iChoose CHOPSUEY: General Elections 2k9

*before anything else, i want to clarify myself that i am nonPartisan..

im neither tapat nor santugon, hindi gaya nung dating GE sinsabi ko na im both tapat at santugon.. ngaun hindi na both..

 

Ok, General Elections na naman sa buong DLSU..

kaliwat kanan na naman ang mga RTR.. *RTR==room-to-room

ang pulitika hindi lang talaga makikita sa ating gobyerno..

pati na rin mismo sa ating pamantasan.. *uy, lalim.. :P

kahit ata hangang sa trabaho me pulitika..

pati nga sa simbahan, pulitika pa rin..

hay nako..

 

anyway, I remember blogging about the SC General Elections last year. 

Kinalkal ko yung blog archive ko at nakita ko siya… 

Now im reposting it… 

This was my own set of guidelines in voting the right candidate for the right position. 

I added, deleted and edited some of it already, but the whole blog can be read here… http://laboh.multiply.com/journal/item/34/Make_a_Wise_Choice hindi na kasi appropriate yung ibang nilagay ko dun ngaun..

 

 

/*start*/

1. I AM A CANDIDATE VOTER AND NOT A PARTY VOTER

Sinsabi nila parati vote derecho or straight. The benefits of voting straight or derecho is that pagsamasama sila mas madali makagaw ng mga projects, whereas kung halo, tapos kunwari nagpropose ng project yung isa, then kokontrahin naman ng isang candidate kung bakit pa kailangan gawin yung project na yun na hindi naman kailangan. Pero I voted the candidate and not for the party kasi for the following reason below//

 

2. I WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE’S OWN PERSPECTIVE AND NOT OF THE PARTY’S OWN BELIEFS AND PLATFORMS

Paminsan kasi  kahit sabihin mo maganda yung platform ng isang party, pero bigla naman walang kwenta yung candidate nila, then why should you then vote for him/her? Kasi mga candidates paminsan nagcompromise sila sa beliefs ng isang party, kahit na labag yun sa sarili nilang perspective. And besides kung magbase kayu sa platform, hay naku, ill tell you kulang ang isang year para magawa nila lahat yun. There is a possibility then na panget nga yung platform pero tama naman yung thinking ng candidate na yun sa isang situation, why not vote for him and her?

 

3. I WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH

I’ve been a Batch Assembly officer for 2 years already(even though hindi lang talaga ako active for the past terms, especially this term), so I know some of the persons around the DLSU-Student Council which is really an advantage for me. I know how they work and who is the responsible and deserving enough to be voted. Hindi lang responsible enough sa trabaho niya, but also sa academics niya. Hindi naman ito one of the major qualities na gusto ko sa isang candidate, iba kasi talaga yung person na kaya pagsabayin ang activities at academics niya. Di ba? 

 

4. I WILLVOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE WHO CAN MAKE A CHANGE

I’ll vote a candidate who doesn’t only do projects that is only for short term purposes, but candidates who can make a difference hindi lang for a term but also until matapos yung term nila. Alam mo yun yung mga taong that leaves a great legacy behind that all persons can remember, and what they do is something can benefit the current students and also the next generation.

 

 

5. I WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE WHO DOESN’T STOP PURSUING THEIR GOALS EVEN THEY LOSE

I’ll vote for the person na hindi sumusuko kahit talo na siya. Kasi yung mga natalo dati ano ginagawa ngaun. Ayun talo nga sila, kaya relax relax sa tabi tabi.. hayyy.. Sabi nga dati ng Comelec, hindi mo kailangan magkaroon ng position to make a change, you as a simple student can do it.

 

 

6.I WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE NA HINDI NANINIRA NG IBANG KAMPO

Naiinis talaga ako sa mga candidates na naninira ng kambilang kampo. Hayaann niyo na nga lang yung kabila. Kaysa magtirihan kayu sa philosophies ng bawat partido, manahimik na lang kayu. Lahat naman ng mga tao have their own strengths and weaknesses, kaya wag na kayu magyabang na mas magaling  kayu sa kabila!

 

 

7. I WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE WHO DOES WANT TO SERVE THE STUDENTS

I want leaders who know what servant leadership is. It means that he /she wants really to serve the students and not just for resume purposes lang. I want a person who is always ready to help some when they need something and a person who is approachable.

 

 

Kaya SURIIN MABUTI ang bawat kandidato, at wag basta MAGPALOKO!

 

actually, meron na rin ako bets ngaun, and it is CHOPSUEY, meaning hindi staright or dereco vote.. i have already 4 chosen EB(Executive board) out of 6.. and mga 3 out of 5 college reps(including CAP).. pero it still might change as the days go by..

 

Anyway,another quotation from my old blog..

If you don’t vote, you have no right na magreklamo kung magkaroon ng problem and tayu rin maapektuhan nito eventually. Kung wala talaga kayu gusto iiboto magabstain na lang kayu, para ipakita niyo sa knila na walang sa mga candidates ang really deserving.

 

Kaya dapat make a wise choice at huwag magpaloko sa kung anong pinagsasabi ng 2 kampo. Kasi pamisan puro na lang salita ant pangako, kulang naman sa gawa!

 

Sana maging maayos at peaceful na lang ang buong election hangang maproclaim yung winners. Kung talo, tangapin na lang at huwag na magreklamo!

 

God bless sa lahat ng candidates! :)
