Election 2010

I’ve just finished writing my own list of candidates that I will vote on Election Day. At first I had difficulty deciding who to vote for the most coveted place in our government – the presidency. I know it’s just one vote. But that’s the least we can do for our country. One vote for the right candidate is one vote for Philippines’ growth. It’s only 7 days before the election and we should have thoroughly checked and examined all the candidates by now. I make it a point to watch and read information about them. We’ve been fooled before by corrupt officials that I hope we learned our lesson and not make that same mistake again.


Every Filipinos should make an effort to know and vote for the right candidate in all the government position. Some people are discouraged to vote because they don’t believe their vote will make a change. Some are also pessimistic about the automated way of voting and counting the votes. This is the first time we are going to have a full automated election so we still don’t know what to expect. I pray it would be a clean, peaceful and meaningful one. I like the ad of a TV station which says “May Magagawa Tayo.” I do believe in that! This is our chance to help improve the situation of our country. So on May 10, 2010, DON’T forget to vote! :)
