Progressive economy? How about us?

"Kolet" (real name protected) is one of the unfortunate children whose only dream is to eat three times a day. She is a 4 year old girl who does not know how to speak straightly for education is impossible for her. Her parents? At the house whose work is to beat them if they cannot remit their alms for the day.(That is according to Kolet's sister.The one who drinks Jolly Coke).
From 10 am (the time mall opens) to 10pm (the time mall closes)Kolet with her peers are always prepared for their lines and drama to persuade the people to give them leftovers or money. The reason of course is the word 'poverty'! Hey,hey, reports said that the Philippine economy is progressing. The performance of the country in the world market is doing well. The President boasts the developments. The government is filled with programs but if Kolet could say, she probably asks " How about us?" "Can you see us?" "Do you feel what we feel?" "Blessed are the poor, where is that blessing?" They would say it. These young innocents are the indicators that the nation is not yet united and formatted. It shows that the people in powers are not effective. The images suggest that change the leaders,change the system, change the demonic characteristics--CORRUPT! Hayyy (sigh of frustration)To the devil in the government,allow me to say "Putang ina Nyo!!!"
