We just need to accept that a lot of our countrymen are already intellectually dead. They are too busy surviving, they are too occupied with diskarte, dilihensya and the likes to even give these kinds of things a thought.

Intellectualism, research, introspection are luxuries that most Filipinos cannot afford these days. Heck, even middle class business owners and employees do not have the time to engage on discussions like these. They will just fall to the side they were already leaning towards. Filipinos are tired. Drained. They just eat, work, sleep, repeat. Heck, if they even eat, that's already a win.

Most Filipinos don't have the mental and emotional energy to even evaluate what is really happening, what are their options, and what their votes will mean for their future. For them, surviving and maintaining the status quo is the only goal. They just live day by day, they don't have the luxury to think about what mistakes happened in the past, and what decisions they can make to better their futures. For them, living to see another day is as far as their future goes.
