Many exciting things are happening in my life now, and when the much-anticipated national office election was recently held, it turned out the way I prayed for; it became perfect. It’s not about me in politics (wishful thinking, hehe), but it’s all about the victory of our very own Davao City Mayor, Rodrigo Duterte, whom I have rooted for.
The people of the Philippines have wisely chosen a leader with strong principles, decisiveness, pragmatism, and patriotism, and someone who is also humble enough to admit that he cannot make the needed changes without the people’s cooperation. For me, he is the only candidate with a fair chance to lead the Philippines out of our institutionalized swamp of corruption and hypocrisy. I hope and feel that the Filipinos’ quality of life will be improved, and Duterte will not overpromise, but well, with Davao City as an example, we can see a good pattern of governance.
I just can’t help laughing a little when I hear someone say that the Mayor is not elite; he is a thug and of low-life caliber. These people don’t like the way he acts and talks, and the so-called elites criticize him a lot. They don’t know it’s his way of being true to himself. The years of experience Duterte has gained serving the people of his city will now be used to lead our country. He may be straightforward, but knows how to handle a crisis and unite. He deeply understands what we need as a people to create a society based on the principles of solidarity.
I will not prolong my post because all I wish is to be able to congratulate the Mayor of the Philippines through my blog before his official proclamation. Cheers to the Philippines and good luck to you, Mayor, for a new beginning 🙂
