AUTOMATED ELECTIONS
Nais kong ipahatid sa lahat ng kapwa ko Filipino ang aking pagbati sa isang matagumpay na kauna-unahang Automated Elections sa ating bansa. Tayo man ay naasar sa sistema ng mahaba at mainit na pila, sa mga poll watchers na nagpasikip ng mga classrooms na nagsilbing polling precincts, sa pagkasira ng ilang PCOS machines, sa mga BEIs na uminit ang ulo at tinawag ng iba na "ignorante" at kung anu-ano pang reklamo, ang mahalaga naiboto natin ang ating nais na mamuno sa ating bansa.
Hindi tayo naging bobo o tanga, kahit nga karamihan sa mga Senior Citizens nga marunong mag-shade eh. Kung alin man sa siyam na nagtunggali sa pagka-pangulo ang inyong pinili, ito ay malugod nating nirerespeto.
Napakahusay ng automated elections dahil ilang oras lamang alam na natin kung sino ang nanalo. Maraming salamat kay Sen. Richard Gordon na siyang nanguna sa pagsulong ng batas sa election automation.
Sa mga nag-concede na mga kandidato, taas-noo at saludo po ako sa katapangan, katatagan at pagiging propesyunal na inyong ipinakita. Isa lamang ito sa mga hakbang upang mapagkaisa natin ang ating watak na bansa. Ito rin ang patunay na naging makatotohanan ang resulta ng nakaraang halalan na napuno ng maraming haka-haka ng dayaan dahil sa ilang makasariling mga "lider" na nais magtagal sa kapangyarihan. Sa wakas, mayroon nang naglakas-loob na sabihing "Ako ay natalo, tayo ay magtulungan" kumpara sa dating "Ako ay dinaya, magbotohan muli tayo."
Hindi natatapos ang ating responsibilidad bilang mga mamamayan sa simpleng pagbot. Hindi man makakaimpluwensiya ng malaki ang ating maliliit na mga hakbang sa pagtulong sa ating pamahalaan para sa ikauunlad ng bayan, pero kung ito ay pagsasama-samahin natin, ito ay malaki.
Nawa, hindi tayo maging puro reklamo lamang kundi gumawa tayo para matulungan ang ating sarili at ibalik ang tiwala sa ating pamahalaan.
Tanging hangarin ng ating mga pulitiko ay makatulong sa ikauunlad ng Pilipinas, kalimutan sana ang tunggalian sa pulitika sa loob ng 3 at 6 na taon. Ipakita sana natin sa ating mga mamamayan na sinsero tayo sa ating mga pangako. Hindi naman po ako humihiling na manahimik kayo kung mayroon nang maling nangyayari, kasama niyo po kaming magbabantay. Sana lamang po ay magtulungan tayo, lalo't higit kung maganda naman ang hangarin ng bagong pamunuan.
Naalala ko nanaman ang paborito kong campaign jingle ni Bro. Eddie:
"Sino pang may malasakit at pag-ibig sa bansa? Sino pa? Sino pa? Eh di AKO. Kailan mag-uumpisang magkaisa, kumilos na? Kailan pa? Kailan pa? EH DI NGAYON. Sino pa nga bang gagawa? Sinong pagsisimulan? Sinong magtataguyod ng bayan ni Juan? EH DI TAYO!"
Napakagandang mensahe. Lahat tayo ay responsable sa pag-unlad ng ating bayan!
Bayang Pilipinas, simula na ng ating bagong pangarap at pag-asa!

I ALREADY VOTED! HAVE YOU?
I arrived at Cabanatuan East Central School at around 8:00AM. I looked for my polling precinct and looked for my name. I lined up at around 8:30AM got in the clustered precinct at 9:00. The BEI's let my sign the voter's book and handed me the Official Ballot. It only took me around 8 minutes to shade because I brought with me a list of the candidates I will vote.
I took the Ballot in the PCOS Machine, around 2 minutes it said "Congratulations! Your vote has been cast." I went back to the BEI to put my thumbmark on the voter's book and had my indelible ink on my index finger.
What can I say? Well, it will really take time because of the long lines but the voting inside the precinct is really fast. I hope that there will be no "Hokus PCOS" on this year's elections.
I hope that the state respects our sacred right to suffrage.
My Message
To our dear politicians and supporters, please respect the people's decision, especially if we know that there has been no irregularities. Please stop harassing the teachers who has accepted the responsibility to facilitate our elections. Please don't burn our classrooms because I believe it is your platform to improve the quality of education in your respective communities. Let's be vigilant as to what will happen to our votes.
To those whose votes has been bought, it is your future and your children's future at stake on this elections.
To all the Filipinos, please keep up the discipline of lining-up and waiting for your turn. Patience is a virtue.
I hope that we will really have the will of the people in the results of the 2010 National Elections.
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

IBOBOTO KO BA SI WISELY?
People always say, "Vote Wisely!"
Then, who is wisely?
To my dear fellow Filipinos, I hope that you'll be the "wisely." We should be wise to elect those whom we believe can help each of us succeed. Remember, we are the voters. In a democracy, people elect their mistakes. If we will vote for a failure, we will reap failure for the next 6 years of our lives. May 10, 2010 marks the turning point of our lives. I do hope that we arrive at a very good decision to vote for the ones who will bring us to hope better for our future.
When we vote, we should imagine our lives to where we are going in the next fifteen or twenty years. We should also think about the Philippines that we are going to leave to our children, to the next generations of Filipinos.
Ako, I already have selected the leaders whom I believe will lead us to success in the coming years. And I know, that you also have yours.
Before May 10, 2010, we heard a lot of promises, fiery words from the candidates, mudslinging, issues and solutions. Hopefully, these shed light to our mind how to build back our lost nation.
I talked to a friend last May 2. He said that we Filipinos always result to toppling the leaders we don't want through a non-constitutional way---the streets. We always end up in EDSA. But we all have forgotten the essence of this historic place. Sana 'pag bumoto tayo sa May 10, siguraduhin natin na hindi na tayo babalik sa EDSA upang magptalsik ng Pangulo bagkus ipagdiwang ang ating kalayaan. If you were to ask me, I always believed and respected the views of my trusted friend. He is one of the best and truest persons. But I already made up my mind. I already am wearing yellow and blue.
A lot of mudslinging has also been done by the supporters of all sides. I know that you believed in your candidates so much that we don't mind that other people who support other candidates also have the same mind-set.
Basta ako hindi lang track record ang tinitingnan ko. Mahusay nga ang lider kung marami siyang ginagwa para sa bayan. Pero kung natatapakan niya ang kapakanan ng nakararami at wala siyang pakialam sa saloobin ng kanyang mga pinamumunuan, wala rin ang husay na ito. We need not just will and determination but character and values.
I don't blame you if you would say that Noy just ran because of his parents' heroism. I don't blame you if he is really not prepared to run. I don't blame you if you say he has been involved in the "Hacienda Luisita Massacre." I don't blame you if you say he has "TOPAK." I hope that those who said these can still sleep well.
If Noy has parents' who are heroes, will he allow himself to tarnish this name? Noy was indeed not prepared to run for President but the people called him to fight for them. Noy is not the only one who owns Hacienda Luisita. It was already not proven if its the police or other elements who killed the farmers protesting in the hacienda. If he has TOPAK, then why would a Mar Roxas, 12 senatorial candidates and local officials (some who came from other parties) support him? He could have broken down in the heat of the campaign. A Noynoy Aquino was not prepared to run as President but the Filipinos welcome him to be their President. I thought Sen. Aquino was not good but I was proven wrong. He answered well in the Presidential Forums.
At least Noy and Mar has been consistent with what they say. They have a slate which support each other and not oppose beliefs. Unlike another party which has a candidate whose father was a violator human rights together with those who said they opposed human rights violators. How would you believe their advocacy?
As my VP, Sen. Mar has always said, "Bayan muna bago ang sarili." Very inspiring. Mr. Palengke was the one prepared to run for President. But he listened to the call of the Filipino nation. As he always say, "Ang taumbayan ang Boss ko." Sen. Mar made very striking changes in governance. He was very strict on the prices of basic commodities when he was DTI Secretary. He made medicines cheaper. He paved the way to the creation of more jobs through the BPOs. And most of all, he has genuine love for the common Filipino.
Noy-Mar is a very good tandem for the next six years.
Naniniwala ako sa sinasabi ni Noy na "Ang dilaw ay kulay ng araw na pasikat at tirik. Ang orange ay kulay ng dapit-hapon o araw na papalubog." Kanino tayo sasama? Sa papasikat na araw na nagbibigay pag-asa o sa papalubog, na hindi natin alam kung saan ang direksiyon?
Basta ako, Kasama ako sa pagbabago. Sasabay ako sa laban na Tapat at sa Laban ng Lahat.

GLOBAL WARMING is GLOBAL WARNING
I have been to Manila last May 1, 2010 to visit my relatives and the friend of my ate in Laguna. I enjoyed the company of my family and friends. We went to Megamall to try Dad's all you can eat and spent time talking to my brother and sister in the Middle East. Well, the warmth of our love and care for each other is warmer.
I took a bath when we were about to go home to Cabanatuan. The time was around 2:30PM to 3:00PM. I opened the shower knob. Voila! Gushing hot water came out of its nozzle. Its hot that you don't need to buy a heater to make the water warm. The sad fact there, is that, the installed water heater is not working. That's how hot our world is. That is in Metro Manila.
I do hope that the actions that we say we would do should always be done. I believe that through our little ways, like not littering even the smallest candy wrapper can be done. We really need to take action, if not, we'll all be drinking lukewarm water or worse, we will be like a cow's meat in a hot oven. =(
