Πολιτικά / POLITIKA

ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY, ETYMOLOGY IS THE STUDY OF THE ORIGIN OF WORDS AND THE WAY IN WHICH THEIR MEANINGS HAVE CHANGED THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ANY GIVEN WORDS, WE NEED TO TRACE BACK ITS ORIGIN AND USAGE. FOR INSTANCE, THE WORD POLITICS, IT COMES FROM THE GREEK WORD Πολιτικά WHICH MEANS "AFFAIRS OF THE CITIES". AND THOSE WHO STUDY THE AFFAIRS OF THE CITY ARE CALLED POLITICOS OR POLITICIANS.

MERRIAM-WEBSTER DEFINES POLITICS AS THE ART OR SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT. BUT FOR SOME, IT IS MORE OF AN ART THAN SCIENCE. THE TERM POLITICS WAS INTRODUCED BY THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER ARISTOTLE, WHO DEFINED IT AS A  CIVILIZED  FORM OF COMMUNITY.

POLITICS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR MODERN SOCIETY. IT HAS A COMPLEX AND MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE. THERE ARE LOT OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL GROUPS OR SECTORS IN OUR SOCIETY AND THEY ARE DISTINCT AND UNIQUE FROM EACH OTHER. THESE STRUCTURES OPERATES FREELY AND INDEPENDENTLY.

ASIDE FROM THESE MAJOR GROUPS, THERE ARE ALSO CLASSES OR CLUSTERS OF PEOPLE ASSOCIATED THEMSELVES BY A COMMON BELIEFS, IDEALS AND PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE.

NOWADAYS, BECAUSE OF THE POPULARITY AND THE GOOD FORTUNE BROUGHT BY POLITICS, MANY WANTS TO BE A POLITICIAN SETTING ASIDE ITS NOBLE OBJECTIVE. POLITICIANS ARE THE ONES MANAGING THE AFFAIRS OF THE CITY.

THE MAIN GOAL OF POLITICS IS PEACE AND ORDER OF THE NATION. PEACE IS WITHOUT THE ABSENCE OF VIOLENCE BUT CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED WHEN JUSTICE IS SERVE EVERYWHERE.

IN MY 53 YEARS OF EXISTENCE AND FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF MY COMPREHENSION, I HAD SEEN A LOT OF POLITICIANS PERFORMING BADLY AND CONTRARY TO THEIR SWORN DUTY.

POLITICS THEN BECOMES THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS AND SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE PAYING THEM BECOMES LESS AND LESS AND MERE INCIDENTAL.

LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY TODAY! AT PRESENT, WE HAVE US$167 BILLION DEBT THAT COULD BALLOON TO US$450 BILLION UNDER THE BUILD, BUILD, BUILD PROJECT OF THE DUTERTE ADMINISTRATION.

TELL ME NOW WHOSE TO BLAME? POOR JUAN DELA CRUZ! YOUR SONS UP TO COUNTLESS GENERATIONS WILL SHOULDER THE DEBTS EITHER PICK-POCKETED BY THE PEOPLE WE TRUSTED AND PUT INTO POWER NOR BECAUSE OF THEIR MISMANAGEMENT OF THE AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTRY.

WHILE A LOT OF POLITICIANS GETTING RICHER AND THE PEOPLES MONEY WERE STOLEN AND IF THIS POLITICAL LANDSCAPE WILL CONTINUE NOTHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO US.

HAVING SAID THIS, WE ARE NOT HOPELESS, REMEMBER, WE CAN WIPE THEM ALL IN THIS COMING ELECTION. WE KNEW BY HEART THE NON-PERFORMING POLITICIANS AND WE CAN UPROOT THEM.

LET US HELP EDUCATE ONE ANOTHER AND USE THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA AGAINST CORRUPT AND UNFIT POLITICIANS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED AND SOON WILL BE OVER.
