Change is happening, and we have the power to make it happen. We can make noise for those who do not have a voice, or we can do nothing.

On May 9, 2022, the National Elections will take place. This is one of the most important days in the history of the Philippines. On this day, the country's people will vote for the political candidates they want to run for president, vice president, twelve senators, etc. This day is important because it will show us who got the most votes, but it will also show us what the future holds for our country and its people. It will show us what path Filipinos will take.

But with this trend come many fights and hate and prejudice are usually part of it. We all know that political campaigns are like battlefields, with some people going to great lengths to win, like doing inside jobs and other disobedient things like bribing voters. This is also called "buying votes" and is against the law.

The rise of social media trolls is another sign of the chaos that the elections have caused. Recent national news stories talked about troll accounts that spread false information and rumors about a certain candidate. These "hate posts" make people feel bad and want to share false information with others, even though they know it is not true.

People's relationships get worse because of these things. So, we should ask ourselves if the election is a way to bring our country together or if it is just another way to spread mistrust, manipulate, and start a war.

Many candidates do their best to be the best in people's eyes to win the election. Their faces are shown on TV ads and posters, and they have come together for political caravans. These "acts of helping" help candidates because they show people their good sides. But as citizens, we should be critical of their campaigns. Their sweet words and empty promises should not fool us. We should be able to figure out what they want and wonder if they will still be around after the elections.

This makes it natural for us to look for the truth and openness in things and people. People should look with their hearts, not just their eyes because if they care about their fellow citizens and the generations to come, they will vote for the best choice.

We should not get too sure about the candidates or have "false trust" in them. Being sure about the candidates we want is the worst mistake we could make. When we vote, we should never forget that we should think about our country and that we are voting for the people, not just for ourselves. Our actions will reflect our future, no doubt. People should vote for a candidate who has a good heart and is real. Change is happening, and we have the power to make it better or worse. We have the choice to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

The real winners should be the people who vote, not the candidates. This is because candidates should serve the people, not themselves. Let this election be the start of prosperity and health for the people and the country, not just a bunch of broken promises.
