The Next Adviser of Juan dela Cruz

Everyday, we are bombarded with choices.
What to wear, what food to eat, what jeepney to ride, if you have to go to your class or not, what sites to browse, etc.
But on May 10, 2010, we have a very important decision to make.
A choice that will change our country.
A choice that will lead its people to progress.
A choice that will earn every Filipino a job and an education.
A choice that will uplift our economy.
A choice for the new President of the Republic of the Philippines.

I myself have not yet decided on who to vote this election.
It's difficult especially when you don't know anyone in the running presidentiables.
So you read newspapers, search the internet, and ask some people about them.
And I must say, I have quite of information stocked in my brain about these people.
I learned about their background, their accomplishments and especially the controversies they were involved in.
Knowing all these, I have to decide on who deserves my vote. The lesser "evil" among them.
But even that, it's hard to know.

But there's one thing in my mind that concerns me more.
That is on what these leaders can give to our country.
Do they have the capabilities of uplifting our economy?
Do they have passion on helping the poor?
Do they value that much on education and innovation?
Do they have enough confidence and skills on making efforts for foreign investors to invest in our country?
Do they really mean when they say "I won't be corrupt again" and "I won't steal to the country's fund"?
Do they really have what it takes to run the country?

I think these questions should bear to us when choosing who to vote this election.
We should not be affected by their campaign ads, annoying jingles, their moms/dads/lolo/lola, or even the celebrities endorsing them.
None of that helps in improving our country.
What we need to think about is on what they can do.
Who is more realistic in their stategies?
Who has a "clean" record? And when I say "clean", I mean a lot good and helpful accomplishments.
By that, we can assess the things he/she can do for our country by the things he/she has already contributed.
Let's not depend on their blah-blah talks, but on the things they've done for us already.

Our country is already having a hard time.
Countless unemployed citizens, out-of-school youths, shortage of food, and corruption.
And we can't afford to add another bastard running our country for the next 6 years do nothing.
Our country needs us.
And all it takes is to vote for the right person.
WE SHOULD NOT LET THEM BUY OUR VOTES.
WE SHOULD NOT TOLERATE THEM TO CHEAT THIS ELECTION.
WE SHOULD NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES WE ALREADY MADE THIS DECADE.
This one vote will make a difference to our country.
So let's make the right choice.
Let us vote for the right person.
I am not encouraging you on the specific person to vote. We have different views in life. I just hope that at the end of the day, we have made the right decision.

Let us help our country.
It's the one vote that will change our life and way of living.

LET US VOTE WISELY.
