The Chief Justice on Trial : The Newest and Hottest Drama on TV

For me, the newest and hottest drama to premiere on TV yesterday was not the well-plugged telenovelas from the local Kapamilya or Kapuso channels. This one, however, is more real and the effects more relevant to the nation. I have refrained from posting much about political issues and I want to keep it that way. However, I will definitely try to follow and keep posted on what's the latest on this real-life drama that we're witnessing on TV. As a concerned citizen, I am one in hoping and praying that whatever the outcome of this trial would be, it would be for the best interest of the entire nation and the Filipino people. If you're not too familiar with the issue, below is a related article posted on The Wall Street Journal about the CJ on Trial.

I don't usually meddle in talks about Philippine politics. Sure I have an opinion or two just like the rest of the citizens of the nation, but I prefer to reserve my opinions to myself and comment privately instead of reacting violently on any public forum. Instead of detailing the issue at hand, just click on the two article links from above and read more about the topic. 

 

Philippine politics is truly interesting, with all the fanfare (a spectacular public display) and drama. It sometimes beats all the teleserye (soap operas) we love to watch on TV. The main difference is the teleserye we watch tend to have happy endings and the protagonist always wins in the end. In real life, however, how do we know who the protagonists or antagonists are? We sometimes represent opposing viewpoints, both of which could be valid and acceptable. The above-mentioned topic did leave a few questions on my mind... can the public still trust the Supreme Court? Given IF they were allowed to leave, would the Arroyos ever come back? Were the Arroyos in a rush to leave the country? (Sorry but it appeared that way to me!) Well, one thing for sure, this is one drama that should not be missed. We don't know how it would end, but I do hope and pray that whatever comes out of all the hype, the Filipino people would win in the end. ^_^
