Collection of same sentiments

At Issue: Sentiments expressed on the proposed Omnibus Economic Reforms Act are basically collection of messages.

Our View: These are messages that have been trumpeted by industries since four years ago at the onset of the Asian Flu.

It’s sadly biblical in form, the old story of St. Thomas, only this time it’s an issue where senators have apparently refused to believe of the steady ruination of the local economy so assaulted by the receding Asian Flu and self-inflicted protectionist measures.

Industries in the Taga Stone famous isles of the Marianas have sent messages to policy makers since four years ago of the impending plunge in revenue generation. Unfortunately, these messages have not only fallen on deaf ears, but policy makers who do not have any sensitivity of what inactions would translate to down the stretch, have turned their heads the other way. They found out that their stiff neck can no longer stay the course of neglect and must squarely face the music once more.

This obvious neglect is riddled with ineptitude on the part of lawmakers since six years ago who thought they could bluff blindsiding these issues in hopes that the two-headed corn snake (deepening economic crisis) would go away. They never knew that they didn’t chop-off the other head and the beast is back to haunt them once more. In the meantime, the economy takes a steady slide as more businesses shut their doors.

This neglect depicts two crystal clear messages: 1.) The net effect of inaction or indecisions by ill-equipped policy makers who couldn’t figure out apples from oranges. 2.) It’s time that the voters reassess if this adolescency is what wish to perpetuate in the dire need to elect fully-rounded policy makers. We surmise, however, that this adolescency has finally descended in the taken-for-granted attitude of voter sentiments poised for sweeping changes next year.

The issues may be complex, but it isn’t the complexity with which most businessmen have come to despise current slump in leadership, as much as the obvious adolescency in attitude to proactively join hands and resolve matters of substance to assist the productive sector of this community muddle through these difficult times. It’s six years of pleading that their policy makers get on with the task of putting our house in order to no avail.

If nit-picking is the agenda of the Senate Committee, then it has succeeded. Sadly though, the messages from the private sector remains the same: Do something about it! Si Yuus Maase`!
