If only we were a nation whose culture is based on meritocracy

Ok, so I have been blogging a lot about myself which is not necessarily a bad thing considering the fact that this IS MY BLOG. But anyway, I figured I should spend some time talking about Philippine politics for a second.

My interest towards the coming elections is substantially lower than anybody else's because they ran out of forms when I was trying to register thereby forfeiting my right to suffrage this year. So I found it quite unnecessary to devote much of my time if I am not going to vote anyway.

However, as the election draws nearer, I find it an obligation to at least think of who I want to lead our country. The executive powers, priviliges and responsibilities are quite magnanimous (for lack of a better term that expresses huge) so I think it is a subject worth thinking about. It pains me that Gordon and Gibo are not in the frontline of winning the elections. You look at these two individuals and see what they have done and what they are capable of doing; you feel bad that they are not being talked about as much as you would hope. To me, Gibo would make the best president and Gordon would be a nice alternative. But as my mom says, they are the right men in the wrong parties.

Do not get me started on the Noynoy-Villar race. I do not like either but if they are the only candidates I would go for Noynoy.

If I was registered I would go for Gibo-Hands Down!

Sadly, our country does not base on merit as much as it does on popularity so I am really guessing that the election will boil down to the much talked about Villar and Noynoy competition...


:/



I rest my case.
