My Say About Election 2007
My say about the coming election, days from now government officials, candidates and other people concerned are getting pump up for the big event this May. Some of the regestered voters had already selected there soon to be "good" leaders for them. I quoted the word good, so as to emphasize that, are they really that good? I hope they choose the candidates who works for public service not for the money or the what they say opportunities.
But as far as I’ve heard in the news, the government were alegedly going after political persons or other personalities that they think are harmful or a threath to their wants. For example, Mayor Binay which is a known political figure under the opposition group was almost forced evict in his office. Not only mayors but also other positions like congressmans, senators and etc.
Taking examples also for the previous election, it is very unmanaged. Remember the sopposed to be computerized voting? It is one of the controversial issues up to this day. People’s money had been wasted for a not implemented project. Also the never dying flying voters, registered voters whom names are misplaced to other precints or erased from the list, and dead people being able to vote! What a government?! But don’t think that there’s nothing we can do, because there is. We must not tolerate this practices and report to proper authorities if we are witnesses of such crime.
Hoping this coming May 2007 election that the negative issues I stated above and also the unstated will be minimized if not erased from the system of candidacy. I also hope that goverment officials running again for office and also to the newbies in politics put into their hearts and minds the known motto, "Serve the People" and "Pera ng taong bayan, para sa taong bayan!". Hope also to the voters to vote wisely and please DON’T VOTE STRAIGHT! Not all persons in the same party are really deserving, take it from experience.
All these are HOPES and only HOPES. I pray to Almighty God the Father that at least one of these HOPES may come true. But it is much better if all of these positive hopes will be practiced.
AMEN.
Seriously. I do hope a peaceful and effective election. May this coming election will bring us good and deserving leaders for our improvement.
