Remembering
Treason
(An updated version of the Philippine Collegian editorial, 13 Setyembre
1991)
GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO's obscene fixation for the
US forces has left us with no choice but to go on with the struggle.
We go on because we remember and puke at the cheap
gimmickry of her million peso commercials. We go on because we remember
and puke at her devious deceptions. We go on because we remember
her repulsive Iies. We remember her sickening betrayal. We remember
treason.
Macapagal along with those who must resort to such
shamelessness have only proven that they never deserved our hopes
for change in People Power 2. For instead they deserve our rage.
All their eloquent excuses for the continued presence
of the US forces (through Balikatan and the Mutual Logistics Support
Agreement) were not mere Iies, they were also eloquent speeches
that told us the truth.
As the defenders of imperialist shitting dumped
on us every excuse they can muster out of their pro-US closet, they
have also pulled out all the skeletons. While they feverishly defended
the supposed validity of their calls, the traitors have unwittingly
spilled the inescapable logic of it all.
A government that must rely on a foreign superior
for its survival has no right to don the mask of love for country.
A government that allows the tightening of the bondage which generations
of liberty-loving Filipinos have resisted has no business calling
Itself representatives of true national interest.
A government that admits it can no longer defend
its people without encouraging the infernal screwing from a supposed
ally ends its cause for existence. A government that insists on
ramming vomit down our throats should take its beloved MLSA and
shove it up its ass.
Yet as we must
condemn this government of sodomite adorers of the American prick,
neither should we forget that the rejection of the MLSA does not
end our struggle against imperialism. This should only trigger the
necessary cause of ending the economics of slavery and the politics
of injustice to which we can never be content at merely puking and
remembering.
