Here in the Philippines, election is fast approaching, just four days to go and we, Filipinos, are going to choose a leaders that will lead the country for 6 years.

Before anything else, I want to share how glad I am that God gave us a President, Rodrigo Duterte, who doesn't only gave influence to our nation but also in other countries. He is brave enough to handle difficult situations for the past years and up to the present. The President who doesn't afraid to show who he is, his real identity even in front of the Social Media. He is a funny President who can turn a serious event into a light one, he even knows how to play for bias media. For example in an interview

Reporter : So if you're going to retire is what you're saying, which we can't seem to see yet. But if you're going to retire what are you gonna do next?

President Duterte : Well, I will work to buy a sock.

(Sometimes you need to give a fool answer to a fool question)

He is really an amazing President, maybe not a prefect but the best. I don't understand why other people don't like him, maybe they are just corrupt or filled with negativity, but for me, overall he serve the country with outstanding effort.

Since on Monday is the day of election, we should be ready physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Remember that your vote is very important, don't waste it just because of money, fake promises and being undecided. Choose wisely, vote wisely.

Choose a leader who have;

Knowledge and Wisdom. Intelligence can fool you but wisdom cannot. Choose a leader who is knowledgeable enough in his/her position, not just by the paper but in action. A leader who act and talk with wisdom, not a memorized speech. You yourself can feel a person's sincerity, open your mind and heart.

Mission and Vision for Country's Improvement. A leader who is not a selfish, that his/her goals is for the Filipino community. A leader who doesn't plan for a short-term goals but a long-term success. A leader who visualize Philippines as a country of love and hope.

A Heart for the People. It's so funny how most candidates, in any position only show up during campaign period. You can know when the election is approaching, when leaders start to give some donations, local renovation like basketball court, free goods, scholarship and more benefits. Once they achieved what they want, we can't see them and having hard time to approach and ask for help. So, choose a leader who have the heart of helping people, not only during election time or when there is social media. A leader who act with his/her free-will to serve.

God. A leader who doesn't have God is failure. No matter how intelligent he/she is when you can't see him/her serving to God, then it's dangerous. Besides, you can clearly see how a god-fearing person differs from not.

These are only few reminders on how to choose a leader, since I don't want to be bias, but I'm happy and excited for all the chosen candidates that I will vote this election. Aside from what I have mentioned above, don't forget to;

• Pray

• Bring a bottle of water

• CCTS or QR code for contact tracing

• Valid ID or Student ID for emergency purposes

• Facemask

• List of your chosen candidates (this will make your voting procedure easy and fast)

Lastly, I want to wish a blessed and peaceful election to everyone; hopefully there's no fight, no cheating. We are in a Democratic country, we have the freedom to choose and speak, but don't let that freedom lead us to suffer for years.
