I don’t know what came to me, I just one day decided to leave off work and register to vote. What I can say is that, all those years I did not, I do not regret. Suffrage may be a right, a right that you suffer for at least for 6 hours.
The death of former President Aquino may very well be a factor to my actions. To what extent, I have no way of knowing. I finally felt that my one vote can make a difference; that whoever is elected or otherwise, I had my say.
Who I’ll go for when I practice my right is blurring as the filing for candidacy and the campaign ads fill the news and the program intermissions. Will I vote according to my conscience for who I think CAN bring about a good change to the country? Or will I vote tactically so that the political suicider may concede.
I swinging between 2 presidential candidates, 1 vice-president and no idea about who’s running for other offices. My only hope is that voters wisen up and elect no more those who have failed us and pretended to be a victim. Filipinos are easy to forget who took for granted his promises and bring us to an all time low.
