While waiting for the election date, what are we going to do, listen all the time to the exchanges among candidates? Definitely. Revelations are made every week and they are getting horrific and horrific. I wonder what other secrets certain candidates have?In our barangay, a rally was held by a big party and look what our main street now has -- kilometers of flying posters here and there. I wonder why the Comelec allows candidates to just have their pictures in them. Actually pictures should only be one fourth of the size of the tarp, or even less and the rest should be their platform. Now you see Folks, in the local elections, anything and everything goes.
This is sad because we do not get to know our local officials. Unlike in the national posts, the candidates get covered by big media, radio and tv, and they get interviewed as well. Although, I doubt the sincerity of some officials because their past history of being an official is highly debatable, still it is good that the media cover them. For example, there is one candidate who is proud of his stint in a training institute. Fine, expose yourself as its leader but don't fail to mention the trainors who trained those you had given the opportunity to land jobs in the market. I know that the TESDA is a training institute and its trainors are high caliber, some of them have even had a stint abroad. I used to work there as an Audio-Visual Specialist during martial law when it was still called National Manpower and Youth Council. Rony Diaz, the DG then gave me the job which allowed me to broaden as well my view of the need to make media educational more deeply.
Anyway, I hope that Grace Poe would use the voice of her father in her radio ads, especially those where he gives inspiring words about loving one's country.
