If our government has good and better plans for our country in the coming year, we can surmise that its enemies have also their plans, except that they are much different because they are the exact opposite. They may continue with their programmed activities as in years past, and even in the face of the devastation wrought by the calamities that struck the country in 2013, as they did when they attacked soldiers who were doing relief work, and hijacked a truck of relief items for the survivors of Supertyphoon “Yolanda.”
It is our national prayer that those who want to sow anarchy and chaos will, in 2014, choose to retire, live peaceful lives and think of the benefits of doing “Balik-Gobyerno” for their own good and the good of all.
