rePost::Pagbabago and what it really means to us, Pinoys | Filipino Voices

Aquino and Villar do not offer “pagbabago”–they offer an “exchange” or only “palitan”—from an administration dominated by one elite group to another. They want their elite groups to transpose the existing one.
Worst, are the two remaining presidentiables, namely Teodoro and Gordon who offer the worst form of “pagbabago”. There is nothing transformative about Gordon’s “transformative politics”, read his platform—there’s no “transformative ideas” there–only motherhood statements.
Gordon wants to barter and what’s worst, he will be bartering our very futures when he becomes president. What Gordon offers is what we call “cosmetic change”–he wants nothing more than changes in the exterior aspect of our life.
Teodoro offers new leadership only, the kind which we have been accustomed to since nine years ago. Nothing about pagbabago as we want or aspire for—more of “transactional” change. In fact, Teodoro wants Gloria to be on his side when he wins and that is so evident in his public statements. Teodoro represents grossly traditional or G.T. politics.
Who, then, holds the right interpretation of “pagbabago” ? Is Erap Estrada, who did not attend the forum, offers us the “pagbabago” which we so desperately seek?
No. Estrada just wants to continue what he failed to finish. He offers nothing new, except perhaps, a new face?
Who, then, holds the right interpretation of “pagbabago”?
