the truth is always for the better

and i've realized that

...that the impeachment should push through. Why? Because we, citizens of this country, have the right to know if our leader cheated or not. I've realized that a leader who cheats isn't a good leader. Would you want to have a leader who cheats? Isn't that a disgrace? Not only that, a leader should set as an example for everyone and cheating hasn't, isn't and will never be a good example. If GMA didn't cheat whatsoever, why should she be scared of the impeachment, not unless she lied and she actually did cheat. (Yesm I believe she did. Actually, I believe most of them did.) But the question remains, if she gets impeached, who will lead the country? I've come to realize that the question of "who will lead the country?" is easy to answer. Why? I would repeat the question I've mentioned earlier, would you like a leader who cheats? Should we accept a cheater? As Bro. Luistro puts it, example there's a student who cheated, would you just let it pass? Of course not. Same thing goes here, it's just that it's the president of the country who is being questioned, not an ordinary student. As far as I know, since we were young, we were taught that we should NEVER cheat. Our parents and teachers taught us that cheating is bad, it's the same as stealing. Cheating was never allowed since then. It's forbidden by our schools but most especially, by God. So now, I say that the impeachment should push through. But whatever happens, I believe that God wil never leave this country. Let's just pray and believe that we will know the truth sooner or later.
