One Vote Counts

QUEZON City, Philippines (September 16) – Is it going to be just another false hope or is it finally the era of change we longed for?

The national election is approaching. Candidates are busy building their names and sugar coating everything to fit in their targeted position. They are luring the Filipinos with all their good words and their promises. “Mga pangakong napapako” it’s the image of politicians in our country and they cannot run away from it. Who else would they blame but their selves for this?

Filipinos are very much aware of the things they do. We cannot simply close our eyes and shut our mouth for a little amount of money they give us. Our conscience cannot be tamped by a thousand peso bill. We are not for sale.

These incoming 2016 elections candidates such as Mar Roxas, Jejomar Binay and many more names are filling the presidential list. We must choose wisely. There is a saying that “history repeats itself” and we must not let this happen to us.

Are we going to give a vote to those people who eyes for the treasure of our country for their own good, a person who has hidden bank accounts that have amounts of money far from what we can imagine or a good image person with great celebrity background but is involved in a scam that concerns millions of pesos.

They say that a vote can help change the world. The reform and future of our country starts with your vote.
