Politics

I know some of us don't believe in the politicians.! They say that they are just sweet words just to make people believe in their platform. But because my father was a Barangay Captain for 9 years President Duterte always postponed the election of the Barangay Captain and it was always extended.

I never expect to become part of the election campaign. Our boss was the secretary of the vice mayor, and the vice mayor is my relative also. The secretary of the vice mayor told us to help them with the Barangay Rally every afternoon. This is my first time helping them do this because my father during elections I just sleep in the house. Hahaha.

Rain or shine the Barangay Rally was continued until we are done with the 44 barangays in our town. I support them because they are not corrupt same as the other politicians who said. For every meeting, I was there so that I witnessed where they go and what came from the budget they use.

We are helping them also get them back into the council so that they will continue their good deeds. Before I don't have any comments for them because I only knew that they are just attending sessions and don't have any work at all. And then I realize when they attend sessions they are so stressed talking about the committee they are handling to make our town more beautiful and never become low to others.

Our town is the second class of municipalities, and we are so proud of that because of the hard work of the upcoming mayor and the Vice-mayor who has a lot of projects that we've seen when the time he was the was. In just 3 years he got more than 50m projects in our municipality.

The only way that I can help them for this coming election is to help them every day for their Barangay Rally. Help them put some tarpaulin, help them to prepare the site for their rally, help them to give some fliers, and help them to serve some snacks to those people who want to support them also.

There is a small barangay and also there is a big barangay. But we are so happy to have 200 people in every barangay we visited. But yesterday when we went into the barangay we don't get the heart of the barangay captain, also we don't get the heart of the people in that barangay they are just attended to 29 people.

We just keep smiling even though the start of our barangay rally is always raining, every afternoon the rain will pour. The rain in our place is almost 2 weeks but we continue our barangay rally despite the heavy rain, difficult roads and unreasonable places because of the low signal of the mobile phones.

But I am so proud and happy to say that before the party and the governor that I am supporting was not in the position our place is not so accessible, very Rocky Road from farm to market, from town to city but now we are so proud that most of the barangay is have a tire path, full concrete roads and wide barangay roads. Before we can't access easily the place where we want to go but now it's easy and no more muddy road. We can experience the muddy places when we are going to the houses and or we put some tarp in other places.

Our barangay rally will end this coming May 7 I think because we have 44 barangays and we are done in just half of it and there will be some rest days or meetings so the rally will continue for the next day.
