PEOPLE OR THINGS?

Good evening, Folks. There are only 8 female senatorial candidates versus 44 males. Is that good or not? And I am still not sure if I would be able to retain my slot because the Comelec has threatened to revise the list. Does that mean that it would reduce the number or add more names?

I think that  applications for positions for serving the country should be handled delicately. Holding public office is the ultimate in one's life whether it be in the barangay or the presidency. To give up oneself, and serve the public, to make the people and their concerns as a 24-7 job is the highest form of sacrifice. Ergo, applicants for positions need to feel the caring and serious hand of Comelec officials in dealing with their applications. 

Comelec officials could watch their language and their actions to see if they are injuring the psyche, the emotions, or insulting the intelligence of the applicants. That is almost an axiomatic behavior as far as personnel management theories are concerned. 

In other words, whether one is handling personnel for political positions or for corporate concerns, the dictum is that they are PEOPLE, with emotions, body, mind and spirit. Ergo the rule is that we should be humane, and because I am a Christian, then Christian too. Believing in the teachings of Christ could be a step toward reflecting on our actions, whether we are treating people as things or as themselves, people. 

Sometimes, one could be drowned in routine and thus see people as mere numbers which would be really very sad.
