We have had enough of corrupt officials in the Philippines .
Come this May elections is our chance to choose leaders who will lead us out of bondage from extreme poverty caused by gross graft and corruption. Please do not be misled by catchy jingles and fake political ads.
Got this e-mail this morning tho I decided not to mention the source.
Election is here definitely. I can feel the heat everywhere. Actually it's hotter than the onset of Summer, I guess even hotter than El Nino that it goes deeply into my skin it makes me so dizzy.
I don't know if this is what you call a black propaganda against Villar. Even other Presidentiables has this kind of anti campaigns and even funny anecdotes about them spreading in the e-mails and top social networking sites. For me in a way this anti campaigns help us voters to be more inquisitive, to be more careful, and wiser in choosing our next leader for the next 6 years. Though I believe some of those anti campaigns for one particular candidate just add confusion to people's minds on who to vote.
"Bakit ko ito nasabi?"
Dahil naniniwala ako na karamihan sa mga anti-campaigns na ito ay gawa rin ng mga kaalyado ng isang partikular na kandidato o maaring siya rin ang nasa likod nito. Kumbaga may halong malisya." He's doing it for his own personal gain.
And I find it disgusting. I find one Presidentiable who throws mud at other Presidentiables just to win the vote of people so disgusting. I mean sino ba ang malinis sa inyo?
In the e-mail above, Villar is portrayed as evil. Tho not directly it tries to imply that he is a corrupt official behind the mask of a poor guy. They criticize Villar because he's wearing signature and designer clothes.
Then they ask "Ganito Ba ang Tunay na Mahirap?
And now I ask: Does a man who came from nothing but now turns to have everything has no right to wear branded clothes and shoes? Does that make him corrupt already? Does that make him not deserving of being the President? So logically speaking we should vote the simpler and poor-looking guy then because he is not corrupt? Is that it?
I'm not pro-Villar. I mean for me he is such a shady candidate. A poor boy from Tondo who raises himself from poverty and now becomes one of the richest man in the Philippines but then has a graft and corruption case. To be honest, up to this moment I still don't have a clear picture on my mind on who to vote. Is it bad? I don't know. I know I have to make my mind soon. All I'm saying is that it's unfair on Villar's part and other able personalities' part who are being criticized and judged based on what their wear and their social status. Let's also give it to the man who works hard just to be where he is now.
Who will be the next President of this country is in our hands. Let us all be observant and open-minded in choosing our candidates. They are all promising to uplift us from poverty, to stop graft and corruption etc. etc.
We have the power to decide, we should it wisely coz once we give that power to lead to that next to be leader all the power that's left in our hands is to be a good citizen as well.
I've read this excerpt from Bianca Gonzales's blog on choosing the best candidate. And I've decided to copy it here. Read on:
question of ben cabigas:
"In principle is it ok to abstain for the position of President? Paano kapag hindi buo ang loob mo sa boto mo?"
reply of st. anthony enriquez tiu:
"Ben, para sa akin, wala naman talagang perpektong binoboto e. Meron lang perpektong boto - yung botong pinag-aralan, pinag-isipan at handand panindigan sa loob ng 6 na taon. Kung hindi buo ang loob mo, ibig sabihin kulang pa ang ginugugol mong panahon upang pagtibayin ang iyong kaalamn at paninindigan. Sa loob ng 5 buwan, imposibleng maging perpekto ang isang kandidato. Pero sa loob ng 5 buwan, kaya mong kumbinsihin ang sarili mo kung sino ang mas karapat-dapat na iluklok sa pwesto. Sino ba ang dapat?"
