Elections are drawing near. And the TV is filled with commercials of senatorial candidates hanging out with the poor people, helping sick people in hospitals, building structures like schools and markets- it's all just plain manipulative!!!

And what most of the commercials have in common is that there is at least one celebrity singing or talking about how generous they are, how good they are (please gag me), and how great they are. Ugh.

Philippine politicians speak with such fair and strong words, yet they easily find a million excuses not to do something they have to be responsible about.

Yes, the whole country knows what nice people those candidates are. And some of the candidates are friggin' actors! Why are actors suddenly all about politics??? Just because they're famous they can easily get our votes?? Is this some kind of gimmick? The one who dies with the most votes win?
Well yeah, the country has been voting for celebrities (unfortunately), but have we budged from being the 3rd most corrupted country in the world??

And if that isn't enough, corrupted officials are doing everything they can to bring their president down.
If Ramon Magsaysay could see us now...

Philippine politicians suck.
