While most people are rallying for the candidates they want to vote in the polls in the next few hours, the “non-registered/non-voting pessimist” in me would like to advocate the reasons why if given the chance I will not vote for some of the senatorial candidates running in the 2013 election.
- Nancy Binay - Most people bash her for color and lack of physical appeal (I just did...), but Nancy’s only claim to qualify for the job is her unpaid “OJT” service to her parents as assistant for 20 years. I guess; that experience only qualifies her to be promoted to become a “full time paid assistant” now.
- Jack Enrile – Research show he has served four terms as Congressman for Cagayan and is a top absentee in Congress as reported by Rappler. I have never heard of him previously until his ads in the local channel started airing capitalizing on his Senator dad and famous last name.
- JV Ejercito – Another possible heir to the seat of his failed president father. I am reminded of the Lannisters and their effort to keep the Iron Throne. I recommend a reptile for the family’s sigil.
- Loren Legarda – I don’t eat BALIMBING.
- Grace Poe – Daenerys Stormborn is trying to avenge and claim the seat which they believe rightfully belonged to her father. With a little help from the dragons she hatched while seated for two years at the MTRCB, she is on her way to the Senate, po!
- Migs Zubiri – I hope he doesn’t cheat again like he did in the 2007 election.
- Eddie Villanueva – Mag pray nalang po kayo for our country.
I am about to sleep and voting will probably be over by the time I wake up. I am saying a little prayer for my dear country and my fellow citizens who are voting later today and deciding for our future. May the odds be ever in our favor.
