election
So on Monday, people will be rushing to poll stations to exercise their right to choose - hopefully, right to choose the best and capable people to lead our country. Sad to say, I haven’t exercised that special right. Nakakahiya nga talaga ako kasi di pa ako nakapagboto, not once. Wait, I guess voting in an SK election would still count. Okay, I haven’t taken part in any major and crucial elections in my whole life.
Anyway, if I had registered to vote, I would likely write down the following names on the ballot — Pangilinan and Joker Arroyo. Why them? I just see Pangilinan and Arroyo as people who are not easily swayed and can stand by their principles. While some people criticized Pangilinan for going Independent, I lauded him for such a move. Why affiliate yourself with the camp you once criticize and fought against? Joker Arroyo, well… It was because he stayed with the party he belonged to and not jump to another one like most politicians do. In other words, hindi sya balimbing.
How about Chiz Escudero? I have to admit he looks promising… and would likely end up on my ballot if I were to vote. But I have to look at his platform.
I just hope that only those who have the heart to really serve and have a cause will win… I hope people won’t vote for candidates who have bad motives - like ousting the president (i don’t like our current president but I am tired of the ousting and impeachment stuffs already) or lengthening the president’s term.
