The Wondering Mediocre

Dahil binoto ko si Miriam:

Ang aking personal na sagot dito.

1. Hindi lahat ng nag-LeniisMyVP ayaw kay Marcos.

2. In fact, I considered him as my second option.

3. Hindi po ba pwedeng Leni won our vote because of her humility and honesty.

4. Leni is just a candidate of LP. She may have the same visions with the party. Pero hindi siya responsible sa allegations with SAF44 and Kidapawan.

I may not voted you, but I will support you. You have won, but the real challenge is on you, not you alone tho. But the eyes of the critics will just focus on you.

I know you have the strong will to eradicate corruption, drugs and crime. And that would be a good start with your proposed changes.

All I wish for now is, may you be the instrument to the triumph against our battle to poverty.

May you focus as well on investing on the youth, through putting a higher value for education.

May you be the leader that will open opportunities for those unemployed countrymen.

3 days to go and you are still undecided yet? Well, yes it has been tough. So I have this simple guide that might help you decide.

1. Get the strong and weak points of the candidates. - Academic credentials - Achievements - History of service. - and the likes, etc.

2. Get their platforms. - Platforms were goals that they were trying to implement once they have been elected to their office.

3. From their platforms, match them with your values in life. - What do you value in life? An example would be, good education will give you a better job. So you focus on education, who among the candidates has high value on education.

4. Answer different these two questions for each and every candidate: “Why should I vote for him/her?” “Why should I not vote for him/her?”

5. Then do your thing. Do the process of elimination.

It’s not easy. But I think you have matched your votes against your values. If this help you to decide, thank you. But if not, sorry I didnt meet your standards.

Yes, I’ve already made up my mind who to vote for this coming May 9 2016. Even if my vote is against the majority. This election, I dont know if its just me, I find myself weak in terms of expressing who to vote for. Its just Im eager to influence.

Yeah, people think. It’s their opinion and their right to vote. People have this rebel heart for what’s happening in our country. I couldn’t take it against them, because like me, living in a normal life, I share the same sentiments with them. It’s really hard to live here from day to day. We work to live.

The question now is why do I have a different views, when a normal one should have easilly decided who to vote for. And they’ll prolly choose the mysterious and the humble one. That two factors were really a force to reckoned with. So, I realized not to argue with them. Not because, I already accepted defeat but I chose to respect their values.

Values were important to me. Because it somehow reflects my personality. If I let anyone decide for me, then I might not be the self I wanted to be.

Guys, so a gentle reminder, never let anyone decide on what you choose. Fight for your right, fight for your values. Dont think of what others might say, it is only you, who know yourself better, aside from God.
