Filipinos of voting age, I need 5 minutes of your time.
I know my Tumblr is most of the time just fluff and pink and prettiness, but please indulge a serious (and angry) side of me for a little bit.
There are two reasons why I am getting riled up about THIS:
- Grace Padaca is the woman I look up to the most. And I say this without exaggeration. She’s fearless, yet maintains a soft sincerity that is rare for people of her position.
- As a first time voter, it angers me that the COMELEC is making complete IDIOTS out of the people!!! Anong akala nila sa atin, tanga? Do they think we won’t see past this sudden slew of actions against officials who are against the administration? Call me crazy, but I think it will be even crazier if I don’t do anything about this. Whoever you’re supporting this coming elections, THIS is just a complete outrage! It’s a belittlement of what we voters are capable of—I believe that the COMELEC is just banking on our apathy. LET US PLEASE NOT GIVE THAT SATISFACTION TO THEM.
To know more about what’s happening, read the article HERE.
Now there are two things I want to ask of you:
- Read and sign the ONLINE PETITION if you believe that voters deserve a better, cleaner, more honest elections this coming 2010. REMEMBER, this is the very same Comelec that will supervise the elections in 2010. We must do something about this.
- Spread the link of the online petition on your Facebook/Twitter. Right now, my status message reads: “I believe that Governor Grace Padaca is the true and legitimate governor of Isabela. Iniisa-isa na ng administrasyon ang mga mabubuting lider. Let’s support Gov. Grace and the other good leaders in government!” Make it yours, too.
Thank you guys! If you care enough about our country, reblog—or at least, let me know what you think, please?
Putangina talaga ng COMELEC.
