To The Philippne Vote Selling Public

To those who sold their votes for P20, P50, P100, P500, P1000, P2000 let this article be a reminder that this will be the last amount of money that you will see from your chosen candidate until the next election. Let this article be a reminder to you that for that amount of money, your chosen candidate will be taking 10 times as much money from you.

The Philippine 500 Peso Bill

To the vote selling public, you are what is wrong with The Philippines, because of your weakness of conviction, you have let another election pass you by.

When I hear Filipino citizens criticize candidates because of the lack of money they gave, I wonder just how much they understand or comprehend what they are saying. Do they not know that the money that is being given to them for their vote is probably coming from the Filipino public as well?

When I hear Filipino citizens judge a candidate by how much money they gave, it is yet another slap in the face for those Filipinos who consider their vote a prized possession.

So, to the vote selling public, you are as guilty as those officers and candidates who buy your vote. You are participating in the economics of cheating, the economics of bribery, and the economic of fools. Thus, do not complain if the candidate you voted for, the same candidate who bought your vote, who bought your integrity, is the same candidate who does not make good in his promise of making your life better. Are you telling me that you trust a candidate to do all that he promised, when he doesn’t even have the integrity to run a campaign that is clean and honest?

To the vote selling public, enjoy your misery!

To those who voted and did not sell their votes, I applaud your integrity, and let your integrity and love of your country be the start of a brighter Philippines. Do not be dismayed by reports of those who sold their soul, because in the end, you are what make The Philippines a great nation, you are the true Filipino.
