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:
This is a too late review post...but nevertheless such a timeless topic and just in time for Oscars..hehe.
For me one of the best and most unforgettable movies of 2009 is another animated film from Pixar...Up. With 5 Oscars nominations on the bag including the Best Picture contesting Avatar( which I also love by the way) I'm super crossing my fingers that it may grab The Best Original Score...so beautiful (so beautiful I wish i can play the piano).I adore you Mr. Michael Giacchino!
I'm such a movie buff. And I always cry as in mega cry especially if it's such a touching movie... and at times shaking during a very intense, thrilling and action pack scenes..:D After reading Up's reviews I was convinced to watch it on DVD(full of regrets that I wasn't able to catch it on theater during it's actual play dates).
From the very first scene until the last credit rolled... I swear I'm not the same anymore. I may sound so exaggerated but I really am. I never thought it would make me cry really hard. I didn't have a tissue with me at that time that I managed to use my t-shirt na lang...(imagine the tears and oh never mind) ahaha. Yes, it's so gross.
I mean who would expect that an animated film such as Up would really touch people's hearts in so many ways. Yes it has the qualities that all animated films usually have, the visual and special effects, colors and all.But what makes it different is how it successfully voice out its message to the people - people from all walks of life. People like Carl, Ellie and the boy Russel who are searching, dreaming, waiting, loving, hurting,hoping, and learning that the greatest adventure of all is love and that even letting go of that love when the time comes is the ultimate way of showing it.
Up is a movie of enlightenment. Enlightenment that one is never too old or too young to reach his dreams, that we should never stop dreaming, that losing is not a defeat instead a new chance to finally win, that life is like a book full of chapters to fill in with new experiences and memories once an old chapter ended, that heart is capable to love again and again, that everyone deserves to be loved and no doors should be closed to anyone.
Up aside from being an adventure movie is a love story. I admire Carl and Ellie's love for each other despite some things that lack in their marriage...how they dream together and how despite coming on the dawn of their lives, their love towards each other never changes. I want that kind of love story in the future...hehe. I belive that kind of love still exists and I know it will happen.
Therea are so many touching scenes in the movie,(parang sasabog ang dibdib ko nun sa kakaiyak..hehe). It never intended to make you cry but it will. Kumbaga mga eksenang tagos sa puso mo...
So for everyone let's continue to love,live and dream. Always aspire for that badge, for whatever or whoever we always want to be.
Funny...last heart's day I was happy with him.
