Who will you support this coming 2010 Election?
How can we determine whether or not a Presidential candidate is really a real reform and a good leader that we can entrust our support to?
I believe that aside from the great expectations that Filipinos feel, the biggest problem is the lack of values and principles of our government leaders. It seems that graft and corruption in our government has become so relevant that many Filipinos now feel that it is an strategy that can no longer be change in our society. Sadly, many of us have accepted it as part of our way of life. We should change that kind of thinking. Imagine if the billions of pesos that is stolen by our leaders are used to create decent jobs, then I don’t think Filipinos will still be forced to leave their families behind just to earn money abroad. A good leader should have a good record of moral integrity, upholding the rule of law and fighting against graft and corruption in our country.
A good leader should also have a clean record in public service.
A reform leader realizes that he is in government to serve and not to be served. Many of our government leaders use their power and popularity to gain certain privileges. We have even heard stories of government leaders using government funds and road projects to benefit their own companies. Some government leaders are wasting millions every month posing in TV and Radio commercials trying to get the support of people by showing us that they actually understand our needs. I hope we will be more careful and no longer be fooled by them.
Being a leader is not beholden to the rule of the our country. Sadly, many of our current leaders continue to place the interests of a few rich businessmen above the interests of millions of suffering Filipinos. This happens since in every election, a candidate would need to spend millions or even billions to have a fighting chance and this becomes an opportunity for the ruling elite to buy the support of the candidate in the form of huge campaign contributions. These is a challenge for all of us ordinary Filipinos to chip in their own share of resources no matter how small to help support a real reform and alternative candidate.
A reform leader should have a solid record in helping the poor and powerless in our society.
A reform leader should be someone that can make every Filipino believe and hope again for a better future. He/She must be someone who can unite and inspire all of us to believe that anything is possible if we all work together to promote good governance in our country.
Are we finally be able to elect an inspiring, morally-upright, effective and reform President in this coming 2010 election?
Almost all of us hope and pray for the goodness of our country. The key to the success of this country is in our hand.
