Elections 2010
It’s been a while since I wrote about politics. I used to eat, breathe, and live politics, especially back when I was still affiliated with ab and himati. But despite the affinity for politics I never did get to help campaign for a better president, clean elections, and etcetera. A family event always got in the way, from campaigning for an uncle aiming for a seat in the council to family reunions in Aklan.
This time however I am taking a more active role or at least I hope to. People might ask why now when I’ve literally cut my cords to the organizations I supported way back in college. The only connection we now have is this uncanny friendship I have with my “twin” who’s sporting the whole ’save the philippines principles’ to a hilt. But that’s another story.
What probably jolted me into taking a more active stance in the 2010 elections is the fact that a big chunk of my salary goes to taxes. (insert plurk angry fisted emoticon please!) It’s not pretty I tell you, especially when I browse through some news feeds I subscribe to and see how rampant corruption is and how languid most of us are when it comes to the issue.
The US and most of the world is tickled pink by Obama’s win. I am not, however, about to be tickled by the news of who’s running or not in the 2010 Presidential Elections.
More articles about the upcoming elections real soon.
