Written on: 5.16.2010 Time: 9:14:00 AM After seeing the results of the recently concluded 2010 Presidential elections, I was overflowing with emotions and comments regarding them. However, I decided to cool down a little and get it off my mind for a while. After all, I might end up regretting words that I've written after some time. Okay. I'm going to get this straight and short but I warn you, readers, it might not be "sweet". HAHA! :D May 10, 2010 - I was with my family abroad. Our flight back to Manila was scheduled at 9:55 PM which means none of the eligible voters in my family could vote. (Which, BTW, really sucks!) We arrived in Manila around 11:45 PM and we were welcomed with a horrific news that ESTRADA ranked 2nd in the presidential race. It's sad that people use completely erroneous analogies in considering who they should vote for. For instance, when an acquaintance of mine asked a taxi driver why he voted for Erap, he said that during Erap's time he could still let three days without working pass by without worrying how his family could eat. Furthermore, he compared it to the situation these days, that even if he works his tail off day in and day out, he could barely provide for his family's daily necessities. He said he was "actually" for Gibo, but knowing that he was affiliated with PGMA (Yes, she's still president as of the moment), he opted to vote for Erap. ONE. We really can't blame these people who do not UNDERSTAND the real situation. The economic demise of our country is shared globally however, the news they receive have been veneered with so much PGMA-hate that they receive altered and incorrect information. Having said that, I think that both the media and the people need to work hand-in-hand in acquiring and disseminating proper information. The media needs to help the public understand what's really going on and the public should, in return, try to at the very least analyze what they receive. Not everything on TV News is true. After all, they still have to consider their marketability and styles. TWO. It is with great melancholy that I express my disappointment with all the Filipino voters for letting one of, if not THE best president we could've had just slip away. YES, I AM TALKING ABOUT GILBERT "GIBO" TEODORO, JR. My friends and family know how dedicated I am in supporting his platform all throughout the campaign so I may be biased in one way or another. I won't be writing down how stupid the Filipinos are for not voting for him just because he is in PGMA's party or how among all the candidates, he is the most competitive and qualified, not to mention charismatic. Everyone else has done that for me and he himself, has proven those things early on during his campaign. I would just like to express one thing, Gibo was one of the best things that has ever happened to Philippine politics. He revolutionized not only politics but leadership in general. He gave us a model of how leaders, from small groups to those handling our country, should be. He brought back the importance of decency and respect in leadership. Among all the candidates, he may be the only one who didn't badmouth any of his competitors. He remained silent despite the attacks and carried on with his campaign because he knew that it's what the Filipinos need badly. THREE. By now, we are quite sure that Noy will be our next president, unless something happens to him. I feel bad for myself that I actually have tendencies to wish that something happens to him but then I am trying my best to block off all those tendencies and completely embrace that he indeed is our next president. Moving on, I realize that it is way better to have him as president rather than have history repeat itself with Erap. To Noy:
-that you won't be a corrupt official -that you will punish PGMA
WRAP UP. As a solid Gibo supporter, I would like to finish this up with the greatest thing I've learned from him. Let's just all move on and see for ourself how the "path" we've chosen turns out. Many of us have chosen Noy and we have to respect that. Faith is what got him there so it is also important that we just believe in ourselves that we made the right (it may not me the "best" and the "most correct") decision. ♥Sara

the blogger Name: Mary Sara Gremille Gender: Female Sign: Virgo Location: Cainta, Rizal Hello! I love writing so I put up this blog. I don't write on a regular basis. Whenever I’m feeling it and there's internet connection, I blog. There are a lot of things I blog about. The things I watch, the vacations I go on to and my digital creations. I'm a big Miley Cyrus fan so you might see entries about her and her songs here. I love watching Heroes. I am interested in pop culture. I am a junior BS Life Sciences major at the Ateneo de Manila University. Someday, I can see myself as a successful cardiologist. I love travelling and USA, Greece and the Philippines are the three countries that I would like to take a tour in. Photography is just one of the things I do for fun and I'm not really serious about it. My love for being behind the camera is just as much as I love being in front of it. I have a lot of dreams and I will do everything just to reach them. I have many fears, too. One weird thing about me is that I am afraid of baby dolls. There are also a lot of things I adore. I love shoes, chocolate, pink, books, show business and a lot more. I can say that I'm an above average student. I like Science, Computer and most especially English. I don't hate Math but I just don't like it as much as I like the other three subjects I have stated. I was born and raised in Pangasinan. Although it is a province, I am proud of being there. There are a lot of advantages, you know. I don't have a big clique with my high school friends. Actually, it has always been just me and my best friend. We just happen to be really friendly. Haha! We go with girls who have their own cliques but we sure get along. I prefer chilling out in one of my friends' houses than going to the mall. I love watching movies be it animated, drama, comedy or romance. I'm not picky when it comes to food. I eat a lot of things. This explains my current body built. Alright, now you are oriented with who I am. Just keep on reading my posts for you to know me even more. ;) the tweets |
