POLITICS!

Beyond the facade and infrastructures of iloilo city are its people that makes this city a place to stay. Hahaha! That is so pathetic. Because behind the people are the mischievous events that happens to the city...especially that its election time again.

Well you see, the baranggay where i live in, the infamous Bo. Obrero, is in a world of deception. There are two political parties that are against each other in my baranggay. one of the parties, headed by the recent baranggay has a platform to make our baranggay to move forward just like iloilo making it the next BEST thing in the philippines. on the other side of the bracket, are the people in the opposition having the platform to make change the old system because they saw that what the old system does to its people is not right. to be specific, leaving the people in despair while the KAPITAN goes cruising to some other parts of the world.

the motiff of the two parties are incoherent as well. the other is green and the other is yellow. they believe that green can push through change and they believe that its tcolor signifize hope to the people of the baranggay. the other party run by the captain speaks that yellow shows triumph to the future of bo. obrero. being the color of strength(one of his constituents said), it would cater to all the people in the baranggay.

everyday when i wake up, different voices coming from the external factors that goes beyond my house are shattering my humble sleep. you see, my grandfather is running as a councilor under the recent baranggay captain. most of the time he influences me to vote for the his captain. on the other side, most of my friends in the baranggay are voting the opposition's captain. with disbelief and a memory confused, i'm in crisis right now.

monday is the election and i am still in distress. with what i learned from my university, i believe that everything should be given though several times before having your decision. but only one thing is sure, i won't be having a good night sleep tonight. God help me!
