Striking the 2010 Presidential elections

April 11, 2010 Write a Comment Pilipinas, Politricks

There are things that we do that direct us to where we are at the very moment. Some that we could not maneuver away from. Things we could not change. Permanent things. Scary things.

My job schedule did not allow me to renew my registration to be able to vote at the 2010 Presidential elections and countless other minor reasons. I’m not really stoked at voting for this election. There’s no one in the roster that I’d vote. None! And it’s not about not taking responsibility for the future of the Philippines it’s just that I don’t think voting will ever change this country. No! No one that we give the available seat to would make a better Philippines. (Continued…)

Voting guide for the automated 2010 Presidential Elections

January 29, 2010 3 comments Pilipinas, Tutorials

Before you head out with your classy shoes and outfit to your designated polling precinct, it’s helpful to know what to bring. So, I’m listing things to remember or bring during the 2010 Presidential Elections day.

• Voter’s ID or any valid national ID.
• Your list, kodigo, of who you’re voting for. Why? Because there’s only one ballot for each voter.

  Note: Do not overvote. Meaning voting for extra number of candidates as it will invalidate your vote for that political seat. See guide below:

  • One(1) President
  • One(1) Vice President
  • Twelve(12) Senators
  • One(1) Congressman
  • One(1) Governor
  • One(1) Mayor
• Bringing your own pen or marker is not necessary. That will be provided as you vote. And you have to return it.

See, there’s not much to bring! Just in case no one’s giving out snacks, remember to have something to munch on if ever you get hungry as you vote but not those messy ones, please, because any unnecessary marking on your ballot might might invalidate it. Steps after the jump! (Continued…)

Bought votes!

Politicians now win elections by being their parent’s kid. An easy investment but an expensive one. It means sending them kids to well-known universities abroad. Add more color and depth to their CV. Them who brings new world ideas to a stagnant third world country. With the backing of the masa tax it’s easy. The money that should have been invested on reforming barren lands for housing and utilizing enriched lands for growing crops but we kept sowing bad seeds, always, and grow crap instead.

Jose Rizals’ kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan is true here. Them kids, you know. We are funding our future’s leaders. Not bad for an idea until idea itself lost its meaning. By sending these kids to the new world they start to grow. They learn to become a property of the brave new world. Our maya learns it’s cooler to fly in the width of an eagle. They become the insatiable prey for new age ambitions. They don’t understand how it is to dream big because they’ve become bigger. They’ve grown and flew and dusted the old dusts away.

Come elections, how about we line our vision with a leader who dreams like us. Build together. No radical minds just plain old walk on a flat planet before our educated heads started to understand how the world goes round and around still thinking that we’d be on top. That will never happen not in our lifetime or maybe not after all.

Let’s skew the earth a bit and take control.
