This blog has been up for two and half years. As I look back at my first few entries, I found out that this started as just a personal blog to let out my rants and frustrations from my previous work. I never imagined it to grow up and be a venue in discovering various things. Named as “Scrutiny of the Mind”, this blog was a way for me to write my thoughts and opinions on current issues and other serious matters. But after I left my media job and was less exposed to the happenings of our country, it was hard to stay true with the “Scrutiny of the Mind” concept. Despite that, I tried my best to do that and created blog posts that voiced out my thoughts on Philippine issues and events.
But as time passed, it was really hard to stay true to the concept. Ever since I left GMA 7, I never read or watched news that much because it left me depressed and frustrated. I just read and watch once in awhile, but not as religiously as when I was still in the media. So as much as I have some thoughts on things, they were not at par with this blog’s original concept.

I will dwell on that later as I mention the article’s three main points that we Filipinos should think about in order to lift the Philippines from its sufferings it is experiencing now. But first off, you can read the article on:
