The Modern Medieval

The Republic may be an existing state in the modern world, but its political ways are medieval. The fathers of the republic may have shouted "Down to the colonizers", but the descendants are colonizers in uniform. Politicians will do anything to get hold of power. Sounds familiar? Of course, they're like the Tsars of the Russia, the Khans of the Crimea, the Hetmans of the Ukraine, the Kings of England, or any other european emperor. The President rules the nationand any loyal friends (Kaibigan, Kabarilan at Kabalikat) are given a special place in the cabinet or any fiefs.

Example 1: 15 becomes President. Instead of putting abled and competent people in right positions, he puts his friends in the cabinet. Most of it are leftists. They are by far the worst people in the position. Their only purpose is to ensure that President remains in power and will stay as a dictator. People will often say that 15 is a victim of a regime. That doesn't mean he can make a regime as a revenge to what he has been through.

Example 2:, President 7 has a very close friend. There is a government land untouched and 7 decides it to sell it only to a close friend fro 2 conditions. Buy also the farms around the land and in 10 years, land and farm is given to the tenants. Ten years have passed, president 7 died from an accident and new president takes place. Land was still not give to the tenants. President 10 makes actions about this issue and 7's friend becomes unpopular among farmers in the country. After much failures, President 10 is ousted from power and 11, 7's friend's daughter, becomes president. Because of loyalty to her family, she decides that all must be forgotten and trashes everything about the issue of her family's farmland. She also appoints her friends into power mostly leftists.

Filipnos are still medieval in nature. We can look at Europe, our congress is nothing to a parliament, our president is nothing to a Prime Minister, our governors are nothing to their mayors, our senate is nothing to their governors.
