Number 8 Rules RP’s Society with Impunity
Nomadicasian
The single digit number 8 means authority and power. But to many Filipinos, the number means otherwise. For the average observers, the common interpretation or definition of number 8 could exactly be termed as repugnant. It is so because number 8, in layman’s term denotes wickedness.
In the Philippines where every number counts, from fat commissions etc, the number 8 is a privilege which could be identified on car plates of SUVs and luxury vehicles of all congressmen/women of the lower house of representatives. For most congressmen/women, especially administration solons, the number 8 is a tool to brag or flaunt their authority and power.
These congressmen/women are road-monsters when they are traveling anywhere else in the country. They disregard road courtesy by ignoring traffic rules and regulations. They travel in long convoys with siren and forced other vehicles ahead of them to slow down. Often their bodyguards berate and threaten motorists to back-off.
They respect no traffic enforcers when pulled-over for traffic infractions. Instead, the poor road safety officers get reprimand from abusive solons. These abhorrent acts of solons continue down to their family line and paramours. The number 8 privilege serves well the family’s affairs and various personal activities with impunity.
In areas where ordinary people are submissive, the number 8 of solons commands fear and respect. When passing by the unpaved roads in the countryside, the peoples’ heads are down to show their meekness and weak-kneedness. This is what the number 8 makes Philippine society unequal and will remain indefinitely.
If the number 8 is a sign of good fortune for feng shui experts, the number 8 is a plague or a bad omen for the majority of the Filipinos living in despair and absolute neglect.
