Me vs my sister (Presidential Candidate)
Election is fast approaching. Next month will now be the election time and for the other countries, like China, voting time already started yesterday. I was not aware or it, not until my auntie working in Hongkong posted in her facebook on how long the line is.
Back to topic:
We are all aware that lots of people are having a debates on social medias with regards to who they want to become the president. I see people who are friends with each other but ends up becoming emenies just because they have different preferences as to who they want to become the president. Lots of arguments, debates. Friends becoming enemies and so on.
Me and my sister also has different preferences as to we want to become the president. She even went to a grand rally of Leni here in Dagupan last April 8 to show support on her.
I wont tell you who I want to become the president baka may mang away din saken dito. Charot! Haha.
I did not ask something from her if why does she want Leni, because I know that it will somehow end up with a debate. Haha.
I even give her campaign materials like shirts (picture below)
I got this shirt from the company where I am working because our boss is maka-LENI and gave this to us for free. Anyone is free to get a shirt, I do not have plans in getting one but then I remember that my sister is maka-Leni that is why I get one inorder for me to give it to her.
I sent her the pic of the shirt the moment I got it and she was happy.
If you are asking if why does my sister wants Leni, below is her reply to her former highschool adviser when her former adviser asked her if why does she wants Leni. I just saw their conversations in facebook because my sister shared a post with regards to Leni.
Here are exactly the words from my sister:
"Hello po, Ma'am __. Unang una ho sa lahat ma'am, Hindi po siya sinungaling and in the difficult times, nagpapakita po siya at siya ang nangunguna sa paglutas ng kahit ano mang problema, trahedya man po o sakuna. Napatunayan ho niya na hindi siya corrupt o magnanakaw dahil sa dami po ng nagawa niya, lahat po may resibo in fact as we all know po siya ang may pinaka mataas na audit ratings ng Comission on Audit. Meron din ho siyang konkreto at siguradong plano para sa Pilipinas at alam niya kung pano ito gawin . At higit po sa lahat, ma'am eh sa lahat po ng tumatakbong pagka pangulo eh siya ang pinaka kwalepikada dahil isa siya sa mga kwalepikadang ekonomista at abogada na kailangan ng bawat isang mamamayan na Pilipino. At isa ho ako sa milyon-milyong Pilipino na naghahangad ng magandang kinabukasan.. siya ay isang mahusay na lider. Napakit ito lalo po sa panahon ng pandemya. Kahit madaling araw, siya po ay tumutugon sa mga humihingi ng tulong. Madami po siyang proyektong nagaw gaya ng libreng sakay,bakuna,covid test, tutor para sa mga estudyant,ayuda PPE set at marami pa pong iba. Nanindigan po siya para sa ating bansa at hindi tayo itininda sa China. Kung iisa isahin ko po, bakit si Leni ang napili kong presidente, baka ho abutin tayo ng mahabang mahabang FACTS ☺️ Maraming salamt ho sa pagtatanong, Ma'am ___! 🌷🌸"
Teacher: Di kc transparent mga ito.ang nakita ko ay yon pumunta sya sa somewhere sa Benguet at nagpapicture lng at Wala naman itinulong sa mga biktima
My sister: Yung sa bagyong Ompong po ba yon, ma’am? Very impossible naman pong pumunta lang siya don para magpa picture lang at walang naitulong. Bumisita po siya don para i assess victims ng situation nag meeting po sila kasama ng evacuees and talked about what kind of help they need kasi marami pong taga doon ang nagsabi na marami talagang nagbibigay ng relief goods at mga damit pero yung biggest problem po nila is livelihood and housing kaya gumawa po siya ng paraan. Yung problema po kasi ma’am is that many people get blinded by what they see on social media. Kung ano po nakita nilang post na pambabash, papaniwalaan nila. Dati po hindi pa ako sure kung sino iboboto ko kaya I kept quiet hindi ako nag share ng mga ganito pero I did a research lahat sila of course may nagawang mabubuti, I think qualified naman po yung iba pero para po sa akin, lamang si VP Leni at siya ang pinaka qualified in terms of competence, integrity and track record. 🌸🌷
Teacher: Yong sinabi mong you did research is exactly the same ang sinabi Ng pinagtanungan ko if why Leni ang iboboto.di ba scripted ito.dont get me wrong kc naghahanap pa rin ako ng facts para the best Ang ibobito ko
my sister: Exactly po ma'am. Don't get me wrong din po there's no such thing as scripted po. Same kami siguro in some ways it is only because we based it on facts po because we actually did a research ☺️🌷🌸
Respect is all we need during this time. We are just people who have different preferences in life and with different beliefs / different ways of thinking / different way in seeing things and just like with religion, respecting each others belief. Because at the end of the election, no matter who will win, we just have to believe in them. We just have to pray that whoever will win, must be really deserving for that position and let's just pray that that person possesess a pure heart and will always think about if what is best for the Philippines.
With this kind of matter I can't say anything against them or favourable about them. Even we do research we still can't say or we can't even prove that those are for real, unless each of us have seen those efforts that they keep on saying. Of course just like us, writer's would say different perspectives by their own preferences and so we can also read different stories about those people, negative and positive. We cannot guarantee that those are enough proof to say that they are eligible or not eligible for the position. But anyway, as you said let's just respect each choices and perspectives. Hopefully we can smartly choose the right person and truly deserving with that position, as we all need to have a great leader.
