[Filipino Fallacy] Fumbling Down the Yellow Brick Road

Ruffy Biazon is a sorry excuse for a leader. Or, an exemplary model of leadershit.

Another appointee of this supposed renaissance of a regime falls by the wayside instead of finishing their purported Tuwid na Daan. The thing about straight paths is that even though they aren't crooked, the direction to which they lead to would always be in question. Road to ruin? That remains to be seen. But, that's a story for a different time.

For as long as I could, I tried to stay away from political topics because I'm not too keen on discussing issues of that regard. I hate politics in every form, there's always going to be a loser no matter what. I became irked at the sight of a short article in today's paper that detailed Ruffy Biazon's Sanctuary. I mean, he has always been an eyesore in the news and everything he has done has been abhorent but this just drove me to the edge. If you had to look at a bathroom mirror routinely to check if you have lost your soul, then there shouldn't be any question that you have lost your mind.

Leadership means not having to make excuses for your actions, not taking credit for anyone else's and taking accountability for everything done on your watch. The Customs has always been infamously dirty, that's why it's a favorite position for many people to be appointed to. The reasons for his resignation are a pathetic excuses of someone who doesn't want to get caught in the middle of the crossfire. It would be akin to a general retreating while the war was still raging on. For someone who has spent a lot of time in the House of Representatives, he should know better. He plays the "Biazon" card so much it should be banned. These legacy politicians seem so spoiled; they always use their lineage's merits to pad their sense of entitlement when they should be standing on their own. If his father had a good track record, then that shouldn't reflect with him. He smeared his own name. He made the choices that he made.

On top of that, his expose of the goings-on and internal corruption of the post that he has left behind would be reserved for a book that he will publish in the future. So, he wants to be financially compensated for something that he should be exposing today. That makes as much sense as him having been appointed the position in the first place.

This pathetic charade of how people should feel sorry for him shouldn't hold up. The Filipino people are better than that, and these politicians think of us as fools that they could string around. He had the highest position in the Bureau and he allowed people who are supposed to be beneath him to bully him around? Please. Things are not cut and dry like that but at least he should have the decency to shed some light on what went on.

This administration has been built on the backs of legacies. They are falling apart because their mommies and daddies aren't there anymore to catch them before they fall. Boo-hoo. So, goodbye Ruffy Biazon, hopefully forever. If you couldn't take the heat then you shouldn't have accepted being placed in the frying pan, you spineless coward.
