Jun Lozada’s Message to the Youth
June 1st, 2008 at 1:07 am (General, National Politics, Voices)
After touring the country, giving talks, revealing secrets, earning both praise and criticisms Jun Lozada now takes on blogging. In his first entry, Lozada gives a message to the youth.
People generally find hope in their reality, but our current situation is creating a very strong tension within the general society and amongst the institutions, groups, families and even individuals that makes up this society, a tension of holding on to both living in our reality and holding on to our hope….
Ngunit marami pa ring ayaw bitawan ang kanilang pag-asa na may patutunguhan at may kahihinatnan ang kumilos para sa Bayan, na marami pa ring kapwa Pilipino ang may malasakit sa Bayan, marami pa rin ang gustong umasa na ang kabataan ng bayang Pilipinas ay natututo na mag tanong at mag-isip na hindi na pupwede ang ganitong lipunan, na ayaw na nilang manahin at ipamana pa sa kanilang magiging mga anak ang ganitong klaseng baluktot na sistema ng lipunan.
Ito kabataang Pilipino ang tension na hinaharap ninyo ngayon, tatanggapin niyo ba ang ganitong kasalukuyan? Malulunok niyo ba ang ganitong klaseng pamumuno? Kaya ba ng konsensiya ninyo na malaon-laon kayo na rin ang ninanakawan o nangnanakaw sa Bayan? O ipaglalaban ninyo ang inyong pag-asa na may mas maayos na kinabukasan na pwede ninyong kamtin para sa inyo? Na kaya ninyong baguhin ang baluktot na sistema ng lipunang Pilipino para sa inyong mga anak? Na hindi kayo panghihinaan ng kalooban kahit kayo ay hindi pinakikinggan ng mga nakakatanda sa inyo sa edad ngunit hindi sa pagmamahal sa bayan?
Lozada’s entry is not just a message but a challenge to the youth.
I do not, in any means, endorse Lozada as a hero of sorts. I do, however, believe in his cause. This regime, the prevailing Filipino socio-economic-political situation and mindset CAN BE CHANGED. Change lies not on the current government, not on the ruling class, not on the change of government, not on anything else, but in how we act and react.
Change can happen, if we will it and act for it to happen. Complaints and criticisms can get us a certain point. What is more important and effective is how we change the way we live, the way we treat others, the way we do business.
Lozada may not succeed in spurring change. But we can, individually, collectively.
