Since the start of the campaign period, I never made an election related post. I keep my bets to myself. It is not that I am ashamed of my choices but it's just that I believe that we just need to respect each others' decision. Afterall, we are in a democratic country. I have seen friends quarrel over social media and I feel bad for them. I know, just like me, they are just passionate for our country. Who wouldn't be? Whenever I travel abroad, I feel bad for our own country. Thoughts like "Buti pa sa ibang bansa..." "Ang ganda dito, bakit sa Pinas.." etc. haunted me. I am somewhat ashamed that I am a Filipino. There came a point that I asked Marion that we migrate to Canada or Australia..wherever. I told him I don't want our children to grow up in this country.
But at the end of the day, I still love being here. I still love being a Filipino.
Yesterday, we elected our leaders. In few moments time, we will now have a new set of new leaders. I am hopeful. As the saying goes, "Habang may buhay may pagasa, right?" I've been wanting change for a long time -- Being a commuter, I have experienced first hand on how bad worst our public transport is. Owning a car and driving along C3, I have seen a lot of fellow Filipinos living in slum areas. It breaks my heart.
I do hope that we can all be the change that we wanted to see in this world.
I'll be praying for our country. I'll be praying for our next leaders. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.
