While I was enjoying the sunset of Boracay and stuffing myself with all the pinoy foods I could get in to, my colleagues had been busy registering for the 2010 elections. I hate hate myself for forgetting to register before I went off for vacation. It would have been my chance to finally vote and I just let it just slipped away (sigh…).
Voting didn’t interest me before. I haven’t experienced voting for national elections ever since I became of “legal” age. During the past elections, I felt at that no one among the past candidates deserve my vote. However, after watching the ANC forum last June on TFC my point of view changed. On the show, I got the chance to get to know the people vying for THE position. I like Richard Gordon’s ideas best.
“What is important is leadership by example,” he stressed, adding that constituents only follow what they observe a president does. “A president should be hands-on. You cannot move [a nation] just by yourself. It should be both inspiration and perspiration.”
I would want to vote for him if only I was given another chance. Sayang talaga!
And you know what? I chanced upon him on our way to Boracay! I even gave him a handshake! It was now or never I thought because who knows, HE might be the NEXT president.
Gordon just arrived in Aklan Airport
