The circus comes to town…

February 9, 2010

We’ve been hearing so much from the candidates the last few months that I almost forgot that the official campaigning period just started. Right now everything is still a muddle of information–a combination of facts and rumors. I think people these days are really interested about the process. I’m sure that almost everyone will have an opinion. But we all better do our homework first. Do your research. Look for facts. Reading and hearing other people’s opinions are important but know what they are based on. Apply a critical eye on everyhing you read and hear. Hopeully, you’ll find a candidate (or candidates since we’re voting for several posts, both national and local) that you can fully back and support. Should that fail, at least find someone who will create the least damage. That sounds vey cynical but the truth is the perfect candidate does not (yet) exist. In any case, we must all still exercise our right to choose our leaders.

So, let the fun begin!

    you’re alive! goody. hehe.

    i am taking this elections so seriously for some reason. i mean i actually wake up mornings thinking about who to vote for, it’s crazy! i think i dreamed about it once but i’m not certain. gah.

    i just began looking over at nick perlas’ website. so much info, one candidate pa lang. will prioritize my short list na lang siguro kasi masisiraan ako ng bait. and i have yet to check the VPs! gah.

    Yes, alive. Barely. hahaha.

    I still have no idea who I’m going to vote for. I don’t even have a short list. The front runners have very serious flaws, which really disturbs me. And, yes, I also came to the realization that we have several positions to vote for, including party list! :-)

    Definitely lots of work to do on this. Maybe we can compare notes sometime. hehehe.
