Go out and Register for Election 2010

September 15, 2009

The nation goes to the polls anew next year to elect a new President, Governor, Mayor & Barangay Officials who will chart the destiny of this benighted land for the following years.
    
Considering the importance of elections in ridding the country of corrupt and inefficient public servants, all citizens of voting age ought to participate in the forthcoming political exercise.
   
And while many national and local politicians carefully position themselves as the ideal candidates by delivering fiery speeches containing lies and half-truths, the suffering people must not completely turn a deaf ear to the growing fears of many sectors of society.

 
An estimated one million voters across the country were reportedly delisted from the Commission on Elections roster following their failure to vote in the last two elections (2004 and 2007).

  
Let’s help the poll body, chaired by retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Jose Melo, in addressing the problem of voter disenfranchisement. This, if we want to protect the will of the electorate.
   
There’s still no guarantee that our candidates will be successful when facing the challenges of the office. A great mayoral candidate may still have a nervous breakdown, a governor may still yield to temptation when confronted with temptations while in office.

 

Even if the best candidate becomes the best office holder, unless the will of the people support him, then it won’t matter. If the public isn’t behind him, then others can take advantage, and exploit his unpopularity their own agendas.

 

We share the view of many that the credibility of  elections does not only depend on the actual counting of votes but on the registration of voters.
 
So, let’s go out and register now!

Aquino - Roxas In 2010

September 2, 2009

Yes it was Noynoy Aquino for President and Mar Roxas for Vice President.

I will stand with you.

Itutuloy natin ang Laban.

Hindi ko kayo pababayaan. Lalaban tayo.

We are on the threshold of a defining moment for this country.

This act of statesmanship by Sen. Roxas and Sen. Aquino’s emergence as the opposition’s presidential standard bearer rekindles the hope for a genuine overhaul of the Philippines corruption-ridden political landscape, te advent of honest and accountable government, and impetus for economic progress trickling down to the masses.

So it will be: Aquino-Roxas for 2010.

It will become a close fight between the Team of Noynoy Aquino, Mar Roxas, Kiko Pangilinan & Franklin Drilon versus the Team of Manny Villar and Willie Revillame for 2010 election.

Country above self, yan ang habilin sa aking ng aking ama.

Our nation is in trouble, our people are hungry, our government is bankrupt.

Noynoy and I share the belief: clean, hones,t and selfless public service.

We need to unite to achieve what we want.

We need to be a force for good.

I choose to lead the Liberal Party for unity.

We agreed to forget about ourselves.

This is about our people and ourt country:

I am announcing my support for Noynoy Aquino for President in 2010.

Our dream will be realized: good will win over evil.

I do this for unity in support of change.

I choose to make this sacrifice.

This is a ticket that’s one generation late, but it’s the realization of the same Aquino-Roxas tandem being worked out by Senators Gerry Roxas and Benigno Aquino Jr. that was ambushed by the declaration of martial law.
