my favorite moment in Phil. History..

I’m watching the GMA Anniversary thinking, why wasn’t I born during the most exciting and trying years in Philippine history, which, in my opinion are the best because it brought out the best in the Filipino! People power!

The sheer image of Ninoy Aquino, martyred, lying in his coffin, in itself shows that the Filipino is worth dying for. Anyone who died for our land knew that we are too great a race to fall on a ruthless leader’s hands, subjecting people to much grief and injustice that they didn’t deserve. Amazing how we can rise above the greatest challenges to our democracy.

So please, this May, make the RIGHT choice. Do not vote for anyone who tolerates corruption, steals from the government and defends the wrongdoings of the current admin… I knnw where my vote’s going! ;)

Random facts.

Hospital blankets freak me out. Haha.

Hospital freebies such as basins, cups and thermometers are very useful at home. Haha.

I’m random.

Honesty.. In Alex Lacson's 12 Little Things (follow the link)

‘Honesty, more than anything, is what makes a good leader. It is the solid core of the character of every great leader in history. It is the core of one’s character, says George Washington. Remove honesty, and man has no character…

‘Given a good leader, the Filipino will attain great heights because the Filipino is inherently a good follower.’ -Ninoy Aquino

‘It is enough for good people to do nothing for the evil ones to succeed.’-Dr. Jose Rizal

We are all part of the problem. We are all partly to blame.

But the good thing is, we are also the answer. We are also the solution.
>excerpts fr Alex Lacson’s 12 Little Things.

LET US DO OUR DUTY AS CITIZENS THIS COMING ELECTIONS. LET’S VOTE FOR THE BEST LEADERS SO THAT OUR NATION WILL RISE! :)

How I See Politics

People always tell me that politics is such a dirty game. But to me, it only becomes dirty when we allow it to be so. We always choose the ‘lesser evil’. Sad, isn’t it? However if we allow the good ones to succeed during elections, we wouldn’t have to worry about corruption, among others.

The problem lies in the mentality that because others are so trapo, somehow the less trapo or good ones should join the bandwagon. But see, this is the problem; we do not solve it by being part & parcel of the system we are trying to change.

To those who will run this coming elections, please think. Who are you doing this for and why? How much are you spending on ads vs sustainable devt programs?

To those who will vote, pls think about this: if our leaders spend a lot of money for the greater good, it would’ve made a bigger difference than seeing their faces and greetings everywhere.
