NLE 2022
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Romans 13:1 NIV
Every after six (6) years for the national, and three (3) years for the local, we, Filipinos under the Philippine Constitution, are given the priviledge to choose rightful candidates to be elected from the highest position to the lowest there is in the government. We excersise our rights to choose among the qualified persons to be subjected for a position in the public office. By qualified, it means that they have meet all the requirements needed for them to run for a specific position in our country.
Accoding to the Philippine Constitution (Article VII Section 2 of the 1987 Constitution) an individual or person is qualified to run for a Presidential/Vice Presidential positions provided he meet all the following criteria.
(S)He is a natural born Filipino;
A registered voter;

The candidates, are actively doing their parts by campaigning, doing grand rallies, and immersing themselves to the crowd for a purpose of gaining their trust and interest. They explain their platforms and future plans for the benefit of the country and its people.
Voting is deemed important not only for the Filipinos but to other nations as well. Consequently, during elections, vote for those who truly have the hearts to service the nation, those who upholds justice and care to the people, and those who promotes equity and equality in the law.
Choose the qualified, those who have a clean track records, those who have what it takes to be in the position, those who have earthly and heavenly wisdom, and those who will selflessly devote himself for the sake and love of the country and its people. Thus, vote with dignity. Vote wisely!
Horrible Incidents In Our little Town Days Before the NLE 2022
A man was shot dead on a neighboring sitio.
The first frightful plight happened 3 days before the election. On facebook, as I was looking for election-related updates, I saw a friend's shared post about a man from a neighboring Sitio whom I knew of but not so well, was shot dead on the fore and back head. The man was said to be riding a motorcycle and was on his way home. He crossed path with a riding-in-tandem gunmen along a dark area.
He was brought to the hospital but he was already dead on arrival. The reason of his death was not disclosed. But there are many untrustworthy news lurking over social media.
Another man was cornered and killed by gun men.
Gun man- a man armed with a gun; a professional killer.
-Merriam Websters Dictionary
This incident happened during dawn. The man was driving a car along the road of a little sitio when he was cornered by four vehicles. His car was ambushed by professional killers and was rained with bullets. The man died on the spot. The identities of the people who killed him was not disclosed too.
A shooting incident with armies and gun for hired men.
This is the most traumatic to the people in the town proper. There was a shooting incident that caused many people hid in fear. When they heard of the gun shots, they can't think of anything but to hide to save their souls.
There was even another bad occurence when one of the candidates was threatened to be killed. Fortunately, his wife who happened to be at their backyard, had the chance to run and seek help.
These situations tell us that politics is not for those who are faint-hearted because it can also be dirty and dangerous place for people to dwell in. Some people are willing to kill and cause harm to others just to suffice their thirst for powers. Even though it means they should do the unimaginable.
Preparations for the National and Local Elections 2022
Days before the awaited NLE, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) together with the affiliates (Electoral Board Committees and others) were bustling due to the dry-runs, final Vote Counting Machines (VCM) testings and other election-related activities. They work collaboratively to do neccessary activities to avoid and minimize glitches and other problems to occur during the election day.
The Day of the NLE 2022
May 09,2022
The Electoral Board Members together with the DESO Tech, PNP and other affiliates came early to their respective precints, clusters and stations for the National and Local Elections 2022. We were all set for that day's event. Yes, I was also one of the EB Support Staff.
We started the election by prayer. We needed the intervening power of God for the election that day. Glory be to God, there were no big problems. Though the VCM paper jamed, but aside from the minor problem, there were none more.
Submission To The Governing Authority
Why is there a need for to submit to the governing authority?
In my perspective as a citizen of a governing country, It is vital for us to be subjected to the governing authority because it is for our own welfare. We need to be a good law-abiding citizens who promotes solidity in life, direction and purpose.
In the bible, it is said that there is a need for us to submit to the governing authority because it is God who established it. In other words, following the mandate of the government, as long as it's just and humane and not violating any rights, it also means we are following God's command.
