My sister and I were walking to the FX terminal when she asked me, “Ate, do you believe in conspiracy theories?” I just shrugged and said, “Well, they are theories. Thus, there’s no proof.” So anyhow, with the country’s current situation, one can’t help but think of whatever kinds of theories to explain things. I have had a cab driver talk to me about conspiracy theory last Saturday (on the way to Megastrip). The traffic was terrible and he was just thinking aloud while listening to AM radio announcers give updates about the recent controversy on the tapes. And just this morning, my sister posed the question: “Why was Tarongoy released just now?” (News item here ^[1].)

I think that my sister could have gone on and on about it but it would be too much of a headache to think about these things so early in the morning. But it boils down to the question: “Has this been rigged?” The country is in chaos and there have been a lot of negative things written about the President. Is this good news to appease the public and lift up her ratings?

I honestly don’t know what to think right now about the “Gloriagate” issue. All I know is that we have to come together as Filipinos and really decide to work things out together and not just push personal agenda, especially the politicians.
