OH SO POWERFUL!!

This colloquium is about the most influential/ most powerful people in the country. We heard and learned so much from a politician and writer when he shared his personal experiences both in the field of politics and media. He was a writer on a newspaper before he decided to enter into politics. He admitted that he used to criticize the people in politics when he was still a writer. But now that he is a part of politics that is often associated with corruption, his name still appears on newspapers but this time, he’s the one being criticized.

Another powerful people in the country are the policemen or those in the military because they are the ones whom people are afraid of (especially the criminals). Well, they really need to establish such identity because if not, people won’t anymore refuse to do criminal acts. However, there are a lot of negative issues regarding these people like pangongotong, which are even shown actual on television. But the speakers defended themselves though admitted that there are really policemen (even those in higher positions) who engage in this kind of unjust activity. Our guest speakers, though new in the field, are aware of these issues and are willing to prove that these issues won’t be the same issues to be presented in the future.

People in the business sector are also powerful because they play an important role in the economy of the country. They serve as the pilot of the country’s economic condition. Since our guest is a foreign businessman, we’ve learned beyond what’s expected.

With great power, comes great responsibility. We should always put in mind that power doesn’t mean “being served” but “serving”. It doesn’t mean being the BOSS but being the LEADER.
