The One who needs to be Elected

March 5, 2022

Just got home from a 12 hours toxic nightshift an hour ago. Tired and sleepy but I decided to write something up before I go to sleep. So please bare with me. 🥱

Elections here in the Philippines will be about in two months time from now. Hey fellow Filipinos, who is your president? Is it red, blue, pink, yellow, green or any other colors?

I’m a responsible voter who is voting on the right person that I think will lead the Philippines into success. But did anyone I voted before made it? Yes, maybe, no. This made me doubt that I picked the right person and also made me think “what if I voted for the other person? Will the Philippines not be the same? Would it be successful?” Okay, those thoughts wouldn’t reversed what happened. Now the question is, why is it that no matter who we choose to lead us isn’t always enough? The answer is doubt.

Ps: I’m not supporting any candidates and I am not pointing fault to anyone.

Truth be told, we are all persons that has doubts. When we hear something good or bad that happened like for example they put up a bridge to connect a two provinces we think that it was good but how much is their kickback for that project. Can you understand what I’m pointing out here? We doubt because we don’t see. And the main reason for this is corruption.

To be honest, I knew someone who is an SK chairman in some place in our province that does this. Put up some projects and he would get some share of the funds straight into his pockets. So young but he knew it. Where did he learnt it? Yes. From the person who is higher above him and so on.

So this is the reason why I think that no matter what color we choose, Philippines would be the same. It’s the system that should be replaced not the person leading. It will just a change of name. Change of platforms and promises to the people. It would always be same. What needed to be done is bring back the trust to the people. So how do we do that? Easy. Blockchain technology.

We knew what is blockchain technology is right? Blockchain can kill the source of our doubts. With everyone that can view the transactions made in and out of the government, it would be transparent. No more doubting that all the funds in the government are used incorrectly.

So in the coming election, I still doubt that their would be a change here in the Philippines because I haven’t heard the word of blockchain on anyone’s mouth.

Thanks for reading. Got to sleep.
