Barangay Election

Yesterday,after i went to the market,me and my mother went out to vote to exercise our rights.There were many people walking down the street,familiar,strange faces,they are everywhere,oh and there are lots of policemen but most of them are sitting in the corner of a store hehehe.was there a traffic?of course!That's why we just walked.

In front of the school,there were people who were blocking the way,giving out flyers of their candidates,those from my place attempted to give me flyers but i chose not to get it.why?what for?no matter how i memorized their names,i dont know those people.those are the ones that i have just seen during the campaign but who are they anyways?i was asked by my mother along the way whom shall i vote for a barangay captain,i told her i'll just cross it and leave it that way,she told me to vote for her candidate,i told her i dont know him and for me he's not qualified,she grunts but she didnt say any word anymore coz she knew me.

Inside the precinct,i immediately looked for my name and went inside,the assigned teachers gave me my ballot and i quietly went to a corner and started writing.i just voted for 3 people for Kagawad,those 3 that i carefully chosen and i know that are capable with their duties if they'll win.although I knew them eversince I was a kid,I also knew that they're the ones that our Barangay could depend upon whether they're a public servant or not.

And last night,at about 7pm,there was a parade, a man was holding a megaphone announcing who won being a Barangay Chairman together with the new Kagawads.They're all happy.The 3 people that i voted werent included and they didnt win.but it's ok.i know even if they didnt make it,they can still help other people and our Barangay.

To those who won,i congratulate them,for having the position,and for being one of those people from the government.....CORRUPT!

But I still hope they could make a difference so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt....hmmmm!

Executive Clemency for Erap

It's now all over the news,President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo granted Former President Joseph Estrada an Executive Clemency,after more than 6years of house arrest,Joseph Estrada is now a Free Man.The President signed the said pardon after he publicly admitted that he wont seek any other elective office.(read more....)

Many are wondering why it was just being discussed and yet,she immediately signed and granted it?According to Sec.Puno,it was being discussed long time ago and they've already thinking about it even before.

Well,if a person like the former President Joseph Estrada who's been guilty of PLUNDER was able to be freed,how about reviewing the cases of those small people and has no power over the government or whatsoever and yet they are rotting in jail because of small crimes,and those who didnt really commit any crime but were just victims of circumstances?I bet it will be more easy for our authorities to give them pardon right?

I wish!

Glorietta Bombing

There are other people who only think of themselves and not the others.They dont care if innocent people will get hurt or killed from the result of their anger or shall i say pride?Whatever! The likes of those people were the ones who's behind the Glorietta bombing,they deserved to be punished by taking the lives of those who are just starting to live their lives,those whose dreams are about to be reached,those whose families are depending on them,those kids who were waiting for their parents to come home....

I remember the time when somebody planted a bomb at LRT Blumentritt station,there were lots who died and got injured.That was Rizal day,2001 if im not mistaken.I was still working in PLDT,and that was the exact time when i usually ride a train in that station,I was lucky and i knew God saved me because it was my rest day when it happened.everybody from my office sent me text messages and asked where i was because they knew i was coming from that way.Boy was i really glad that i didnt have to go to work that day!but my heart went to the victims and their families.

Last Friday,it was Glorietta 2,latest news said that 11 have already died and 116 were injured from the blast.i used to frequent that place it's always full of people from all walks of life.I was thinking if those people behind it really human?because if they were,they will have a conscience and will not do such thing.ahhh...this world's getting crowded,it's a dog eats dog!a survival of the fittest!what will happen in the future?how about our kids? will they be safe walking in the streets even in a broad daylight?no,it's not safe anymore,and it's scary!and it's getting scarier when most of the newspapers' headline were chaos and crimes all around the globe.

I only wish that this would stop so no more innocent people will be killed nor harmed again.

Let's spread peace and love to everyone because this world has been given to us to enjoy and not to harm each other.It's only once that we will pass this world,why not give ourselves a chance and make this world a nice place to live in.

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH!
