I believe many of us got sick of the election fever as it goes hotter and hotter as May 10 comes nearer. I believe many of us are tired of the political controversies, advertisements, and candidates' dirty tactics. Election makes all people kind, good, and deserving. Everyone shares smile and friendly to all. Everyone lifts his/her own chair and say, " I am the deserving." Everyone says he/she wants to serve the nation. Everyone says he/she can bring change. All are damn crazy lies because everyone, yes, everyone holds selfish motives for running a public position!
Many of us criticize the government ways. Many of us would throw dirty and rude words to Philippine election procedure or the election per se. Many would say this and that. Many will never be convinced. Many will never believe. Many will just keep on throwing muds to everyone at least not to themselves. Many things are negative.
But I keep on asking, why do people keep on doing these? Why do people keep on pretending that they are not a part of the dirty system? Candidates and their supporter says they revealing things because of their concern to the country and people. I see it the other side, it is not really their concern to the poor Filipinos, it is their great concern to their personal intentions. Of course, if they win, they'll hold power. And if whom they are supporting wins, of course they will benefit. This is the reason why I do not believe that they are doing it for the country. Because at the bottom line, they are doing it for themselves to have an advantage of several political and government position.
And what will happen if they lose the battle? They will say, they were cheated? And what's next? Another EDSA revolution? Another controversies? Another battles in media? Another crimes? Well, these are Filipino ways. Never sport. Never accepting failure. The bad truth about us Filipinos.
It is not the election that will make change. It is not whom we voted this May 10. It is not whom we support. It is no other than but ourselves. Change will only happen if we change ourselves for something good. Change will never be in the hands of Villar, Gibo, Noy, Erap, Perlas, Gordon, Jamby and the other candidates in all positions. It is never theirs. I wonder why people give too much pressure on this election. I will only understand this if these people really wanted to provide change not at least to their pocket and selfish motives. I will only understand if I won't see any lapses to their goals. Or at least, i will understand if they are doing their fair share in making this country a better place through discipline. Moreover, corruption is not really the problem. It is the people who never stop their crab mentality. If only people and politicians will unite, I can see no problem.
Neither the election nor the election procedure is the problem, it is the people who run, who intervene and who do not believe in it make it a problem.POLITICS- the dirty politics that is really in everyone's system that makes things worst. We are in a worse scenario but people who keep on making things complicated make it worst.
