"Sino Boto Mo?" Who will you vote?

Would you want to dream that someday Philippines will no longer be a third world country? Would you want to experience a country that can match the prosperity of Americans, Japanese or Europeans? Aren't you tired of all the inefficiency and corruptness of the government? Well, if you want our country to change and be able to experience a better future, it will all start with choosing the best candidates in the 2010 Philippine national elections.

The Philippines has two types of voters. First type of voters are those that are well educated and well informed who really desires this country to change by voting for the best candidates. The second type of voters are those that are not capable of choosing the best candidates not because they don't know how to read or write but because they don't have access to the different resources and information that will help them decide whom to vote. This blog was created to fill the gap between these second type of voters in the hope that the 2010 elections will be decided unitedly with only one type of voter, that is, voters who used his knowledge, conscience and faith to select the best candidate. The old and shameful attitude of choosing candidates through bribery is something we should leave behind now! Now, is the chance or else Philippines will still be a third world country forever. Now is the chance or else, Philippines will continue to send our mothers and fathers abroad to work as domestic helpers or construction workers. Now is the chance or else, Philippines will still continue to scatter as country with no identity and with a lot of conflicts. Now is the chance to choose leaders not just politicians!

As Filipinos, we all have endured everything that come our way, bet it martial law or people power revolutions. But, we must move fast as we are already being left behind not just by the Americans, Japanese and Europeans but the very Asean neighbors like Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. I must say our country has been moving fast already but we need to fuel up and move a little faster. We need to work harder and contribute to the country! In order for us to be able to move faster, let us vote for the right candidates. Let us join hands in creating a better future not only for us but for the whole world as well. We Filipinos are an intelligent and resilient race. Let us continue to prove that! Vote wisely!

As I've mentioned, in order to have a successful election, we must have only one type of voters, that is, voters who can vote wisely. Now, how can we reach out to those voters who are not properly informed? How do we make sure that all voters would know who's the best candidate for President or Vice President? How do we inform the voters who doesn't know how to read or write? How do we inform those people in the remote provinces who doesn't have Internet connection? How do we educate the voters who have been accustomed to leaving the elections to luck? Let's share information! Let's volunteer! Let's contribute!

"Sino Boto Mo?" Who will you vote? I know, it's very difficult to decide but through well informed voters, the Philippines 2010 national elections will surely pave the way for a better Philippines!
