I asked people which I can consider less fortunate in Metro Manila about their president in the incoming presidential race; Who will be your president? One answered me, Ninoy ako. Bakit naman?, I asked. Kasi naniniwala akong si Ninoy ay aahon sa atin sa kahirapan. Just silent, Ikaw ate, sino presidente mo?, Siguro Villar ako. Sagot nya. Bakit naman, I asked again. Kasi sya yung nakikita ko sa TV na galing sa mahirap.
These are examples of answered I'm losing hope of the considered poor in the Philippines or those people in particular. It is not about their choice of the president but or their reasons for the decision. For those answered on Ninoy for example said because of fate and dependence. As she said, "Naniniwala akong si Ninoy and aahon sa atin sa kahirapan", what a poor reason. Paano naman sila iahon ni Ninoy sa kahirapan kung wala naman silang ginawa. Walang magawa ang gobyerno pag aasa ka lang. Ang isa naman na sumagot on Villar, it seems that Villar is too popular because of advertisement. Talaga bang mahirap ka if your parents is working as a government employee? Hindi ka naman ata super hirap noon. Considered middle class ka na.
If the considered poor people will view election as like this, I'm afraid their life will be the same whoever win the election. Maybe the government can help but the culture and minds of people has a lot to do about the improvement of the life of people. "Ako ang simula" is a good campaign of starting it within you.
