Blogging and Democracy

Ayel

THE BLOGOSHPERE is where democracy is alive.

Blogging has really evolved from being simply an avenue for venting out thoughts and emotion into an alternative media. Because of its many advantages like low cost of maintainance, simplicity of content management, and wide reach, it has become a very popular tool for advocating a cause, and promoting promoting products and services, among others.

One of the best features of blogging is its ability to empower ordinary people. I have always believed in the power of words. Blogging gives one an opportunity to utilize that power to do whatever he wants to do with it. A person who has an idea in mind will just have to sit in front of a computer and in a few minutes, his idea can reach every corner of the world.

The Game Called Politics

PHILIPPINE POLITICS is a game.?Politicians are champions. And what is up for grabs? The people’s money.

The ZTE Broadband Deal controversy is just one of the many scandals that reveal the true face of the Philippine government. Check the news today and you would be flooded with updates on the offshoots of the scrapped contract with the Chinese business firm–disappearing witnesses and?change of speakership in the Lower House.

This is the prevailing scenario as I see it: The President is so desperate to hold on to power. Thus she is so desperate to?clean up the mess.
