If the Overseas Absentee Voters' registration period is not extended, there is barely 45 days left for those who have not yet registered to visit the Philippine Embassy or Consulate to register and be able to vote in the 2010 elections.
I know most of us have our reasons not to trust our electoral process, but we cannot just give up. We cannot afford to give up as this will definitely leave our country, again, to the hands of corrupt politicians without us putting up a fight.
Exercise of our right to vote is probably our best investment for the future. It is the best way for us to influence how things will done to achieve the change we want to see.
We are often told that we deserve the kind of government we currently have. If we do not get involved, by registering and eventually participating in the 2010 elections, we will miss the chance to elect the leaders we believe can bring forth the change we dream - a Philippines that we can be proud of once again!
There are about two million overseas Filipino in the Kingdom. Even if only 25% of that number will be able to register and vote in the 2010 election, that still translates to at least two million votes assuming that there are at least three other members in the family of each OA voter. We really have the number to influence the change we want to see; if only the sleeping giant in us will finally waken up.
Ang pagbabagong ating minimithi ay sa atin magsisimula. Kaya kabayan, magparehistro na habang may panahon pa ng sa gayon ay makaboto ka sa 2010, at sama sama nating isulong ang pagbabago sa patakaran ng pamahalaan.
Mabuhay!
