Today, the Filipinos are facing about the issue in Mindanao. They are shouting for an all-out war for their government independence though it would hurt a lot of them. They want to have their own government. They don’t want to depend on our government’s way of handling the country.
The president’s son said that no matter what happens, the government must always pursue a policy of a peace process and that a good head of the government or head of the family must promote peace within his family or within his or her jurisdiction. Of course, when you promote peace that doesn’t mean that you are not protecting your people anymore, instead, you have the same level or even a greater level of protecting your people. Yes he was right that they should not abandon the policy of wanting to have peace. But for me, we should use what Machiavelli recommended, the tyranny. Our government should use cruelty and violence to control the government. If it is the only way to stop the rebellious acts of Mindanao, then our government head should act like a tyrant. Though violence is to be promoted, still it should be limited. In fact, they could also use cruelty and violence to reassure people and win them over by benefiting them. To give what the people want and enjoy as a leader. In that case, everyone in the country will have a benefit.
