Praying for Filipino People to Be Conscientious

     The filing of candidacy is from Oct 1-6, 2024, and politicians are scrambling to get noticed. Some of them resorted to TV advertisements just to get noticed. It's sickening to see them trapos(traditional politicians) indirectly manipulating the poor public. The first to publicly announce it's line up for Senators is the administration of BBM.

     This line-up exemplifies there is no loyalty in Philippine politics. I spent half of my life in Malaysia and Singapore and party loyalty is prominent. The politicians don't hop political parties, and the voters don't vote for the individual names, rather on the political party. In the Philippines, it's all personality based. The administration's line-up is a mix from different parties, some even ran from President against BBM in the last election. Automatically, the wealthy elite, who have the means and opportunities to wage a campaign, rules the political contest.

     I am not inking a single one in this line up and I strongly pray that the poor masses don't fall into the trap of BBM and co-horts, popularizing Marcos-style of dole-outs. If there will be reliable candidates from other parties, I will vote for them. If none, then my ballot will be blank.
