Statement
Or better transportation, such as that Fact
of Japan, which is already building a
new maglev shinkansen, even as its
existing train system is decades ahead
of our decrepit railways.
Recognizing our wealth can lead us to
aspire for, and demand, better things,
while simply accepting that we are
“poor” can lead to defeatism and
undignified behavior exemplified by
the President.
As the P50-million cauldron and the
inexplicable preference for pricier
Chinese vaccines show, the problem is
not that the government has no
money, but it is using up its money for
the wrong things.
Like good health care, such as that of
Canada where, thanks to universal
health care, people don’t have to go
bankrupt when they have a serious
illness.
Saying “we are poor” distributes — Opinion
and dissipates — responsibility, but
acknowledging that “we are unequal”
raises questions about the unfairness
of our society and how this unfairness
is perpetuated across generations.
Alas, after spending months
promising that “let’s just wait for the
vaccine. It’s almost here,” the
President is now citing the
Philippines’ being “poor” as an excuse
for our having been left behind in
terms of procuring and rolling out
COVID-19 vaccines
