yesterday was an important day for the filipino nation as we again chose our leaders. it's a critical time for us if we want to start rebuilding the nation. we have encountered a lot of difficulties --- from the martial law era, to the instability of the government because of multiple coup attempts up to hands of a plundering president. not to mention the graft and corruption that is plaguing us over and over again. needless to say, the philippines is in a sorry state.
before election day, i still had a hard time deciding who to vote. i do know which candidate i would not vote for, though. i was choosing whether to vote for a candidate that i truly believe will bring forth change in the government but has a very slim chance of winning or to choose the "lesser evil" just to make sure that the unqualified candidate will not win.
i chose to vote for who i think is the right candidate for the position. at least by that, even if he does not win, i will have no regrets and will be able to say that i have not sacrificed my principles. the decision on who to place in the top post is not just up to me. the whole nation has to decide. whatever outcome of the election is, it is what the filipino nation deserves.
we are the ones who made the decision anyway.

was thinking of voting for "The True Marcos Loyalist (For God, Country and People)". hehehe! joke! pero natawa ako sa kanya nung nakita ko siya sa listahan.
actually, nahirapan ako bumoto ng party-list. gusto ko kasing bumoto for those advocating women's rights, indigenous people's rights and the rights of the elderly. e isa lang naman pedeng iboto for party-list. ended up voting for "Abanse! Pinay". :)
