Five More Days To Philippine Elections – Jitters For The Candidates

Elections in the Philippines

5 days more to May 10. As candidates may start to get jitters and more anxious of whether they shall win or not, the key is just do campaign, campaign, campaign. The upcoming elections become the favorite topic for ordinary citizens anywhere nowadays.

We may have different opinions of candidates, different favorites but we do not take it against each other. We discuss whom we favor openly and talk about our favorites bravely. While some prefer candidates with political experience, others prefer to try newbies or non-traditional ones. Others prefer those with excellent family background, others those whose values are tried and tested. Different views…different impressions but one people in one country.


Elections are the same

They say same things and pattern happen every elections – that candidates promise the moon during campaigns, and forget it after winning, I still hope that our beloved country shall have on its helm leaders strong enough to defend it from disintegration, sharp enough to save it from economic downfall and prayerful enough to admit that the All-Powerful God is their source of wisdom to lead the nation fairly.

I still hope that our new leaders can make our country rich to regain our economic rank among Asian nations. These can have a lot factors like improving the peace and order situation, attract more investors and tourists , create more high-paying jobs, etc.


Let us all support each other

Filipinos, known to be peace-loving people wish and pray to have what we expect - peaceful elections. I am pretty sure candidates do aspire that too. Despite speculations that our political system needs improvement since it will imminently tarnish anyone who runs it, I still trust in the core values of the Filipino. That many aspiring candidates still have in their hearts the will to serve their country and their countrymen above anything. Whoever will win, we all shall support them and quickly move on. Our country needs not to be sluggish. There’s a lot of work to do.

May the best and most-deserving candidates win!
