If I were President
Being the president of a confused, chaotic, and intolerable republic may be the last thing on anyone’s list right now. But really, I’ve always entertained that little thought: What if i were president? Would I suck or would I simply be no less that exceptional? Or perhaps just someone in between?
I certainly do not know the answer to that question as of press time but really, if i were given a chance, here are some changes i’d impose and well, if people won’t agree to have those changes or will feel utmost inconvenience, sorry, wala ko’y "L." Queer, I know.
1. Presidential Decree No. 53203483573458: let’s skip the details and get to the meat of the matter. this PD will make all holidays, i.e New Year, Holy Week, Independence Day, Christmas, etc… into working holidays to ensure that my people will be working and working and working. It’s not all that bad. As they said, if you chose a job that’s you’re passion, you aren’t necessarily working. now wouldn’t that be a treat?
2. Educational Decree No. 48574957497545498: Sembreaks will be cut down to three days, Summer breaks to 1 week, and no other vacations are allowed. We study, we have fun in school. now, wouldn’t that be a treat?
3. Republic Act No. 134454084584583: All dead bodies shall be cremated here on thus giving rice to a bigger funeral urn industry and thus saving space that’s badly needed by the living. now, wouldn’t that be a treat?
4. Executive Order No. 458490580583: Brick games, Video games, playing cards, board games, and all other toys, and thingamajigs of thesame nature are prohibited in government offices and private offices save those that deal with the experimentation of such for its proliferation in the market.
5. Educational Decree No. 0495405847649: Basic Education shall be reduced to six years. after which, children will be classified according to their area of specialization and shall focus on such for eight years. in his last four years of studying, he shall receive a salary and shall thereby pay taxes to the government.
6. Presidential Decree No. 97348287247239749237: there will be a total ban on vehicles that emit fumes hazardous to the environment. everyone will use bicycles for transportation. cargoes shall be delivered through rickshaws. this is in line for our goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2015.
