The Ugly Truth.

Would you believe me if I said that the people who complain about the government are no worse than the politicians that they complain about themselves?

I know you would disagree with me because you're probably one of them. You see. If you live in the Philippines, you would know that last May 10, we've had our elections. This has struck me with fear because the last time we had our elections, we made Ferdinand Marcos incarnate' President. And now that we are having the elections again. I'm afraid that we made a wrong choice AGAIN.

The leading candidate for president now is Noynoy Aquino. At around 13 million votes, he's practically won the elections. What scares me here is that after reading and researching about him. I've found out that he has practically done zilch. Literally. I mean, he has written 9 bills and how many of those have been passed? None.

Now what I'm afraid of here is that we didn't choose the most qualified participants. We chose the most popular ones. I'm not hating on Noynoy or anything but I'd say that he Isn't the most qualified. If it were me, I'd say that either Gibo or Dick Gordon should've won. Contrary to the belief of the 13 million people who voted for Noynoy, I'd say that they only voted for him because of his parents.

Let's try to imagine 3 years into the future. Noynoy is president and everything. Let me be the first to tell you that the exact same people who voted for him will be the ones complaining about him as well, saying "He hasn't done much for the country" or "He's not a very good leader". He isn't! That's why I'm terrified by the fact that he's going to reside in the Malacanang Palace.

So who's to really blame? Us? The people with the right to vote? Or the Government Officials that we've voted for?

I'm just a kid. I can't vote yet. But when I do, I'll make sure that I'll vote for the right person. The person that is Qualified and Fit to lead our country.
