Who to vote, "Election 2019"

 

I haven’t thought of writing about how a person like me can influence a vote but hey just try to see it in a perspective of a non-partisan voter.

See, my votes have always been influenced by personal connection and or knowing the advocacy of a party. Even if you check my post, I only endorse political aspirants that are known to me or have at least touched a life that is closest to me. Atty. Arellano, he is a mentor, he does not have to ask me but I will definitely take a cudgel for a guy like him, up close and personal he does not ask for money. Pay by giving mangoes and native chicken that’s all good, that is why he is fondly called “CHIEF” in LAWIN Office. Atty. Chel Diokno, he is an advocate of human rights, do I have to say more about a guy who represented against all odds for twenty freaking years (check the story of Reynaldo Davila) a case that nobody even wanted to take? Mar Roxas when others will forsake him because he stood up for a friend that seems to make one bad decision to another (whom I do not like personally). For party list hands downs it should be KABATAAN party list. I really hope though that they will not be easily influenced or be eaten by a system that is so rotten to the core. This is a party list that has been advocating for the youth, and is represented by a very astute and driven young lady, Sarah Elago, who happens to advocate for Filipino Culture through dance and politics.

It is really crazy and scary how people would be interested with a negative attribute than the positive. If you search their names, tendency is their name shall be associated with far leftist, socialism, NPA or very cruel negative stories written by paid journalist, or what we call image consultants!!!

In my class, I am very careful albeit opinionated on views regarding politics in general and issues relating to world economics but it does not necessarily take away that chance that I can influence people to my way of thinking.

Being in authority, gives you that responsibility to influence correctly. When I am personally asks who to vote then I say who it is and encouraged people to be smart and discerning who to vote.

I am saddened actually that others think I am a lawless person or advocating lawlessness because of how I think and how I defend certain type of political aspirants. Again, just because I can converse very well in our language, Filipino at hindi maging pangkal sa pagmungkahi ng angkop ako ay kagyat na isang suwail sa batas na mamayan . I made it a point to study my native tongue because I came from a family of advocates who believed that we should have our own national language to strengthen our nationalistic identity since we have 8 major regional dialects and about 185 ethno dialects spoken in about 7000 ++++ islands.

Image consultants and paid journalist will say otherwise, but just because it is written in blogs and broadsheets it doesn’t mean it is true. Just because we are advocates of human rights, equal rights and education does not make us members of New People’s Army (I do not believe in armed conflict), Red Army (Socialism does not have color, it was just attributed it to a color for political gain) and most definitely not a terrorist (again I do not tolerate physically hurting innocent people for political gain).

Politics and religion are two topics I veer away from because I have personal advocacy’s that I fight for. I am a humanist, meaning I take humane treatment of everything everyone to the core of my being. I am not a politician that will care for a community so that I can gain from them and be famous. I have been living under a rock for quite some time (prefers that way) and I can always go back so that we can flourish without being noticed. Nor am I a religious fanatic that will bend the people to my way of thought and pray my prayers. Empathy and respect is part of being a humanist. Maybe others are still learning as evolution is constantly changing. Or maybe others have not evolved yet and has not reached the humanist stage.



I asked the Tindog Representative to help me campaign for Chief Are

He is mentoring me, our first case of learning is Michael White, the American tourist victimize by the Tanim Bala issue in NAIA
