Fab talk: On the one who deserves my vote

It’s now days away from the much-coveted elections day and I think with all the propaganda sprawling around, I think it’s getting worse. It’s crazy how supporters are so desperate/passionate about posting for their chosen candidate for obvious reasons. I have my own reasons too on why I chose my candidates, Mar Roxas and Leni Robredo as the next leaders on our nation.

It is discussed here on my last post on why I chose them. but aside from the elimination process on choosing my vote, here are some additions: 

They stand for integrity – with the latest bank account controversy now on the works, it’s important that a candidate must be consistent and honest enough with the SALN declarations and statements. Mar and Leni already sighed the waiver of having their bank accounts and transactions be seen on broad daylight. They have also been open on their achievements, with Mar doing their jobs on the national level and Leni serving the people in Naga. Their honesty, integrity and heart in serving the people is outstanding.

They stand for decency - I had a chance to have this one-on-one debate on one of my online friends, and he’s obviously retaliating my choice. FYI, my job requires me to be more analytical and factual on everything-including my choice for this elections. I admit that it’s actually drained me to the core, and it makes me realize how DISGUSTING these people are.

Tricia Robredo and Paolo Zaldarriaga Roxas (ewan ko, bagay sila :) pls don't take this comment seriously lels! pero fab pa rin. :)

Another case is when I tend to joke on one of my blogger friends-only to cuss at me on the certain libre joke. It makes me realize that - 1) he’s no decent person at all, -2)  I can’t tolerate this kind of behavior and -3) I need friends who I can joke and inspire me to do better. Yes people of FabPinas, This is my wake up call to decency – that is something that I’ve seen on Mar and Leni. I applaud them for their children are such an inspiration to many because of their decency and moral stance. ps: Paolo Roxas is the boy-next-door type, pwede no? FAB!)

pss: That also means one thing – friendship over for me and this blogger blagger.

They stand for acceptance – LGBTs are the ones who are mostly discriminated, next to the people with disabilities. Both Mar Leni are ok with the civil union with same sex couples and this means a lot for sure for the LGBT couples. And with this, I’m sure that the anti-discrimination act that is filed years ago will be tuned into law. 

They stand for the people abroad – It is known that Mar Roxas is an OFW too – he previously worked in a banking agency in New York before he went back here in the country to run in the government office after his brother died. He knows how it feels like working in a different country just to earn a living. During his sortie along with Ms. Leni in Hong Kong, it was seen that Mar is listening to the ofws’ woes (read Marites Palma's post here) just before their campaign started. Contrary to the reports, it’s been a success. 

He also has an agenda for all overseas workers, as stated here. 

The hijab looks great on Leni

They stand for unity – this means unity for everyone - men, women, children, LGBTs, Christians and Muslims. We are living in a diverse country and we need people that can unite people from different nations and ethnicities. 

They stand for service – Leni has been serving the people even before she run for the government post. Mar on the other hand, has been serving under 3 presidents for 20 years, creating laws that will benefit the people nationwide, serving the people. I think this needs to be done on all parts of the land with the help of the people from the local government. 

I had a lot in mind on why I chose them over the rest of the candidates, but these can do for now. I’m really hoping that people will see what I am seeing in them. 

Elections are only 9 days away. Do your earnest research, and vote wisely.
