yesterday was the Barangay and SK Election. though i woke up late (many thanks to myla and jen for waking me up), i made sure that i have practiced my right.
voting was easy in our place since there were no long lines. i just feel so sad for those who thought that their votes will just be wasted because they are thinking that those who will be elected will do the same thing. and same thing for them means NOTHING. sad. this is the kind of thinking is what we must avoid because if we want change, we also have to do our part.
lagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko, di bale nang hindi manalo ang iboboto ko basta alam kong siya ang karapat-dapat sa pwesto. naalala ko yung sinabi ng pari before the national election last year. sabi niya:
"hindi na baleng hindi manalo ang iboboto mo. kung sa tingin mong siya ang karapat-dapat at hindi niya lolokohin ang bayan, ibigay mo sa kanya ang boto mo. kung hindi man siya ang manalo at maghirap ang bayan sa pag-upo ng taong hindi karapat-dapat, alam mong hindi ka bahagi ng paghihirap ng bayan mo. at kung manalo siya at umunlad ang bayan mo, magbunyi ka kasama ng pagbubunyi ng bayan mo dahil isa ka sa naging dahilan ng pag-unlad na 'yun."
on the lighter side, there is another thing i want about election aside from choosing the right people. i just love to see my friends and just talk and do anything with them after voting. in this regard, i want to thank the following:
Bryan and Daryl for the burger and softdrinks.
Ian and Burgos for their stories about their elementary days (parang puro hinanakit naman yun. haha!)
Lex and Braga for.. wala lang. dahil magkakasama lang tayo. haha!
Myla and Jeng, sa paggising sakin at pagtambay kina Denmark.
Den, sa lunch namin nina Myla at Jeng. salamat sa pag asikaso samin! hehe.
to all those who praticed their rights, VERY GOOD! sayang ang boto kung di nagagamit.
to the teachers whom i know were the ones who are very tired on that day, SALUDO AKO SA INYO.
to all those who will win, CONGRATULATIONS! may you take care of people's vote and serve them well.
to those who will not win, you can still help and serve people in other ways if that is what you really want.
“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing.”
'til next election! :)
