Selecting a candidate for President, who will lead a country for the next six (6) years, is not easy. I want to state that it is not my personal interest that has driven me to choose the candidate I want to vote. Because it may not be during my lifetime I will witness the Philippines free from CORRUPTION, poverty, injustice and many abuses committed by those who sit with power. The people of my country had already elected many brilliant and intelligent men and women to lead this nation but until now, the Philippines' paths to social and economic progress never materialized. Many of its failures were made by those leaders who capitalized Filipino's tolerance to failed society. I personally choose Noynoy to be our next President for few simple reasons, namely:
1. Fear of the LORD - Anyone who fears GOD is bound to do good. Anyone who wants to do good must fear GOD. Noynoy was brought up by his parents the way every God-fearing individuals should do. The living words become his guide...the guide he wants to follow as he makes every steps of the way. A prayerful person as he is, Noynoy lifts up everything to his CREATOR. And anyone who offers everything to HIM prior to making decision is bound to come up with well-guided decisions.
2. Love for the People - Noynoy has genuine love for every Filipino, the same people his deceased parents dearly served and loved. He has a heart for his countrymen. A leader, who knows how to care and share his life and love with his people, will drive him to better governance. For he knows that power comes from the powerless and good leadership means well for those he was called to lead. Noynoy can afford to have a simple life....free from cristicsms and intrigues but he was pushed by millions of Filipino who want CHANGE. Filipinos who want HONESTY. Filipinos who want SINCERETY. Filipinos who want a SIMPLE leader who never promises heaven and earth but ONLY offering HOPE. This what makes Noynoy a magnet to Filipino people.
3. NOYNOY is simply another JUAN DELA CRUZ - Noynoy is not hungry for power. He knows what satisfies him. But he knows it too what will satisfy every hungry Filipino...more than the food on the table...it is DECENCY in public office. Like all of us, Noynoy has his share of weaknesses too. He may not know everything but he knows how to strengthen it. For the measure of the strength of a leader does not reside on his power...it resides on his honesty that a President can not do ALL. That he needs the support of his people to make things done. This is the REAL strength of Noynoy.
Very simple reasons why I will vote for him. Not anymore about the flatform which can always be done in a sheet of paper. Not anymore about who has better experience and leadership. It is all about what makes an ordinary Juan Dela Cruz stands EQUAL with those who have better access to power and treasure. Dignified living and respect for ones dignity. May GOD bless our country.
