Good Deed #2

I never get tired of writing about how the elections in my hometown of Cavite City took place. I am so proud of my fellow Caviteños because they are very smart voters indeed! Let me put it this way, it turned out that they were underestimated and they really, really rose above that. Even I cannot fathom the idea that we as a people can do that.

I volunteered kasi for the Parish Pastoral Council For Responsible Voting (PPCRV) because at first my mom wanted me to and I thought I should because she was closey with the priests and all that. So I did and it turned out to be one of the best things I have done in my life. It gave me an appreciation for the people who make this country great :-) Mind you not the politicians ha but the people who can barely read or write but takes time to actually vote. I felt that for them it was not an obligation but it was something they would do for their own good. Gone are those people who vote because they were paid to do so. I think it was attempted but worked against them haha buti nga!

Anyway the pictures I posted here are those of the PPCRV protesting at the Cavite City Hall for very unfair election practices. Imagine Comelec changed their previous ruling about a certain candidate at about 2 PM which was an hour shy of the closing of the polls! Grabe na ito sabi ko, sobrang madaya. The church explained that our protest is not to benefit a certain candidate but to defend the rules which Comelec has set (and then they themselves are changing! Labo no?). Take note, they reversed the ruling again after the PPCRV protested so "Ano ba talaga, kuya?" but then I learned na "Ate" pala dapat because the "head" is a woman (o dapat girl kasi di maka decide!) Anyway so mega protest na nga kami then here comes the police at madami sila ha. Naisip ko nga na ano naman ang laban ng tatlong pari at madaming matanda sa kanila hello! Karamihan kasi sa volunteers eh oldies as in 60+ :-) So show of force to death kami with adrenaline rushing and then nobody from the City Hall came out, so the priests had to go inside. They really want us in their territory so I was thinking baka takot? Sino? Kanino? At bakit? Baka guilty? Sino? Anong ginawa? So na disperse na din kami and I went home told my mom about it and prayed to God for justice to the REAL oppressed person (whoever it may be). I believe God heard our prayers, lumabas ang totoo so ayun may nanalo din finally. End of story? I'm not sure kasi nawawala yung villain... I have yet to find out sa mga chismoso/chismosa sa amin kung nasaan. Next time for sure alam ko na what happened.
