Post Election Ironies

Great that this country is catching up with the technological era of the rest of the world. Even though where neighbors with Singapore and Taiwan, its like baby steps for us to have our very own automated elections. Fast right? The results yeah but on the process it took me almost 3 hours to wait on that stupid line under the scorching heat coz of that PCOS machine malfunction. Worth it? For a first timer I’ll give 7/10 until the results came make that 4/10.

clearly marked like these people last may 10

Seriously what has happen to other Filipinos who voted? During the first hours on counting the leading presidential candidate was the former president; the former president who was impeached by the people and got away with the accusations due to the pardon given by Arroyo. I mean are we that forgetful on the events that came. Gaaah I hate it. At least Noynoy the one who has famous political parents outnumbered him. I said at least but that doesn’t make a good choice. Just because he’s an Aquino, does he have the skills? Evidences that I mentioned before this post were there. He did nothing during his senate years plus he was not the one who decided to run… he was pushed by people and that he maybe not a corrupt official but surely the decisions he will made during his term will still be from other people, a pushover and inexperience!

What annoys me the most is that the main reasons why people voted for him was that he’s not corrupt, parents’ shadow plus he’s not from the administration. Have people check his resume before? My grandmother keep mentioning of having his mouth drip with saliva like a kid who has no clue. At least my grandmom knows the candidates.

the lines were horrible also!

Don’t get me started with the senatorial race. Mostly those in where actors! Seriously people who came from the entertainment era? Really they’re where plenty of handful and useful candidates but the hell with the ones elected? Just because they appeared in television often, they know how to manage this country? Plus our very own Pacquaio, the country’s champ in boxing has own a seat in the congress. Seriously the guy can’t even got his English right. Exposure. People got it all wrong. They should have checked first the candidates they are voting for.

the presidential, one is lacking though and please do check before vote

Our country keep on promising for a better future. They’re where candidates that had the skills and knowledge to do it, but we just blew it. Personally, the ones being elected are still the same persons from the previous administration nothing has changed.

Just think Noynoy as the president, senators like Revilla, Lapid, Guingona and Enrile and Arroyo and Pacquaio on the congress. Indeed the political family in this country has become so colorful that the same problems will still attack us. To think I’m the person who doesn’t care about politics. Another huge wave of turmoil is approaching!

Oh yeah i still have my own speculations intact about Erap being Arroyo's secret candidate for presidency. its like a give and take relationship, Arroyo pardoned him in return if Erap wins, Arroyo would be granted another pardon as well. yes purely my own speculation ^___^

the former president: what people where thinking?!

my favorite debate between two candidates must see!

Wrap it up for May

Clearly only a few days to go and we say hello to May! Wait it is already May!

This month could mean anything, mother’s day to maria clara or the last summer month so gotta get those slacking chase some more!

May can be anything but my attention is on the elections, yep the 2010 national elections. The battle of whirlwind of politics that has been since last year is finally on the finals review. The people be the judge and the players be the candidates and oh yes oh dear this season is so colorful…literally.

which flavor would you prefer?

For 21 years, this is gonna be my first time to vote. So I was a slack on this voting thing since politics is one area, which to me is so messed up. From its presidential position down to the local, still I can’t decide straight which is which to choose from. The only fun thing is that this election, people are so divided. Its like a battle of rainbow with so many opinions being thrown out by one another. It’s seeing a huge courtroom with people wearing colored shirts.

The 3 main national positions, president, vice president and the 12 senators, are the highlights for the said event. With each candidates trying to pull off some silly or crazy stuff just to get attention to people. The problem is if what they’re saying would be put into actions that easily. Filipinos are hardheaded people but still I believe leaders who are using a greater authoritative force would work. We’re like a bunch of babies actually that needs parents who will make us grow.

Another fun side of this election, the talks rather the criticism of each candidates are being dug up from the grave. They’re throwing each other’s with spoiled pies that need to be clean up stat! What the heck it’s a major party so I would say to miley cyrus that Philippine’s party is way better than the US. (PS: I hate that song)

presidential candidates: (UL-R) Aquino, delos Reyes, Madrigal, Villar, Teodoro, Gordon, Estrada, Villaneuva, Perlas

My only concerns are that for the presidential position, some candidates well I strongly disagree on. One is the impeached president. I mean common if he wins this country is so dumb to let us go through another turmoil. Another would be a non contributor to the senate and has famous political parents. Yet how can he rule this country, even he doesn’t know the ways to caring one. Just because he’s always on time to meetings doesn’t mean he would know how to mange a country? Waaah no evidence at all! As for the only woman running for the position, she’s kinda strong but her vision of starting work at homes for the employment problem is kinda hard since resources are usually inadequate and expensive plus I have to admit we Filipinos approved more on imported products than our own.

As for another candidate JC, he believes in abolishing the death penalty, I disagree on this because this country really needs force in order to obey. Although I like his idea of banning public candidates to appear on media like starring in movies or being a news anchor or posting billboards in projects.

For the orange side specifically the wealthiest, he’s vision of all out war against poverty is an interesting topic yet so hard to pull off. For years this country has its share of ups and downs on the middle class but currently is on lower level. Even though he knows the living of the poor since he was one but then I think this country needs really more time for that change to happen and that 6 years is not enough.

Well all are my opinions on the said presidency but then again the people are the ones who have the rights to it…

PS: this post was supposed to be posted before may 10, wth! ^___^ this is what no net connections is all about
