Explaining the huge chasm between the elite’s and the masses’ worldviewsTHE results of the recent elections, especially the total rejection in the Senate of the Yellow-Red candidates, demonstrated in such stark manner the huge chasm, the colossal difference in the worldview of the elite and the masses. How do we explain such a stark contrast in the elite’s and masses’ views? They know that the local police hesitate to go against drug pushers as this risks their lives for a cause their superiors hadn’t really asked them to fight for. Drug pushers, funded by drug lords, routinely are freed on bail, and hunt down the policeman or the barangay official who fingered them. Police listened to the president’s clear and forceful command, and went after the drug pushers in their areas.
