Can we spell change now?

Judgement day has come. It is another milestone for us to get to a higher level of existence for the next six years. It either will make or break our nation.We have proven to the world that a bloodless revolution is achievable. The 1986 EDSA. Lucky those people who took part on the memorable chapter of our nation, wherein crucifix and rosaries flooded the streets of yellow, the prevalent color of the decade.

Election time. Tarpaulins hanging everywhere. Stickers posted on electric posts, trees, vehicles and walls. Campaign jingles aired both on print and television prime times. That's a lot of money. Politicians butterflying from one party to the other. Even throwing trash and tons of mud on each other's face has became ordinary. It stinks like long-dead rats in our backyard. No wonder you are in the Philippines.

Aren't you tired? My heart bleeds every time I see these things happening. We don't expect garbage I suppose. We deserve more than simple entertainment and campaign jingles. We need competent and credible leaders. Leaders who can nurse our ailing country. Bring it back to the lane of development and prosperity.

He not need to be genius like Einstein. A living saint like Mother Teresa. Neither as popular as Tiger Woods or LeBron James. Nor as wealthy as Bill Gates.

Our country needs an overhaul. It could be the first step to such eternal dream. Voting the right people. I call it a bloodless revolution, this time through our votes. Can we spell change now? I hope so.
