PH Election 2022: Vote for someone who is/has...

With each passing day, the day when Filipinos will be able to exercise their rights draws closer. With only 9 days to go till the national election, millions of Filipinos will choose their own presidential and vice presidential candidates to lead the country for the next six years. Their 12 senators are on line with this, by enacting more efficient laws in the country. Congressman of districts in the provinces, Governor and vice governor of different provinces, as well as mayors of each municipality, will be chosen on the provincial level.

That being said, the election this year is critical for the country. We are all aware that the covid 19 virus has caused a pandemic in our country. The epidemic impacted a variety of sectors, including MSMEs, tourism, agriculture, and health, causing the country's economy to collapse. Human rights were violated and the rate of unemployment rises. This is the reason why we require new leaders who will restore our country to its former glory.

But how can we contribute to our objective of making the country better again?

Aside from being a good citizen, another option is to vote in the upcoming election on May 9th. Our vote counts. Although we have opposing viewpoints on politics, I hope we can exercise our right to vote for someone who will make this country a better place to live.

How are we going to do it? Vote for someone who is/has...

Clear Track Record

Even today, our country's worst opponent is corrupt politicians. One of the reasons why our country is still not doing well is because of this. Rather than fulfilling their job as a public servant, these politicians want to make more money and keep it in their pockets while their constituents are in need of assistance. Transparency is required. This is the type of platform we need look for a candidate becase we need to know where every penny of our taxes is going. The budgets granted to politicians must be transparent so that we may determine if they are truly delivering for their constituents. Furthermore, we should not vote for someone who has been convicted of a different crime.

Good Educational Background

Politicians can be compared to people applying for jobs. They want to help us, so we must ensure that they are physically capable of doing so. I know for a fact that some Filipinos who did not graduate succeeded well in their chosen career, but I don't believe we can apply the same logic to politicians. Politicians must have sufficient knowledge of the public sector, the economy, and the country's laws to ensure that they understand what they are doing.

A better platform

Politicians have time to campaign for themselves in every election, and we voters should observe and listen as they give out their platforms if they win. A platform that is clear, feasible, and efficient is necessary.

Better pandemic response

After two years of the pandemic, our country is still suffering. Who are the politicians who were there to assist those in need when our country is in lockdown? When our frontliners need support, and many Filipinos ask for assistance? Who are the politicians that gave up their own safety to do their job as a government employee? We should all remember those individuals because it only implies they are capable of leading the country while we fight the pandemic.

And lastly, a listener.

Politicians who are open to criticism and who will ensure that all sectors are heard are very important.

Reminder: Fake news is especially prevalent throughout election season, so double-check anything you read and watch.

Stop political dynasty.

Please, don't believe in fake news.

Don't be blinded.

Stating facts is not negative campaigning. Acceptance is the key.

Your vote will make a difference.

Politics in the Philippines today is intensely chaotic and confusing. It so hard to choose whom shall we believe and vote. I mean, well I know all of them have lapses and edges. I don't really know. I just hope that whoever wins, we will support him/her.

Tama po. Ang iba pa naman sa Pilipino kahit ilang beses na narecount at napatunayan na walang dayaan tulad na lamang last vp race, 3 beses ang recount at mismong supreme court na ang nagsabi ay hindi pa rin naniniwala ang iba.
