Well, as I make this blog, the British voters were finished to vote for this day and the Conservatives are leading, as in grabbing more parliamentary seats than their rival party, Labour and the Liberal Democrats and it also marks that it will be three days away and it is judgment day here in our beloved democratic country.

Ads here, ads there, banners here, banners there, Facebook campaigning here, Facebook campaigning there. That's what the Philippines elections is all about. CAMPAIGNING THROUGHOUT. More effort and talk, and more money to spend. The candidates are willing to sing and dance for you just to get their vote to you. It's all about charisma and popularity here and I kind of envying the United Kingdom and the United States in their way of campaigning. Not much road work, not much banners, streamers of the candidates' faces at all because they want their country to be clean at all times because there is the word TOURISM and in their campaigning speeches, I can see the platform going and the future is bright, it's all about professionalism at work and if the election day goes and ended the polls, it is always a peaceful one, I mean, no killings, like here in the country, the losing candidates accepts and congratulate and support his rival to his platform. That's what I wanted to see in our country but it is not. Pure sheer black propaganda here, pure sheer black propaganda there. What's next? Corruption?

That's why there are rich countries under us. We were formerly second to the richest country in Asia alone because of the intelligent projects by Ferdinand Marcos but he changed his image from having good governance in him to a merciless dictator. Now, we are second to the last I think as the richest. Wow, because of CORRUPTION of the previous administrations, including the Marcos'. Also, I noticed to our politicians that some of them are hungry for a seat in any position, that's why they used violence and more just to win the seat and also, not to mention vote buying and again, black propaganda, I mean, why do they have to do that? Is because they are scared of losing power and whatnot? It's a nil, come on. That's how the immaturity of the Philippine politics goes. Plus, a lot of liars and promises. I hate that, seriously.

As I make this blog, I am NOT against nobody at all, at any candidate, I just wanna see a better Philippines for like twenty years, thirty years ago and never tasted that kind of feeling when every Filipino is up again. So, we all want change, right? But who will stand for CHANGE? So, as I type this again, it's midnight, dawn rather, and it's two days away come Election Day here and I just wish that everything is set, with no failures in the automated election, our first, and hopefully to every single Filipino in this 7,107 islands, that we must choose the best candidate that we think that he/she can stand for change. I am just a 17-year old boy, but I can feel the masses' will for change.
