on social apathy
Why is People Power not taking off this time?
Father Robert Reyes explained the reason to be the pervading social apathy that is based on the following:
Survival = He said that people have to take care of their needs first.
Disillusionment = People are also cynical with present leaders and the effects of People Power.
Moral Indolence = People are experiencing spiritual laziness. The Filipinos have been spoon-fed and used to being told by the church what to do, especially during the time of Cardinal Sin. Now that the Church and the CBCP has taken the middle ground, people find themselves taking the easier path – to go along with the flow or not to take any stand at all.
There is a need to get out of this pit we are in...as to yield to social apathy is to surrender the nation’s future.

I guess people are wary of rallying behind opposition leaders who are as blatantly unscrupulous, if not more so, than the present administration.
