i just realized that i have been a slave to the western line of thought - to be consumerist and to be an individualist to the extent of apathy. i hate it. I just also realized that NCR has the least culture left in the younger generations. These are all revealed at the CEGP Conference/Congress in Davao.
I realized that art or any other medium, is not just used to express one's explosive magnitude of emotion, but to also help others realize that there is a problem in society. I know, it's a very petty thought, but yeah, I just realized that now, despite having drawn propaganda images for the student publication for . ugh.
I also realized that I'm really an asshole in communication, so I don't deserve a degree from my current course. But yeah, too late for that now. Already an incoming fourth year shtudant. ugh.
The lifestyle of today's middle class generation is so... un-Filipino, and I hate it. It's imitating America. like every other country without an economic stronghold does.
The Lumad people are so-called 'indigenous people' living in the Cotabato and the Compostela Valley area. They were driven away from their ancestral lands by force by the military, because their land was rich with gold. The military, the dirty-worker of the government, 'guards' the land for foreign investors to molest and take as their own. Why won't they dig in their own country, you know, if they have IP's there, maybe they can kill them too. Is it a capitalism trend to kill people just to drive them away from lands in their possession for more than a hundred years? Then I guess it's just as rampant as the tamagochi trend back then.
I hope people who have the talent in any form of art would somehow, even for just a bit, stop thinking about their self-gratification through the effective and aesthetically-pleasing expression of individualistic feelings. Start using those brains for a bigger cause. Don't let the 75% of the Philippine population (farmers, workers not yet included) get oppressed any longer. The government needs to be aware that we have to learn to stand on our own, economy-wise. ugh. so saaaaad. I know we can do it. I know that I'm no authority in economics, but i hope that by just limiting the imports we receive from richer countries, or by prioritizing Filipinos in availing our natural resources, we could somehow stabilize our 'saging' economy.
=====================================
that was a random 'tibak' rant from yours truly. I really don't have any organization in mind - that was just an explosion of thoughts... maybe opinions. Yours are welcome at the comments section :D LOVE!
