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!

Walis Tingting

Coconut tree is known to be the "Tree of Life" because of its many uses.from its leaves,fruits,trunk,coconut husks,roots,there's nothing that can be put to a waste.and one of its by-product is the "Walis Tingting".

Walis Tingting or broomstick is used for sweeping the floor.it is common to every Filipino household .it can be found in any supermarkets and from your nearby sari sari stores.it is made out of the rib of dried coconut leaves that are binded together(see picture attached).Its price ranges from 10pesos - 15pesos each.
It is every houswives,housemaids and street sweepers' friend.They are the ones who "abuse" them by constant use.

Also,Friendship is being compared to walis tingting because of its tight bond.Now,will it sweep actor-politician Joey Marquez to jail once proven that he's guilty of having bought a lot of walis tingting and overpriced it by P462,708? It was said to be found by Commission on Audit (COA).Find out here INQ7.

How about using those walis tingting to sweep all those corrupt government officials?hmmm just a thought :p
PEACE!
