Why BF?

Sunday, June 14, 2009

This is more of a politically inclined post, as we all know election is just around the corner and is coming pretty fast and many have shown interest in running for the highest position, as the presidential seat is up for grabs (hopefully before CON-ASS succeeds).

I've never been so interested with politics, probably because I give no damn with speeches that has zero action, because I do know everyone in the government is corrupt, because I've heard and experienced a lot to support my non-government connection goal.

Though I was forced to vote like 5 years ago, it didn't really sink in that it was a responsibility, it was more of a right. You're given the right to vote and the right to choose not to. However, as I probably have mentioned before to some of my friends, if ever BF (Bayani Fernando) would run for the president's seat then I'll probably give him a chance.

So, my friends would ask, why him? Is is because of the pink fences (I'm so in love with pink btw)? Some would say he's corrupt too, then I'd ask, who's not?

I mean, everyone in the government is corrupt, they just vary in the complexity of their corruption. I've heard numerous scandalous transactions regarding the government and their mini projects. Would turn out that they're spending millions just to put up a 4-storey building for a public school, where in reality, it just worth hundred thousands.

So, going back to the BF thing, him being a GMA follower doesn't change my ideas of him, that's his perception. Okay, he's trying to change the world, that's what I see in him. He probably saw a chance for Filipinos to change, things that I could not see anymore, probably trying to bring back the discipline we lost since we ousted Ex-President Marcos (I'm not Pro-Marcos, I'm just pointing out that somehow that Martial Law brought the disciplined Filipinos and went astray with Ex-President Aquino's regime).

It's not just about the pink fences, the foot bridge (which I think is a really good idea, especially in Edsa, I've seen a huge change since I started commuting from Valenzuela to Pasig in 2002), the MMDAs (though there are still good for nothing MMDAs) and clearing operation in bangketas' (supposedly for pedestrians but they turned out to be a selling venue for unregistered vendors before Bayani came).

He's trying to change the world by simply not going with the flow, no one has ever done things he did, nobody tried because they're afraid of what people would say, in return, people won't vote. know he's not gonna win, I don't think people in the squatters area would give a single vote for him because they don't understand that he's doing his job and they should do theirs so they don't have to squat. I know people in the province wouldn't know what he's trying to do in the Metro but they're still capable of voting, but then again, if ever I'll vote this coming election I wouldn't waste my time, money for transporation and my one single vote to someone I think is not worth my 6 years of waiting for some action (hate speeches).

So there, BF may not seem the superhero type, he's probably using us as labrats for all the rules and regulations he wants to implement, but I would love it that way than these good for nothing politicians leaving us dying and waiting after getting the presidential seat.

Go BF! You're my BF!
