Have you ever experienced being in your pajamas at 12 noon because you just woke up? And the sun has not shown its face yet, it is so dark.
I’ve been distracted by the news of VP Leni last night on Facebook. I was supposed to finish reading but I kept going back to FB. She was in Mindanao yesterday (turf of duterte) particularly in Cagayan de Oro with some volunteer nurses and doctors for her VACCINE EXPRESS project. Then she went to Bukidnoon to visit those farmers she helped when she was not yet in the political scene. Considering the lowest budget allotted to the Office of the Vice-President, volunteers and donors are donating non-stop. She has focused on the Covid-19 since last year – free rides to frontliners, accommodations, medical kits, PPEs, face masks etc. She is always the first to extend help to flood victims.
Yesterday was a sea of pink again with those caravans in several towns and provinces in support of Leni. There was this very touching scene of father and daughter biking with their bikes full of pink ribbons. How lovely, they were on the road too. In Cagayan de Oro, she met Mayor Moreno who came out in the open to support her. Mayor Moreno was a former unibanker where I used to work. He was the Vice-President and Legal Counsel of BPI Capital Corp., a subsidiary of Bank of the Phillipine Islands.
Praying hard for the win. If we’ll have an honest election, she will win.
I’ll always remember this ‘the last man standing is a woman”.
Now, back to reading.
Hoping all goes well

Oh thank you Pete. This is our chance to bring democracy back again. Did you know that duterte is being investigated by the ICC for human rights violation?

When is the election? I have learned so much about the corruption in your country from your posts and surely pray for the change you need to come.

Thank you Elizabeth. We will have it May next year. The dutertes are quiet but there is still November 15 where substitution is allowed among those candidates. They may even substitute his daughter sara who has filed her COC earlier as reelectionist of Davao as mayor. They have someone, a useless senator who hasn’t done anything the last five years as a possible substitute. That is how dirty politics is here at the moment under duterte.
