Who's to blame with the flash floods in Metro Manila? Is it the lawmakers [senators and congressmen]? Is it the law implementers [cops, MMDA, etc.]? Is it the citizens [you and me]? No one person or entity between these three entities is solely to blame. It's one problem that was collectively created by all of the above entities not just the cops or the MMDA as some lawmakers point out in an iritating article I just read now [iritating kasi puro pambabatikos ang alam, puro daldal, puro utos, kulang sa personal na kilos], not just the lawmakers or other politicians as some citizens point out and definitely not just the citizens as I normally point out. It's our collective stupidity and stubborness that resulted to such problem and basically all problems we have here and in other parts of the world. So stop pointing fingers as that doesn't solve ANYTHING and start doing little things that will solve problems individually as when we add up our individual efforts, collectively it will have a big positive impact thus positive results to all of us.

I'm no lawmaker but there should be a law that will push implementers to implement the law [forexample about these clearing operations in clogged drains]. A law that should scare citizens [kasi di madala sa magandang usapan eh] to put their litters and garbages in the PROPER places. And for the lawmakers, to be the leader by being a preacher [practicing teacher] by letting your actions do the talking and not your mouth.

I'm not telling anyone to stop talking as I preach as well [one way is via this blog] but don't just talk... Put your teachings into action. That's the measurement of our integrity! Do you wish to minimize or eradicate flash floods? Work and talk don't just talk and talk.
