The 2016 Presidential Election is drawing near. People from all over the country are registering for the election. For the first timers, it is an exciting yet fearful event. We all know that election is not always a clean game. There are fights, the clash between the candidates and their supporters. It has always been like this since who knows when. All of them wanted to get hold of the position.
One would wonder, why is election important? Why is there a need to vote? Whom shall I vote? What will be the consequences if I vote for this man? What will be the changes in the government if I vote for him? Will poverty end in his reign? Will China still bully the Philippines if he becomes the president? How will my vote change the future of my country? How can I be sure that he is the right person for the position? Is he a credible man? Will I regret it afterwards that I voted for this corrupt person? Can I just stay home and not vote because I am afraid I might make the wrong decision? Can I ignore the election because honestly, I just do not care?
As a first time voter, these are the questions that have been running around in my head since the day I registered for the election. I am confused, I do not know the business here. I am afraid that because of putting the wrong person in the position, the Philippines and the people will suffer. I still do not know the answers to these questions, but I am praying that God will give me wisdom to choose the one who deserves to be in the position, the right person to lead, the one who will serve the people. Whoever he is, I hope he is knowledgeable enough, and his eyes are wide open enough to see the situation and condition of his dearest country.
Vote wisely!
