Bigger Things

I'm beginning to hate watching the news. I always like being in the know about what' shappening in the country. Now I'm beginning to realize "how" controlled the media is. I've been shuffling between Channel 2 and Channel 7 but I don't even see the news about US funding being withheld mainly because of corruption. I think that this is one big news that ALL networks should be having a special about.

Instead I see the boat that sunk in Cagayan and the fire in Makati. I don't mean to be insensitive to the "victims" but this is old news recycled. This has happened before. It's not the first time that a boat sank because of overloading nor a row of wooden houses burnt down because the firefighters could not pass through the small alleys.

What I'm trying to say is maybe it's time for us to think about the bigger things in life that affect us. Overloading is not new because we are an overpopulated country. This is not an issue about boat operators putting too many people in one boat because that is a given fact, because we are overpopulated and our facilities are not that well developed. It all stems from the bigger picture of overpopulation and corruption. When are we ever going to learn?
