The four horsemen of the flood control apocalypse
The Freeman
|September 18, 2025
We all know that the apocalypse, as described in the Book of the Revelation, is the final, complete and total destruction of the world.
Its purveyors are four horsemen representing famine, war, calamities and pestilence. The raging imbroglio on flood control anomalies can also bring forth the total ruin of the nation. We need to pinpoint, to shame and to conscientize the four masterminds of this huge shenanigan.
The four horsemen, by analogy and metaphor, may be called the four elephants in the room, to exercise a little mercy and compassion to these scoundrels. The first horseman is the personification of the trapos belonging to political dynasties and political elite, let us just call them honorable senators and honorable congressmen who landed in Congress courtesy of unthinking voters. These voters whose votes were either bought, or their loyalty compelled, hoodwinked or coerced or cajoled by the pressures of "utang na loob," patronage and transactional politics.
