The Ignorance of an Oligarch: Cynthia Villar and the Filipino Nurse

I have recently come across a horrible, basically reprehensible video posted in Youtube during a question and answer forum involving candidates for senator who will be on the ballot come the May 2013 elections. This one involves, as usual, a main staple of Philippine politics, a classic incarnation of an oligarch who is disconnected, unaware, uncaring, insensitive and essentially removed from the realities of 21st century Philippine social conditions.

When initially asked why the members of a nursing regulatory body resigned en masse for her refusal to close down nursing schools who are essentially milking the Filipino of money for substandard, useless and incompetent instruction, Cynthis Villar gave the answer that in effect essentially meant the errant school's were not closed because money has already been invested in such schools and that money is important more than the good of the Filipino public. On a follow-up question about her seeming preferential bias to the rich (she is indeed very rich, in fact, the richest member of congress!), she in effect, as shown by the picture above, belittled, insulted, degraded and slapped the face of the Filipino nurse, professional's who make-up a significant number of Filipino OFW's. Professionals who, like many Filipinos, have to reluctantly work and toil (and sometimes die) in foreign, most often repressive lands just to live a respectable life for them and their families because politicians like CYNTHIA VILLAR are more concerned about making money, making more money and making even more money for themselves and their business associates, families and relatives at the expense of the suffering, bullied and harassed Filipino populace.

This is an example of how Filipino politicians barely have a reasonable, much less realistic grasp of the realities of Filipino life. The Filipino people should speak with an unequivocal voice, and reject old school politicians so as to usher in a more responsive and grassroots rooted set of political cadre that will truly work for and in the best interest of the Philippines.

REJECT CYNTHIA VILLAR FOR SENATOR!!!!
