Today's Happenings In The Philippines

I slept late last night because I was watching the election results on livestream. I took a break from watching kdrama since I had something more important to watch. I was likewise concerned about the results last night, but seeing how several of my bets were in the top place let me sleep pleased late at 2 a.m. I was discussing politics with my friends, not only on a national level, but also on a local one, since we are concerned about who will sit as mayor and governor in our province, as they are the ones who will hold office, and we hope that they would provide economic advantages to all of the residents here.

I have time to go on Facebook and watch the people argue and say foolish stuff because they voted for opposing politicians. They also claim that God does not exist since He allows the opposing side to triumph, which is complete nonsense. Reading their posts gave me shivers and made me wonder how people could utter such things. They are also saying that they will cease praying to God for the time being, which makes me sorry for our God; it appears that they are abandoning God for this reason. Imagine someone demeaning their parents for voting for the opposing party and asking God, "Are you fair?" This is a far more revolting conduct. What is going on in the cosmos, Lord?

I also saw a post on Facebook about Alex Gonzaga, an actress, youtuber, and influencer, who tweeted, "Sana lahat ng nag away ay magbati bati na." Isn't this a nice message? She is only hoping for everyone to stop fighting, but some people have made outrageous statements. I watched someone say that she deserved to lose a child since she had miscarriage previously and lost her child. This type of behavior is so heinous and repulsive that it's difficult to justify telling it to someone. If you want to read other comments, click the link, and I know some of you will be upset.

They are also attacking Robin Padilla for being in the top spot and I can't deny that fact but other people were being going to the flow and the hype. They are posting about him like he has done something horrible on them, same how they insulted Marcos before. We have the right to vote 12 candidates over the 63 candidates in the ballot and almost 25 millions have voted for Robin and do you think how those people voted robin? I did not vote for Robin and I also did not vote for Diokno for some reason but I am glad that Loren Legarda win also. She was the first one that I supported and I know she deserves it. Hihi.

To conclude, I understand that some of us are disappointed for different reasons, and you are valid. Your sentiments are understandable, but let's think about it from the other side and not only from your perspective. You may be wondering why they voted for him or her rather than him or her. It is because we have diverse life experiences. We all have various perspectives on the world around us. Because you support a particular candidate does not imply that you are smarter than them or that they are stupid. Let us just confront this era and see what happens. Remember when people were protesting Duterte's inauguration as President? People were heartbroken because he would now be returning to his home. He accomplished a lot for our country, even when the hardest period came, the pandemic. I wish our country may find another President like Duterte.

Thank you for reading!
