Indeed, the democratic process in the Philippines is still very much alive, however, it doesn't mean not recognizing the flaws of the election and the commission managing it. The electoral exercise in the country is far from perfect, but the important thing is we can still cry foul and unfair if one sees there is injustice or uneven treatment.
To this day, I am still a VP Leni fan. In fact, I still watch her do the unpacking and unwrapping of the gifts she received during the campaign, and her thanks giving rally. But my admiration for VP Leni must not block my hope for a better nation. I may be old but I also have the right to a productive nation. Of course, I am also equally terrified as any *Kakampinks" that the BBM-Sarah government may bring us to hell like what the outgoing Pres. Duterte told his supporters.
But while this is my sentiments, we could not live in fear and chaos. As a nation, we all must help and contribute in pushing and pulling our economy forward, or else all of us will also suffer. This must be the reason why I have been dreaming of mice, and rats more frequently, as I fear them. Nonetheless, it will do no good for anyone if you will allow fear to take over your life, judgement and decision. For now, we have the option to swim and to float and allow the calm waters to relax. And as part of moving there should be trust, respect and love. So at least for now, for the time being shun what is not yet happening and live for the moment.
