From the words of the President on an excerpt of his message to the Malacanang Press Corps today December 4,2025 goes“ And when you must excise a cancer out of such a complicated system, you need to do some very major surgery. And to do that, when you do that, you will bleed. And that is what we had to go through. We had to go through that. And I am sorry that people suffered because of it, but it had to be done…
The President was right, and it is going to be a major surgery and thus, it is a major pain.
Speaking in front of the Malacanang Press Corps and in the presence of the nation’s cabinet, the President in blue open buttoned shirt was a bit sad yet fairly upbeat as he humbly accepts and say that Jon Bon Jovi line this Romeo is bleeding, but you can see his blood …
The President can never be more right in saying that it’s going to be a major surgery, uncomfortable, painful, and demoralizing.
Yet, it is not a just a metaphor nor any figure of speech, it is an excruciating process and that the President should be commended by addressing the elephant in the room, corruption, thievery to the highest levels, beyond the imagination of normal Juans who can barely smile in the face of yet another Typhoon and yet another flooding expected even as we speak.
He added that so, we must go through, go through that pain, go through difficulty, go through the anguish that the country is going through now. But we are Filipinos. We may be bleeding now, but we will also heal very, very quickly.
The last line is a wish and the lines before that are real, we are bleeding and the Filipinos are feeling the pain, that should be a mouthful already. We are facing uncertainty as a nation and hemorrhaging on the inside, because most of our leaders had gone berserk with their greed.
And in an optimistic tune, President BBM said So, I hope that once we go through this, and I know it will be done, once we go through this, that we will be able to look back on this and say, ‘Okay, mahirap iyong nangyari pero kailangan gawin at worth it iyong dusa na pinagdaanan natin para sa naging resulta.’ That is what we are hoping for. There is very little time to do it, but I really think, I mean, if we work 24/7 like we always have, I think we can do it.
We must rally for the President and the country and for our own sake as well. I pray we will survive the night to see the light of day!
