Politics in the family,church & community

This is the highlight for yesterday ,and my encounters today is related with politics.For those who did not know especially for the readers in foreign countries.Here in the Philippines,the election is on the coming May,and recently,there are some rare moments that happens around my place.How did politics affects in the life of many ?Maybe not all have experienced this but it really happens lately.

Politics in the Family

My mother's side

My mama told me that his brother was very loyal to a certain politician,to the point that he told her wife and children,"that if they will not vote his candidate,they will not be treated as a part of their family and they should leave the house right away."It really shocked me,how did a father can do it to his own family for the sake of a politician.

Election is just for one day,and politician will not be with us through the rest of our life.My mama told his brother that he shouldn't do that,but he keep on insisting that he will do it even if they will get mad at him.

My father's side

(I will write this for the sake of other family to please not do the same)

Last night,one member of our family came home,and his a little bit drunk as I can see his face.He approached my mama and said,"you don't love me,you didn't even treat me as your family because you didn't agree with me to be in my side (his referring to vote the candidate that he want,because my parent was on the other side because of utang na loob or debt of gratitude).

His like doing a little bit of drama and he almost cry in front of my mother.I can't imagine how did politics can make a relationship between families in trouble.

I mean,that relative have take it personally,when my parents refused him,that if we don't vote his candidate,we didn't love him for not following what he wants.Im really sad knowing that we have nothing against him,and for the sake of politics,our family will now having a gap.Its not only happening in our family,but also with some other families here in our place.When the elder family member choose their candidate,while the other children of wife choose another one,they will be mad with each other.

Family relationship should not be affected with politics.And my concern also is that,just let our family members choose who they want to vote,we shouldn't forced our family to vote on a certain person if it is against their will.

Politics inside the Church

As I have known before during our subject in highschool the social studies that there is a separation of church and state.And I think it included the election campaign(correct me if I'm wrong).

Lately,I saw some posts with one of our church was on on FB that a certain candidate is doing his dialogue inside the Church ,in the middle of a worship service .

It's hurts to see this,because within the church ,there is only one who should be praised and given glory and it is God.In our church,we have the called "church ethics",what belongs to God,is for God.

It really disturbs my mind that a politician will stand in front of the church before the preacher gives his sermon,and speech for his advocacy.

Well,it's just my own opinion,how about you,what can you say with politicians whoa re doing this kind of actions?And for real,the people inside the Church are now devided ,and those who are not in favor in a certain candidate will now separate the group.

The church itself should not allow these things to happened.Its not good to hear that,a church was being broken because of the coming election day.

The politics today really turned 180°,it's really has a big changed after how many years passed.Its so critical,as I have observed it lately.

In the community

Even the people in the community,were having trouble,and gap in their relationship because of vote buying at the very early time before election period.And did you know,that the price of each vote have become

Just like the world suffers the series of viruses,the election lately seems to be like a pandemic also.For contaminating the people's mind,manipulation through money,and promises that are higher than the mountains.

As a freedom country,the people itself is the government,and the politicians are like a job applicant .We have the right to pick the best choice without being forced by anyone.

And because life is hard today,especially with financial matters,that's why some people grab the money given by any political leaders especially when the offer is bigger than the other parties.

Don't let politics as the basis of a good family relationship nowadays

Even before and after election day,our relationship is already established,family is the only that we have which will never lose the spirit in valuing their family relationship .

Follow your own choice,and let others do the same.Family is our basic foundation today,and after election.

Yes politics is a part of our life as humans ,but we should have the limitation to where politics can influenced us.In short,we shouldn't let people destroy our relationship for the sake of politics.

How did politics in your place and family?

The eagerness of some politicians to win is so intense that's why sometimes they do things and strategies beyond our imagination.

So please be careful ,know your rights and responsibilities.
