Consider national and local issues in polls
I urge the voters to consider national and local issues in casting their ballots on May 14.
When you cast your ballots on May 14, vote for the national candidates on the basis of the issues concerning national affairs, and when voting for local candidates, take into consideration the local issues.
Voters should consider the background and performance of candidates in judging their qualifications for public office. At the same time I welcome the Social Weather Stations survey showing that most Filipinos would vote according to their conscience. But I call for “citizens’ power” to ensure that the votes are correctly counted and reported.
Ultimately the fate of our country will be decided by Filipino voters, provided of course that the elections are reflective of their will.
With the latest number of election-related violent incidents pegged at 82 since January 14, I also appeal to all mid-term election candidates and their supporters to employ sobriety in all their dealings in relation to upcoming May polls.
Mainit nang dati ang panahon, sana wag nang painitin pa ang labanan. Anuman ang ating gagawin, hindi natin dapat dinadamay ang katawan at sakitan ng kapwa. Ang eleksyon pwede po nating bawiin sa mga darating pang halalan, tatlong taon makalipas ang araw na ito. Pero ang buhay kapag binawi at kinitil natin, kailan man ay hindi na po natin maibabalik.
I also hail the volunteers of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), the National Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) and other non-government organizations “to get out and guard against fraud and violence.”
The country is in good hands when thousands of volunteers, made up of housewives, employees from the government and private sector, members of religious organizations and civic associations, farmers and workers get involved.
One of the issues facing the country is that of the “survival of democracy as a strong foundation for national unity and progress.”
No country in the modern world achieves progress and high living standards unless it embraces democracy as a form of government.
A strong political opposition that adheres to constitutional processes and principles and performs its duty of checking the abuses, ineptitude, neglect and corruption in government is necessary for the maintenance of democracy.
It is important that every voter should vote according to his or her conscience, guided only by considering the best interest of the country and the community.
