They say that History repeats itself...

Another coup d'etat attempt staged by the Oakwood mutineers disturbed the otherwise boring city life, but I will not dwell so much on that today, because there are certain details that I am not knowledgeable about. Personally, I think the coup attempt was:

1. Unripe --> there was not yet enough tension to stimulate the people to action. Yeah, there are several controversies regarding corruption but it is not enough to trigger mass action since the Filipino people are so used to news pertaning to corruption.

2. Unoriginal --> of course, the current mutineers are the same people who staged the Oakwood mutiny, but then again, the arrangement of the coup attempt was very similar. They occupied a hotel, aired their withrawal of support , called for people power, failed, and like the Oakwood mutiny, it did not last a day.

3. Unsupported --> this is why it failed. This one is also very obvious. However, I know that many people have the same sentiments regarding the government, but they did not show their support. Prominent people from the left are no-shows as well...

4. Impractical --> and this is why it is unsupported. Well, there is no clear line of action. There was a call for people power, but that is that. Somehow, it lacks further organization and connivance. People, at least most of them, are very reluctant to support such actions even when they share the same sentiments, especially if there is not much mass support visible. There should be a visible and firm support from a group of people first before other people will feel compelled to support the action. The first two attributes of the mutiny is also the reason this.

What were they thinking? For me the attempt was a waste of effort and time. Really. To think that the attempt was supposed to be well orchestrated.

Don't get me wrong. I know that situations like this is inevitable given that corruption in this govenrment is pervasive even in the highest echelons of government, and personally, I want change, but I am quite picky with the kind of change and the means to acquire that change.

I am ultra paranoid right now. Several conspiracy theories are running in my head, but I will not post them here yet. I'll probably let several days past and see things unfold before I can generate my own interpretation of things... One thing is for sure though, the administration will use this event to further justify repressive administrative mechanisms.

We have a curfew!! Yeah. Coooooool...
