Dear Fellow Filipino ,
Good day to all of you! Before I begin my letter... just a disclaimer, for my friends and for those people who, personally, know me.. Yet, after seeing how events in our nation have transpired the past few weeks and talking with some friends, I feel the urge to share with you my personal thoughts and feelings.
Over the weekend, we saw the completion of two major political alliances for this coming Senate Elections that has just began there in the Philippines . Now we have two political forces with familiar faces nonetheless, on opposite sides of the fences. On one end, you have Tito Sotto and Tessie Aquino-Oreta who were two major stalwarts of the opposition and the FPJ Campaign in 2004 hobnobbing
with the woman (Pres. GMA) whom they claimed to have cheated FPJ in the last Presidential Elections. On the other side of the fence, you see Manny Villar, the former house speaker who was actually responsible for impeaching Erap now part of the United Opposition who's now led by no less than... Erap himself. Now if you don't see anything wrong with this picture then you must be one of the many Filipinos who have accepted this very sad reality that there is, indeed, no permanent ideals which our government leaders stand up for but, rather they just go where their self-interests can best be served. It is this kind of politics, why I no longer wonder.. why good people like Ramon Magsaysay Awardee Mayor Jesse Robredo of Naga City , or outstanding
Bulacan Governor Josie Dela Cruz will find it hard or worse, never be elected to national positions.
It is with these in mind, that I'd like to share with you what are events this coming May elections that will precisely, make us consider leaving the Philippines :
1.) If former COMELEC Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano of Hello Garci fame, wins in his bid to become Congressman of Bukidnon...seeking to replace a good man no less in incumbent Cong. Neric Acosta... We would really be the laughing stock of the whole world if we allow a man with the reputation of Garci to be one of our so called "Honorable Gentlemen".
2.) If Dancing Queen Tessie Aquino Oreta reclaims her seat at the Senate... I hope that all of us would still remember that dance that she did during the 2001 impeachment hearings after they voted to overrule the
decision of then Chief Justice Davide... let us make sure that people like her never make it to the Senate again.
3.) If Richard Gomez becomes a senator... what does he know about making laws? We already have the likes of Bong Revilla and Lito Lapid in the Senate and their performance, or lack of it, would be a reason enough not to elect another actor who has no prior experience in government to the distinguished halls of the Senate.
4.) If Gringo Honasan wins again.... have we not learned our lesson? I can't believe that just because someone is charismatic, then we will just elect him to become one of our senators despite the fact that he has time and again caused so much instability in our country... if we want a military junta similar to that of Thailand ...
then lets all vote for this guy....
5.) If Manny Pacquiao becomes Congressman of General Santos City ... everybody loves Manny the Boxing Champ but Manny the Lawmaker???! Let's be
realistic here, Manny is our Hero, alright but I think it takes more than just great boxing skills and a desire to serve to be able to make appropriate laws that would help uplift the lives of the many Filipinos who live in Poverty.
6.) If Lito Lapid wins for Mayor of Makati City ... I don't like incumbent mayor Jojo Binay as well, but Lito Lapid as city mayor of the country's finance and business center?!?! And do you really think he is from Makati and has good plans for the city? The Arroyo's asking someone like him to run just goes to show you how much love and concern this government has for our country.
7.) If Chavit Singson becomes a Senator, Illegal Gambling = Chavit... enough, I said..!!
Now if all of these 7 things happen during this coming election, then don't be surprised if I decide to circulate this letter once in for all, for us to
realize we're not properly exercising our rights to judge whom we know, but rather " what he knows "... Like I said, I feel that I have done much for this country but I think its time that Filipinos must become more vigilant and critical in selecting our leaders for the sake of our future and the generations that will go beyond us. So I appeal to every Filipino, who asks what can I actually do for my country... Choose and vote for the right people this coming elections, huwag na tayong magpaloko sa mga kandidatong maganda lang ang jingle o gwapo lang sa mga poster. Let us choose leaders who have a good track records of service and who are genuinely committed towards serving our country.
Manindigan naman tayong lahat para sa ating Kinabukasan at para sa Kapakanan ng ating mga Kabataan!
Ito ang ating PILIPINAS..maipagmamalaki pa ba natin sya buong mundo???
