Great. Martial law has been declared down south, where the thugs at. So what are the repercussions? More government control, repressed civilian sentiment, and the possibility of more guerillas rising up to the present administration. Oh and did I mention sad, sad tourism figures? A lot of foreigners like the South. Mountains, beaches, friendly faces. Not anymore. And as our bad rap snowballs, it's possible that they will also stop going to Cebu, or Baguio, or Palawan. Guillaume is in Coron right now and claims to enjoy his stay. There are thousands like him who keep coming back to our beloved archipelago because they know they can fly back to their countries alive; it's really not that bad in the Philippines. But I'm afraid that we blew our chances of getting new tourists to come. Those who have just seen us on the map and are still considering exploring our islands probably crossed us out and are contemplating going to Bali or Phuket instead. Well done. And that is why I am indifferent to the so-called democracy that we are supposedly proud of. And that is why I am abroad, working my butt off. The only good thing about this is, Noynoy and Bongbong are both questioning the motive behind the declaration of martial law. And that means PGMA will have more sleepless nights. Welcome to my world, Gloria.
