Power Slip Showing

Secure power utility, secure political power. This must have been the working slogan in the twilight of a turbulent power ride. The riders refuse to see the dusk setting in. They want to light up the darkening sky by controlling the power sector. Declare Martial Law first is a lesson learned from the past. There's no need, the greedy minds coax. Everything in the military seems under control. Political savvy is what we're going to use. Assign a lapdog to the energy department, a bloodhound to chair the energy committee, the ex-lawyer of the lord to the energy regulatory board and start up the GOCC to gang-up on the the private power utility or better yet rob them blind out of the power firm. This would be messy and costly but we are survivors. And so the saga of the growling tiger ride continues surrounded by wolves in robes with vultures hovering for the kill. The lord meanwhile is having a ball. The weak in heart should adopt slowly a fetal position. The brave should start to act. The comedians shouldn't worry, the show goes on and on. Pinoys are slow to learn because the national animal before, the water buffalo survives and is now upgraded while the pinoy eagle the national bird after the maya has no place to wander and is now bred in cage. We're full of welts from the lashes of tyranny and we still prefer to wait. That's pinoy's wisdom. Bahala na si Bathala.
