I was reading through Get Real Philippines (GRP) concerning the politicization of the community pantry in Metro Manila. I would dare say that the move is INCREDIBLY PATHETIC on more than one level. Nothing is wrong with having a community pantry. Nothing is wrong either with Vice President Leni Loud Robredo leading Angat Buhay operations during this COVID-19. What's wrong is that supporters of Leni Loud are using Angat Buhay to demonize the incumbent government as if it's not doing anything. Some Filipino communists are really using the community pantries to spread their Marxist agenda to promote their socialism. Ironic that they should promote Karl Marx's quote (which welfare states don't put into practice) which defeats the idea of a welfare state of people always asking for their ayudas and free stuff. Also, Atty. Maria Sol Taule (who I think is a member of Anakpatis) has decided to further politicize it according to GRP.
What's the aim behind the politicization of the pantries? Again, nothing is wrong with having pantries and some of them are done by private business owners. Back in the ECQ days of 2021 - some restaurants that haven't reopened yet until the GCQ were donating food to health workers, soldiers, and policemen during those days. The private companies didn't give food to the health workers, soldiers, and policemen because the government is a failure. Instead, it was because they know that they can't rely on the government and that they should do their initiatives to help others. Various food companies were donating food to feed the frontliners and the needy. The government simply gave them permission to do so. It's also in recognition that it's NOT the government's job to provide for the needs of the people. People must be responsible for their needs. All the government should do is provide the opportunities such as economic liberalization or encourage it. The government should only intervene when the pantries don't meet safety standards or when they're used by Filipino commies to wreck havoc.
Speaking of which, I could remember when Anakpatis supposedly celebrated Adolf Hitler's 131st birthday by donating relief goods. Fortunately, the members of Anakpatis were apprehended when they were trying to spread communist literature. Funny that these guys should shout "No to red tagging!" when they're already red-tagging themselves. Besides, it will be Hitler's 132nd birthday this April 20, 2021. I really am amazed at how they try to demonize capitalism but all they can provide is substandard help. Meanwhile. China and Vietnam are adopting the entrepreneurial spirit in their communist states. China and Vietnam have been accepting foreign investments - something that Filipino communists have been antagonizing for decades. They keep making excuses while China and Vietnam enrich their communist states with both domestic and foreign capital. Do you think China could cause trouble at the West Philippine Sea if they were protectionist? Do you think Vietnam would beat the Philippines economically if it were still protectionist?
If they want to be concerned about the LONG LINES, HUNGER, and UNEMPLOYMENT then why do they still oppose economic liberalization even until now? Instead, they just keep asking for ayuda and MORE AYUDA. If the current "opposition" really cares about the poor then WHY NOT OPEN UP THE ECONOMY instead of asking for ayuda? Please, it's more than time to teach Filipinos to fish than to keep giving them fish. The culture of mendicancy and the long rules are a result of economic protectionism and the 4Ps program. Ayuda isn't going to help fight inflation because it only increases the demand but NOT the supply. Printing more money DEVALUES the money making it inflationary like what happened in Venezuela. Supply can only be increased if there were more businesses. Relying solely on the local business environment isn't going to help. Economic liberalization would introduce more jobs and opportunities for growth. Then again aren't Filipino commies only wanting power at the cost of others?
Besides, trying to promote their own version of socialism has failed miserably. As mentioned earlier, China and Vietnam may consider themselves communists but they're not rich-shamers. Deng Xiaoping said that poverty isn't communism or socialism - to be rich is glorious. Deng also demanded people to contribute according to their ability in his communist state. I guess that's why they're all fearful of China or hate the idea of China taking over. They could've been using devices brought by Chinese investors in their armed struggle instead of luxury brands coming from capitalist countries. The irony is also that they hate capitalism but they sure love its products. I guess they wouldn't want Chinese communism because they won't get any more ayuda. Instead, they'll be forced to work before they even get paid a single cent by the Chinese government.
