The people's rage! My personal anger

“We area country enraged!” This is how Ican best summarize the words of Professor Clarita Carlos when she was interviewed by two gentlemen anchors of the Manila station dwIZ which interview was carried live on stream thru the wonders of the internet.

Wikipedia reports that Carlos isa political scientist, commentator, academic, and educator who last served as national security adviser under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., from 2022 to 2023.

Carlos actually verbalized my personal feeling of our national situation. I cannot assume that this is the same anger of our countrymen. The thoughts she expressed in the broadcast, even if spiced with laughter every now and then, were too profound for my ordinary man’s mind. So to avoid the risk of misreading or misrepresenting the complex socio-philosophical declarations which she spoke of, on air, | will talk, not of our countrymen’s rage, but of my own personal anger. Every bit of what is printed here in this column today is mine. I will not claim it as being uttered or felt by someone else. I will be held solely accountable for everything that I write here today.
