October comes fast. Another awaited moment in Philippine political setting.
On last Monday of this month voters will all lead to precincts and vote for their ideal barangay officials together with the young people to cast their votes for Chairmanship of Sangunniang Kabataan and councilors. A must be wise selection of officials.
In my hometown, what do people have in their minds again?
The previous national and local election shows an elevated picture of it’s no extraordinary traditional political form. To mention a few, it demonstrates political greediness; voters show how they indulged themselves in politics for a good cause of their own interest. The election brought division to families, relatives, friends, and neighborhood and town people itself. Not to mention the rest.
Why does election have to be a wrecking phenomenon? Whereas it could be happen otherwise, without any endangering ones life.
Few days before the election may we have already in mind what qualities of candidates that worth our votes. Not only on neither the amount they have given, nor a promise but at least try considering their principles and status among others not only as politician but an earthly human being.
To the youth, I know the awareness you have in our town’s political setting. Your future relies in you. Today is the time to build a promising future; you have all the intelligence in hand to pursue upon it.
Or are you a picture of another selfish corrupt politician or even worse?
I give my best wishes to all political candidates especially in my beloved hometown and a prayer for honest, order and peaceful elections. May the good Lord enlighten all voters’ heart and mind as they elect their new set of officials; May JESUS also remind those aspiring candidates that HE came to us not to be served but to SERVE.
